SHOULD THE SOIL BE CONSID-
... ERED2

However much we might like to
know what our soils contain of
plant food, yet. for any practical
purpose, it is impossible to deter
mine. 1t can be laid down as a
general rule: First, that heavy,
clayley soils do not require so
much potash or ammonia as light
soils, but are greatly benefited by
phosphoric acid; second, that
light soils require great deal of
potash and phosphoric acid, and
a liberal amount of ammonia,
which latter substance should be
applied in small quantities and
frequently, especially if the soil
is of sandy nature. These are
til, only variations of the soil
which one can consider in gener-
al farm practice. Beyond these
characteristics, it is better to fer
tilize for the crop, and so insure a
crop, especially if much labor is
to be expended In its cultivation.

The Wahpeton times. [volume] (Wahpeton, Richland County, Dakota [N.D.]) 1879-1919, 1885-12-31

Senator Beck of Kentucky, pulled
the president and his silver policy
supporters over the Goals the other
day in good shape in the senate. He
denounced the president for pursu-
ing precisely the same course in re-
gard to the reserve that his republi-
can predecessors had pursued in
maintaing vast, unnecessary treas
ury surplus, demanding that the
silver piled up in the treasury vaults
should be used in calling in bonds.
He held that the bonds were payable
in either gold or silver coin, and
asked how the surplus silver was to
get into circulation unless the secre-
tary would call in the bonds that
ought to be called in and pay out
the silver. He also plainly charged
that the president and secretary of
the treasury were violating the law
and working in the Interests Of the
bankers and against the interests
of the people. Senator Morril in
referring to Beck's speech, remarked
that Beck had in fact characterized
the democratic secretary of the
treasury as being little better than
a common thief. No one seems to
be able to tell what the effect of Mr..
Beck's bold stand will have on his
party, but it is conceded that the
president will have much difficulty
in crowding his anti-silver policy
down the throats of his party. The
democratic stock in trade in the
last presidential campaign, was
the argument that the republicans
unnecessarily boarded up immense
stacks of silver in the national
treasury that should be paid out to
clean up national Indebtedness and
lessen the burden Of taxation on the
people. We cannot see where Mr..
Beck is wrong. and can see where
he is right. Silver is money.

Delegate Convention,

The proposed delegate convention
has been called to meet at Fargo
the 18th Of January and to last
through four days. The call is for
the representation of 20 counties in
the territory and nine in Minnesota,
averaging all the way from one to
fourteen delegates each:
First.-To consult and give expression Of the
views of the people in regard to division and adj
mission Of Dakota. which it is proposed to dis
cuss In all it's bearings, especially i'll relation to
division and admission, and division without aa-
mission, and admission rs Il whole.
Second.-The connection of Lake Traverse AM,
and Big Stone Lake by canal. giving the Red
River Valley waterway outlet In ough these
lakes and Minnesota river to the G ulf Of Mexico
Third-To discuss the complications arising
from the recent orders of the United States land
commissioner in regard to homestead entries
and kindred matters.
Fourth-To get expression and convey tho
same to congress of the feeling of the people in
regard to what Is know as the Trail county de-
cison.
Under Che call Richland county is
entitled to five delegates, and we
hope that interest in the mat
ter will be sufficient to call Il
mass convention at Wahpeton and
elect the delegates. Arrangements
will be make with the various roads
for reduced rates of fare. 1t is sug-
gested that each days programme
be as follows:
Tuesday Organization by delegates from
counties north OF Forty-Sixth parallel in Dakota
and appointment of committees.
Wednesday-Gencral discussion in considera-
tiOn of division and statehood. Only delegates
north of Forty Sixth parallel in Dakota to vote.
Thursday Discussion 0! connection of Big
Stone Lake and Lake Traverse.
Friday-Homestead entries and land Office
matters
saturday-United States supreme court decis.
ion in relation to Trail county.
This will undoubtedly be an i'm.
portant meeting and it should be
largely attended by intelligent and
active men, that the best sentiment
may prevail.
