Beef Cattle Scarce--Interior is Short

PORTLAND, Aug. 49, That the
supply Of real good cattle in Central
oregon at this time Is extremely
short is the word brought to this city
by Fred Ball, a wen known shipper
from the Condon- Fossil section to the
Portland market.
According to Mr.. Ball. most Of the
cattle fit for beef has already been
sold in that section few cars remain
ing.
Il have never in the 81 years that
I have lived in the central Oregon
country seen such wonderful season
for grass, says Mr., Ball THE fields
have never trurned dry at any time
during the present season; in fact
the grass Is just as green as Is usual
during the month Of June.
The wheat crop in the vicinity Of
Fossil is so heavy that some of 1t
was knocked down by the recent
showers. All grain crops are very
good. this being especially true OF
oats"
Hog Quality IL Poor.
The Portland market has been bur.
dened Of late by very poor quality
swine While total offerings have
not been heavy, there has been too
much poor stuff and too little
real good quality available The Ida
no hogs that have come here recently
have been extremely thin, and un-
suited for the trade
Receipts Of hogs over night at
North Portland were limited with

WILL DISCUSS DEFENSE.

There will be a meeting in Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, next Friday that is of
Rational Importance, and will without
doubt prove fruitous of much good.
The meeting is one called as a con-
ference on national defense. No def
mite program has been arranged for
the gathering, it having been decided
as best that this should not be done A
schedule however has been arranged
under and by which several addresses
will be made by speakers of national
reputation. Among those will be n
Walter D. Lamar, we'll known in this
city where she visits quite frequently,
and Gov Nat E. Harris. Prominent
men from all over the country will be
present and have voice in the DELHI
erations of the meeting.
This assemblage will be the result
of a call issued by ninety mayors of
the country and for the purpose of con-
sidering means for national defense
as has already been mentioned.
This is what we need, gatherings
the country over. Let the leaders of
public opinion get together, arouse
the spirit of patriotism that is seem
ingly dormant, awake the people to
a sense of the importance of being
prepared when the blow has fallen
and the result will be a greater and
more glorious America than ever be-
fore.

TRUE TO YOURSELF.

1t has been said-"To thine own sell
bo true, and it must follow as night
the day, thou canst not be false to any
man."
To deal in such phrases as this
and the Golden Rule-seems out of
place in politics, but it should be
there.
Georgia, so far as a unit is con-
cerned, will send delegation of her
citizens to St Louis to attend the
national democratic convention-and
vote first, last and always for Wood
row Wilson as the nominee of the
party. This is to be taken that Geor-
gia is almost unanimous in her
choice of Wilson.
But not so, if we judge rightly the
petty rumblings on this side and that
side. There are people in Georgia to-
day, manifesting interest in the
Democratic party-so far as advice.
who are no more Democrats than
Teddy Roosevelt. Some are Republi
cans, others are Progressive, while
the main vanguard consists of selfish,
sneakish malcontents who are salts
fed with nothing just "agin" the
government.
These are the pests we must rid our
selves of, or reduce them to the prop
er level which is lower than nothing.
If man is a Republican or a Pro-
'gressive from principle, then let him
speak up and we will admire his cour-
age and the manifestations of his con-
vicious. But if he is Democrat for
spoils-and a traitor by his actions
then he must be freed. We once knew
a man who stuck his head in the wrong
political crowd-and his face neck
and makeup was smashed

THE GOVERNORS RACE.

Irwin Cobb, that versatile literary
genius, and who lately became re-
nowned because of the wrist-watch
and his indulgent farces with it,
once said-"in matters of religion,
am an innocent bystander."
And so it is in Georgia politics to-
day with some people. They are
''bystanders" and made innocent" be-
cause they do not understand all that
has been rumored and said. For in
stance, DR.. L. G. Hardman was "slat
ed" to retire from the race and enter
the congressional campaign. That
was promptly denounced by the gov
ernor-but certainly made interesting
reading
The people of Georgia have gotten
away from principles in politics and
reduced it to personalities. There are
certain people in Georgia today who
delight in Singing mud and their
fondest happiness is derived from
their ability to drag some skeleton
from the closet, however true or I'M
true the charges may be. And these
are people who control a certain
phase of the suffrage of the state. A

dirty charges-though they be fabri-

gentleman and certainly he has no
place among we'll meaning people.
And still, we fear Georgia is in for
this. Certain phases and likely de-
velopments portend an eventful ses-
ksion for state politics. There are
threatening clouds which do not have
savory essence. And, this is to be
regretted.
The Times-Recorder expects to deal
fairly, squarely and truthfully with
each candidate in the race, and it
hopes that it will not be placed in a
position where some might deem It
eXpedient ito fight fire with fire.
These are sad times, and none but a
coward is afraid to face the issues,

AN EXPLANATION.

In Tuesdays Times Recorder, in the
paragraphs of the first column of this
page, appeared a short item anent GER
tain parties whose names have been
prominently mentioned in the Savan-
rah matter occupying the attention OF
the state. We wish to rectify the state
ment by withdrawing all comment on
the matter It appeared without the
knowledge and sanction of the man
agement.
Because of friendship to all parties
in the discussion in Savannah; be-
cause of the affair being one totally the
property of Savannah-and in short,
because it is none of our business, the
Times-Recorder has seen fit to avoid
any comment of it's own knowledge.
This statement is made entirely vol
u'.tarily on the part of the editor with
cut suggestion or comment from any
ole.

HOW TO PREPARE, PLANT AND
CULTIVATE IRISH POTATOES

Fall potatoes: One of the most prof
liable crops, and one of the most use
full that can be possibly be planted on
our Southern farms, is the fall crop
of Irish Potatoes.
Many people who have tried plant
ing this crop continue to do so, and
the interest is increasing. This crop is
different from the spring crop, will
keep almost indefinitely as they can be
housed in barrels; in an ordinary cell
lar, barn or any other dry cool place,
and are convenient for use throughout
the entire winter, and will keep per-
fectly until June and July, when they
are ready for seed that perfect stand
can be secured from. Therefore, this,
the Lookout Mountain Potato has been
grown year after year strictly for fall
planting, and the seed harvested in
October and November are best for
fall planting.
A perfect stand can be secured from
this seed as they are sprouted by June,
ready to terminate Immediately after
being painted in the ground. They
will not make in the spring, as their
habits have been completely changed
owing to the continued fall planting
for more than 220 years.
The Lookout Mountain Potato is
sound and firm, there never being any
BLACK hearts among them; also free
fro1 ! scab. They are the best to keep,
hea W yielders, are mealy and the
very best of table potatoes.
One of the principal reasons why
people should plant this potato ex-
tensively is because they can be Gull
tivated at time when labor is usually
plentiful, and not much else to do on
the farm. Furthermore, their keeping
quality is another reason why you
should plant them and you are never
bothered with the dreaded bugs with
this crop, as they do not propagate
during the cool nights of September
and October.
II the following instructions are
carried out you can easily produce
from 100 to 200 bushels per acre on
good land. The proper way to plant
and cultivate them, for instance; after
grain crops have been harvested the
stubble land is ideal for growing these
potatoes. The ground should be first
roughly broken with to 4-inch
scooter, narrowed thoroughly with a
disk harrow, and a few days after this
ground should be turned deep with a
two-horse pillow; narrowed thoroughly
and either rolled or dragged. Every
5 and Z days al weeder or peg-toothed
harrow should be run over the ground
to keep it open and moisture circulat-
ing in the seed and. Any time after
the 9Th of July to the Goth of August
for middle and south Georgia is the
proper time to plant as it requires
about 80 days for them to mature.
