PUBLIC LANDS CONVENTION.
Denver, Colo., Sept. 28, 29, 30, 1911.
Call by the Governor of Colorado
In compliance with a resolution ol
the Eighteenth General Assembly of
the State of Colorado, I, John P.
Shafroth, governor of said common
wealth, announce I to the people of
"those western states and terrltorlei"
having one million or more acres of
public lands reserved and unre
served within their borders" a pub
lic lands convention to be held in
the city of Denver, Colorado, Septem
ber 28, 20 and 30 of this year, for
the purpose of discussing all ques
Hons, and taking such action as their
wisdom may direct, relative to the
proper administration of the public
domain, the natural resources per
taining thereto, and the practical con
servation thereof under state author
ity and of protesting against congress
enacting laws providing for tbe leas
ing of the natural resources of the
West.
The following states and territories
are embraced within the call, viz:
Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colo
rado, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, Ne
braska, Nevada, New Mexico, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Da
kota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming
and Alaska.
Inasmuch as the province of the
convention is for western people to
determine upon questions pertaining
to the interests of western states as
affected by federal systems, it is
made requisite for qualification that
delegates shall have been resident
taxpayers and voters within their
respective Btates for the preceding
three years.
The governor, senators and con
gressmen, and members of the state
legislature of each state and terrl
tory, and delegate of each territory
and. of Alaska, are hereby commis
sioned as delegates.
Each governor may appoint thirty
delegates. The mayor of each city
may appoint one delegate for each
1000 of population, but not to exceed'
a total of fifty. Each chamber of
commerce, board of trade, real estate
exchange or other commercial bodies;
each board of county , commissioners;
each association of stock growers, of
lumbermen, of forestry, of irrigation;
each horticultural or agricultural or
ganization may appoint ten dele
gates.
Each governor is requested to ap
point a state executive committee of
five, to co-operate with the Colorado
executive committee J. Arthur
Eddy, chairman, Denver, Colorado.
The real Issue is, plainly and dis
tinctly, whether the public domain
other than the little remaining farm
ing lands shall be held in perpetuity
by the national government free from
taxation by the states, to be admin
Istered through leasehold for revenue
for the federal treasury, and under
bureaus at the national capitol.
A rental , or ilease based upon the
output of natural resources Is a tax
upon production, and a tax upon
production Is invariably paid" by the
consumer. Such policy would com
pel the western states to bear an
undue proportion of the burdens of
the national government. No other
states have ever been compelled to
pay royalties upon their natural prod
ucts, why should we? Our wealth
must consist, very largely, in those
very features, the tax revenue from
which is so essential to the main
tenance of state government. Even
the raw land itself is withdrawn
from state taxation.
These are the conditions which con
front us. It rests entirely with the
people of the West whether they will
acquiesce In this proposed new order
of things.
Given under my hand and the Ex
ecutive Seal this 29th day of June,
A. D. 1911. JOHN F. SHAFROTH,
Governor of Colorado.

FARM
Notes and Instructions from Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations
of Oregon and Washington, Specially Suitable to Pacific Coast Conditions
LIVE STOCK CORNERSTONE OF
AGRICULTURAL PROSPERITY.
By Dr. James Wlthycombe, Director Oro-
gon Agricultural College Experi
ment Station.
Agriculture without live stock on
the farm is like bread without yeait.
Live stock not only is the basis of
successful farming, but is its true
leavening Influence as well. It is the
only practical means of keeping up
the productivity of the soil. Without.
stock the soil will inevitably, suffer
deterioration 'in its plant food. Since
soil fertility is the basis of profitable
farming it behooves the farmer to
give this problem intelligent atten
tion.
The great need of Western Oregon
is more first-class cows and more
good hogs so that a much larger
percentage of the crude products of
the farm will be consumed by- live
stock and thus converted into finished
products, Buch as milk, cream, hoga,
etc. To those in touch with the situ
ation it is unmistakably evident that
the counties where live stock in some
form has received attention have
made the best progress agricultur
ally. Take, for example, Washington
County; last year this county pro
duced over one million dollars' worth
of milk, besides great quantities of
hogs, poultry, eggs, etc. Dairying
has been the principal agricultural in
dustry in this county for a number
of years, with the result that the ear
marks of prosperity are strongly In
evidence all over the county. Before
the advent of dairying there was not
a bank in the county, now there are
eleven of these financial institutions,
all of which are in a prosperous con
dition. In addition to this, good
barns and modern homes dot the
landscape in every direction. It is
truly a progressive agricultural
county, made so by live stock. The
farms are well tilled and the soil is
growing richer rather than poorer.
