In connection with the Farm Confer
enee, attention should be called to the
report just issued by the joint Com
mission of Agricultural Inquiry. This
report effectually discredits the lead
ing piece of fiction current to the eff
feet that the prosperity of the Amer
lean farmer depends upon European
markets, rather than upon the pros
perity of American industry and A
merican working men, who constitute
the American home market. The
facts set forth In this report are tax

years a resident of Whitewater. Mr..
Starin, a well-educated youth Of nine
teen, came to Wisconsin from New
York State in the spring of 1910, land
ing at Milwaukee, Thence he walked
to East Troy, which he described with
its beautiful lake; rode on a wagon to
Whitewater and described the begin
nings of that place; took a trip across
Bark River into the forest and des-
cribed the beginnings of sawmilling
operations there. Later he made the
TIP from Whitewater, via Madison,
to Fort Winnebago, using his pen
cleverly in depicting all that he saw
on the way. On his travels afoot
from Whitewater through Walworth
County to Illinois he saw and com-
naitted to his journal accounts of nu-
merous places-Elllhorn, Geneva and
others. Still later he traversed the

Milwaukee for the purpose of entering

over some other portions of the state,
describing the prairies, the openings,

a beautiful pennan and delightful
writer, so that we have in his jour

the settlements of southeastern and
southern Wisconsin, and of many of
the favored places which were soon to
receive settlements. It is a valuable

UNIQUE PLAN FOR SOLUTION OF
TWO NATION wide PROBLEMS
arm Bureau in Cass County, North Dakota Would Relieve Un
employment and Stabilize Farmers Market by
One Simple Operation.

for only two, or at most three, months
| in the fall of the year; and large tracts
| Of what are now wheat lands will be
left idle, furnishing room for almost
| countless others TO come in and take
up gainful occupation.
| To facilitate the ease with which
| those who have hankering to get
close to mother earth could acquire
these idle tracts, the Cass county plan
Incorporates many points which are
| unique in real estate economy In the
nrst place, to insure substantially, the
erstwbtle wheat domains will be listed
In quarter-section tracts only. Second,
their sale will be handled only through
the county organization, which will
collect the list price fixed by the
owner, deduct five percent for the
county fund, and turn over the re-
mainder to the owner of the tract; the
advantages of this plan are obvious,
as the seller knows he is getting his
price and the buyer knows no one is
making exorbitant profits on the deal ::
and both reap a benefit from the five
percent commission, since the funds
thus collected will be used only for a
furtherance of this plan to solve the
for exploiting any individual get-rich-
quick scheme. Finally, those who take
advantage Of this opportunity to ac-
Quire land and join the great army of
Independent free-holders. will be given
ample financial assistance through
long period of years under the super
vision Of the county Organization.
The value Of the vast tracts which
will be left open for more populous
settlement through this intensification
of farming effort will be fixed by ap-
praisal committees under the direction
Of the county organization, and when
they are listed for disposal their exact
condition will be set forth on the
theory that the buyer Is to be future
neighbor of the seller, and their rela-
tlons ought to be amicable.
Those who are in position to erect
the necessary buildings for the COM
mencement of ordinary farm opera
lions will be relieved of the necessity
of making down payment" for the
erection Of the buildings will be ac>
cepted as evidence of good faith. The
organization even will have competent
men ready to present plans to all who
are ambitious to have model farm
homes.
On the whole, the Cass county plan
Is movement for farm neighborliness
which should be copied wherever agri-
cultural conditions offer the opportun-
lty, and which should be welcomed
there are crowded conditions
and unemployment. .

