Reassuring Figures.

The productions of the United
States on the farms and in the fac
tories and mines has reached a total
in value never attained before. Ac-
cording to the careful calculation of
the Agricultural Department. the
farms this year have yielded $7,40O,-
100000, which is the record. The gov
ernment Bureau of Manufactures es.
Inmates the total production of the
country in that line in 1907 at $15,-
600, 100000. From the Interior De.
partment comes the statement that
the mines of the United States in the
last fiscal year yielded S1,902, 900, 900.
Here is total Of more than $24 ,OO0.-
600, 900 year taken from the soil or
turned out in the factories. Among
the minerals for the year was $780,
OOO,O in gold and silver, two-thirds
of which was in gold. But this item
looks small compared with the $513,-
100000 output in coal and S5O5, 900, ,0oO
in iron. Add to these the figures of
trade, commerce and transportation
and the aggregate goes beyond any
thing ever known in the history of
any other country.
A people thus situated are far re-
moved from justifiable panic. Some
thing in the machinery that governs
the exchange of commodities may be
out of adjustment, but the trouble can
be sought and corrected without un.
due excitement. 1t Is madness in a
people transacting a business Of such
magnitude to rush at the banks and
demand payment in full under any
circumstances. The banks share in
the prosperity Of the period. They
make their profit by lending money,
and divide their gains with the people
by paying interest on deposits. Bank
runs and boarding are weapons by
which depositors belabor themselves.
Why any panici in 1907? Something OF
the kind may have been due among
stock gamblers, but the masses have
had no reasonable occasion for it.
They are producing more wealth than
ever before.

Plant Trees.

The planting and growing of timber
should be considered by every farmer
in the state. The day is not far away
when fence posts and even common
lum ber will be hard to get at any price.
Every farmer in the state should pre-
pare to plant five or ten acres to trees,
a rapid growing variety and of some
value for lumber as well as tirewood.
Eastern Iowa is beginning to husband
it's tirewood and ask high prices. Any
farmer in this state who has healthy
grove of timber is in shape to supply
his own fuel SO far as wood goes, and
furnish fence posts and rough lumber,
but how many are in shape to do this!
The government and governors of all
states are beginning to move for re-
planting of timber as the danger of a
fuel famine becomes more apparent
every year. Ten acres of young tim.
Der would be the most valuable crop a
Lincoln county farmer could plant.

Tree Planters Discover Good
Qualities In Norway
pnnIor
Poplar.

FOREST SERVICE, WASHINGTON.
Tree planters throughout the north
ern portion of the middle west have
had brought to their attention late
ly the extraordinary value of the Nor
way poplar, near relative of the
common cottonwood, which possesses
fine qualities that bid fair to raise
the prestige of the whole cotton wood
family.
This cottonwood is shrouded in mys-
terry, so far as its origin is concerned.
1t bears no cotton and is reproduced
entirely from cuttings. The tree
grows straight and lean and it is said
that the bark never scalds or cracks.
The wood Is straight-grained and
suitable for lumber. 1t splits easily,
seasons quickly, and makes excellent
fuel.
The Norway poplar grows very ra-
pidly. In Minnesota it has been
known to grow SO feet high with q
diameter Of II inches In IA years. 1t
makes good shade tree, retaining
its leaves until late In the autumn, and
on account of its rapid growth should
prove very desirable for windbreaks
and shelterbelts. So far as is known
at present, this tree is perfectly hardy
and will grow under variety OF soil
and moisture conditions. 1t seems,
howe yer, to respond quickly by in
creased growth to cultivation and
care.
The advantage which the Norway
holds over the Carolina poplar, one OF
the most popular of cottonwoods is
chiefly in its greater hardness, bet
ter form, and the seemingly superior
quality of it's wood is shown in pre-
liminary studies made by the United
States Forest Service. 1t will be
some time before the Norway poplar
will be available for widespread plant
ing, since cuttings Of the true variety
are at present very scarce and hard
| to obtain.

IT WILL Be ROOSEVELT.
Northwestern Senator Says Re-
publican National Convention
Will Nominate Roosevelt
by AcclamatiOn.

Washington, Dec. 10: A great wave
of popular sentiment demanding the
denomination and re election of Presi-
dent Roosevelt is to sweep over the
country, according to statements
made in Washington today. Now
that the national committee has fixed
the time and place for the holding of
the next convention, the contest be-
tween the people and the politicians
will begin, and the line of battle is
being formed. The president, in
answer to each and all who talk of his
denomination, says:
"No, no, l am not candidate, Z"
and those who are vigorously oppos-
ing him are busy as bees exploiting
the statement that the president is
out of it for good. But despite all of
this the Roosevelt sentiment is
stronger than eyer, and the onslaught
that is being made on him by his en-
emies who are undertaking to make
the people believe that the president
is responsible for the existing finan-
cial conditions will, it is claimed, add
to his strength with the masses.
A prominent United States senator
from a Northwestern state said this
morning:
"Do you want a safe and reliable
prediction of the outcome of the next
national republican convention? The
masses of the republican party believe
In Mr.. Roosevelt and what he has &C
complished in the way of honest and
sincere reform. For every man who
is knocking and Kicking about the al
legged panic which was the result of
stock speculations, there are ten men
who will stand by the president for
exposing and undertaking to correct
the evils of the wild and irresponsible
as we'll as dishonest methods of those
who make it a business to bull or bear
the markets. am firm in the opin-
ion that President Roosevelt will be
nominated by acclamation.
"He is not candidate, has been
consistent in saying so, but the char
acter of the fight that is being made
against him personally will make him
the nominee despite everything. And
| just remember this Mr.. Roosevelt is
not gutter, neither is he the man
to finch under fire.

