The WEEKLY LETTER
OF JOHN H. PAGE
Some Timely Advice To
Farmers They Should Read
And Ponder Welk

Every farmer should have a clod
| breaker and roller. The clods are
nuisance and a hindrance to young
growing crops. Don't plant your
seed among ciOds. Get a clod break
ing roller or make you a drag You
can make a drag of two inch planks,
split logs or poles, fastened together
with cross pieces. If you can't do
that, then you can cut dom some
sapiin9s and make you a brush
drag, which is better than nothing,
and often serves the purpose we'll
After your crop is planted, run
roller or drag over it and smooth
the ground down and break up the
clods. When your cotton or corn
comes up run a section harrow di
agona.ly across it, and kill out the
small weeds and grass. 1t won't
hurt yonr cotton if you harrow it
the second time diagonally cross
ways of the first narrowing. 1t will
thin out the cotton a good deal, but
you will still have a good stand,
and ii will be comparatively clean
when ready for further cultivation.
When cotton chopping begins you
will find you have a good stand and
a clean crop. The corn treated by
cross narrowing will be thrifty and
clean and you will get good start
on the weeds and grass.
Don't fail to plant plenty of sweet
potatoes and the California White
peas with black eyes. Sweet pota-
toes are easy to keep and make
fine food for winter use. The Cali
fornia black-eyed pea is a stock or
field pea, and can be grown in any
way the ordinary COW pea can be
grown. 1t is the best table pea
grown, and thousands of bushels are
sold in the grocery stores every
year. They are now selling at ten
cents pound, or six dollars a
bushel. 1t is an early pea, and if
planted early in the drill two crops
can be grown on the same ground
in one season. Ii is good for man
or beast.
By all means do not plant too
much cotton. Cotton is now good
price and we hope it will continue
that way. Concentrate your labor
on the best land, use manure and
fertilizer and try to make a big yield
of cotton on a small acreage in
stead of planting big crop that
you can not manure, fertilize or
properly work. You will make more
money on ten acres that will make
ten bales than you will on twenty
acres that will make twelve bales.
Remember that the net profit is
what counts. Better have ten acres
Of good, we'll manured cotton land
that will make a bale to the acre
and let the other ten acres grow up
10 bermuda or crab grass and cut il
for hay, than 20 scatter the same
amount Of manure over the twenty
acres and halfway cultivate it,
Look we'll after the manure.
C'ean out the stables, sheds and
lots, and scatter we'll all the manure
you can get If you have some
thin spots Of land, spread manure
there OF plant to peas, or what is
still better, do both.
Don't forget the garden. Make a
good one and help your wife culti-
Vate it, If you want any advice
about how to grow vegetables you
can get L from the directions print
ed on the package That's where
the most Of advice on vegetable
| growing comes from anyway

COCHRAN'S COMMENT

III INV EOFN 7 ENSES-- L4eLDOA
hasn't got much for itself by prayer.
It had to fight. 1t got only what it
was strong enough to take. That's
about all it ever will get-what it can
take by sheer strength of Organiza-
ton. Where labor is UnOrganized
there is peace-and slavery. There
is peace in the department stores be-
cause there is no organization Of en-
plOyes-and there is slavery. En-
plOyerS are organized, and each en-
plOye not only has to stand alone in
his fight for justice against his en-
plOyer, but he has to go against an
organization of all the employers.
The blacklist is one of the weapons
Of State street. BTiCklayeTs are or
ganized; so are plumbers, steamft-
.ers, teamsters and hOdcarTiers- and
they earn as much in a week as some
store clerks get in a month. OTgani-
cation and war did it. A strike is war.
So is picketing and boycotting and
blaCklisting. Recently coal drivers

war. The street car men didn't win
that increase by the soft words of
peace. They declared war and struck.
An industrial war is on now. Indus
trial peace will come only when both
sides are so thoroughly organized
that each will fear and respect the.
strength of the other. Then peace
will come because it is more econOm-
lcal than war. Even when peaceful
victories are won it is because of the
fear of war. If the workers all over
the world we're organized they could
enforce peace between nations, but
hey are not we'll enough organized
In any one country to enforce peace
there. They can't get the justice they
demand in this country because they
are at war among themselves-with
union and nOn-uniOn armies. Even
organized workers are at war as

don't know but what that would be
a good thing.
Party politics is war, and darned
nasty war at that. There is intOler-
ance among all the partisans-Re-
pUblicans, Socialists, Democrats,
Vets, DTys. In the religious world
there is a war of creeds, with all the
intolerance that goes with war. If
any one creed were strong enough it
would resort to CONSUMPTION. There's
as much intolerance in the war be-
tween Vets and DTys as in the war
between Germans and English.
We are living all the time in one
mad, cruel war of opinions. Each Of
us tries to impose his will upon
others. We declare war on all who
don't think as we think. We're not
whole lot better than our ancestors
who burned women as witches. Our
methods are not so crude, but there
is little difference in the spirit Of in
tolerance now and 100 or 200 years
ago. Catholics and PrOtestants don't
kill one another nOW-that is, not
with swords and bayOnets. But some
of them would murder one anOther's
political liberty. They stab with scan
daIOUs tongues and SINCE and scOrch
with the fire of hate. Christians de-
clare social war on Jews, and white
folks on black ones. We Christians
go souI-saving with the bible in one
hand and the sword in the other. We
want God to give us what we pray
for, even if we have to fight for it.
Even the family is most of the time
in a state of war. Fathers whip their
children to make them mind" And
that's what the two groups of Euro
pean allies are trying to do. They're
fighting like bTothers-Or sisters.
One might say like husbands and
wives.
If we keep out of the European
scrap We'll fight among ourselves. If
we get in it We'll have peace among

CASE ORDERED BACK TO THE
FIFTH DISTRICT COURT BY
JUDGE HARRINGTON

Attorney H. R. Cooke received a
message this afternoon from Car
son City stating that the suit of
the White Caps Mining company
versus the Manhattan Con company
had been remanded back to the fifth
district court for trial. The case
was appealed from the state court
to the federal jurisdiction by the
Manhattan Con. attorneys and this
action signifies that the federal
court refuses to take jurisdiction In
the premises.
The suit arises out of a claim aris-
ing from the issuance of preferred
stock secured by mortgage on the
company's property.
C. C. Boak, secretary Of the de-
fendant company when informed of
the ruling, said. This matters very
little and 1t is safe to say the case
will never come into the courts.
Steps have been taken looking to a
settlement of the debt and nego
