DANGER or EARLY PLANTING

We desire 10 caution the farmer
against too early planting this
year. The incentive to make q
large crop is so universal that
the temptation to plant early is
liable to seriously handicap many
II may be that 10 some instances,
early planting win mean a larger
yield, especially so with corn,
but The scarcity Of good planting
seed IS so serious a matter this
year. that It is advisable to wait
until a good stand is practically
sure.
The ground should be thorougly
prepared, and become warm be-
fore the danger OF cold weather
is past, the stand might be so
bad that it would be imperative
to plant again, and the problem Of
getting more seed would confront
us in a much more serious condi-
ton than AT present. From OBJ
servation and experience, we are
convinced that is not the one who
plants first who makes the best !
crop. The one who thoroughly
prepares his land, lets it become
warm before planting and lntens-
ly cultivate it afterwards, in most
cases makes a better crop than
the farmer who plants early with
out the best preparation.

MILITARY PREPAREDNESS.

Moving of heavy gun carriages and
heavy loads of munitions and army
supplies necessitate better roads than
at present are available in Oregon.
Our state is exposed to attack; the
railroad facilities are not as well
adapted to carrying heavy guns as
are improved highways; and it is up
to Oregon to get its through trunk
roads in shape to facilitate the move
ment of supplies.
Should the railroad centers be-
come too congestcd, owing to war
burdens, or should they fall into the
hands of an enemy, the through
roads would be the only means of
communication left to get supplies
from place to place in the interior
Farmers would of necessity depend
upon the through roads for market
ing their crops. Every resident Of
Oregon will see the necessities of the
situation once this is called to his at
tention, and will see the bearing this
has on the road question to be voted
upon June 4.
