FARMER ENTITLED TO HOME
MARKET
(Mille Laos County Times)


The recent convention of the Ma
tional Grange came out in a ~resolu-
ton demanding that as long as the
tariff protective system prevails in
this country that the American farm
er is entitled to the home market
and should not have his interests
traded off with foreign countries tt
aid industrial corporations of this
country, in the guise of reciprocal
trade agreements" The resolution Of
the Grange is as follows:
Whereas. it appears likely that
Congress may re-enact legislation
authorizing the Department of
State to enter into reciprocal
trade agreements with other ma
tions, which authority expires on
June ~, 1897; therefore be it
Resolved, that while we favor
any extension of foreign trade
which is advantageous to our peO-
pie, we are persuaded that so
long as the protective system pre-
walls, the American farmer is en-
titled to the American market so
far as he is able to supply the
demand; and be it further
Resolved, that in the event of
the renewal of this act, trade
treaties with other nations should
be ratified by the United States
Senate before taking effect, but
such treaties should not contain
the unconditional, Most-Favored-
Nation clause, under which policy

MarigOldS Lose b. o.

For the first time in horticultural
history, the lowly marigold, one of
Americas easiest-to-grow ANIMALS, is
ready to bid for recognition among
the social set of flowers
This plant, which will grow equally
as well in the Southwest, with it's
long, dry summers, or in the New
England states, where the hot, sun
shiny season is comparatively brief,
has been given a thorough scientific
workingOver during the last four
years. It's rank body odor," always
barrier to social acceptance, has
been absolutely removed. The plant
has been made straighter, stronger,
and the flowers sweet-scented, and
it has been given a truly royal head
gear.
The cOming-Out party for this new
type marigold will be in January,
1897, at which time David Burpee, of
Philadelphia, will announce to the
gardening public that plans may be
made to plant these Odorless mari
COLDS in profusion in the spring flow
err beds.
Collarette Marigold, Crown of Gold,
is the notwithstanding name of
this most recent annual, developed on
Burpees FlOradale exr erimental
farms in Santa Barbara County, Cali
fornia.
1t required four years of the most
inc, fob
the development of a scrawny, wild
marigold from Central China, to turn
the trick. But it's heredity finally has
been fixed" and it's now ready to
create new interest in the lives of
all flower-lOvers
Successful development of the Col
larette" Marigol6 was revealed in an
exclusive interview with David Bur-
pee at the fifty-ninth annual conven-
ton of the American Seed Trade AS
ISOLATION, in Dallas, Texas. Burpee,
director of the scientific investigation
that resulted in his latest brain
child" described it as being absolute
ly devoid of the Extensively rank vege-
table Odor usually associated with
these plants.
Its much bigger and sturdier than
it's wild ancestor from ASIA" Burpee,
cousin of the Late Luther Burbank,
explained. ct flowers earlier and
has a distinct, pleasant odor absent
in other varieties. The Collarette
Marigold is distinguished by a crown
or center formation of incurred petals
similar to. that of the chrysanthe-
num-" Burpee continued. This
crown is surrounded by a collarette
of broad petals of the same golden
orange color as the remainder of the
flower"
Burpee, whose enthusiasm for any,
thing connected with producing flow
erS or vegetables is unbOunded, told
a narrative of thrilling adventures
that occurred during the four years
he was attempting to develop the new
marigOld:
I'VE never bother with the trivial
or unimportant on our experimental
farms, so, when we decided to de-
velOp marigold free from the foliage

