CONniTIONS IN COLORADO TODAY
After 19 Years of Women Voting
It was in the year 1893 that
Woman Suffrage was granted in
Colorado. For 19 years the Suff
ragists have used this state as a
sample oi goou government
brought about by the woman's
vote. The anti-suffragists ask
the men of Oregon to read the
words of a Colorado woman one
who has been and now is politic
ally prominent. She tells of the
conditions of politics in her state
today.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cass Goddard
of Colorado a former ardentsuff
ragiBt, has held the following
offices, namly delegate to city
and state conventions, Deputy
Sherriff, watcher at the polls,
and member of the Republican
state committee from state
organizations. For example:
Vice-President for Colorado of
the Mother's Congress, 2nd Vice
President of the Y. W. C. A. of
Colorado Springs, 1st Vice-Pres
ident of the Boys Club, Trustee
of tho City Federation of
Woman's Clubs, President of the
Humane Socity, only woman
member of the Anti-Tuberculosis
committee of Colorado Springs
and President of the Colonial
Dames of Colorado. We wish to
quote from a letter written by
Mrs. Gcddard to a member of
the board of the anti-suffrage
association of Portland. She
says in part: " I am in a peculiar
position, for while I disapprove
most emphatically of equal
suffrage, and while I have yet to
see one good result from it,
while the women of Colorado
have the responsibility I must
do my part toward trying to make
matters better. Rut I frankly
psay I do not see how this can be
accomplished. It certainly has
not yielded any such results up
to this date. We have no clean
er politics, no purer politicians,
no less graft, no better laws for
women and children than Mass
achusctts has, and in spite of the
often repeated assertions of the
Suffragists, not one of the laws
we have is the result of the votes
of woman. As far as this goes
the influence of women outside
the Suffrage is better than with
the exercise of it. I have found
the professional Suffragist or
politician hard, aggressive, loud
jn voice and manner and ready
to antagonize any one to carry
her point It is not with her an
"appeal to reason" but an ap
peal to sentiment, to passion,
and to fancied wrong done to
women. There is very little now
to say to the subject excepting
that my observations has only
intensified my feeling on. the
subject. The better class of
women do not want to vote. It
is hard for mo to induce them to
qome to the polls, when any stir
ring question comes up, and on
ordinary matters they neither
feel nor oven pretend too feel
any interest."
Judging from the conditions
ns theV now stand in Colorado,
do we honestly feel that tho
women's vote will better our
state of Oregon?

Opposed To Tho Extention Of
The Suffrage To Women.
Mrs. Francis James Bailey.
Prea. Pd adv-
That the scientific methods of
farming followed at the three
Eastern Oregon branch experi
ment stations are extremely prac
tical and have been as largely re
sponsible as have been the un
usually favorable weather condit
ions, for tho splendid showing
made this year by station crops,
is the opinion of Professor H. D.
Scudder, of Oregon Agricultural
College, who has just returned
from a trip of inspection cover
ing the experiment stations in
Sherman, Crook and Harney
counties.
The evidence upon which Pro
fessor Scudder bases his op
inion is the fact that the crops
raised at the experimental Btat
ions, under direction of- the col
lege experts, yielded, on the aver
age, 20 to 30 per cent larger crops
than have been taken this season
from other fields in the same
localities.
Processor Scudder reports that
Eastern Oregon farmers are hav
mg such success with corn, field
peas, alfalfa and Turkey Red
wheat as to indicate a promising
future for these crops in the dry
farming belt.
"Five years ago," said Pro
fessor Scudder, "it was claimed
that these crops could not be
grown profitably in this section
of Oregon, although the college
agronomists emphasized them as
being of the greatest future im
portance in the development of
dry farming. The response of
the farmers to these ideas has,
in the last few years, been grow
ing stronger and now in several
counties, notably in Sherman and
Crook counties, more than half
of the acreage of wheat now
grown is the Turkey Red variety
and on the branch experiment
station farm at Moro this variety
has consistently proved a super
ior yielder over the many variet
ies tried.
"Corn growing, both for grain
and as a forage crop, has been
very successful on the collese
farms at Moro, Metolius and Red
mond, which fact proves the
corn cro p to be a valuablle one
for the dry farmer to raise. The
success of this crop is especially
pie asing to the college authorities
as the variety that has proved
superior to all others is a" college
bred corn nitroduced throughout
tho state. Hundreds of farmers
not only in Eastern Oregon, are
now growing this variety from
seed obtained from the depart
ment of agronomy and find it
superior to all others.
"An equally important success
has been obtained in the demon
stration of the value of field peas
in the dry farming belt and the
success with which they have
been grown. The stations at'
Moro and Metolius have obtained
even better results than were ex
pected from this crop, both for
the poduc tion of seed, hay and
for pork production. Pigs pas
tured on nothing but, field peas,
both at Moro and Metolius, gave
returns in pork of from $12 to
$18 for each acre of peas. This
makes the pea crop superior as
a rffbney producer to wheat, as
there is no cost for harvesting
the crop and, more important
still, the fertility of the soil is
increased instead of depleted.
In some instances an even
greater profit was obtained where
the crop was harvested for the
seed. The brown field pea intro
duced at the Moro experiment
station has proved far superior to
all other varieties and will be
multiplied as rapidly as possible
for distribution."
The greatest success of all in
the dry farming work and the
one- most gratifying is that
obtanied at Moro, Metolius and
Burns experiment stations with
alfalfa grown in cultivated rows
for seed production. This crop
grown in particular way has been
given wide advocacy by Professor
Scudder, and the results now be
ing obtained more than justify
the attitude of the college author
ities on this question. One vari
ety introduced from the Dakotas
by Professor Scudder has proved
superior to aH others obtained or
grown locally-superior not only m
draught resistance, but more es
pecially in resistance to frost and
in seed production. It is probabe
that former estimates of possible
profits of $20 an acre annually
from the alfalfa seed crop wil
be considerably exceeded. The
seed produced in this way is not
only of exceptional value on ac
count of its environment but also
because of the unusual hardiness
and vigor of the new variety
from which it is being obtained
This crop has already demon
strated ltpeii a much superior
profit maker to the wheat crop.
as well as being a soil builder
instead of a soil destroyer. At
Moro this year yields of more
than one ton of hay to the acre
were also obtained from the
alfalfa and it is expected by im
provement of methods to obtain
as high as one and one-half tons
of hay.
Another feature of the branch
experiment station work which
has loomed up this year very pro
minently isi he superior yield and
quality obtained from certain
varieties of potatoes introduced
into Sherman and Crook counties
by the college.
The potato crop on the dry
farming land is always one of un
usual quality, and with the better
varieties being developed by the
experiment stations will also
prove a profitable crop.
With the success obtained so
far with corn, potatoes, field
peas and alfalfa as crops with
which to replace wheat, the
college authorities feel that they
have amply demonstrated at the
branch stations the greater pro
fits that may be obtained from
more intensive methods of farm
ing where these crops are used
in rotation with wheat. The
greatest result obtained from
such a system is the improve
ment and permanent mainten
ance of the fertility of the soil.
