BEETS AND BEET PULP FOR STOCK CATTLE FARMER'S ORGANIZATIONS Tlie farmer* of Klamath county should organise and hold yearly in stitutes in order the better to til themselves to raise the best crops possible on their lands. Farming Is n profession. In no other business is there a greater ne cessity tor a man to thoroughly understand every detail of his business as hi fanning. The scientific farmer today is lurking a success, while Ills hap- hazard neighUir is going bankrupt and it has lieen demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that science plays a most important part in the cultha- ' ion of tlie soil. Tlie farms of oiir county will soon be cut up in 160 acre tractsand ] -ss and it then will be necessary to get the most out of every acre of land that it Is possible to raise. It Is now possible with irrigation to make good n.oiH V on farms of 20 to 40 acres, but to do this a man must not only under- stai.d the nature of the soil and what it will produce best, but the crops that will bring in the greatest protits. This knowledge can lie easily obtained i fiw.il the experience of others. Tile chemists and professors of our agricultural colleges have brought iaimlngdown to a «< le'ice ami at their regular institutes it would be possi ble for our farmers to secure all the talent necessary to disseminate facts pertaining to the culture of the prisluets suitable to this locality; to instruct | the farmers on the definite rules of culture and harvesting, and to furnish Intel',,g, nt data op. cost of production and profits of growing the different crops. ll I lit’ I oH 111 t I <’Hl I ’ll i t*’t lurl. 1 countries, along with other root crops for feeding purposes. throughout my n ports |i‘"gI,'ss ,,H dustry.

The Iowa State Experiment sugar beets for Meek purposes would be be The experiment stations throughout the I'nited States Believing that nothing of greater value to the nation can engage the attention of our law makers than the preser vation of the public domain for the people who will make homes upon it, I contend that our remaining nonmineral lands and timber lands the soil of which is suitable for agri culture, should be held exclusively for actual settlers, and that the timber belonging to the n ition sh >.ild be properly cared for and should be sold, as required, at its true value. This reform can only be accomplished by an absolute repeal of the desert-land act, and the commutation clause of the homestead act and the timber and stone act, and by a refusal on the part of the Government to further issue land scrip for any purpose whatever.—Hon.

Klamath Falls is to have a free reading room. Nineteen of tbe leading women of our city are interested in the es tablishment of a public library or reading room, and when it is remembered wbat our ladies have accomplished in tlie past, it isevident that their efforts are sure to prove a success. Not many years ago, a portion of Main street was practically a rock pile. The improvement of this street seemed too great a task for the men tu undertake, but some of our enterprising women were not so skeptical, and a movement was put on foot, with what success, there are many of our citizens to testify. This work was started and carried out by the women, and with this evidence of their ability, who is thereto say that they will make a failure of a reading room? The need of a reading room is indisputable, especially in an interior town like Klamath Falls. This is an age of libraries and the person who dues not read extensively very seldom climbs far on tlie ladder of success. A man’s education does not end with his school days.; neither is his education obtained entirely from text books. A great many children attend school because they have to, but the broader education is only secured , through diligent work and reading by their own free will. Many of our greatest men have acquired their knowlege after they have entered upon their life work and it is only through intelligent reading and study, outside of school, th»ta man prepares himself for the highest demands of his work. "Expellcnce is the best teacher,” but intelligent reading creates knowlege where the experience is impossible. For "lie who is to win the noblest suc cesses in the world of affairs must continually educate himself for larger grasp of principles and broader grasp of conditions.” From a wx-ial standpoint a library or reading room would be a boon to our citizens, both old and young. With thr lack of places of amusement nni entertainment, there is only two things to do, to waste our leisure in simply killing time, or Improve our minds by reading, and thus fit ourselves for the op|*n(unity that comes to man once hi a lifetime. The former many of us are proficient in, but proper encouragement and an opportunity to adopt tbe latter method would be eagerly grasped by many who are now ccmtilled toebouae the former pastime. Me agree with the ladies that Klamath Falls should have a reading room. It need not lie on an extensive scale at first, for the main thing is to get it once started. This accomplished it will be an easier matter for it toenlarge' as the town grows. Ladies Furnishings, Htm| , la*.* M». H M. I < lbt ................
