Every One Ought to Own a
Piece of Cultivated Land
By THOMAS A. EDISON
aw u.u n,,r.uT Tft HAVE AN ACRE OP LAND, WITH
THREE-QUARTERS OF IT DEVOTED TO INTENSIVE CUU
L W TIVATION OF GARDEN TRUCK. THIS WOULD PROVIDE
SUFFICIENT FOOD AND MAKE THE OWNER INDEPEND
ENT. THIS IS MY IDEAL OF CIVILIZATION.
I woul.l have poople live on small farms nw of surroun.linff
tknnKclvo with artificial urban conditions. In Austria one finds none
of the snoial unrest that exists in many otlir countries, for Anstrii
is an agricultural country. There the balance between the city an.
eountrv is nt dest roved, ns in America, where the CITIES AIM'
OVKlicKOWDED TO THE DKTUIMKXT OF THE RUHAI
DISTRICTS.
Put nvrn Austria is behind the times, nnd ncrriculture is nrimitiv
till. I when I was there only two American mowers in the whole
Tyn.l. The Anstrians need the quickening of the spirit which edne;
tion civc. The peasants are healthy and stroii;, but dull eyed an
low. S.-lio.i nre Austria's preatest need.

WOULD RESIST THE
IRRIGATION PLANS
A recent Hood River dixpateli to
t lie Oregon Journal iy:
That the F.itxt Side Irrigation
('onian.v will be required to face the
Iwhue of water righto If an attempt In
lumle to take more water from the
eimt fork of Mood river under the
iiliiu- of n biiuded dUtrU-t, as wan
voted at a recent nii-etlnj,;. U appar
cut frotu the uttltude the Oieicon
Luinlter t'ompnuy him taken. The
euKt tde eoinpauy's plan Ik to create
a bonded dlrttrK t to take over the
Hone plant and provide water to
Irrigate the 1:1,000 acre that will be
Included In the new dltttrlct.
1'hnrles T. Karl j, general manager
of tke Oregon Lumber Company,
clalniii prior right to the water,
however. He says:
"Ah a matter of fact we are lotting
an average of about two ho um each
day ns the renult of limutliclent
water with which to opernte the
lumber plant at IVe, and we will
not unbuilt to a further curtailing of
our power. We have our own en pi
tal Invented and are upending S.'iOO
per day to keep the plant In opera
lion. We have no (lenlre to antago
nize the larmerrt, but uiuxt protect
our own rlglitx."
('. K. Hoik , who orlgnlnnlly eon
Htructed the ditch and wan the
owner and manager of t he Irrigation
Win t for a number of .yearn, wald:
There nee in a to be a mlHtaken Idea
about the amount of water that
will lie required to Irrigate the cant
Hide Hectloii that will fall under the
bonded illxtrlct. In cane the dlxtrlct
l created im the directors of the pies
ent company contemplate. We are
now taking I'lNM) inches from the east

'ondltlon of the nyntem, permitting

il.iimed by the l.onded illntrict Ih to
iilace the prenent main canal In Its
In nt poHnlble nhape and to rebuild
and count met new laterals that will
render t lie liighent efficiency In con
serving the water now appropriated.

HE PROVED IT.
One southwestern Iowa apple grower
has demonstrated the mlsHlon of bees
as fertilizers of apple blossoms to his
own entire satisfaction. Just as his
orchnrd came Into bloom taut spring be
tied sinnll paper nacks over some 200
blosnom clusters In dlffereut prtrts of
Iris orchnrd. A" soon as the petals bad
fallen he replaced the paper sacks with
mosquito nettlns. so that the cluster
might h.ive prnier ventilntion. yet t
kept fr nil the visits of liees and other
Inneets. Am t tie sean iidxauced not a
Bingle iiii!i developed in iinv of the
cluster-i w I h were shielded In ths
hIiovc mriiner It I because of the
fa i t inndc plain in this exerimeut that
the pn-M-ii e of hives of lxe In or near
an of hard Is considered so beneficial.
FISH IN STAGNANT PONDS.
There have been dispatches in the
daily papers of late telling of the plan
of riiili'oad ofliclals of putting gold nnd
other small fish Into stagnant pools
along tlielr rights of way. the Idea be
ing that the fish will devour the wig-
Biers which Inter turn into mosqui
toes. This scheme sounds good on pa
per, hut unless the llsh which are lo be
used for the purpose nre different from
any fish the writer knows about they
will nil be dead Inside of thirty-six
hours unless these ponds hnve fresh
water flowing Into them. There Is no
question about the fish devouring ths
mosquito larvae If they can be kept
alive
LEGUMES FOR THE ORCHARD.
In the valley In which the writer's
rancrJ Is located, owing to the dry sum
mers during which period the clean till
age system Is followed. It Is desirable
to sow o leguminous cover crop In ths
fall about the time the rainy season
sets In. This not only serves as a soli
renovator, but when plowpd under In
the spring ndds to the soil humus, an
element In which nil too ninny western
orchard soils nre lacking. Besides this,
the heavy growth of the legume, which
continues through the winter owing to
the mild cllmnte. tends to check ths
wash of tlie soil by the henvy ruins.

Buy I H C Wagons for True Economy
YOU cannot farm without a wapon any
more than you can keep house without a
stove. You usa your wagon every day
and work it harder than anything else on the
farm.
Buy a wagon that lasts longer than the aver
age. It i3 an easy thing to do, even though
all wagons which are painted alike may look
alike. The difference in wagons is underneath
the paint. It is the material and workman
ship entering into the construction of I II C
wagons,
Weber New Bettendorf Steel King
which make them the best wagon investment.
We tell you how our wagons are built, and
we want every purchaser to convince himself
before buying, that when I II C wagons are
advertised as having oak hubs, hickory axles,
and long leaf yellow pine box bottoms, these
are the materials actually used.
When an I II C wagon reaches a fanner's
barn, that farmer has one of the best wearing,
easiest running farm wagons that skilled labor
can make or that money can buy. There is
no need to speculate in buying a wagon.
I H C wagons are made for nation-wide uses,
with special features adapted to local condi
tions. Weber wagons have wood gears. New
liettendorf and Steel King have steel gears.
The I II C wagon dealer in your town sells
the wagon best suited to your neighborhood.
Ask him for I II C wagon literature, or write
