LIVESTOCK AND RANGE
 REPORT, JUNE 25TH

Continued dry weather has affected a large part of the range country unfavorably but 3 considerable portion is still in excellent condition. As the rainfall for the months of May and June is very small it isto be expected that pastures should show some deterioration near
 the close of this period and that some sections are holding up well is a mater for congratula- ton. The greatest deteriora- tion has naturally occurred at low elevations where vegeta- ton has matured. Where spring rains were even moder- ate in amount pastures are re- ported as fair to good and stock generally in good conditin. In the north central sections both pastures and stock are in good condition. The water supply continues to be plentiful gen. erally.

Better Beef. Cattle Replace
 Scrubs

Scrubs
 Better beef cattle are replac-
 ing scrubs in many parts of the South and are pavingethe way for the future prosperity of the livestock industry in that sec ton. An example of such progress is reported by the agricultural agent of Nc Cor mick County, s. c. Since De. cember I, 75 head of breeding animals have been placed on the farms in this county, large ly through the efforts of agents, and there is every prospect that other farmers will start in the beef cattle business. Appar- ently, the agent reports. the time is not far distant when Mccormick County will have good cattle grazing on excel lent pasture land along the rivers. More pigs are also be- ing raised in the county, as the agent reports that he finds good brood sows and filters of fine pigs on many farms where three years ago the owners in the spring bought pigs from which to make meat in the fall.

My garden is twenty fit. wide and fifty fit. long. The fifty fit. runs North and South also the the rows run North and South.
 Each row is a foot apart.
 l have planted two rows of peas, one row of radishes, one row of beets, one row of lettuce and one row of carrots.
 Evereything is coming up nicely except my beets and they aren't up yet. 1 am going to plant some more radishes, some string beans, summer squash, cucumbers and turnips.
 It took about twenty minutes to stake off my garden, about twenty-five minutes to pant my peas and about two hours to plant the other seeds.
 It took about one hour to break up the Jumps of soil work down the ridges, and pull out the weeds.

 Great Foreign Population.
 In order that you may understand what a million immigrants per year means, 1 will only tell you that China which is supposed to be the most densely populated country in the en- tire world, is only four generations ahead of us. By this I mean that if our one million immigration per year had kept up for four generations this country would be as densely populated as China is today, which means in about 134 years

Where were our statesmen? Where the men who shape the nations destiny? Did We have no statesmen? Did we have nothing hut politicians? We surely had some great men like Roosevelt and Congressman Gardner, who saw what was coming: but they were preaching to Gc&f ears for they were swimming against the popular tide. Our captains of industry controlled public opinion, never telling thei, real motive, name ly that they wanted two men for one job, so as to keep labor back in it's struggle for eXistence; so as to control supply and demand in the market of labor as they controlled supply and demand in the market of merchandise.
