A Farmers Investments
T IKE any other business man. the farmer should
conduct his operations with view to realizing
- a profit from his investments, whether they be
in land, implements, animals, or what not.
This is brought to mind by recent agricultural
bulletin which relates the experiences of certain south
cotton farmers, covering LOOT tests of fertzed
crops grown alongside of those not fortified.
These tests were scientifically conducted and ac-
curae records of results kept 1t found that
the application of average of $50 pounds of Chilean
nitrate per increased the yield of cotton to
extent that added $23 per in net profits Figured
another way for every dollar expended for this quick
acting fertilizer increased crop value of $50
obtained.
The same principle applies to many other phases
of farm management. In the long run there is in
creased profit in the of labor-saving machinery,
in the raising of purebred livestock and poultry in
expenditures for the preservation of buildings and
equipment; in fact, in every means whereby any ex-
pendture can be made to yield profitable returns
Intelligently invested, money makes money" in
agriculture as well as in industry.
Dirty Streets
ET'S not rest on our laurels! We have great
1 amount of paving for city of our size but paw
ing on our most important thOrOughfareS should
MT mean total neglect of the others.
Our downtown streets might easily be flushed
from the city MIGRANTS and not only bring about
sanitary condition but clean the water pipes sys
tematicaly and eliminate the spasmodc rolling of the
water supply WELL The outlying streets constitute
constant nuisance during extremely hot and dry
weather and certainly require attention of some sort
preferably oilng daily sprinkling with water.
This condition is doubly true where considerable traf
c is being detoured temporarily various streets

Saturday Night Parking
w 1HY not leave the family car at home, Saturday
w evenings, and allow visitors and shoppers the
opportunity to park near the business district
Dozens of residents of the city make it weekly prac-
tce of hurrying down each Saturday evening in
order to rngsde for the shopping spec
tacle Farmers and other shoppers arriving bit late
forced to seek the alleys and side streets for their
and suffer considerable Inconvenience as a re-
suit We could easily add the comfort of our visit
ors with little consideration of them.
We Agree With Burgess
Jim Landy of the Olivia Times seems to
think that all the Republican editors who sup
ported Christensen in the last campaign for
senator will swing in line for Schall
We don't agree with him for here is one paper

Brother Burgess is an editor with the courage of
his conviction. Would that we had more like him.
