Henry Jaehning came up from
New Richland last Thursday morn
ing and visited for a few days with
his son. George A. Jaehning.
The grade across Ramsey creek,
directly west Of the city, was under
a foot or more of water during the
last days of the rainy season, and
travellers were obliged to use a
great deal of caution in crossing
the same.
Next Saturday evening is the an
nual school meeting in all of the
districts of the state, and people
interested in school matters should
be present to see that their inter
ests are protected. In this city two
directors are to be elected to sue
coed JohnH H. Bowers and John 2.
Cooper, whos will be candidates tc
succeed themselves.
The wet weather lessons the hay
crop materially, as well as the
growing grain crop. Herman Wer-
der reports that on his large farm
in New Avon be will be unable to
cut more thanitwo or three tons OF
hay. all of his meadow land being
under from two to three feet OF
water. Every other farm in Red
wood county similarly located is in
about the same condition and the
indications are that the hay crop
will be materially reduced this
year.
The FourthIwas observed in Red
wood Falls, without accident. Only
few fingers were burned slightly
and the boy owners remarked that
if it hadn t happened they wouldn I
really have enjoyed the day. The
explosion of cannon fire crackers
was kept down ito minimum and
the few that were touched off were
exploded in safe places. No prop
erty was damaged by them and nc
fires originated from the discharge
of crackers, candles or skyrockets
The elder people remarked that il
was very sane Fourth.

last week, where he has been spend

FEEDER ON IRRIGATION.

Congressman Reeder, of this dis
trlct, has been saying good things to
the press about western Kansas. He
is of the opinion that the government
irrigation experiment at Garden City
will never be made. 1.-The owners of
the land must contract with the gov
eminent to take the water" said Mr..
Reeder the other day, sbefore any
thing will be done by the interior de-
partment. The first provision of the
law is that the experiments shall not
cost the government anything; the
only way the expense can be met is by
the farmers contracting to take the
water and the contract Is about the
same as mortgage. The only differ
ence is that, under mortgage, a far
mer knows exactly what his indebted
ness is, while he doesn't know how
much his water bill will be The far
mers will be slow to sign such con-
tracts and if large per cent OF them
fail to do so the government will drop

the project. We had similar deal
on for Russell county, in my district,
but the farmers were afraid of the
oned the matter.
''As a matter of fact" says Reeder,
western Kansas will not be under
ditch until Illinois OF Iowa or other
central states are, and they won't be
irrigating until it is necessary to raise
some special crop. Irrigation is not
carried on in dry sections only. Wet
countries irrigate, also. For instance,
they irrigate in Florida, where the
rainfall is probably greater than in
any other state. They want to pro-
duce certain Things there and the
rainfall comes at the wrong time. so
they Irrigate. They will be dong the
same thing in Illinois and Iowa and
other central states some time.
''The only crop that needs irriga-
tion in western Kansas is sugar beets,
and 1T will be many years before that
crop amounts to anything. As long
as farmers can raise wheat and corn
protitably they are not going to fool
with sugar beets. 1t is easier to pro-
duce wheat and corn. There was Il
time when we couldn't raise much
wheat and corn in the west but that
time has passed. We have found out
how to farm that country now, and
the rainfall has changed. 1t used to
rain all in bunch and then stay dry
for long while. We would be flooded
one day and dry the next month. as
flood waters soon run off. The clouds
would sail east from the Rocky Noun
tains and never give up The moisture
gradually, but would turn it all loose
in a bunch at one place. Now we
have gentle soaking rains all over the
west. Cloud bursts and floods no lon
ger trouble us. l don't know what
has brought about this change unless
it is the development of the country
south of u.s."

