In years of unusual rainfall and favora ble seasons almost any kind of eo'called farming will get a crop of some kind, so productive is the soil, but it should be re membered that those are unus ual j-ears, and provision mu&i be made to guard against the years in which the precipita tion is slight and the seasons jiot so favorable or the farmer's work is lost. In years of long-continued .drouth like the present it is easy to distinguish between the land which has' been cultivated .carefully and in a systematic ,manner, and the field which has been farmed in(a slipshod man ner. The difference will be more apparent at harvest time, -in the returns of the respective .ownerB for their year's work. At present the outlook is none too encouragiug in this section for au average, crop, but ,-on summer-fallow lands this ..condition is not due to lack of moisture, but rather to the ex tremeh' cold Spring, and wauu weather will soon bring those crops out. Grain "stubbled in." however, is suffering from the drouth as well as from cold weather, and the outlook is not as bright as it' might be. The worst of it is that when crops fail as a result of poor farming, the Teport goes out that there has been a failure of crops in this section, and the whole district gets a set back. The farmers of this section are finding out, through costly ex perience, that the cultivation of their land to conserve the moist ure is the most important factor in securing a good crop. And not until that method of farm ing becomes general through out the district will this section come into its own. 1 which were made as of last March. If the single-tax amend ment is adopted in June it will exempt from, taxation large fraoup.11 (if the 'property which has been assessed. Unless tho Boards of Equalization increase tho rates on the property not exempt there will be a heavy decliit, If the' do inorease the rate, all the present injustice of which the single tnxers so lond I3' complain will be, intensified.

It poiFons felicity, kills peace, ruins morals, blights confidence, slays reputation, and wipes out national honor, then curses the world and laughs nt its ruin.' It does all that and more. It murders the soul. It is the sum of all villanies, thu father of all crimes, the mother of nil abominations, the devil's best friend, ami God's worst enemy.

It has never occurred to what they call their minds that the introduction of their beautiful illusion would throw the administration of the finances of the state into confus ion. If it had occurred to them they would have thrust the thought aside as of no conse quence. But to ordinary men who have to pay taxes and who have something nt stake in soci ery, it is rather unpleasant to think that a constitutional amendment is pending which will make chaos of our finances ifit carries.

I am aware that there is a prejudice against any man who manufactuies al cohol. J believe that from the time it issues from the ciled and poisonous worm in the distillery until it empties into the jaws of death, dishonor and crime it demoralizes everybody that touches it from its source to where it ends. I do not believe anybody can contemplate the object without being prejudiced against the liquor crimo. All we have to do, gentlemen, is to think of the wrecks on either bank of the stream of death ; of tho suicides, of the insanity, of the ignorance, of tho destitution, of the little children tugging at the faded and withering breast of weeping nnd despairing mothers, of wives asking for bread, of tho men of genius it has wrecked, the men struggling with imag inary serpents, produced by the devilish thing; and when you think of tho jails, of tho almshouses, of the asylums, of the prisons, of the scaffolds upon either bank, I do not wonder thnt every thoughtful man lb prejudiced against tins damned etulr called "alcohol."
