THE COLLEGE, BOYS ON THE FARM.
We have noted sco-e or more of In
stances the past year where farmers
sons after taking a course at some
agricultural school return to the old
farms and put into practice the knowl-
edge obtained. In almost every case
these boys make as radical change In
farm conditions as does the introduc-
tion OF good blood into the stockyard.
They raise bigger and better crops
right on. They pay much attention to
the matter Of seed. They plan and put
into operation proper rotation Of
crops. They organize local farmers
clubs, are Invaluable helpers in all
farm institute work, are wide awake
and progressive In all that pertains to.
agriculture as busl IS and chock
full OF o contagious enthusiasm. The
mossbacks have to come to them to
learn. for grandpa's way can't argue
with better stock and bigger crops as
evidence OF the value OF such collie
giate training. They are getting In their
good work In nearly every farming
community and are the eyangellsts OF
that better and more progressive type
Of agriculture which bids fair 70 come
70 all the country.

The mechanical condition of the soil
has very much to do with its produc-
tveness-far more than most farmers
think for. 1t is an easy matter for the
soil to be too wet or too dry, to be too
cold or too warm, to 10 in such condi-
tion that It will admit too much air or
not enough. It matters not how much
fertility the soil may possess, IL the
mechanical condition of the soil Is not
right the plant food which 1t contains
Is not available. A lack of humus In
the soil, a very common condition on
all lands long cropped with grain
crops, always insures an unfavorabl
condition OF the SOIL 1t runs and be-
comes a mortar bed in a wet time and
bakes and cracks in a dry time. The
good farmer will seek to remedy this
common fault by giving the land rest
renovation and new fertility with clo-
yer and by the plowing under Of some
green crop and the application of a
good coat OF barn yard fertilizer and
by pasturing the land for a year or
two. Land OF clayey makeup II
plowed when wet is put In n bad me-
chanical condition for the entire sea-
son.

LAND STRATEGIC
IN ITS SITUATION

Objections to motion to advance on
the calendar of the Supreme Court
have been filed by plaintiff in the in
junction suit of Pioneer Mill Company,
Ltd, appellee, VS.. Edmund H Hart
and Nose Meheula, appellants. This is
the suit to prevent Meheula from OBJ
tanning writ of possession on the
judgment for a piece of land he won
in the Territorial courts against Pho
neer Mill Co, until the latter's appeal
to the Supreme Court of the United
States has been determined. Affidavits
in support of the objections are made
by Henry E. Cooper. E. B. McClana-
han and S. H. Derby, attorneys for
Pioneer Mill Co
Mr.. Derby, in justifying the appli-
cation to Judge Kepoikai while in Ho-
nolulu and outside of his own circuit
for a restraining order to Clerk Hart
and Meheula, says that he carefully
prepared and argued the case of Ter
ritOry VS.. Cotton Bros & Co before
Judge Lindsay, wherein he sought to
uphold a decision of Judge Gear of the
First Circuit Court alleged to have
been made in San Francisco; that one
of his arguments in that cause was
that the decision, even if invalid if
made in San Francisco, became valid
upon its being filed in the First Cir
cult Court. The decision was upheld
by Judge Lindsay and was alone, in
Derby's opinion, a sufficient warrant
for seeking the restraining order He
further points out that, irrespective of
whether said restraining order was
validity issued or not. it is not now be-
fore the court, since the temporary in
junction duly and regularly isshed has
taken its place"
Like the pleadings of the Pioneer
Mill Co. in previous stages of the liti-
cation, these affidavits argue that Me-
heula can not suffer greatly from the
delay, the land in question being less
than an acre in area, while the Pioneer
Mill Co. viii suffer irreDarable damage
if it is deprived of the use of the land,
over which its permanent railway
tracks run, ''in that it would practical
ly cause the shutting down of plain
tiff's mill which is now in active oper-
alton

To PRISON

Bond Filed.

Takada received from Judge Lindsay
the maximum sentence for murder in
the second degree, of which he was
convicted last week with a recon-
mendation in the jury's verdict that he
limit of the law. The minimum pen
aIty is Imprisonment at hard labor for
twenty-years, and the maximum the
same thing for life. Takada is twenty
six years of age and even if the court
had split the difference would be an old
man when his sentence expired.
A. Perry, who with H. G. Middleditch
conducted the defense by assignment of
the court, prior to sentence spoke
against the extreme penalty of life i'm
prisonment In his remarks he renew
ed a statement of his closing address to
the jury, to the effect that it was a
cooked-up case and that Detective
Chester Doyle had primed the wit
nesses. He also intimated that steps
for an appeal would forthwith be taken,
but as no FUNDS were available he ask
ed that the court make an order for
a free transcript of the evidence.
Judge Lindsay doubted whether a de-
PENDANT having free counsel was legally
entitled to assistance beyond the jury
trial. but took the matter of a trans
script under Amusement and allowed
sixty days for filing a bill of excep-

THIS IS THE NEW Law.

II You Have Registered This Spring You
Won't Need to Again Unless You Move
The Hussey registration law, which
went into effect last week, provides that
voters need not register every year 50
long as they live IN the same house.
This viii save the people much trouble
and politicians, a lot Of expense. One
Of the heaviest items Of expense IN a
campaign IS that OF getting voters to
register Politicians have TO haul them
out TO register and then out again TO
vote.
Every person who wishes to vote at
the april election this year must reg
lister, but the certificate obtained this
time VIII be held good IN the future so
long as the people live in their old
places and vote. IF a person fails to
vote at any election his registration is
wiped out and he must register again
before voting
If you have registered this spring and
live at the same place, next spring, OF
at the next general election and if you
have voted at the previous election, you
viii be able to vote without registering
again. If you move from the ward or
10 some other place in the ward, il viii
be necessary to register again, from the
new place 1t viii not be necessary to
register after this spring, If you register
now, providing you live at the same
place all the time and vote at every
election. When you stop voting your
name will be taken from the books and
you viii have to get It back on again,
by calling at the city clerks Office and
giving your name.

