FRUIT VS.. ALFALFA,

In recent contribution to the Ga
zette on the buy at home question pub
licity was given to a merchants advice
to dig out your orchard and sow al
falfa." This advice is too freely given
out by people who are incompetent to
advise, therefore they should not ped
die such dope.
What to plant and what to dig out
Is of vital interest to this new project
But when the farmer comes to con-
slider this question he should consult
with the experienced farmer and ex-
pert before reaching decision. The
writer has actual records of many
crops, hay, grain and fruit, and these
records, covering period of five years
show that fruit will pay for the big
ditch" and alfalfa will not.
Men able to Judge, say We can grow
the best apples in the world. Men of
national reputation declare that we
can grow the largest, the reddest and
the very best keeping and best flavor
ed apples. the king of all fruits, and

average price the cash buyer has paid)
urde' such conditions as have prevail

do as well. We can grow 1000 bushels
of apples on an acre after the 9Th year

Some of our democratic exchanges
are making big noise over the an
nouncement that Francis J. Heney, the
California attorney of considerable
noteriety, who was big bore pro-
gressive, has come out in support Of
Wilson. AS Heney was a democrat be-
fore switching to the progressive par
ty there is nothing significant in his
returning to the democratic fold. It
was but the natural step for him to
take after the disintegration of the
progressive party.

1t would be the hight of foolishness
for the people of this senatorial dis
trict to elect a democrat to the Joint
senatorship this year. The legislature
of this state will be overwhelmingly
republican, and democrat in that
body could accomplish very little for
his constituency, unless that democrat
was endowed with a strong personality
and more than modicum of brains,
and it now looks as though no such
democratic candidate is going to enter
the lists and take the chances,

II. o. Fishback, state insurance COM
missioner, announces his candidacy
for reelection. In seeking renomina-
|tion in the republican primaries, Mr..
Fishback points with a good deal of
pride to his past record in the business
land commercial world and his activi-
tiles and unwavering affiliation with
the republican party.
Mr.. Fishback is candidate from the
southwestern counties, and considers
that he is entitled to a denomination,
both because of the geographical loca-
ton of his home, which is at Adna, in
Lewis county, and because of the rec
ord and showing made by his depart
ment during the past three years.
In speaking of his candidacy and the
work of his office, Mr.. Fishback says:
-Four years ago, at the solicitation
of several of the leading newspapers
of the state and many leading repub-
licans, | announced myself as a candi-
date for the state insurance commits
sioner at the September primaries. My
only pledge at that time was, If elected,
to administer the affairs of the office
in conformity with the provisions Of
the insurance code. l received the NOM
ination for the office by large major
lily. and was later elected by plural
candidate.
"On assuming the duties of the office
in January, 1913, l secured the services
of the most competent assistants pos
sible and since that time it has been
the aim of every one connected with
the department to give the best posi-
BILE service to the public, and at the
same time deal fairly and justly with
the different companies and their
agents. Owing largely to the loyalty,
lfaithfulness and competence of my as
sistants, I feel that the department
has given efficient and satisfactory
service to all who have had dealings
with it, and If it is the desire of the
people of the state that / shall again
serve them in the same capacity, l will
be glad to receive their vote at the
september primary election and regu-
lar November election, if reelected,
shall expect to conduct the department
in accordance with the laws of the
state and along the same lines that !
have during my present term of office. u
| The business of the insurance de-
lpartment has been growing very fast
during the past few years. Since JAN
uary 10, 1913, the date Mr.. Fishback
took office, up to the present time
covering a period of three years, four
and one half months, the department
has collected and turned over to the
state treasurer the sum of $1,000, 49,
1873. This exceeds the total collections
of the previous six years by $5,232.53
The expense of operating the depart
ment has been less than per cent OF
the receipts, which leaves very large
balance for the benefit of the general
fund of the state, the excess during the
present biennial term being sufficient
to cover appropriations for salaries
and departmental expenses of all OF
the elective officers of the state, in
GLIDING the superior court.

The registration books close ten
days prior to the primary election, and
that is now only very few weeks Off
The man or woman entitled to vote Is
not eligible to cast a ballot at that cleo
ton unless registered. 1t is believed
that not more than half the qualified
electors of this county have so far reg
istered. If this proportion of registra-
ton holds out throughout the state
then nominations for national, state
and county offices will be made by a
small minority of the actual voters.
Under such condition snominatfons by
would be far preferable,
and would be more distinctively the
depression of the wishes of the voters.
The man or woman who does not
register and take part in the selection
of candidates is recreant to his or her
citizenship. The primary is going to be
a farce if the people are to remain
|supine and Indifferent and let few
voters dictate the nominees. Register
and do it at once. Then turn out at the
primary and express your preference
for the candidates whose names are on
the ballots of your political choice. r
