Time for Martial Law.

When the courts are deliber-
ately defed by an officer Of the
courts. when men 60 daily armed
without the authority Of the state to
which they owe allegiance, il they do
not acknowledge it; when the armed
citizenship, to say nothing of the
soldiers Of another state. is permit
ted to invade without restraint; when
personal libertie. are denied the rep
resentatives and employees Of q great
order and they are held prisoners;
when the authorities OF municipal
corporation in which all these things
occur are in league with the mob
which is responsible for this state Of
affairs. it is time for the governor Of
the state to interfere. The hour has
arrived now when the courts being
powerless to rule the mob element,
the governor Of the state should feel
it duty to take possession Of Full
ton and declare martial law in that
section of Whiteside county.
There is political consideration
that can be placed upon such an ap-
peal as this. 1t Is made in behalf Of
those already shocked by the negli-
gence that has been shown so far,
and with the hope that the e1ecuti 5e
OF Illinois, who is sworn to uphold
tie peace and dignity of the state,
will become aroused to the gravity
OF the situation, and put check to
the outrageous lawlessness to which
the Fulton people have carried their
reckless determination to thwart
the carrying out Of the will Of the
Modern Woodmen of America. The
governor is asked to assert him self
before blood - shed by the mob,
whose riotousness has so far had the
countenance OF the law upon it's
deeds.
Martial law will alone put an end
to the disgrace of Whiteside county,
and protect human life and property.

Broadcast sowing of ashes on plowed

Peas make IN excellent green ma

Some Causes of Failure.

One of the most important things
about good farming that most of us
have to learn is to avoid waste. Wepay
taxes on land that we do not farm; we
only half cultivate our fields, and so
waste both land and labor; we leave u
large percentage of the crop in the
field; we waste time and capital rails
ing inferior animals; we waste money
in buying what we should raise our
selves; we waste energy in trying to do
more than any one man can do right;
we waste opportunities to improve our
condition by staying away from in
stitutes and neglecting to read papers;
we waste-in a thousand and one ways,
and then we are ready to say that
farming don't pay" And it is no
wonder.-Rural World.

GROWING SUGAR BEETS.

1t IL Now Being Tried I'm Nearly All
Sections of the Country.
One of the most promising signs OF
the times from the standpoint of ag-
riculture is the awakening interest OF
the farmers of the country in improved
methods of production, in diversified
farming and in seeking out new fields
for endeavor. In no other direction
perhaps, is there such marked evidence
of the last-named tendency as in the
growing sentiment favorable to the
cultivation of the sugar beet, which
seems to be in every mind, and which
is likely to be tried this season in near
" every section of the country where 1t
is believed the saccharine vegetable
may succeed.
In no other direction is there such
opportunity, at least so far as crop
cultivation is concerned, for the de-
mand awaits every pound of sugar
which can be produced, while there is
no danger that there will be too much
of it for the next half-century. The
figures are interesting. It is estimated

Bau,boos In the South.

Experiments in Florida and Louisi-

there are bamboos that have attained
to height of so or 60 feet. They are of

70 feet in India. In Orange county
there is one clump of bamboos, said to
be only ten years old, in which the
stalks have attained to the height OF