10000 TREES TO BE SET OUT
RECOKD-BREAKIHG KOVEMKNT IN TREK
CULTURE N SHERMAN COUNTY.
Young Forests Have Already Shown
Splendid Growth, and Some Farmers
Have Done Wonders With
Fruit Orchards.

More than 10, 900 trees viii make glad
the rich, tree-barren plains Of Sherman
county this year These will be the
1905 addition TO the thousands that al
ready dot the fields and surround the
homes Of our people.
V. ". Goodrich, the local tree man,
who has been taking large and numeT-
Gus orders from the people from over
the county, informs this paper that he
has ordered 8, 800 fruit and forest trees
tor his customers. TO say nothing of
grape vines and shrubbery, and is daily
making additional sales. This spirit Of
tree planting, which IS ever increasing,
promises to add much to the appear
ance and profit Of Sherman county
land
Tree culture IN western Kansas has
passed the experimental stage, and all
doubt as to its practibility has passed
away. People now buy trees not with
the fear that It IS a mere gamble, but
from the standpoint of a g1lt-edged in
vestment. They see that such improve
ments add not only TO the value of their
farms, but to the beauty and comfort Of
their homes.
That the culture OF the tree is to be
a factor IN the future development of
the plains is borne out by the advau-
tages that have already accrued TO
many Sherman county farmers. For
instance, IchabOd Warner, William
SexsOn, Jacob Trachsel, Lee Conquest
and many more, have young bearing
orchards on their farms. John WOlfrum
has a fine growing forest Of ten acres IN
the Rhine neighbOThOOd. A trip TO the
southwest part of this county will bring
to view another patch OF woods; and
here and there IN most any direction
from GOodland may be found these
evidences that give delight to the eye
and feeling of rest to the traveller.
The trees IN this country are IN the
bud now, some in blossom, and as soon
as the leaves are out, the town of Good
land viii in part at least nestle beneath
their shade.
No more lasting service can be done
by the inhabitants of the plains than to
raise up the beautiful and the helpful
tree

Composed OF sos Men a2d 155 Women
Who VIII Vote for City Omeers.
That unusual interest attaches to the
city election, which viii be held April
4, IS seen by the heavy registration.
-Four hundred and sixty-two eligible
voters are enrolled on the registration
books, Of which 3O5 are the names Of
men and Isl the names of women.
But the Isl women are not all that
could vote If they would Some are
opposed to taking any part IN politics,
preferring to leave that matter entirely
into the hands Of the husband or the
men folks, as the case may be. Hence
there are quite a member of women
eligible to vote that are not on the reg
istratiOn books
Two years ago when c. E. Swarts
was nominated and elected for mayor,
the registration and the voting was very
small and Just a little more than no in
terest was taken
But politics IS subject to tides and
sensitive to the changes of the moon.
A very few of the W. c. T. L. women
are afraid this year to trust the men on
the citizens ticket; and, besides them
selves, in whom Is no variableness nor
shadow of turning, they hope to elect
ali their masculine nominees.
The contest between the two tickets
IS not a fight that has much blood to
shed, however, and GOOdland viii still
be on the map after the election.

Governor HOch has announced the
following appointments:
Bank Commissioner-JOhn o. Royce,
PhiIlipsburg.
B. SchermeThOrn, Galena; H. 9. Bow
man, Newton; Sherman Elliott, Law
renee.
Woman Visiting Committee to Chair

Tully OF Independence; T. Q. Ballinger,
Burlington, to succeed 9. L. King of
EldOTadO.
Judge of the City Court of Wichita
Colonel J. L. Dyer.
The only position over which there
was a contest Of important was that Of
dldaCy was opposed by the boss bust
err element, who, II will be remember
ed, started. the ball rolling that resulted
IN HOch's nomination.
A year ago when the mass meeting Of
boss busters was held in Topeka,
Royce created a sensation by denOunc-
ing all of the state officers except Bailey.
He eulOgized Bailey and advocated his
denomination, but advised turning down
all of the other officers He also said
that if Mr.. Bailey was defeated the
other state officers ought to be turned
out with him. Later in the campaign
Royce fought about all Of the can il
dates for state Office except HOch. He
never consulted with the republican
state committee and made no pretense
of being friendly to any of the officials
Of the committee.
On the subject of the appointment of
Royce and his reasons for It, the gov
ernOr said:
Il believe him to be an able man and
think he will make a good bank com
missioner. His appointment has no
significance except my desire to favor a
loyal friend and to be consistent with
myself and to favor a man who has
stood by me through thick and thin for
fifteen years.
There are a great many people in the
Sixth district who will be glad of Royce S
appointment. His Topeka speech was
made at a time when his party in Kan
sas was divided against itself, and when
no one could tell what reorganization
would bring forth. And since he had
the spunk to speak his mind IN those
changing times, he cannot be "black
listed on that account.
IF he IS shrewd in politics, he IS every
whit as good as the fellows who are
after his scalp, and we are glad to see
