THE SCIENCE OF FARMING
BY w. A. Dougherty u S. D.

/ One who may be inclined to consider
local conditions and apply them as be-
ing world conditions, will quite natur-
Tally receive an erroneous impression.
HE will lead himself to believe that
THE industry is either flourishing or 60
ling to the bowwows, according to
whether the particular local condition
Is favorable or otherwise. But the one
who will view the entire dairy indus
try from bird's-eye vantage point
that will present the facts regarding
the past and present, will be very fav-
orably impressed with the prospects of
the future. He will become imbued
with the following thoughts SO aptly
expressed by c. W. Larson, Chief Of
the United States Dairy Division in the
following Paragraph:
Nature provided the mammarv
glands Of the COW that she might feed
her calf until it could forage for itself.
Selection, feeding, and careful mating
have developed dairy animals until to-
day some individual dairy COWS could
easily support dozen calves. The
calf still gets its share, but most Of the
milk produced today supports our chill
dren and ourselves. Skilled labor,
clean barns, sterilized milk utensils,
and abundance Of feed, and healthy,
high-producing dairy COWS are essen
lals on modern dairy farm. That so
much milk Is produced economically |
and under sanitary conditions is
great compliment to the knowledge, |
kill, aRd tireless energy of our dairy !
men. Not alone milk, but milk and all |
is products, demand intelligent, con-
tant care all along the way. The sue
.essful dairy herd receives intelligent
management, and so does the
.reamery, the cheese factory, the milk 4
'lant, the ice cream factory, and other
places where milk and its products are /
As the country becomes
more populous and cities grow larger, /
he demand for milk becomes greater
md the problem of economic produc-
ion and distribution more difficult. AS (
hese problems are solved, the dairy
business advances to higher levels, and
he gain that comes from improved
Of production and manufac-
ure benefits the producer and consum-
r alike"

Your Turn Has Come to Back Your
Theories By Cooperating With Us

The Llano Colony is now in the best
shape it has ever been.
This means both financially and socially.
We have spirit Of success among the peo-
pie that can be felt. 1t is upbuiding, up
lifting
The crops are in splendid shape. We have
: nearly 50 acres in sweet potatoes which
should yield at least 200 bushels to the acre.
The colony contracted in 1917, when we
came to Louisiana. to purchase a huge tract
of land, nearly 10000 acres. We are to buy
1000 acres at time, and we get the deed
to what we buy, so that it is ours and cannot
be taken from us should we fail to make flu
ture payments.
We pay only So per acre for the land.
10 save interest and to save us the worry
OF finding the money to meet these payments
we offer you the chance of cooperating with
US on the following plan, which secures your
money with splendid land
This land contains not only some of the
best farming land but also some fine tim
Der. Some of the farm lands have already
been promised to nearby farmers at SIS an
acre. The timber is worth from $40 to $50
an acre and upwards for the hardwoods. On
most of the land there is second growth pine
worth, in some places, up to SIS an acre.
We do not want to draw on other re-
sources to pay for this land To do so would
hamper us in other operations, would handi-
cap us in carrying out this years plans. So
we are calling on our friends. We do not
want to deal with capitalists if we can avoid
it. So we are offering proposition which
we believe will be attractive to our friends.
We are offering them the opportunity to be-

throughout the United States concern ing street railways are similar to those in Phoenix.
 The railway company claims that traffic along Washington street does not justify the installation of a track which it says will some day be es- sential.'
 The first order requiring the com pany to lay double tracks was issued in 1913, when the jurisdiction and au- thority of the commission to issue such an order was taken into the courts. It finally reached the supreme court of the United States, which held that the commission had the authority. At the same time it granted the rail- way company an extension of time.
 The extension was granted over the war period and it is understood that the commission had considered grant ing the application for five years, two of the members signing the order when it was reconsidered and cut to three years. Finally the two year de- cision was reached on the strength, il is said, of the report of the prospective purchase which would be stalled if the order was made effective, as busi- ness man would hesitate in assum- ing such an obligation

GIVE STREET JAR CO.
 TWO YEARS TO DOUBLE TRACK WASHINGTON

A two-year extension of time to double track West Washington street from Seventh to Seventeenth avenues was granted the Phoenix Street Rail way company by the corporation com mission yesterday. The original or der was issued in June, 1913.
 Tn granting the extension the com mission stated in it's order that a change in ownership and management had been reported and believing that an order calling for immediate eXpen allure in double tracking would block the sale it would extend the time fin the interests of the public"
 The commission emphasized the fact tha tthe order was not to be construed as an abandonment of the improve ment. It made a point of the repre- sentation made that within a period of approximatel ytwo years the tracks would call for rather extensive repairs, and that there appeared to be at this tim ea trend toward lower prices for steel and ties "and while pre.-war con- ditions may not be reached within a two-vear period. this phase of the sit uation will then be sufficiently devel- oped to determine more definitely what the future holds forth"
 The railway company in it's appli- cation asked for a fiveyear extension Of time to double track Washington street. passing its claim on war time conditions with the attendant difficulty if not impossibility of securing material and labor"
 This phase Of the situation also was taken into consideration in the order
 which was written by Commissioner | F. A. Jones, who agreed that substan- | tially the same condition prevails as when the last extension was granted | in 1917 and that general condition:

 But, huh! F'ess just took out his keys and let himself out into the sum- shine. He left note behind:

 Later on he returned to Whitesburg and was rearrested. He carried his case to the court of appeals and was released on bond.
