FROM SEWER IN ALLEY
Driver Tries for Half Hour to Keep
Animal From Sinking Beneath
Pavement Surface.

A gray horse, which slipped into an
alley sewer of M street near Ninth street
yesterday afternoon was rescued by the
Fire Rescue Squad after his driver had
chung about his neck for nearly 30
minutes to prevent him from. sinking
beneath the surface OF the pavement.
Ernest Green, colored, of 48l L street
southwest, was driving his trash cart
through the alley when the grating over
the sewer tilted under the feet Of the
horse and plunged his hind quarters
into the conduit.
Green leaped from the wagon and
grabbed his horse about the neck as the
animal sought TO regain his footing
with only his f6relegs and shoulders
out Of the hole.
Neighbors telephoned for the rescue
squad. A block and tackle was hung
high on o nearby telephone pole, and
dobbin was hoisted out.
Police said the grating apparently
had been tempered with and was loose
IN its fittings when the horse started
across.

Diversified Farming-How to Get 1t

Valley Press Association at its last meetinqi went on
record in favor Of a campaign to VI bring home to Valley
farmers the value of diversified farming operations in
this section.
Previous to the meeting of the press association at
which such action was taken, at least three banks in the
Valley had come out with large advertisements in their
local papers, advocating that the farmer indulge in a
more diversified effort, and calling attention to the COW,
sow and hen triligy.
One thing should be kept in mind by everybody who
takes it upon himself to advise the farmer.
The farmer owns the ground, pays for the seed. does
a considerable portion Of the work, and pays the labor
which does the work he does not do himself. He is run
ming his own business, and undoubtedly gets more advice
on how to run that business than does any operator i'm
any other line of business, unless il be the publisher Of a
newspaper!
Newspapers and bankers have apparently united to
advise the farmer to diversity.
And yet, newspapers and bankers, more than any
two classes of business in the Valley, have been respon-
sible for more farmers "plunging' on various crop com
modities than all the farmers and other business men in
the Valley combined.
Newspapers have been responsible because they
have, without exception, published stories, perhaps true
stories, Of exceptional profits made BY some individual
farmer in exceptional years under exceptional circum-
stances, leaving the casual reader to believe that such
profits are the usual thing in Valley farming operations.
On the other hand, banks of the Valley have
financed farmers in their years operations, knowing full
well that the scheme of operations as outlined by the
farmers they were financing, was economically unsound.
It would be interesting to know just how many of our
Valley banks in making loans have demanded of the
farmer the same sort of a financial statement they would
demand Of a business man applying for a loan.
1t would be still more interesting to know how many
of our Valley banks have insisted that farmers to whom
they loan money should have cows and chickens on the
place.
Similar demands are made Of business men seeking
loans for their business and could be made with just as
much propriety from a farmer.
Vo,, corro4 1oo;Io+o 49,, o,,o4 ,r,o ou-ou. ;~4o
doing anything. The cold voice of reason, however, can
give advice which will in most cases be taken, and taken
gladly.
Valley farmers, most Of them would be glad to d-
versify if the way to diversification were pointed out TO
them, and Valley bankers and Valley newspapers, BY
showing how to get the money to diversity and BY telling
along what lines to diversity, can help the good work
along.
