Catalonia or the catalan prov
inces," have been referred to fire.
quently as SPANS Ireland.
It's people have enjoyed independ-
ence IN their time and never have
admitted that they were Spanish.
On racial grounds they nave consid-
cradle justification for their claim.
Their language differs from Castilian
an din appearance and temperament
the Galatians are very unlike the in
habitants of the rest of Spain.
In particular they are Industrious
and enterprising and between their
busting capital, Barcelona, one of
the busiest manufacturing and COM
mercial cities in Europe, and such
sleepy centers as Madrid the con-
trast is as marked as between Chi
cage and any overgrown Podunk.
In what grows out of this, rather
than because of any sentimental
wisl. for a separate national life, is
to be found the reason for the Cata-
Ian ~separationist movement. Being
the great producing section of the
country, Catalonia pays the bulk OF
the ta2es-but Madrid spends them.
In fact, in the Galatians opinion,
Madrid throws them away. They
object to supporting the rest of
Spain.
For this waste as Catalonia sees
it, the Spanish war in Morocco is
mainly responsible. When the war
lags, so does the separationist
movement. When there's a fresh
outburst of war activity, separation
list activities revive.
In 1909 there was a tremendous
revolt in Barcelona against continu-
alton of the war. Premier Maura
put it down with heavy slaughter,
but discomfort has simmered ever
since.
The spread of discomfort from Bar
celona first of all to Bilbao, though
geographically in the nature of a
jumy completely across Spain. in
reality was quite natural. Bilbao be-
ing the center of the national fuel
industry, jus tas Barcelona is the
industrial center of the country. Bill
bao, like Barcelona, has long been
the Gene of much labor restlessness.

TEXAS FARMERS FIND PROFIT
IN BUDDING NATIVE PECANS

Four hundred general farmers, in
two days, budded $4,000 native pecan
trees from improved stock, this
spring, In Gillespie County, Texas, ac-
cording to reports to the United
States Department of Agriculture, ~
a result of agricultural extension
work.
Attention was called to the oppor-
tunity offered in the abundant native
pecan trees Of the county, some fve
years ago, by farmer agricultural
extension agent who demonstrated
budding practices on several farms.
About 400 budded trees are now pro-
ducing pecans Of highest quality.
Whom extension work was resumed
in the county In 1922 the development
of the pecan industry was chosen as
a prominent feature Of the extension
program. Many community gather
ings were held to discuss the possi-
bilities of the industry and particu-
larly to acquaint farmers Of the coun-
ty with methods of acquiring I'M
proved stock. Local leaders were
chosen from each community who
were thoroughly drilled in selecting
good native trees and setting the
buds. These local leaders In turn
carefully instructed those OF their
neighbors who desired to engage IN
pecan growing, using ordinary buds
for practice.
A department representative who
visited the county in July reports
over so per cent Of the new stock
The interest Of the entire
has been aroused and the
are being continued.

COOPERATIVE EGG MARKETING

The farm poultry flock has been
made a source Of cash income as well
as Of food for the family by many
farm women who have learned from
their agricultural extension agents
the best methods Of poultry manage
ment and preparation Of products for
market. The experience Of the wo-
men of Fairhaven tGa.) community,
is typical of the work in many states.
These farm women, desiring to i'm
prove the earnings Of their fiocks,
brought eggs to the weekly meeting
of the extension club, where the
ome-demonstration agent showed
them how to grade and pack properly
for shipment. This was continued
each week until the members were
able to do the work themselves. They
then organized to ship their eggs CO.
secured as customers
grocery store in nearby city, and,
according to reports to the United
States Department of Agriculture,
have been carrying on a satisfactory
business for more than year.
New cooperative egg marketing as
sociations organized in. 1922, accord
ing to reports, handled 100000 dozen
eggs: in 1921 some 400>new organiza-
tions handled about 100000 dozen
eggs

NEW RULING FOR PAROLES


From this time an applicant for
parole from the state prison must
have a definite position in view with
sufficient compensation to support
him, before he be considered Tor
parole, according to the ruling made
by the State Parole Board, Governor
C. G. Moore, Secretary of State F. A.
Jeter and Attorney General A. H.
Conner at the board meeting last
week. Unless this is carefully ad-
hered to the board would be turning
a man out of prison to return 70
either pauperism OF life OF crime.
Only one parole was granted at this
meeting but seventeen other applica-
tions were continued to meeting
October third when they will be re-
considered if the men have fulfilled

men in the prison will bear great
weight in granting paroles and re-
prieves from this time.

