Governor Landon's improvement . s.
When OratOry Blossoms ;. Experts
Win Credit

CHICAGO.-Nothing has given Gov. Alf M
Landon's heutenants more pleasure than tnelr
candidates marked improvement in platform
presence in radio delivery, and in the belligef-
ent nature of his speeches.
His Chicago address the budget found
him in the best oratorical form he has shown
to date. And even some OF AlfS bltterest enc
mics agreed that the speech in its content prob
ably was the most politically effective and best
written message he had yet delivered
Credit should be given where due. The COVER
nor has been under the constant tutelage Of
an expert who travels with him and who seeks
to perfect him in such devices as driving his
points home, stopping TO smile at the right
spots, shaking his fist, pausing at dramatic
points for applause, and clear enunclatlon OF
catch phrases.
The most important author of the speech
was Olin Glenn Saxon, head of the COP.
brain trust" or research division, who has
been concentrating on a study OF federal ex-
penses ever since he and his aides were hired
last spring amid chorus Of outlaws.
Saxon appears to be vindicating the idea
of Henry Fletcher and Finance Chairman w.
B. Bell that the Republicans should have
brain trust, too. Landon has come to like him
and TO trust him.
AT first Saxon was very much on the out
side but more lately has been taken into the
very intimate group which most closely sur
rounds Landon.
This group includes no professional politi-
clans and no men of great wealth. It's members
are in most cases fairly young, congenial, upper
middle-class relatively liberal and often inclin-
ed to resist pressures from eastern groups which
try to dictate what Landon should say and do.
Among them, besides Saxon, are Editor Roy
Roberts of the Kansas City Star, Publisher Jack
Harris of the Hutchinson (Kan) News and
Verne Marshall, editor of the Cedar Rapids
CIa) Gazette.
Here in Chicago the man closest to chairman
Hamilton, and hence of the most powerful
in the campaign machine, is Arthur Ballantine
former assistant secretary Of the treasury under
Ogden Mills and Harvard classmate and rival
OF Roosevelt
And incidentally many suspect that Mills
is one OF the most influential advisers to Lam
don even though he remains in the background.
Probably the most vigorous effort now being
made by Republicans is 10 win back that large
portion OF the Negro vote which most reports
agree is leaning towards Roosevelt. Every
thing that might work to that end is being at
tempted and many offices here are filled with
colored people working on the JOB.
The Negro vote is important factor in
most OF the big doubtful states. Landon's re-
cent reference TO Jesse Owens teven owens
couldn't overtake those soaring federal expenses)
was a carefully planned bow to the colored folk.
So was the candidates declaration for an anti
Anchlng law There will be. more OF the same.

GRASS is STILL
TOPS AS CROP
Grower Maintains it is the
Most Consistent Cash
Producer Here

Asparagus is Kennewick's best
crop asserts w. s. Green, Highland
rancher, Even at cannery prices,
no other crop can offer SO much to
the grower In this section, In his
opinion.
To bear out his contention, MIR.
Green submitted figures. On ten
acre tract planted In 1892 he cut
six hundred pounds per acre in
1894. The second year Of cutting
the production ran from 100 to
1000 pounds per acre, while the
third year, production rose to 2K
ton per acre and this year he ex-
poets to harvest three tons.
At the cannery price Of 500 per
ton and even considering the $25
per acre harvesting costs, he main
tains that no other crop in the dis
trict can make the consistent money
year after gear. Growers here have
harvested six tons to the acre, It is
pointed out, and Mr.. Green sees no
reason why his production will fall
far under those figures when the
patch reaches maturity.
At any rate, Mr. Green is SO con-
fident of the value Of the crop that
he has added each year to his new
paintings and expects In the near
future to have one Of the largest
asparagus patches In the entire
state.

The unprecedented low water in

Mary Gail from making the final
stage in its trip from Portland TO
its new dock at Alfalfa. The boat
successfully made the trip as far as
Umatilla, where IL was unable TO
get over the rapids. At that, IL is
claimed, the boat would have made
the trip had IL not been uneyenly
loaded. ...-..-.

cessfully through all the rapids in
the river except the shoaling at Dey-

said the journey could have been

the barge was loaded to depth Of

Plans for the construction Of four
more steel barges and tug TO be

ed. Construction is to be started
Immediately.
The new equipment, like that al

Mr.. Muldrow is project manager

Sugar beets," Mr.. Muldrow con-
tinued, "offer quite little to our

been listed as a conservation crop
and are entitled to 40 cents per ton
farm subsidy; they can be raised on
land which is no longer fit for spuds
because of wire worm infestation.
I'm addition to the cash value of
the crop, considerable acreage in
beets would relieve the early spud
situation, Throughout the valley,
making It better thus for the spud
raiser, too," he said.
1T seems quite likely that this
district can produce fully as many
beets as the upper valley where $50
to 500 per acre net returns were
not uncommon this year, when the
prices have been rather low on the
whole" he said. "Beets are not like
hay, they take nothing from the soil,
but on the contrary have an in
fluence toward building up the soil
because of the feed value of the
residue from the beet crop.
ITO get the most value from the
beet idustry feeding projects should
be included. In southern Idaho
where beets have been raised ex-
tensively, no more hay is being
shipped out, feeder cattle and sheep
