TO THE FARMER

We are not farmer, yet we have
farmed some and observed and read
more.
We purpose talking some plain
facts to the farmers of this commu-
nifty and offering some advice, not
of the purely theoretical variety,
but facts that have been CLEANED by
actual experience and observation.
Facts that have been demonstrated
to be facts by intelligent farmers as
we'll as by theoretical farmers in our
agricultural colleges.
First let us make prediction and
an assertion and appeal to the old
farmers of this vicinity for verifca-
ton.
The indications for a big corn
crop this year are the best we have
had for years. There has not been
a dry coal spring continuing well up
to Iune IN the last thirty years that
ha, not been good corn year.
Now you old grizzlies who have
scratched Kansas soil for that long
or longer, scratch your heads and
think if that is not true.
Further, do you remember very
wet April and May that were fol
lowed by heavy corn crop? The
reason is very apparent. In cool
dry spring the little corn plant grows
down instead of up. 1t sen ds its
tiny roots down deep into the soil
IN search of moisture. When the
dry weather of July and August
comes it is deeply rooted and draws
moisture from below. Of wet
spring the roots shoot out close to
the surface.
The corn makes phenominal
early growth. The farmer rushes
in with his cultivator on every dry
day and digs deep among the weeds
and grass, cutting off the lateral
roots of the corn and the young
plant turns yellow in the hot sun
and the yield is light. We have
known farmers to quit cultivating
their corn when the ground gets a
little dry in June. The dryer the
the ground the more the corn needs
cultivating.
The oftener you can cultivate the
corn, If properly done, in extreme
dry weather the better for the corn.
The theory is to keep the surface.

FAVORABLE TO PROHIBI

Topeka, May S.-Tho supreme
court Saturday handed down two
decisions upholding the constitu
tionality of certain provisions of the
prohibitory liquor law. The pro
hibitory liquor law of Kansas went
into effect the first day of May,
1881, and within sixty days there
after the supreme court, through
Judge Brewer, rendered its first
opinion on the validity and con-
structlon of the act. From that
time until now cases without mum
Der have been reviewed by that
court, and one would suppose that
there was nothing to be decided,
but it seems that there was still a
constitutional question left, and in
the case of the state uf Kansas, vs..
Durein the court through Justice
Burch has rendered an opinion set
ting that matter. Fritz Dureln was
granted rehearing on the question
whether the Kansas prohibitory law
is not violative of the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution Of
the United States because of the
discretion vested In probate judges
in granting permits to sell liquor for
medical, mechanical or scientific
purposes. The attorneys for Durein
took the position that the sale of
liquer for medical. mechanical aad
scientific purposes cannot be pro-
hibitsd by the legislature; that such
a prohibition would transcend even
the power of the people themselves
acting In a constitutional conven
ton, that intoxicating liquor, where
used for medical, mechanical and
scientific purposes, is esseatisl to
the welfare Of the people, and is a
lawful and innocent commodity
which the Law must protect, that
permit to sell it for the purposes
named is q matter of right and a
statute which gives a probate judge
power to refuse such q permit is
void.
The supreme court held contrary
TO this contention, and went so far
a. to say that the legislature might
absolutely prohibit the manufacture

THE CHICAGO STRIKE

Conditions are some what better
in the windy city. The numerous
police and deputy sheritts have
somewhat awed the lawless element
There has been some desultory
fighting in the outskirts but no muir
ders committed for several days
There is now talk Of other unions
going out on a sympathetic strike.
Such a move would only complicate
and make worse bad matter.
The employers of Chicago, after
standing much annoyanc from
these beligerent teamsters have nm
ally got their heads together and
pooled issues and are not longer
going to stand for this domination
hf their business by their employees.
The employers have started in to
run their own business for a while
and if we mistake not their spirit
they will do it if it takes the whole
strength of the government to pro-
tect them in their rights. Riots
and murder are not the free born
rights of an American citizen and
it is the duty of government to pro-
tect the citizen in his personal
rights. When any union becomes
dominated by the lawless and vicious
element it is not worthy of respect
or consideration.
The british teamsters of Chicago
who so cruelty beat and MANNED
many honest laboring men who were
only filling places they had aban'
doned, striving to earn an honest
living for themselves and dependent
families, deserve the severest penal
ties of the law. This is not union
ism but anarchy in the worst form.
They would trample underfeot all
law, even to the taking of life, In
order to carry their point. No
union composed of honest self re-
specting free American citizens can
ever countenance these barbarlties
or give aid and comfort to union
that adopts such methods. The
laws of our country of society and
of common decency demand that
all such actions be suppressed and
the perpetrators thereof sumarily
dealt with.

as thoroughly pulverlzsd as possible,
thereby breaking up evaporation
from below. Don't cultivate deep,
at least after the first cultivation.
Don't ridge up or plow close to the
plant after the first cultivation.
Keep the corn ground as level as
possible after dry weather sets In.
Lay the corn ground by as level
and finely pulverized as possible.
The big harrow is the best cult
vator made for about two cultivat-
ings if used before the weeds get
two much of a start. Cultivators
with small shovels and plenty OF
them that do not run too deep are
the proper implement. They destroy
the weeds without cuttingplantroots.
They pulverize the soil better and
leave the ground more nearly level,
thus preserving the moisture and
not exposing such surface to the
winds for evaporation.
These theories are not new but
old and proven to be correct By
many of the best farmers, as well
as by all our experiment stations.
Yet, there are many of our farmers
who do not cultivate In this manner.
They seem to think the closer they
can get to the corn and the higher
they can throw the dirt around il
the better. Particularly in laying
by the corn is this true. This last
blowing is where much damage i;
done to yield.
Now to the farmer who has no
adopted these methods of cultiva.
ton we would say "try them" Dc
not travel in the old ruts just be
cause you have followed them Sc
long i: is difficult to get out.
Do not sneer at the editor of thi
paper and ask what he knows abou
farming, and turn from this advic'
and still pied along en- the old lines
If you are not convinced, try tn
experiment on one part of a fielt
and cultivate the other part the ol'
way, then notice carefully the yield
The extra sized and well filled GU
ears on the piece that is properl
cultivated will convince you wit
one trial and you will ever afte
use the improved me'hoi.
We will be glad to hear from an
farmer on these questions and b
pleased to give room to his thought
and suggestions whether they agre
with us or not. Come, let us dis
cuss this matter of the cultivation
of corn. We firmly believe tn
average yield, of an ordinary sea
son can be increased at least fv
bushels to the acre by proper cult
vation. Think how much none
that would mean to the community
1t is at least worth trying since
costs nothing but some shattere'
ideas of the past, and promise
much.