Secretary Coburn, of the Depart
ment of Agricultural for Kansas, is
elated because of the recognition of
Kansas hard wheat and flour in the
European markets. He says that sew
eral years ago some of the northwest
ern mIllers widely advertised that
Kansas wheat was not used in the
making of their flour, leaving the in
ference that Kansas wheats, being in
ferior, were not wanted. ''This," said
Mr.. Coburn, twas probably inspired
by jealousy because of the inroads
flour made by Kansas hard wheat was
making in their markets. Investiga-
tion revealed, however, that while
northwestern millers were publicly
belittling Kansas wheat, they were
secretly buying it by the wholesale to
blend with their spring wheat"

The whlrlgig of politics brings up
some curious situations. The fire.
quent mention of the names of Hoch
and Royce in the papers brings to
mind at this time situation in strik
ing contrast to the position these
same two men held only little over
two years ago. 1t is not much more
than the length of time since HOch
was defeated for State printer. In
that contest Royce was his ''feld
marshall" and the defeat of Hoch
really proved on his mind worse than
it did on Hoch. The present Cover

to work at the case in the Record Of
fee, give up all personal and political
ambition and determined to forget
this disappointment in daily task OF
hard work. Royce was licked, was
also equally far removed from the
limelight of the arena of State poll
tics, and was resigned to his fate.
Now the scene is changed. Hoch is
in the highest elective office in the

THE HITCHITGS METHOD.

The "Hitchings" method OF orchard
culture. as it is called. has excited very
wide attention, because it has shown
results which have not been equalled
by ordinary methods. not even by the
improved methods OF the most adj
vanCed scientists The Rural New
Yorker thus tells how it is:
Mr.. Hitchings does not plOw or cult
vate his orchards. His soil is naturally
strong. and is well adapted to fruit
growing The trees are planted in
sod, and are kept "mulched is.
a covering Of manure. straw. grass. or
whatever IS available. is put around
them. As the grass in the orchard
grows it is cut with moving machine
and left TO decay on the ground. II Is
not cured and taken out as hay.
Manure, straw. or other organic mate
rial is hauled in and spread over tho
surface OF the ground. The object OF
this is 20 add organic matter to the
soil and prevent the evaporation OF
moisturP. The thick covering OF grass
and weeds on III" surface keeps the
soil cool and moist. giving an ideal
condition for apple roots. TIE constant
supply OF humus or organic matter in
the soil holds moisture. while its slow
decay aids somewhat in making tho
fertility in the soil available. Under
this system there is no loss Of fertility
except that removed in the crop Of APP
pies. The trees grown on this plan
are peculiar in shape. They do not ~
a rule make as much wood growth ~
the cultivated trees. and the limbs APP
pear to sprawl out instead OF growing
erect But little pruning il done un.
der this system-Slmply cutting out
branches which tend 10 interfere with
others. This mulch method" must
not be confused with ordinary sod
culture" where the grass il cut in the
orchard and hauled out for hay. or
where hogs or sheep are pastured. The
advantages OF this mulch method are
evident. one man can care for
large number OF trees. II is well suited
to rough and steep hillside. wtich
makes excellent location for apples
but can not be cultivated at reasonable
expense. The fruit grown in this way

keeping quality usually than that from
cultivated orchards The chief objec.
ton Is the danger from fire when the
mulch t. dry. though this is not serious
at the season whea such fires are most
likely to occur.

which are generally poisonous. are
purified by the action of dsinfectants.
The can is. first of all, fitted with a
double lid. one resting on the top of
the can and the other on hange few
inches below the top. While this makes

The SpaC" between the two lids i utl-
lied for the storage of n couple of small
tanks, designed to contain any one OF
the many disinfectants which are suit

lined with zinc. which resists the aC-
ton of any of these articles They
are readily tilled by unscrewing a cap
and If the receptacle is about half filed
there is no possibility OF the contents
being spilled. One OF these tanks has
an opening leading out into the bucket
and has a direct action on the contents
OF the can, while the other one opens
into the space between the two lids
and acts upon the air which may pos
sibly have escaped through the first lid
by this arrangement the only two
spaces whore the elements OF danger
can possibly lurk are treated separate

All the Transfers She Had.

As a bcvy OF laughing girls rose to
get of a street car the other day at
point where transfers are given. they
were followed by a demure young
woman who had been absorbed in a
novel. Just before she alshted she
asked the conductor for transfer, and
he, thinking all the girls were of one
party, gave her six. which she took
without noticing and held in her hand
as she stood on the corner waiting for
her car, the other girls having gone on
walking. When the reader got her car
she took Il seat and was soon lost again
IN her novel. Then the conductor came
up and she held out the pink slips. He
took them, counted them. and then
