All other evils that can befall us are nothing compared to this blight which cuts short a full crop of babies. No wonder Napoleon the First became alarmed at con ditions which prevailed In Frame at one time during the twenty-five year war. Men left their wives and Join ed the great general who was almost overrunning the world. They be came fond of the nomadic life and much attached to the army which offered plunder and fortune and they forgot wife and home. The general saw the conditions and finally issued a decree divorcing all wives of soldiers who had been alone a certain number of years. When asked why he did this he explained that a na tion whose birth rate fell below Its normal stage was doomed to certain decay. France, he said, would he ruined If its births fell off to any great extent. The officials of mod ern France only a few years ago discovered that the birthrate had greatly decreased and after much study It was decided to offer a pre mium to the mothers of large fami lies. This was done and the rate of birth at once Increased. The United States, If it were not for the hundreds of thousands of emigrants which come to us annual ly, would fall behind In Its birthrate. Many of these people have increased and multiplied rapidly which has, as fnr, Haved the nation from destruc tion. There is also another side to race suicide which is of the highest Importance. A recent writer in one of the magazines said that there is no escaping the conclusion that the. baby crop Is worth more to this country of ours than nil the corn, ...i ..... .. .. i . . Kiir.ii, idiiiiii, neei ana poultry ,ih-dnr-ts put together--worth more In dollars and cents, t'nliincly frosM, the wheat rust, the green npliU and all the other crop and aiiiinnl H'-ourges couldn't work so gnat a national l!.;a:-ler as a genuine baby famine. And It Is simply appalling to think what would happen to our national temperament If babies were nhMll.1i. ed. Our sen ;,.

I wish to call the attention of our fruit growers to not only the necess ity but the advantage of growing and saving fine specimens of exhibit fruit, for it pays in more ways than one and It scarcely ever falls to repay financially. For over 20 years hnv,. heen nn annual exhibitor at fairs and exhibitions, and it has been my experience that the exhibitor very seldom fails to get well repaid in premiums as well as receiving a good price for his premium fruit and besides all this, the fair, as we!) as the community, realizes a valuable asset in the way of notoriety and ad vertising. I took 4", prizes one year on my own products ami u is neeuies u say was well paid for my trouble. Growers here at our district fair in Grants Pass two years ago made good money out of their exhibits through premium money. Do not say you have nothing good enough for ex hibition. There are scores of growers who have fruit which if put on exhibition in good shape at the fair this fall will bring the owner more money than It would in any other way. Send for premium lists and enter for everything on the list you grow. I have recently returned from Ashland where I assisted in the remodeling of the premium list of the Southern Oregon District Fair, and can assure you that it will be much easier to take premiums there, this year, than it was at Medford last year. I have assured them of a good exhibit from here. A first class exhibit should also be sent to the National Apple Show at Spokane, where we took so many prizes last year. The revision of the premium list of the apple show makes it a great improvement over last year With careful picking nnd packing and proper routing and arrangement of dates the same fruit could be ex hibited at the state fair nnd at Port land. Think of It, gentlemen, no exhibit from Josephine county at tin Ahuka-Yukon-l'ai it'lr exhibition with all our magnificent and varied re sources and. wbal Is worse, the only county In the state without an ex hibit. Hut the last di.ys of the fair will be the best and we have yi t time to redeem our reputation. Let US get togetlli r ii good showing ,n our lust fruit and ru-l: It up there and show the world that Josephine county Is md dead but only late. II. ('. HATKHAM. On Friday last an accident occur red on the Merlin road about four mile3 north of Grants Pass. Mrs. Ray Scovill, who lives on Louse creek, was on her way to town in a one-horse buggy. She had her in fant with her and was accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Chastaln. At the point mentioned she noticed a rapid ly approaching automobile. She gave a signal to the driver of the ma chalne to hold up, as her horse was heeoming frk'htened. No attention being paid, she again signaled, but . . .1 .. I !....! on crime me car, ine driver n-iusius in Ktrui as the law directs. Mrs. Scovill's horse became unmanage able and turned over the buggy, throwing the occupants to the ground. The horse broke loose and dashed away. ' Mr. Montgomery, who lives near the scene of the accident, came to the rescue of the party and rescued Mrs. Scovllle from under the broken buggy and took the party to his home. Mrs. Scovllle was in jured considerably, but the balance of those In the vehicle were not hurt. The occupants of the touring car kept right on and paid no attention to the two women and child, evident ly not caring whether they were kill ed or not. Unfortunately neither Mr. Montgomery or the ladies dis tinguished the number of the car, but they were satisfied that it did not belong at Grants Pass, being probably a touring car from Cali fornia on the way to the Seattle fair. There Is too much of this reck less running of autos and It should be stopped. Even some of our own home machines are run too care lessly, especially In passing carriages containing women and children. They forget that the law provides that persons on foot or In carriages have the right of way and that auto drivers, must stop on signal of any citizen with a team. If the number of the big touring car which fright ened Mrs. ScoviU'e horse had been taken the offenders could have been arrested in any town in this state through which they might he pass In:', and made to pay not only dam-v;- s but .'. big fine as well.

Tv, ,: l ' (if . . lidding three tons to the an each cutting, have already been har vested. The first crop was cut In June and the second in July. Mr. Jackson expects to get six tons from each acre In the next two cut; lugs, making n total of twelve tons. "At the market quotation or u a ton. Mr. Jackson' inn-acre alfal fa field will yield hi 111 $12,000. If, as predicted, owing to a general shortage of liny In the Northwest, the price of alfalfa advanced to $1S, the gross receipts from the crop will reach $21,(500. "Without Irrigation It Is impiis slble to raise four crops In a season here, but a number of alfalfa grow ers of the Totii'het valley will har vest three crops. Alfalfa growing Is In Its Infancy In the valley, but the Industry Is developlnn rapidly." The neason Is lunger In this coun try nnd. with proper cultivation.
