Johnson is now able to be out once more after being confined to his home for the past five weeka on ac count of Injuries sustained to his leg while cutting wood in the mountains. Dr. W. E. Taylor of Moline. Ill . soil expert, delivered a lecture on Better Farming" to an audience of ahout 100. mostly farmers, in the K. of P. hall this afternoon. Dr. Taylor was introduced by President E. A. Bryan and held the close attention of his audience for an hour and a half. In the course of his remarks Dr. Taylor said : "Farming is now a profession: soil is a tactory stored with the elements which make fertility, but the farmer has to develop and mix those elements to get results. Crop raising and stock raising are interdependent. Live stock furnishes a market for the coarse products of the farm and the means for replenishing the soil, 'the high cost of living centers around meat and dairy products and they are high becaue the supply is not keeping pace with the demand. In raising crops there are four equally impor tant factors, the seed bed, the fertility of the soil, good seed and a good market. "On account of the high price of meat at the present time live stork furnishes the best market for the farmer's grain. The silo is a big fruit jar and the silage is just as important for the live stock as the canned iruit to the family in the winter. The summer silo is an in surance policy against drought." Dr. Taylor closed his addiess by urging upon bis hearers the duty of the present generation to maintain the fertility of the soil Spokesman Review.

There Is Onlj- One Right Policy. From the standpoint of buildiug np our state and developing its business and industries, there is only one right policy to pursue. That is for the citizen and corpora tion and Public officials to buy from the home merchant and from the home manufaturer. To force the retailer and jobber and whole world is frequently only a manufactnrer to compete with the sure-thing pain to drive them out of bnsiness. Everything possible that is needed here and can be had at anywhere near the price it is offered at from other sources Bhould be bought at home. It is good business policy, even though the price is a little higher and the quality not quite as perfect as tbe imported" article. Those who buy abroad, whether it be building matetial, clothing or food are not working for the best interests of the community where they make a living. A city council, schol, county or state official that will split hairs and let a labore-eraploying. tax-paying business man go to the wall ii acting short-sighted. The home merchant and the home industry are deserving of better treat ment, and their success is shared bv every citizen. Thisnoliov is the right policy and is advocatedin Oregon by The Oregon Manufacturer and is producing greater prosperity. Oregon Manufacturer. A Poor Crop Outlook.

Orion Wright, Mr. Beardsler, Wm. Fisk, Without any idea of creating need less alarm it may be pointed out that the crop situation is the most serious we have faced in many yr ars. Allow ing that wheat makes a remarkably )ooa snowing, ana mat nay would give a fair return for average years, supplemented by what was carried over from the last crop, the outlook is grave. Corn will not come up ti the most conservative estimates of a foitnight ago. Tobacco is seriously injured. The potato crop will be short. Cotton, which is taken as largely net national gain because we sell it to the foreigner, is facing a crisis through the continued drought, and the subsequeut shedding. Here is an actual loss of potential wealth upon which the country's trade had counted to finance its obli gations. With the destruction or feed the price of besf, pnrk, butter and eggs must necessarily advance. With the advance in the price of cot ton, cotton goods must increase in price, taritt or no taritt, wit'i a smaller purchasing capacity due to the elementary fact that we are becoming a nation of consumers ratber than producers. What follows is contract-' ion of trade, due to the depletion of capital and.oheap money would be no evidence of increased purchasing power. Money was never cheaper than during the depressed years which followed the panio of 1893. It is as well to look these facts in the face. They are facts, and no sensible business man can afford to ignore them. They are the base of I all national prosperity. The country is doubtless big enough to meet such 'adversity without commercial de- i moralization, but it should be wise j enough not to delude itself in a fool's paradise of hightr prices.
