CUT PUBLIC WASTE
BOrah's Advice to KoOtsnai
County Farmers.

A number OF Rathdrum citizens
were at Ceur dAlene last Saturday
afternoon to hear Senator Borah's
speech at the Kootcnai county
farmers union meeting. Accord
ing to newspaper reports Senator
Borah declared that agricultural
prosperity would not remain in
America unless the European
markets we're opened. Thereupon
he called for the recognition :sof
Russia and settlement of the Ruhr
invasion, suggesting that the
United States might cancel the
European debts, especially to
France, as contribution toward
European disarmament, peacesand
markets. This argument brought
frequent applause from about one
third of the gathering.
Prohibition is safe, despite a
growing attack, the senator empha-
sized in an interview before his
speech. He said the republican
aud democratic parties would
nominate dry candidates for prcsi-
dent, repeating that there ''is an
attack upon prohibition, but they
are not going to win out"
Before taking up European
troubles, Senator Borah warned
the farmers that they must organ
ize for marketing. He advised
them to work up public senti-
ment against governmental extra
vagance, cautioning that high tax
alton has been the most RESPONSE
Die for revolutions, wars and the
death OF free governments.
Replying to questions from the
audience, Senator Borah said:
"The league of nations IS still
dead" He added that since the
league was formed "there have
been 23 wars by members Of TIE
league" He took about 10 minutes
to whack Woodrow Wilson fer
"not for what he went to France
but for what he brought back"
He was questioned on the
soldier bonus and declared in favor
of taking care of the disabled, but
a cash bonus to the 'sun-
scathcd." He said if he wcrcst
returned soldier he would be
prouder Of having fought Ior
loyalty than for the miserable
5000 Of Hessian pay upon my
service" adding that "Commander
Owsley can't attack me long
enough to change nay position. .
Preceding his speech Senator
Borab talked national politics, say
ing that Harding will be renomi-
mated without opposition" and that
the republican party twill have
hard fight all around" He quail
fed, however, by saying 81 do not
necessarily mean losing fight"
Senator Borah reiterated. opinions
in Spokane last fall and
in Chicago last week that there
would be no third national political
party.

of manure, a shorter rotation may be |
followed, the manure taking the place
of the hay. But really it is mistake |
to try to grow potatoes oftener than !
one year in three on the same land. |
Some have tried rotation of grain and |
potatoes or potatoes, beets and grain |
but such a system of cropping does |
not add to the fertility of the land, |
nor does it provide for the unlocking |
of unavailable plant foods. Any sane
system of crop rotation must add nj
trogen as does clover. or alfalfa and
vegetable matter as does these same
crops or manure. 1t is not necessary
to grow beets in potato rotations but
this crop is simply suggested as an
other profitable cultivated crop for
the farmer. Grow beans, tomatoes,
onions or what you like so long as the
rotation meets the two main points,
nitrogen accumulation and the addi-
tion of vegetable matter.
Better seed shares with proper crop
ping systems the responsibility of
! making potato grow profitable
Better seed means bigger yields
and higher quality, and these mean
| lower market cost OF production and
ability to meet competition on the
market. Too many growers plant
culls for seed and too many of those
who believe in good seed depend upon
some one to grow it for them. The
latter plan is all right if you know
your seed grower. There are people
who grow potato seed and people who
think they grow potato seed. Every
grower who expects to stay in the po-
tato game should make an effort to
grow his seed at home. Good potato
seed can be grown at low altitude if
properly selected. Secure some good,
clean and pure stock to start with and
plant your seed plot each year with
good large tubers. These are from
productive and disease-free vines. Too
many growers plant small or medium
sized tubers for seed and many of
these come from weak or diseased
vines. Stick to standard varieties and
do not change to something new every
time your neighbor does. Nine out of
| ten of these new varieties are old
varieties renamed solely as a seed
selling scheme.