Editor Askov American:
The daily statement of the United
States Treasury of November 30, 1886,
reveals some very interesting figures.
Interest on the public debt is the
largest single item of general eXpen-
ditures, and amounts to the huge sum
of 1892, 77S,341.O9 for the five months
from June 80 to November 80. This
is nearly 1913 million dollars more
than for the same period last year.
During this same period, the war
veterans, who suffered the anguish
and torture of active service on the
battle fronts during the war, received
s241 1872 1885, or 211a million dol
lars less than the amount of unearned
tribute paid to the money lords, under
the guise of interest, on fictitious
loans of money that never did exist.
1t is hard to understand why any
government should issue interest-bs ar
ing tax-exempt bonds and thus enable
few greedy money manipulators to
exact untold billions of dollars in un-
earned tribute (called interest) from
the meager earnings of the tOiling
masses who produce the wealth of
tie nation.
Enveigling congress into issuing in
terest-bearing taX-eXempt bonds is the
insidious method used by the money
manipulatorS to cunningly deceive the
people, and thereby ensnare them
into a state of economic slavery which
has become so acute that in many re-
spects it is worse and more treacher-
Gus than the slavery endured by the
blacks in pre-Civil war days.
Now is the time for America to free
itself from this injustice of mortgage
ing our children and our children's
children to the money changers in
exchange for relief order, or a three
day-a-week job on a government hit
or-miss project.
Now is the time for the toiling
masses to get into actiOn-with the
pen, before the impending crisis
breaks, and the use of the sword be-
comes imminent.
Congress cOnvenes in January, and
everyone who is interested in tie
welfare of their children and the
welfare of future generations to come
should write to their congressman
and their United States senators,
and demand the enactment of laws
that will provide for the issuance of
currency full legal tender money! in
stead of interest-bearing, taX-eXempt,
economic slavery bonds.
Do it today while it is fresh on your
mind.

Equality for all, regardless of race
color or creed, and the wiping out of
all borders between nations by mutual

problem.
Remove war from the world by re-

From COmrade James N. Ball of
Barlow, Florida, we learn about a
railroad lawyer who had been invited
to address convention of dairy-cattle
men. While awaiting his turn on the
program, he listened to several talks
about fancy breeds of cattle. When
finally introduced, he opened his talk
by saying:
I'm afraid | know nothing of all
these fancy breeds you gentlemen
have been discussing. However, in
my experience as attorney for a rail
road company, | have found the high
est-priced critter in the world is the
offspring of a common COW crossed by
locomotive"

She was small, frail thing, about
seventeen.
Who said it. And the grocer bowed
and smiled.
She took the new years calendar and
turned
To go. | touched my hat, said: par

me, friend,
How can you know what sort the

She looked at me. What was there

we didn't want to mate We finally
solved the problem by covering the
plants with little muslin tents, and
doing the pollination with cancels
hair brushes"
Finally, well along during the last
year, Burpee and his trio of excited
assistants. who had worked unceas-
lngly on the marigold project from the
beginning, achieved their goal. They
had given the new plant ample op-
portunity to breed OUT and show
what was in its blood" Hell edity
or flower had become fixed, and the
new Collarette Marigold, Crown of
Gold, was ready with its perfume and
beauty for the gardens and table
centers of America.
AS the old year draws near it's end
We-mOSt of uS-make resolutions
for the new year. We make them on
how to manage our business our fam
lilies, ourselves, perhaps our friends.
Why, then, do we not make garden
resolutions?
For this year of garden grace, 1897,
be it resolved:
1. To keep in mind that gardening
is for pleasure, recreation, and re-
creation. In closing the garden gate,
the gardener may shut out the prob
lens, worries, and annoyances of daily
routine and yield himself to the slow,
healing rhythm of earth. Let me
make the most of this and store up
serenity enough to offset the complex
tiles of life.
Happy New Year.

She paused in quiet thought, as if to
think
Just how to tell; whether to tell at all
And then she spoke. Her words keep
haunting me.
She laughed, II am no prophet, that
is true.
But STILL" she said, 81 know that
years are days,
And only days. So all / have to dc
To make so long time all beautiful
Is just to take one day and make it so
And then another, till the year is
gone!"
To her it is a simple thing like that!
Why can't | have lovely year my
self?

never seem to tire, it is said that
Cleopatra and her pals kept their