Under-drainage has been practiced ex
tensively; in fact, the farmers of
Washington County have laid mora
tile than have been used in all other
counties in Oregon combined. Dairy
ing has made this possible. Perman
ent road building is now in active pro
gress and soon the county highways
will be well Improved. Land values
are also steadily increasing and the
farms are being rapidly subdivided
and the new farm homes are adding
constantly to the population of the
county. This Is practically all due to
the cow and other farm stock, and
what this stock has done for Wash
ington County similar live stock will
do for other counties.
Polk county is coming rapidly Into
line in making live stock the domin
ant feature of farming. This county
has been noted for its excellent flocks
of . sheep and goats for some time.
To these the farmers are now add
ing dairy herds. At present there are
more high-class Jersey herds In Polk
County than there are In any other
county of the state. This means agri
cultural wealth and soon the farmers
of Polk County will become more
generally prosperous. This county
also has some excellent herds of
swine and the breeding of draft
horses is receiving marked attention
This increased production of live
stock means the growing of more
clover, vetch, alfalfa and other for
age crops, which, when consumed
upon the farm, become the true soil
builders.
Other Western Oregon counties are
showing a greater interest in live
stock husbandry and the ruinous sys
tem of exclusive grain-growing, summer-fallow
and burning ,of straw Is
fortunately rapidly becoming obso
lete. There Is ample room and abundant
opportunity for the improvement of
live stock conditions upon the wheat
farms of Eastern Oregon. This soil
although phenomenally rich and re
markably well adapted to the produc
tion of wheat is also well adapted to
the production of live stock. Hogs,
sheen and draft horses should be
produced from these farms In great!
numbers. These in time would great
ly Increase the value of production
per acre and at the same time insure
the conservation of soil fertility. The
field pea and alfalfa should largely
supersede . the summer-fallow. Thesa
are both good nitrogen-gatherers, and
at the same time furnish excellent
feed for the growing and fattening
of swine and sheep. Each grain
farm should have some draft mares
and the growing of good horses
should be made a feature of the farm.
No better horses can be produced
anywhere than can be grown upon the
wheat farms of Eastern Oregon. Per
haps, however, the greatest field of
opportunity in live stock production 13
in swine husbandry. Conditions are
highly favorable for the economical
production of hogs. These should be
grown mainly upon alfalfa with a
small supplemental feed of grain and
finished upon peas grazed offln the
open rieid. mis is an easy auu
profitable way of producing hogs, and
at the same time a good method of
soil building. The peas will produce
the best of pork and add nitrogen
and organic substance to the soil,
both exceedingly essential in the con
servation of moisture and the supply
ing of plant food for wheat produc
tion. This system of farming will enable
the farm unit to steadily grow smaller
ORCHARD
and thus increase the agricultural
population of the community. In
stead of a diminishing crop yield It
will mean a constantly Increasing
production. Farming can scarcely
hope to come into its own without
live stock. Let us speed the day
when the farms of Oregon shall have
more and better cows, more and bet
ter draft horses, many more good
hogs and larger and better flocks ol
sheep, goats, and poultry. This will
mean greater general prosperity and
the new wealth thus created will
stimulate and rejuvenate every chan
nel of trade and bring prosperity,
happiness and contentment to the
rural home.
METHOD COURSES FOR
TEACHERS.
Corvallis Three weeks of special
courses in methods of instruction,
designed for teachers, will be given

summer session of the Oregon Agri
cultural College. Method courses In
teaching, school management and su
pervision, special discussions of prob
lems in supervision, and a course of
lectures and exercises in physical
culture vwlll be included. Seven de
partments of work will be treated
in the method courses: elements of
agriculture, commercial subjects, do
mestic science and art, manual train
ing, high school subjects, grammar
school subjects, and those of " the
