WINTER OATS.

Winter oa's are one Of the best paying
crnHs that can he grown. Wherever intro
duccd, they are supcySedng spring oats
entirely. Odt, are essentially cool
weather crop, and failures either partial or
total with spring oats on account OF the
hot dry weather OF June and July are SO
common that many farmers are entirely
discouraged from growing them. This
trouble is entirely obviatcd by substituting
winter oats. They are sown at the same
time as winter wheat and ripen with
wheat the following season, so that the
harvesting and threshing may all be done
at the same time. 4 Delaware correspond
cnt in the New England Homestead says:
The variety we grow in Delaware is per-
fcctly hardy-as much sc as Fultz wheat
and wristbands the scverest weather per-
fectly On good soil a yield Of - to 30
bushels is common. One and a half bushels
per acre are enough to SOW. Winter oats
are also a good crop to seed clover with.
The same fertilization and tilage that will
produce a good wheat crop will give big
crop OF winter oats

Must Grow our own sugar.

Protection to the sugar producing
industry of the United States. wheth-
er beet or cane, is now regarded as far
more important than it was admitted
To be a few years ago. During the
enactment of the Mckinley Tariff the
quantity of American grown raw sugar
vas very largely increased. 10 such an
extent. in fact. that it surprised not
only the friends of Protection. but also
those who have the habit of intimat-
ing that we cannot grow anything
that is worth eating or make anything
that is worth wearing.
There are two principal reasons why
both the beet and cane sugar indus
tries of the United States should re-
ceive ample Protection at the hands
of Congress. One Of these reasons is
that it will enable us, in time to be
independent of other producing coun-
tries for our supply OF one OF the nee
essary articles of life. The other rea-
son is that the use Of thousands of acres
of our farm lands in growing sugar
care o sugar beets will leave a small
er area to be planted to cotton, corn,
wheat and other crops that we now
produce in such superabundance that
the prices paid for them to the farmers
are very often below the cost OF actual
production.
BY growing our W sugar we shall
be strengthening our national indie
pendence: we shall also be helping
farmers who grow other crops by
checking their over-production.---

unwise Increase.

Several weeks ago the Board Of
Normal School Regents made a gener-
al advance in the salaries Of the
teachers in their employ. The IN
crease in most cases was from $50 to
800. This increase was wise.
Many Of the most responsible posi-
tions in the Normal schools yielded
less pay for ten months work than
some second-class High schools pay
their principals.
Such a condition needed a remedy.
The only remedy ayailable-the only
proper course for the board to pur-
sue was to raise salaries 50 that they
might be able to secure and retain
competent faculties.
AT the time this action was taken
the salaries OF the presidents were
unchanged. IN fact there was no
good reason for changing them. The
presidents have been receiving from
$2.s00 TO $4,000 a year-nearly or
quite twice as much as other teachers
in the schools of equal ability.
But the board at their July meet
ing has taken action that is a SUR
prise. They have raised the presi-
dents salaries, not from $50 to 500,
but from 5000 to $500 each. No such
advance was needed. The schools
will not be improved thereby. 1t is
doubtful if these men, with the posi-
BILE exception of two, could get even
81 500 elsewhere.
One of them. w. d. Parker of
River Falls, was glad to serve the
state during Governor Peck's admin
istration for $500 and by his narrow
and selfish policy proved himself en-
tiIely unfit for the responsible posi-
tion he now holds.
For the board TO retain this man in
their employ is an affront to the
teaching profession; to raise his SAL
airy is without excuse. These are
times for extreme c%arefulness in the
use Of public money. The depression
in business and finance demands rigid
economy.
The friends OF the Normal school
have been well pleased with the
action Of the new board in most
things. Its members have shown
themselves possessed OF a wise and
liberal spirit. This one act stands to
their discredit, but that will in a
measure be overlooked if the board
viii put presidents in all the schools
big enough to be worth the salaries
voted.

Disreputable journalism.

Disreputable Journalism.
The Teller man has made another
exhibition of himself. Instead Of fair
ly presenting facts and arguments re-
lating 10 the water works election and
trusting the people to vote intelligent
ly and honestly he assumed the role
OF an unscrupalous pettifogger. The
Teller at July II and the extra of
the 10th have no regard for truth or
fairness,
There was a studied effort in both
instances to misrepresent. { o stir up
strife, and to arouse the passions and
prejudices OF the people.
The editors style was that ofthe"walk-
ing delegate,'t the professional labor agi-
tator. some Of his writing is
worthy the pen Of Herr Most though
of course. inferior in diction.
The use Of the words hay seeds
.old fogies' etc as terms Of reproach
for many Of our most honored and
worthy citizens Is mean and little; to
insinuate that the business men Of
the city are hostile to the retired
farmers Is unfair, contemplate.
No editor with a modicum of a
sense Of justice would publish such
an article.
There is and ought TO be no division
OF II people into hostile classes.
However we may differ on economic
questions II citizens are all loyal to
our city's best interests, interested in
the prosperity Of the whole community
and DESTROYS for healthy growth and
improvement. The Teller's attempt
to stir up strife and contention was
vicious and merited the singing re-
buke given in Tuesdays election.
For there was in that election some
thing mor than the original question.
The false i%nsinuations against the
council and the gentlemen who have
been assisting them in their investi-
cations, the attempt to defeat the prop
osition by working upon the passions
rather than the reason of voters, the
dragging into this discussion of such
expressions as greasy Italians
.,scum of the earth, '..sharks that con-
troll legislation" getting money un-
der false pretens es, :. .Macbeth's dag
ger etc the assumption that Judge
Clementson would misrepresent law

false and mischlevouS sentiments in

minded man to vote against bonding

!. A mans fool friends are his worst
enemies" The Teller's fool friendship
undoubtedly cost the opposition from
IS to 100 votes. His course from
first to last was neither sensible nor
sincere. The crushing defeat of Tues
day and the utter disregard Of his
opinions in the recent school meeting
would conyi nee a less obtuse man
