our CROPPING METHODS.

We have no patience with the man
who is always scolding the farmer and
making him responsible for the high
cost Of living. Agriculture in this
area is only a half century old and is
still in the early stages of its develop
ment. This means simply that the
farming is done or a large scale and
with few crops. Such a system nearly
always develops in a new settled area
under pioneer conditions. This should
not necessarily be called poor farming.
The cropping methods we use are
as a whole well suited to bur extern.

GROW ONE VARIETY.

There are many reasons why an en-.

A badly mixed wheat is also inferior

to do anything in the way OF separat,

To our house In Monterey Mr.. Ste
venson came often Of an afternoon to
read the results Of his mornings work
to the assembled family. While we
sat In a circle, listening in apprecia-
tive silence, he nervously paced the
room, reading aloud in his full, sonOr-
Gus voice-a voice that always seemed
remarkable In SO frail a man-his face
flushed and his manner rather embar-
raised, for, far from being overconf-
dent about his work, he always seem
ed to feel a sort Of shy anxiety lest 1t
should not be up to the mark.
In this way we heard THE Pavilion
on the Links" which he wrote while
at Monterey and read to US chapter
by chapter as they came from his
pen. While there he began another
story which was to have been called
ARIZONA Breckenridge; or, a Vendetta
In the West" This story. with it's
rather lurid title, was to have been
based upon some Of his Impressions
Of western America, but his heart
could not have been In 1t. for 1t was
Y finished.
The name Arizona came out Of his
intense delight in the "songful, tune
full" nomenclature Of the United
States, I'm which terms he refers to
1t In 'The Amateur Emigrant." The
name Susquehanna was a special Joy
to him, and he took pleasure In roll
ing it upon his tongue, adding to it's
music with the rich tones of his voice
as he repeated It: "Susquehanna. Oh,
beautifulr' While on the train pass
ing through Pennsylvania he wrote
some verses about the beautiful river
with the ~"tunefur" name in a letter to
his friend, Sidney Colvin. OF which
M stanza uns thus:
I think, I Hope, I dream no more

The cherished thoughts Of yore.

FEELING RUNNING H|GH AGAINST
 THE 1EUTONS
Outbreaks Occurring Des. pite Warning to Remain
 Calm

|
 From all parts of the country come reports evidencing strong feeling against Germany. While municipal authorities are cautioning citizens that this is a time to keep silent and pre- vent the rise of spirit that might re- suit in depredations on the property of Germans and violation of their per ons, the smoldering wrath of America refuses to be kept from an occasional verbal outbreak. In such cases, how ever, authorities are reported as say ing there has been some justification.
 An instance of how anti-German feel ing is being aroused comes from Mill waukee, Wis. A postcard came thru the postofTfce there the other day ad- dressed to a son of German mother ho will not allow his name to be used, which brought both message to him of his mothers health and her execution by the German authorities.
 The card was addressed to My son." The card said the mother was getting along well, and said T wish the Kali ser was dead"
 But there was an inscription across the card in another handwriting:
 Your mother was shot at sunrise. The censor"
 The story developed when the young man tried to enlist in the Navy and presented the card as evidence of his reason for being enrolled. He had not been naturalized and was for the time being rejected.
 In New York, N. r., few days ago the Rev Newell Dwight Hills said in an address:
 T am willing to forgive Germans for their atrocities just as soon as they are all shot. If you would give me happi- ness. just give me sight of the Kaiser, Von Tirpitz and Von Hindenburg hang ing by rope If We forgive Germany after this war think the universe will have gone wrong"
 At St. Louis, Mo, an oil painting of Kaiser Wilhelm, valued at $100, was slashed in the first anti-German dem- onstration reported to the police there. Fanatics wrecked the rooms of Ger man singing society.
 At Altoona, Pa, the singing of the national songs and anthems of Germ any. which have been taught as a part of the modern language and music i courses in the Altoona high schools, was discontinued by order of the school authorities. Only American patriotic airs will be used in the future.
 Near Manhattan, Kans., wealthy German farmer raised the German flag to the top of his windmill and declar- ed the land part of the German Elm pire, Anti-German feeling is running high, the neighbors have protested and have threatened to have him arrested and deported to Germany
 At Oregon Cit, Ore, o. Grant. a workman at Hawley Mills, saw Otto Erickson, foreman, tear down cor toon of Uncle Sam protecting the flag and heard him make what Grant con sidered an unpatriotic remark as he did so. A fight started. When it was over Erickson found himself submerg ed in vat of China clay, his feet kick ing toward the ceiling.
 At Haines, Alaska a few days agt for having been disrespctful to the flat one Schmidt was ordered to salute and kiss the flag. or take the conse quence. He did what he was ordered to do willingly as he claimed he ha' meant no disrespect.

FOR
 KAISER WILHELM


 man Emperor is forecast by the form CT German magistrate who wrote the celebrated book, "J'Accuse," in m in- tertiew published in Ouvde. He says: The Kaiser is obsessed with the thot that he is responsible for the war, Q thought which poisons his whole ex- istonco. He feels that he is menaced by the three enemies at home, without counting those abroad: First Is the Crown Prince, the real author of the war; second is the junker pan-German- ist-you can not imagine the smould- ering hatred of the Emperor for those whom he believes to be the maniacs who are driving him into an abyss; third, are the people, not the Social ist party, but the people who are starv- ing and who he feels are growing in number and rising little by little against those who organized the war.
 Tn particular he was personally op- posed to a break with President Will son, but he was forced to consent. Documents will be published one day which will prove that secretly he did everything not to bring America down upon him and that he considers that the rupture was an irreparable mis- take. The failure of the submarine war will soon show that he was right but it will be too late.
 He wants to continue popular at any price and that is why he spoke the first word of peace. The people were grateful for it, but the submar- inc war came and spoiled everything.
 Tt is hard to realize how the Emp eror. who enjoyed a popularity un- exampled in our epoch, suffers in his pride He alone perhaps in Germany knows the whole truth, since he alone has in his possession the elements for forming judgment in the situation as a whole.
 "Once he tried to initiate peace ne- gotiations and failed. To try again would be to admit and proclaim to the world, but above all to the German people, which he fears most, Germans real situation. If the Allies solemn ly declared, as they did with Napoleon in 1915, that they would refuse to treat for peace with the Hohenzollern it would be a knockout blow. Our German people. who still believe in him would abandon him, for peace at any price will soon be the unanimous and hidden thought of tortured Germ any
 What recourse is left to him but dramatic abdication in order to re- tain the sympathies of the German peo- pie and save the political future of Prussia. He will say: I sacrifice my self to make peace. Without me, those only are responsible who desired savage war and the complete isolation of Germany; those who took at the beinning my son as their party lead CT and forced me to mobilize, meas ure I hesitated to take"

Luther Burbank. the wizard Of plant
life, announces that by scientific crossing
he has developed a "super wheat" which
he expectS will yield from 50 to Is bushels

about 30 bushels.

breeding OF wheats for some time, but un-
til more is known about his super wheat
from actual experiment by the miller and
the bre2dmaker the wheat regions which
have been so often fooled by promises Of
magic varieties OF wheats, will hold their
opinion In reserve.
Last years wheat crop in the United
States wa about ESQ, 100000 bushels. Multi
ply. this. by three. which Mr.. Burbank
claims the super wheat win do. and We
have q crop Of $4,000. 900 bushels. Tho
