BY JUDGE DAVIS
Ruling on the Prohibition

The decision of Judge Davis Satur-

possession of interfering liqucr is
illegal, disposed in the district court
here of the main contention to lie
raised in several cases, which are
soon to come before the court. The
demurrers in a number of cases pend

and state that the mere possession is
not prohibitive under the law and that
the previous prohibition law applying
to dry districts is not applicable.

RULING o JUDGE DAVIS.
The ruling of Judge Davis upon the

In several important particulars. And
II can be reasoned logically hat since
the act that made Ada county dry did

manufacture, disposal and transporta-

not intend to prohibit possession.
However, The supreme court has

from 500 similar families. The man
who hauls grain for lc per bushei
receives pay according to the amount
OF grain he hauls. But in one case
the amount of grain is limited to
900 bushels. and in the other it is
limited to $500 bushels. the first
man will receive s25 and the second
$75. The man who gets s2J per
month must either he content with
that or hunt more work. If he seeks
the latter he is increasing the size
of his business.
This same principle may be ap-
piled to farming. Contrary to d be-
lief which is more or less prevalent,
investigation of size of farm and
crop yields shows that in many cases
the larger yields are received on
fairly large farms This applies to
types of farming that are similar.
1t means that the man with Il few
acres is receiving no greater yield
than men who are farming larger
number of acres
As rule the cost ner acre is less
on large than on small farms. But
assume that the cost per acre be the
same and the yield the same but in
one case one man farms f50 acres
and in the other case one man farms
80 acres. There is a difference in
size OF business. and we would eX-
pcct difference in income.
This is illustrated on seven Colo
RADIO farms of $50 acres each. Tn.