new POWDER
FOR BLASTING

The Du Pont Company has just put
on the market a newly developed dy-
Mantle, which exhaustive tests show
reduces the cost of farm blasting by
one-third. The explosive is known as
Dumorite and is the result of months
of effort on the part of the Company's
chemical engineers.
Each stick of the new powder, it
has beer found by laboratory and field
tests, will do equal work with forty
per cent dynamite. The enormous
saving which is announced lies in the
fact that each case of the new powder
contains approximately one thirdm more
sticks and therefore, makes it possible
TO blow out one-third more stumps.
blast one-third more boulders. or plant
one-thlrd more trees for every dollar
of explosives invested in.
Besides the extraordinary economy
Of the new dynamite, which, it is ex-
ected, will make possible a great in
crease in land clearing activities, it
has other qualities which in them
selves are enough to bake it highly
welcome to consunlers-it cannot
freeze and it will not produce head
ache. This results from the fact that
Dumorite is dynamite manufactured
on double base of modified nitrogly
cerln and gun-cotton and in this form
nltroglycerin loses its property of
freezing or of producing headache. as
1t IS practically a solid. Also the keep
ing qualities of Dumorite are excel
lent and equal to those of any dyna-
mite on the market.
In order to arrive at the perfected
explosive, several hundred trial mix
ihgs were made up, all of which were
carefully studied and analysed BY ex-
ploslve experts. The final powder"
was then subjected to every possible
laboratory test. 1t was afterwards
taken to the field where it was tried
out under actual working conditions.
These field trials were conducted in
different parts of the country under
varying conditions as to temperature,
conditions of soil and work.
The results obtained by Dumorite
under conditions of every day work
proved conclusively it's economy and

This Is the principle back of '.the

respects, unique back-to-the-soil move

Cass County, North Dakota, which

ers the country over.
Offsetting the deplorable fact that
many products Of the farm are now
bringing far less than a just return on
the capital and labor necessary to
their production, Is the widespread un-
employment of the country. Strong,
healthy men search frantically for
gainfui occupations while families go
poorly-clad and half-starved. This sit
uation. so apparent to even the most
casual observer, has given rise to
much deep thought on the farm and
labor problems, none of 1t more pro-
ductive of promising results than the
plan evolved when the farmers OF the
Red River valley in eastern North
Dakota called into a series Of confer
ences their friends and neighbors, the
business men Of the towns, and "got
down to brass tacks.''
IF we produce foodstuffs for which
there is constant steady demand, !"
these wheat-beit agriculturists reas-
oned, land at the same time create
more work in the world to which the
unemployed can turn their attention
and effort, then we are killing two
birds with one stone"
Because never-failing market would
be the salvation Of every tiller of the
soil, and, obviously, more work to be
done would reduce the number of un-
employed. Reasoning further, the more
persons gainfully employed, the more
money there is to spend for foodstuffs,
and the better the market for farm
products.
The upshot of it all has been a de-
termination of these so-called bonanza
farmers in the great Bread Basket Of
the World along the Red River of the
North to largely abandon the wheat
and small-grain farming which, in the
earlier days, was done on such a mag
nfficent scale. Instead, they will turn
their attention to more intensified agri-
culture, raising garden truck and dairy
products. Such step will, of course,
materially reduce the size of these

Oregon Employment institution
for the Blind, were cleared Of all
blame in connection with the in
ternal dissension that was alleged

eording to a report filed with the

day The report was prepared by
q special committee appointed By

composed Of Mabel B. Kerr, Grace

trouble In the institution was due
TO the activities OF several inmates
AMI recommendation was made
that five Of their number be dis
missed These include Charles J.
Bishop, o, L. Johnson, ELLEN ST.
verson. Charles West and Sylyes-

The Investigation had its origin
when the board Of control resolved
from various inmates Of the insti-
tuition complaints indicating that
Mr. and Mrs Myers were arbi-
trAry and naughty and were no,
conducting the plant In manner
hefitting their positions.
Myers first was called before
the board Of control. and on being
faced with the charges he alleged
that Bishop and Johnson were re-
sponsible for practically all Of the
trouble. He also took occasion to
criticize Miss Siyerson because OF
her conduct.
Myers later ordered johnson
and Bishop to leave the institu-
tion, but they refused. Their ar
rest followed and they spent 9
night Ia the city iatl In Portland.
The men subsequently, were re-
leased from custody by the muai-
eipal judge for lack Of Jurisdiction
ot his court They then returned
TO the institution. the report Of |
the committee said. and have srnoe |
made their home there IN defiance
Of the superintendent.