A Perplexed Schoolma'am.

A schoolma' am in Missouri, after
writing that she finds Wallaces'
Farmer great help in teaching agri-
culture in her school, says:
Recently the question arose as to
what principles the leading crops of
our section of the country put into
the soil and also what each took out.
Our crops are corn, clover, oats and
wheat. Corn takes opt nitrogen; what
element does it put into the soil?
Clover puts in nitrogen; what element
does it take out? Dc wheat and oats
take out nitrogen? If not, what dc
they take out and what do they put
in? 1 have not been able to secure
the desired information, so appeal to
you"
Like the blind man whom the
Saviour healed, our Missouri friend
evidently sees linen as trees walking. .

Richard Edwards Dead.

In the death OF "Dick" Edwards
one of the early Canton settlers has
passed away. The writer had known
Dick for over 80 years, and during all
these years he had been resident Of
Canton.
About two years ago Dick went out
to Lyman county and filed on home
stead and was accompanied by his
son, Hugh, and his two daughters,
Leah and Nellie, Howard remaining
at home with his mother. Dicks
Canton friends were not aware that
he was sick and the news Of his death
came as great surprise; heart trou BILE
was responsible for his sudden death.
Dick was born In CuJhhoga county,
Ohio, on the 2sth Of February, 1850.
His mother died when he was an in
fant and he lost his father when but
five years old. He was tenderly cared
for and raised by his aunt, Mrs. Ma ry
Edwards, of Palmyra, Ohio, mother
OF T. w. Edwards of Watertown, this
state, his mother and Toms mother
being sisters At the age OF Is he
came west to Illinois and at II he re-
moved to hardwood and came to
Canton In 1871, and was married in
1877 to Miss Tobitha Hart. He died
on Wednesday, December 4, at Dra-
per, Lyman county, the body arriving
here Sunday, being delayed two days
at Oacoma on account of broken com
munication by rail. The funeral took
place from the Congregational church
Sunday at 3 o'clock, and the service
was conducted by Rev. G. S. Evans in
the presence of a church full Of friends,
for every old timer knew Dick Ed
wards, and his casket was covered
with flowers by loving friends.
He was member Of the Yeomen
order and the service at the grave
was conducted by members Of the So
ciety.
He carried % 900 insurance In the
Yeomen order which will be paid to
the widow.
The writer and a host Of old friends
extend sympathy to the widow and
his family.

she sees. Clear vision will come to
her, as to all of us, on all questions,
in time, if we but keep our eyes open.
BY "principles" she evidently means
the elements of fertility, and seems
to be under the impression that the
crops mentioned while taking some
thing out of the soil also put some
thing back. She evidently wishes to
know what particular elements are
taken out and what are put back.
If she will take a sample of any
kind of crop, weigh 1t, kiln dry 1T in
the oven and weigh it again, she will
find the amount of water it contained.
If then she will burn it and weigh
what remains, she will find the amount
of the ash, made up Of number Of
mineral elements, of which the most
important are potash, phosphorus and
lime. This all came from the soil,
and is the only part of the plant that
originally came from the soil. The
rest came from the air, and existed in
the soil as vegetable matter-humus-
only because they are the remains of
former plant life. The soil Is the
graveyard Of previous vegetation, and
the richer the soil the fatter the grave
yard. That portion of the plant which
originally came from the air is mainly
nitrogen (without which neither plant
nor animal can exist, and which forms
the muscles, blood, hair, etc., and car
bon in it's various forms, which after
combustion in the animal or out of it
furnishes heat.
Glover is the only one of the plants
mentioned by our correspondent
which is able to obtain nitrogen from
the atmosphere, which it does thru
the minute forms of bacterial life ex-
listing on it's roots. All of the plants
mentioned obtain carbon which makes
up the bulk of the plant, from the air
through the leaves. Therefore all
these plants take their carbon from
the air and to some extent from the
decayed vegetation in the soil. Glover
obtains it's nitrogen from the air and
from the vegetable matter in the soil
which contains nitrogen. In fact,
most of the nitrogen in the soil is in
com bination with other elements in
the humus: and hence when the sup
ply of mineral elements is sufficient,
the percentage of vegetable matter in
the soil is the measure OF it's potential
or possible fertility.
1t is evident that the plant cannot
return to the soil anything more than
is in it. Hence all these crops when
removed from the soil return to 1t
i.only what remains In the stubble and
in the root. None Of them put back
into it anything except their remains.
Glover puts nitrogen In the soil be-
cause it is able to get nitrogen from
the air, which the other plants do not.
We hope we have made this clear,
and want to express our qualification
that we are beginning to receive

This indiscriminate giving enables
