SUMMER FALLoWlNG.
Was a Success for Winter Wheat on
Dry Kansas Soil,

The experiments in grain raising on
the lands near Hill City, Kan, owned
by j. p. Pomeroy, the former Atchison
have attracted much attention. Mr..
Pomeroy was determined to test the
possibilities of grain production in
western Kansas. and employed II. w.
Campbell inventor of the Campbell
system of soil culture, TO conduct ex-
periments. The wheat yield this year
more than fulfilled the expectations.
Mr.. Campbell has explained the meth
cd pursued and benefits secured, all
having considerable bearing on the
problem of western Kansas farming.
He says:
"One of the important points that
was intended to be brought out of the
Pomeroy model farm was the value of
summer filling commonly called sum
mer fallow) This is a part of soil
culture that is altogether too little
understood, not only as to the manner
of doing the work. but the value of the
work and it's direct effects upon the
growth of the crops that are to follow,
as well as the remarkable drought re-
sisting qualities of soil thus treated.
1.-The plan to accomplish all this, as
applied on the Pomeroy model, was
first tried in early March, 1900. We
began by double disking the surface
soil that had been titled In the ordinary
way for fourteen years. the last six
years OF which the crops were failures.

A CONGRESSIONAL BATTLE.

In the Seventh congressional dis

bilious center, a stirring campaign is
on for the nomination between Capt.
j. A. T.. Hull incumbent, and Judge
s. f. Prouty, who would like to Sc
cure his toga. Both are residents of
the capital city. The contest is inter

tricts in the state, chiefly in the light
of what may happen when other am
bilious candidates shall take the field
to contest the honors with old mem

A NEW WHEAT FIELD.
New York Sun.l

The ancient wheat fields of Asia
Minor are destined in a comparatively
brief period TO play great part in
the commercial and political combin
atoms of Europe in particular and the
world generally The Sultan's signing,
the other day, the trade granting the
concession for the prolongation of the
trunk line of the Anatolian railways
to Bagdad and Basrah, will open in
a few years regions that have been is
olated for centuries. The political diff
ticulties that have hitherto INSTRUCTED
the carrying out of the German policy
which, since the conception of the idea
of bringing the Persian Gulf into di-
rect connection with Europe, has aimed
at keeping the main line of commune
ication as far away from the Mediter-
ranean as possible, have been over
come. In what way the objections o;
Russia have been met, on the one hand
by Russia, and by Germany on the
other, has yet to be learned.
The interest to ourselves lies chiefly
in the fact that with the accomplish
ment of the purpose of Germany in
this mater, new rival in wheat pro-
duction will enter the lists against us.
From Berlin to Basrah thru Constan-
tinople is almost straight line, and
one beyond the reach of any maritime
power. In the event of Il war between
Germany and any of the great sea
powers, once the railway is completed
and the impetus 1t must give to the
cultivation of Mesopotamia has had
time to take effect, Germany will have
granary at her disposal safe from
interruption by any power except Rms
STA. At the same time a new market
will be created for German nlanufac-
turers as the development of the
country proceeds, and the terminus OF
of the railway on the Persian gulf
wherever it may eventually be located
will undoubtedly become 4 principal
part of shipment for German goods
to the Indian. Australian and other
eastern markets.
Relieved of her dependence on Rus
STA, and on her transatlantic markets
for her wheat supply, the commercial
policy of Germany may be expected
to become more aggressive in charac-
ter, and the competition with her riV-
ais, particularly the British, more
acute. 1t is the perception of this thai
has probably caused the trobule about
Koweit, England, as is usual and nat
ural, raising every obstacle to the de-
velopment of the commerce of Other
countries at the expense of her own.

AGAINST PRIMARY ELECTION BILL.

A bill has been prepared by Senator
Crossley, of Madison county, for a law
providing for a general primary cleo
ton in which all political parties shaii
participate, with separate boxes LOT
narty ballots. The Times Republican
does not believe the people will approve
OF such a measure. 1t looks too much
like paternalism in government In seek

and to gain recognition for the sup
porters of Prouty--which would be the
Prouty machine" Editor Young, who
favors Hull's return, subjects Proutys
address to pitiless logic. To Proutys
claim that Hull opposed Cummins in
the governorship caucus, the Capital
replies that each decided TO keep
hands off in order to allow both fair

Judge Prouty did not touch the main
issue inhis speech at Altoona. that issue
being the sending of an apprentice"
to congress or the continuance OF q
"journeyman." For the Seventh dis
trict this is a greater issue than all
Others. The judge says that u new
man could do as much for the army
post or the Des Moines postoftice as
Captain Hull could do. The judge
knows that is a mistake. He served ii,

Senator Beveridge, whom Judge
Prouty cites as an old friend. has had
no influence in the senate OF the United
States because he went to congress
having in his mind the idea expressed
by Judge Prouty. The plain, hard
fact is that Judge Prouty wants to go
to congress and Captain Hull wants to
be continued in congress. Each will
make the best argument he can for
himself, and such arguments ought to
pass for what they are worth, but Polk
county and the Seventh district ought
not to think of dropping out of sight
and out of influence in the house of
representatives for the next eight
years by electing a new and inexper-
fenced man. SO far as the city of
Des Moines is concerned, the defeat Of
Captain Hull would mean the ADAM
donment of the army post and the Civ
ing up of all hope of the new federal
building. because no new man could
push these projects to the front.

cHeApNEss OF WIRELESS TELEGRAPH,

Carl Snyder describes the modus
eperandi of the Marconi system of
wireless telegraphy in the February
number of the Review of Reviews. Mr..
Snyder shows the fallacy of the popu-
lar belief that Marconi is the creator"
OF wireless telegraphy. Other men
made the discoveries and inventions
out of which the Marconi system has
been constructed; but Signor Marconi
has done the practical thing in working
out the system. Edison aptly said OF
him, He lis in my class" OF its cheap
ness Mr.. Snyder says:
TT is rather needless to say that Mar
coni's splendid demonstration of trans
oceanic signaling means, in the near
future, big reduction in cable tolls.

purely arbitrary figure.

graph is not run to enrich rich people,
