dry farming congress to be held in spokane next october it is almost certain that in a few years there will be a wonderful increase in the area which is cultivated and handled by the dry fanning methods it is only a question of a shot t time when all of the uplands will inevitably be devoted to that tha work the next congress promises to be the most interesting owe semeion ton yet hold bold

the dollar mark and doubtless it is an exaggeration aaion if intended to apply to the whole of the enu country we cannot but believe that patriotism is is still a very potent and beautiful reality with most of the people who would if circumstances should nver make the demand ba as 4 ready as ever their father were to chat leny eny and sacrifice in defence of the country anve fe also believe that in these piping times of peace men as a rule are not so dominated by tho the do lar as to allow money to interfere with their duty to their community state and nation at the same timo time there is altogether too much of the lust of wealth and of the grafting and business dishonesty of which junge howard goward complains probably there is not one of our largo large cities free from tho the corruption of the grafter we know that in some of these those cities the slime of craft covers everything city officials business men contractors and ou other are keown to rob tho the taxpayers of millions of moaby moey every year it is generally admitted that tha from 26 25 to 60 50 per cent of all tho the money raised for public uses is stolen in the shape of graft from the people when one thinks oi ol the immense and steadily growing influence of the cities upon our national institutions and life he re realize alizag how dangerous is the menace and how necessary it is iq that it should be withstood and stricken down it is fortunate that ahe public conscience has awakened to the enormity of chuse evils and that the arrest and conviction of criminals who have robbed tho the people is the result of this moral awakening instructing THE FARMERS thank heaven the time has gone ayat least in utah when farmers held to the opinion that they have nothing more to learn says the herald republican down atA at monroe fonroe last week to hundred country people attended the school conducted under the auspices of the state agricultural college paid their tuition and remained through every ilee iles sion and all over the state these schools are being held with helpful results to the farmers and through them to the I 1 benefit of every interest in the state in the current number of the saturday evening post is an article entitled an acre worth it is one of the few magazine 12 ine articles that should be read by every farmer in the nation it will interest any thinking man no matter what his work but there is more than interest in it for the farmer old or young in the first place the article is hevery word of it il it tells of the old time farmer who believe in books who scorned the notion of paying any attention to the chemical components of his so soil who knew nothing of business principles and who try to learn and then it tells of the farmer of the preci at day who knows about phosphates and farm chemistry generally who mixes brains brain with his soil as whistler advised painters to do with their ir colors who applies sound economic rules to his buo ineas and who is making 25 per cent on his investment which aa within ahr power of no american worker wc excepting epting the fanner farmer these farm schools held at various places in utah teach the farmer bow how to better his income how to increase hi ats I 1 s values how te to make and his family more healthy and more happy the effect of the school is to show old and young that a farm is a pretty rood place to live it lifts the farm out of the derision in which it had ad been held for so many years and by so many people it lt encourages cou rages the boys and girls to stay on the farm because it shows them that they can make more there than elsewhere it is a and thing for the stat ethe best investment the taxpayers of utah make AM the effect of it the whole effect of the agricultural col is to make more move profitable the shorts of the people wath each year ear there is no time limit to the good to bo be gained hemr YZ ae the food of men is to be taken taen from the soil the bori work of ow college and all of these there farm schools A ill III grow more and nw weful as the years go by rf ium aum |
