Opportunities

Get together" is the word today get together for the peace and safety of all the world-for renewed pros pcrity and greater opportunity for us all-for a welcome home and spe- cial chance for our returning soldier boys.
 Get together" and Back to the land" are the two thoughts that are shaping special government policies and inspiring special legislation, state and national
 But there is 2 getting together, and iu the very real sense a getting back to the land which needs no legisla- ton, no special organization, nothing but 9 better understanding of cOndi- tions in any locality by all the people living in that locality.
 Here in Yavapai county this is par ticularly true-getting together needs no special machinery-nothing but fuller use of the means we already have and the most important ot these is the newspaper which reaches the greatest number of readers in city and country and IS peculiarly able to further the mutual under standing which insures friendliness and demonstrates how identical are the interests of all the people in all the county. Getting together in yavapai is an easy and a pleasant thing and it is worth while all the way round.
 New Department
 It is to prove how good thing this getting together can be for all concerned that the Weekly Journal Miner opens this new department
 Here country and city will meet once a week and talk things over.
 Here the ranchman and farmer and miner will ind what the city has to offer that will meet his special need. be it new farm machinery, a new saddle, a cowboys pocket knife especially designed to ear-mark al calf in the shortest time, or the lat est thing in orc buckets. s Here the country woman will find what special sales are on of articles she would like particularly to use in her housekeeping.
 There is no limit, nor set field, tor the service which this department hopes to render. Yavapai is county of varied resources and we mean, time to time, to reect and promote the interests of all.
 Saving the Farmer
 Last winter a Yavapai farmer fed to his hogs a variety of corn selling n one of the stores in Prescott at the present time at 20 cents a pound for seed corn; variety listed 1n i some of the seed catalogues at 30 i cents a pound. Pretty expensive rog feed when his neighbors few miles away would have been glad to | -ngaee seed corn from him.
 Last winter in one locality near Prescott some fifty head of cattle i lied from eating hay made of a . weed present on practically all cattle ranges and long supposed to be tarmless. Investigation shows that his plant has at various times killed .tock elsewhere. A full report ot being made by .our tate Veterinarian and others will e given in this department and the xperiencc of other cattlemen united,
 More than five years ago the Dry Farm Experiment Sta ios demonstrated a method of mak- f ng and filling a silo within reach of 1, he pocket of any farmer. The then manager of the farm offered his ser ices in helping any farmer to git he idea and the few who took ad- -antage of his experience have in crested their neighbors. There is much more to be said f bout silo methods within reach of ! nv ranch or farm, and the feed hortagc of the past winter has lade it imperative that good inIor- i lation on the subject should not be fit lying around unknown.
 Year of Opportunity This spring opens with more en- 2 for the farmer than ny for many years past. It looks $ if any seed put into the earth i -ould produce a full crop. As a latter of fact most of our farmers re planting as never before, larger -eas and the widest variety of crops. ome of the best known ranches l ok like experiment stations them t Ives; OH one not far from Prescott ' bout ten varieties of corn arc being :, jed out, including two from Italy, ( lc from Australia, and two from olivia.
 It will be within the scope of this to tell how all these w things turn out-and where seed | n be gotten near at home of those '
