THE ADAMS RISK.

So far as Roosevelt and Fairbanks
are concerned. the election is already
won. The only possible danger is
over-confidence, and there is not too
much of that; but in this state we
have local contest which Is probably
attracting more attention than any
other local contest in the United
States. Governor Peabody is every
where regarded as the representative
of law and order, of every mans right
to work. OF the authority of the whole
people Of the state as against the au-
thority of secret organization of dy-
namiters and assassins. What his cleo
tion would mean to the business of the
state cannot be calculated. But It
would certainly mean a continuation
of the business confidence which now
prevails; 1t would mean the invest
ment OF hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars of eastern money in this state; it
would be an example to other states
which may be threatened with the
same sort Of domination which the
western federation sought to establish
here.

hand, will be signal to the whole

THE FARM AND RANGE

Colorado's state engineer is making
some telling points against Kansas in
the interstate water suit. Mr.. Carpen-
ter introduced documentary evidence
that is conclusive Of the fact that there
are in effect two Arkansas rivers, one
a mountain stream that is lost In the
sands of the plains soon after crossing
the Colorado-Kansas line, and the other
a plains river having its origin as well
as its course In Kansas. This has been
the condition since the earliest known
times, and the mere fact that food
channel exists connecting the two can
not be Interpreted as a foundation for
the absurd claims of Kansas to prevent
the use by Colorado people of the upper
or Colorado stream.-Pueblo Chieftain.

Crops Without Irrigation.

After more than twenty years of
study and experiment in the semi-arid
belt, Mr.. H. w. Campbell of Lincoln.
Nebraska. has developed a system OF
soil culture which would seem from in
formation at hand to be particularly
well adapted to the needs OF agricul-
ture in the arid states.
b A farmer writing from Nebraska
says that after experimenting with the
Campbell process for two years, dur
ing the past season. which was an IN
favorable one for wheat. from twenty
acres of land cultivated during the
summer of 1903 and sown to winter
wheat, he harvested $50 bushels of
wheat, testing fifty-nine pounds, or for.
ty-one bushels to the acre. And this
too, in the face of the fact that ninety
per cent of the wheat sown in the
same neighborhood under the old sys-
tenn OF cultivation was total failure
The successful test of the new system
was made on high land. with less than
one-half inch of rain from August, 1908
to April, 1904.
A Kansas farmer writes: while the
wheat crop in our section was a total
failure in 1904, yet on our farm, where
we cultivate entirely under Professor
Campbell's plan, we raised over forty
bushels per acre, from less than one
half bushel of seed sown."
Another Kansas farmer writes OF
thirty-eight acres which during the
past season yielded over thirty bush
els per acre after cultivation under the
methods employed by this system.