AGAINST FOREST
FIRES FAR FROM ADEQUATE

Thirty-nine states contain import
ant areas of forest land, but only 27
have organized state forest protec-
tion on a more or less adequate scale,
says the Forest Service, United States
Department of Agriculture.
Systematic fire protection of pri-
vately owned forest lands is sadly
lacking, according to the department,
which points out that at least 1885,
100000 acres Of such land now re-
ceive no protection and that on many
other areas the protection furnished
is incomplete and inadequate. An
average expenditure Of between 21s
and cents per acre, or total Of
SO ,25O000, would fairly protect all Of
the privately owned forest land IN
the United States. The task is ut
present two-thirds undone.

southeastern counties Of Idaho ar
getting ready to move on Blackfoo
for a grand encampment with tnell
exhibits for the roundup and fair tl
be held September 25, rs and ~
The enterprise is under the leader
ship of district club leader Murray
who finds in this an opportunity tc
show the people of the southeastern
counties that the leadership in agri-
culture and stockraising is right now
passing into the hands OF the people
under the age of twenty.
The boys and girls started with
acre-tracts of beets, spuds and grain
and with calves and pigs, and now
they are going to send their cham
pions to the roundup and fair with
dairy and other exhibits to show that
they are succeeding and are out to
conquer. They will have exhibits OF
pigs, sheep, sewing, canned goods,
and other products Of their own, and
the great unique feature Of the 1923
fair will be that it is put on by the
rising generation showing what they
can do and have done. 1t is not
merely that they can produce, but
that they can and do produce good
types Of high values.
The roundup features will include
all the Indian, cowboy, cowgirl and
wild west stunts that can be arranged
with the performers assembled from
all the round-ups from Pendleton and
Walla Walla on the west to Henry,
Idaho, and Jackson, Wyoming, on the
east. The, heart Of the buckaroo
country Is being combed to find and
engage the rough riders and the
woody west characters for the final
exhibition at the beautiful race course
and grounds of the Southeastern
Idaho Fair at Blackfoot, where the
bucking horses shoot out from under
the grandstand in continuous per-
formance. Besides having the end

races, boys races, girls races, wagon
races, Roman races and chariot races,
there will be the Ford car bucking
race that is a scream from start to
finish and never fails to land the rider
on the prairie. Thousands of dollars
will be distributed in prizes and for
the kiddies seeking fun and frolic
there will be all the ordinary types
of amusements and little airplanes
added for giving them perfectly safe
of airplanes operating
like fairies, but actually sailing IN
the air and carrying real live, laugh
ing boys and girls looking about and
waving ia tas and hoo hoos at their
friends below.
The fair and roundup begins on
Tuesday, the twenty-fifth, and lasts
three days.

FREIGHT RATES AND
COMMODITY PRICES

The head of the Carnegie institute
at Pittsburgh told a gathering Of
New Jersey farmers that if the man
ufacturers of machinery, clothing,
house furnishings and other commo-
dities would reduce prices per cent
this would reduce the farmers ex-
penses as much as a 25 per cent re-
duction In freight rates. So would
reduction Of 1 per cent in interest on
loans.
The trouble with that proposition
is that the freight rates may be re-
duced-possibly-by political pres
sure; commodities and interest not
SO readily.
But that Is consideration the
farmers will ponder very carefully, II
they look to the future. They may be
able to force reduction in freight
rates by using their influence upon
the machinery of regulation, but II
that reduces the efficiency of trans
portation the immediate advantage
will be swallowed up sooner or later,
probably sooner. Regulation, unless
1t Is constructive, unless In the long
run it builds up the railroads. is not
in the farmers interest. AS his po-
litical leaders do not discuss that
much, 1t is up to the farmer. to look
1t up for himself. Just freight rates
should be worked for, but rate that
is inadequate to the carrier Is not
just to the farmer, though he may
think it is until he begins to pay
the price of inadequate service.
