We are not “secesh.” We do not believe in stirring up bitter feeling in one section against another, for our nation is great only as it is united. But there is a lynit to endurance; milking” of one part of the coun It is not there is a point at which the * try by another becomes injustice, outrage, robbery. right, or fair, or sensible, or patriotic, that for a few cents tariff on lemons and orange oil, or lumber, or for free hides, three fourths of the country should be compelled to suppoft, until the millennium, the billionaire producing interests of New England, New York and Pennsylvania, and it is infamous that one county on Manhattan island should control the finances of the nation. How long will the people of the west and middle west stand for it? Will they stand for Taft's new scheme for a central bank of issue, created by that eminent architect of infamies, Aldrich? Will they stand for a central bank, to be controlled by east ‘ern financiers, a bank that is to come forward in case of “cas ual stringency” in the money market, as Taft calls it? Come forward when Wall street wants to enliven the business of gambling with a billion of money that should be in legitimate business and circulation, as Wall street did two years ago? Aren't things centralized in Wall street enough now? Two years ago it was possible for centralized financial power in Wall street to turn high prosperity into high panic, almost in an instant. The middle west and west were crucified. Their banks, with millions and millions supposedly on call in New York, were refused their money, and every business con- cern, every farmer's concern, every artisan's living in the mid- die west and west was mercilessly, brutally pinched. Every dollar of railroad money controlled by Wall street was ordered forwarded to the “center” daily, for the gambling purposes of “the kings of high finance,” and the great west and middle west were left stripped and pauperized by the centralization! And, God help us! they now propose to legalize the thing by United States statute; by Aldrich-made law! San Francisco lay struggling in her ashes. Manhattan banks were fat with her money. She cried in vain for it. She found it “subject to call” of the gamblers only. She had to stop building homes for people who were cold and hungry and quarters for business men who were striving to again stand up- right after the horrors of April, 1906. Let the people of San Francisco, of St. Louis, of Los Angeles, of Seattle, of Kansas City, or of any other growing center of the west or middle west demand of Junketer Taft that his aad Aldrich’s bank of issue and bank of control-of-stringency be located in their city, be controlled by their representatives, and if they get any more satisfactory answer than that chronic, silly, hippopotamic smile and a few kind, windy words, they'll be lucky. How long will the people of the west and the middle west stand for location of all the national control in the hands of the few down East?

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. | International Get Together Spirit Back of Movement to Spread in- formation on Successful Methods of Forcing Crops From Great Areas Long Looked Upon as Arid. BY GILSON GARONER, great areas In this and other coun | tries, regions long looked upon as arid, can be forced to contribute their share to the world's supply of food, will become a subject of #o- rious International discussion when the fourth annual Dry Pacuing Con gres opens here for a session on October 26. | It may surprise some farmers of | the rain belt, and those who irrt mate, to know that there are now | 6,000 members of the Dry Farming association. Beginning in Denver three years ago, the get together movement of those interested in dry farming has grown enti! Cana- ds, Mexico, Great Britain, Africa, Turkestan, Russia, China and Japan are particip in the effort to pool experiences and apread useful information on the subject. At the coming meeting no less than 14 na tions will be represented hy dele gates or dry farm exhibits. Dry farming is the science of raising crops without the supply of rain. A few go it was supposed that irrigation or regular rain was essential to crops. Now it has been discovered that this eup- position is incorrect. If proper- ly handied, crops can be raised on land with almost the mini- mum of reinfail. Thin discovery hae come to the world like a great invention. Not without excitement, the farmer has awakened to the fact that lands regarded as uarid—as desert—-are good for a yearly crop of grain— geod grain, running 30 bushels to the acre; also good orchards, good | potatoes and other crops. Worth- lens lands have suddenly become valuable, and deserted wastes are being taken up and peopled with homestead settlers. What was the charactor of the discovery by which the farmer ts enabled to raise crops with 9 to 14 inches of rain in the year? “Boll culture” te the answer of Professor W. Hi. Campbell, whose name is one of the first to be iden tified with the dry farming move- ment. Professor Campbell now publishes a paper, and has for sev eral years been lecturing on the subject. He dates the beginning of dfy farming to the construction of & particular type of plow, which he had bedit in a biackemith shop tn South Dakot ck in the early ‘GOs. of dry farming. By all it is conceded that the trick ties in saving the moist- ure of whatever rain may fall. There are different ways of do ing this, but the result ie the same. in the main, also, it consists in a very frequent etir- ring of the surface of the ground. The farmer first plows very deeply, then he “barrows, harrows, harrows.” three-day | 14 NATIONS PLAN CONQUEST OF THE DESERT AT COMING DRY FARM CONGRESS IN MONTANA j | He says that plow is the basia | PeTimental stations in Wyoming THE STAR—SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1909.
