POINTS OUT EVILS
OF FARM RENTING
-CHARLES S. BARRETT If.GES
POSSESSION OF LAND
President of Farmers' Educational
and Co-oHTative Union of Amerii-a
Decries Present Conditions Advo
cates Scientific and Diversified
Farming.
Pendleton members of the Far
mers' Educational and Co-operative
TTnion of America have received cop
ies of a letter from National Presi
dent Charles S. Barrett of Georgia, in
which he decries the evils of farm
renting and calls upon all members
of the union to acquire possession of
the land from which they make their
living. Scientific and diversified
farming are also urged upon the.
members of the union.
' The letter follows:
One of the greatest evils America
is facing today Is feudalism in the
country districts in other words that
condition which many millions of
farmer tenants upon the land from
which they must earn a living.
Americans have fought to the last
ditch for their homes. It is a hu
morous axiom that no man ever stood
in the last ditch for his. boarding
house, and It is ertain that no far
mer is going to discharge Ms duty. In
times of peace or war, If the roof that
shelters him Is the property of an
other man. and the acres that feed
him are simply rented for a year or a
term of years.
The entire nation is more or less
wrestling with the problems of ten
ancy But It Is probable the south
ern states are called upon to face It in
its most aggravated form.
I know of, not one, but scores of
instances in which southern farmers
actually rejected proposals by which
they might easily have acquired their
own farms. They preferred Instead
to rent the land upon either a system
of "cropping" or of money payments
which, in a few years would aggre
gate more than the entire cost of the
jilace.
Bt TTERLESS FRCIT CAKE
Many housewives say it is impossible
- to make a good fruit cake without but
ter. The recipe below will give you
as rich, flavory a fruit cake as you ever
lasted; yet there is no butter in it:
Mix four cups sifted pastry flour, one
c-yel teaspoon soda, two level teaspoons
mixed spices (except cloves), one
fourth level teaspoon salt and two cups
- seeded and quartered raisins. Add also
one-half cup nuts chopped fine, if you
. like. Blend one-half cup Cottolene wiih
one cup brown sugar and one cup white
'tpar, add one cup molasses, one cup
xnnic and then the flour mixture. Beat
Well and bake in two pans.

?uch a policy, and it is pursued In
the south to a ruinous extent, leads i
nowhere save to dependency or in-1
different prosperity.
Si that one thing the Farmers'
un'n has endeavored to enourage.
has been personal ownership of the
farms of its members, against that
vicious system of "cropping" by
which the tenant is little better than
slave to the land holder.
The man who does not own his
farm is likely to be almost constantly
in debt to his land lord. From one
year's end to another, his obligations
are perpetual and self-renewing. He
must consult his landlord regarding
what crops and how much of each
crop he shall cultivate. Often he is
under debt for the very necessities of
life, and in a few cases I have known
his type to drag out a hand-to-mouth
existence.
I sound this warning now. so far as
regards the south as well as every
other section of the nation, that at the
galloping rate lands are enhancing
owning your own farm a few years
hence will be a luxury. Today, only
a certain amount of enterprises, seir
denial and thrift Is essential. The
process is open to the humblest and
poorest farmer in America.
Hand in hand with home-owning, ,
should go the policy of scientific ana
diversified farming.
During the panic of 1907 I know
several wise farmers in the immedi
ate neighborhood of my Tiome, who
raised on their places every product
necessary to the sustenance of man
and beast.
These men weathered the roughest
part of the panic almost In Ignorance
of the existence of such a thing. They
would not, In face liave known of the
existence of a panic had It not been
for the straightened circumstances of
their less wide-awake friends, many
of whom had to borrow money with
which to buy food brought from out
side the state when that food should
have been raised upon their own
acres.
We are not yet Immune to panics
In this country. The visitation of
1907 will sooner 'or later be repeated.
If you raise your own food sup
plies as well as food for your cattle
and stock you will not feel the pinch
of panic.

agriculture means you snail man
cotton lareelv a surplus crop.
The farmer who "single snoia on
cotton is putting all Tils eggs In one
basket. He Is paying tribute to tne
western cattle and grain dealer out
of his cotton money for the supplies
with which to raise his cotton crop.
He Is mortgaging his main money
crop before the latter goes In the
ground and that Is the worst econ
omic fallacy that could be perpetrat
ed. I know that It will require self-sacrifice
for a time, the denying one's
self of small luxuries, both to own
one's own farm and, perhaps, to prac
tice diversified farming. The game
is worth the candle.

