defeats in a row the Giants second

ALL NOXIOUS WEEDS
MUST BE DESTROYED

| wish to call the attention of all
land owners and tenants, also agents
of the owners, to Section BAL, Road
Laws of Washington, which reads as
follows:
1T shall be the duty of every own
er, lessee, occupant or agent thereof,
or of any person having the care and
charge of any land or lands, i'm
proved or unimprged, enclosed or
uninclosed, in this state, to cut down
or otherwise destroy all noxious
weeds growing thereon or on any
road, street or highway to the center
thereof bordering on any such land
or lands, so often in each and every
year as shall be certain to prevent
them from going to seed.
AS ISconstrue the law, | haven't
the right to use the road funds for
destroying these weeds, not even in
the road. but must file the informa-
ton with the prosecuting attorney,
and he will serve notice through the
sheriffs office. after which we can
proceed to destroy all noxious weeds
and charge all expense and costs to
the abutting property.

do not think It necessary, at this
time, to file this information, but
believe that calling your attention
to the fact that there are good
many places where the mustard and

much start will be all that is neces-
sary, and whether you are land
owner or tenant, you will not delay
the destroying of these weeds, as

THE WEAKNESS OF THE FARMER

The helplessness of the farmer to
safeguard his own interests in a large
way was never better illustrated than
at the present time. When the gov
eminent wishes to buy steel. to be
used in building ships or for any
other purpose, keen-witted repre-
sentatives of the various steel con-
Germs meet with the government rep
resentatlves. They are prepared to
show in great detail the various items
OF cost which enter into the manu-
facture of steel, the amount of cap
ital upon which interest must be al
lowed, the cost of labor and of fuel
and OF raw material, and, after al
lowing for all Of these things, and
decent profit in addition, the con-
tract is made. And so 1t is with
guns, mmunition, clothing for the
soldiers, and everything else which
the government may wish to pur-
chase. The manufacturers Of all
these things are treated literally;
they are permitted to make hand
some profits in addition to a fair
rate of interest upon the capital In
vested. Why? Because they are
organized Because they understand
all of the details OF their business.
Because they choose thoroughly COM
petent representatives-men just a
little smarter than the men who act
for the government.
The laboring men are organized
Last year we had a fine illustration
of their power when the representa-
tives of 100000 railroad laboring
men-probably the highest paid
laboring men in the world-forced
the president and congress to enact
a law which gave them large in
crease In wages. And during the
last two months we have had con-
slant evidence Of the strength of or
ganized labor in the influence its
representatives have eXerted at
Washington to secure the enactment
of the food control bill, and to secure
representation on the boards which
will have the authority to exempt
the drafted men from military
service.
The farmers alone are morgan
lied, and consequently they will take
whatever the government and the
organized interests see fit to give
them. There is no one to speak with
authority for any considerable num-
Der of farmers. They have no care
fully chosen representatives who
understand farming in all its phases,
and who can meet with representa-
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1917-07-13

tlves of other interests and say: 1--WE
represent so many million farmers.
We can do this; we can do that"
When the administration for food
control is organized, the representa-
tives Of the laboring men will appear
before 1t and explain how prices of
food must be reduced IL they are to
work efficiently, and government
representatives always hear with def
erence what the labor representa-
tiyes want to say because they are
organized. Well informed repre-
sentatives of the farmers ought to
be present when the prices of grains
and meats, and other farm products,
are being considered. They ought to
be able to show the amount of money
the farmer has invested, and insist
that he be allowed a reasonable rate
Of interest on it, just as the manu-
tacturer is allowed a reasonable rate
OF interest on his capital investment.
They ought to claim pay for the of
fertility that is taken off with the
crop, for that is the farmers cap
ltal, and he can not afford to dissi-
pate 1t. They ought to claim for the
farmer a fair wage for his own labor,
taking into consideration the size of
the business and the property in
vestment. They ought to insist upon
all of these things being considered
as a part Of the cost of production.
People are crying out against the
high prices of farm products, Prices
are high. The grain farmer is MAX
ing money. But prices are not near
ly so high as they seem when com
pared with prices of other things
And the farmer, even the grain farm
er, is not making as much money as
he thinks he is. A year or two after
peace comes the farmer will enter
period of depression in agriculture;
the lean years will come just as they
did after the Civil war, just as they
did in the late SOS and early COS.
And they will be all the more severe
because of the high prices of the
present time.
Thoughtful formers will take note
Of these things. They will take note
Of the rapid depreciation in the fer
tility OF our rich corn belt lands.
They will consider how to protect
their own farms SO that they may
be handed down to their sons not en-
tirely exhausted. And thcy should
especially consider how to organize
intelligently and effectively, so that
the farmers voice may be heard
when the farmers interests are at
stake.-Wallaces Farmer
