HARDING ON AGRICULTURE

Senator Harding's great speech on
agriculture has attracted nationwide
attention. Richard H. Edmonds, one
of the greatest editors of the coun-
try, says:
Entirely without regard to wheth-
er he be a Democrat or a Republican,
every thoughtful man in this country,
indeed, every woman and every boy
and girl in the land, should have the
opportunity of studying Senator Har-
ding's speech on agriculture. He has
visualized the whole situation and dis
cussed it with greater clearness and
force than any other man in public
life. AS compared with Senator
Harding's address at Minneapolis, all
other speeches on agriculture and its
relation to the life of the nation sink
into insignifcance."
The difference between Senator
Harding and Governor Cox is that the
speeches made by the former show
evidences of deep thought and serious
consideration of our great national
problems, while the speeches made by
Governor Cox are the speeches of a
ward politician who is casting about
for ways to get votes.

Farmers Beat the Sugar Game.

Idahoans who wish to take some
of the sting out of high sugar
prices by making beet sugar sir
llp for home consumption in the
fall should attend at once to
planting whatever acreage OF
beets they may need, according to
experts of the University OF Ida
hos horticultural department.
Early planting is advised partl-
cularly in the non-irrigated sec
tons, where it is necessary to
take advantage Of surface mols-
ture. Ground which is not too
rich, a fine, firm seed bed, rows
20 inches apart and sowing at a
depth Of from one-half to an inch
are declared to be the essential
first steps.
Tests made at the university
show that bushel Of beets, 80 to
40 pounds, will make approx
mately three quarts of high grade
strip which makes griddle cakes
appealing and has numerous other
table uses. 1t can be readily sub
stituted for at least part ofNhe
sugar and used in making dark
cakes and cookies and certain
kinds of preserves.
A circular on making both APP
pie and sugar beet sirups is now
being prepared by university peo-
pie and will be ready for distribu
ton in the near future.