SEEMED LIKE SPOOK
London. Nothing stranger has been
related recently In the London police
courts than the escapade of a young
girl in a house in West Kensington.
The girl, Anna Belman, aged six
teen, appeared before the West Lon
don magistrate, charged with being
"a suspected person."
Behind the formal complaint lies a
strange story, which was related by
Mrs. Edgar and her daughter, who
live in the house in question. The
house Is a large three-story one, In
a quiet neighborhood.
"For a fortnight." said Miss Muriel
Edgar, "we have heard noises in the
house, but we were not nervous, and
we assumed that they were only the
ordinary sounds one hears on a windy
night, the creaking of doors, and oth
er slight disturbances. We had no
ticed, however, that the bread had
been going for a fortnight past, and
we could not understand Its disap
pearance. "One afternoon, the maid came
rushing downstairs and said there was
somebody In her room. I went up, ta
king a police whistle with me, and
looked under the maid's bed. No one
was there, and I opened her trunk
with my foot. I could see no one
there, but I noticed a movement In
the trunk. I screamed and ran down
stairs. "In answer to the call of the whis
tle, a policeman came, and he, my
mother and myself returned to tho

shrink.
maid's room. There was nothing In
the trunk then, so we went down to
the next floor. There Is an ottoman
box there and the policeman opened
:r At first we say nothing but a great
mass of black hair. Hhtn the figure
inside the ottoman moved and we saw
that It was a girl. Poor girl she
looked more like an animal than a hu.
man being.
"At first we saw only her eyes
showing through her matted hair, and
her toes sticking up at the ond of the
ottoman. When we got htr out, she
looked like a girl of 16, biggish for
her age. Her clothes, such as they
were, just a blouse and a pinafore and
some rags, were very dirty. .She' was
quite dazed when we got lier out of
the ottoman, and rubbed her eyes, as
if she had just awakened from a long
sleep."
In answer to the question of the as
tonished women and the policeman
the girl said she had been In the
house for a fortnight, concealed by
day In a box and prowling around the
house by night.
TRAIN TEX MILES LOXG '
FOR WALLA WALLA FRUIT
Walla. Walla, Wash. Ten miles of
fruit, the width of a refrigerator car,
and packed solidly, will have been
shipped from Walla Walla valley this
fall, according to the most conserva
tive estimates. Those more liberal
place the length of the train that
would be required to haul the fruit at
15 miles. The first estimate Is based
upon the estimate of 1200 cars of
fruit from the valley, but this is con
sidered low, and men who have
made careful study of the situation
say the shipments will go forward be
tween 1500 and 1800 car.
The prune season practically closed
last week, and it Is figured that some
250 cars of that fruit were shipped
from the valley. The prunes have
been a good source of revenue this
year, and averaged some $28 to 30
a ton the season through. By the
carload they netted about $500, a re
turn of $125,000 from the prune or
chards of the valley.
Apples will net much more, as the
big orchards of the valley are planted
to this fruit. Already shipments of
fall varieties have begun, and winter
apples are fast ripening. The weather
has been Ideal for apples, and the
crop is estimated to be bigger by
nearly a third than ever before. Few
apples are damaged by worms this
year, although codling moth appears
to have been a hard problem this sea
son. Four sprayings seem to have
been too much for the pest, however,
and for the "most part the orchards
are remarkably clean.
The other half of the fruit ship
ments are made up from cherries,
pears, peaches and other fruits, which
have been shipped In car lots and In
I part cars. The express companies
have been doings a rushing business
ever since the season opened, and re
port the heaviest year thy have ever
had.

GRAPEVINES TO BE
I'SEl) AS SXOW FENCE
Cadllae, Mich. There Is talk am
ong G. R. & I. railroad men to the
effect that next spring the company
will commence the construction of a
new kind of snow fence. Vineyards
from Grand Rapids to the straits but
without grapes on the vines are talk
ed of. The present snow fences are
inadequate to the demands made up
on them In February and March.
Seeds of wild grnpe vines will be
sown nlong the woven wire fences
which they will climb, become a for
midable barrier to the snows of the
coldest and wildest months. Besides
that the grape vines will be a pleasing
thing to look at in the summer
months.
