Henry Bradshaw Talks OF Crops,
Drainage and Good Roads.

Henry Bradshaw was in town on
business last Friday morning and Mr..
Bradshaw has large amount of busi-
ness to look after outside his banking
and local interests at Worthing. He
is a large owner of real estate, both
improved and unimproved and owns
many valuable farms in Lincoln coun-
ty. Mr.. Bradshaw stated that corps
were turning out better than expect
ed and prices were higher than ever
before consequently the farmer Is
sailing along on wave Of genuine
prosperity and labor was never in
greater demand or better paid. Our
farms will not produce as much this
year as is other years and we know
the reason, but in a lesser amount
per acre will / believe, average high
as wealth producer when we consid.
er the higher prices paid.
| On the matter Of drainage and good
roads Mr. Bradshaw expressed himself
freely. The question of adequate
drainage is no longer discussed as a
theory. Our valuable farm lands,
when flooded, must be drained. The
desire in this direction has become. a
pressing necessity, and am delight.
ed with the fine drainage system und-
er construction in Grant and other
townships.
On the question Of good roads am
also an earnest advocate, said Mr..
Bradshaw, and believe the time has
come when we must adopt system
| which will render our road work OF
some permanent value. Out at
Worthing we are figuring on paying
road tax in cash and with this cash
hire practical ditcher who will be
assigned section of land and he will
ditch around that entire section and
improve the road at the same time,
and Mr.. Bradshaw said that if one or
two years tax was not enough to make
the improvement necessary on his
lines he was willing to advance two or
three years taxes to accomplish the
result. Our present system Of work
ing roads is simply killing time and
throwing our money away, besides
the government is demanding better
roads good roads for the rural mail
service and where roads are not in
condition to meet the requirements
of government inspectors mail route
service may be discontinued and the
old system Of local post offices esta-
blished again.
If our township road overseers
would begin a system Of permanent
road improvement, it would not take
long until the roads Of the county
would show the improvement we all
desire SO much.

Seed Bed For Winter Wheat.

Wallace'S Farmer; AS far as we
can ascertain the winter wheat crop
east of the Missouri river is the most
certain and reliable crop this year, as
far as we can judge now; and we be-
lieve that when the record of the
years crop is furnished it will be
found that winter wheat has been the
the best crop both yield and price
that the farmer has gathered this
year.
A farmer in Illinois writes us that
the yield from Turkish Red, seed of
which was furnished him by Wallrces
Farmer, will run fifty bushes to the
acre on thirty acres. Estimates Of
forty bushels come even from central
Iowa. Inasmuch as wheat will COM
mand high price this year, many
farmers will be tempted to SOW still
larger areas To these we wish to
give a word of advice.
Don't SOW winter wheat unless you
have the seed bed property prepared.
boh v oOW CLuy DoC SdIACClCo OLdO di Z
unquestionably hardy in your neigh
borhood. Don't sow any winter wheat
later than the fifth of October. If you
cannot get the seed bed properly pre-
pared and the ground in first-class
physical condition, don't SOW it at all.
How to prepare the ground: If you
are sowing it on winter wheat stubble
which we do not advise, or on oats or
barley stubble, the first thing to do
is to get good disk, put on enough
horses and disk it thoroughly, tapping
half. Do this just as soon as you get
your shock off the field: always OF
course, when the ground is in good
working condition; never when it is
wet, Do it if possible when the
ground works well. Ifdisking should
leave the land lumpy, go over it with

A CORPORATION FEELER.
The Chicago Tribune Has Very Kindly Laid Roosevelt
On The Shelf And Seeks Corporation
Candidate For President

there will be corporation influence
enough to defeat his nomination
after the favorite son game has been
played out.
President Roosevelt is in the prime
of life, magnificently vigorous in
mind and body, and four years
more would not impair his health or
his splendid executive abilities.
Neither Cannon, Fairbanks or Knox
represent the Presidents policy
Hughes and Taft would, but can YOU
nominate either of them? The great
common people of the nation want
Roosevelt and they may be cheated
out of their honest and sincere desire,
but the republican party will rue the
day that political trickery defeats the
peoples idol.
The LEADER s first and only choice
for president Is Theodore Roosevelt.
Ii another is chosen, it will make
little difference in the general result,
because the corporations will have
succeeded in defeating the only pre-
sident who has been able to demon
strate what square deal means, and
in that defeat much of the great
work already accomplished will be
nullitied by do-nothing policy.
In the broadcast sense let us say for
illustration, that we have an other
choice for president, and in this it
would be difficult to determine be-
tween Gen. Taft and Governor
Hughes of New York. Both are able,
competent, magnificent men. but the
old "if' arises to confuse and distract,
If the corporation forces are able to
defeat the will of the people and lay
aside our square deal champion it
does not seem possible for Taft or
Hughes to succeed, and in their de-
feat can corporation candidate win?
If not. who then? And this brings
us back to Roosevelt as the only safe
and logical candidate.
1t may not be shifting the question
| raised by the Tribune too far to say
that that battle named Champion
jurist, Judge Lands, may loom up as
presidential timber and would easily
make the best vice president found
for many years, but tie people could
hardly afford to dispense with his
great services on the bench. We
would rather see Judge Lands on the
supreme bench than in the vice pre-
sident's chair, and we would be pleas
ed to see him succeed our great square
deal champion four years hence, for
he seems to be a second Roosevelt, in
courage and in love of justice.
Our answer to the Tribune may
not be satisfactory but it is quite
satisfactory to the writer, and in a
fair estimate represents nine to ten
of the republicans of South Dakota.
The National Convention will nom-
mate Theodore Roosevelt for a second
time for the Office of President, and
he will accept, because no patriot
could refuse to serve his country
under such a call.
South Dakota will send Roosevelt
delegation to the National Conven-
tion.

The following communication was
received this week from the editorial
department of the Chicago Tribune,
and it is not necessary to hire Phil
adelphia lawyer to interpret the
meaning of the opposition to Presid.
ent Roosevelt and the Tribune's love
for Uncle Joe and others of the cor,
poration stand-pat brand:
My Dear Sir: President Roosevelt
definitely has declined to accept re-
nomination for the presidency and
has declared himself unalterably op-
posed to third term
For the purpose of ascertaining the
sentiment of the republicans of the
middle western states regarding Pre-
sjdent Roosevelt's' policies and their
choice for his successor. The Tribune
requests your answers to the follow
ing questions:
l. Do you approve the progressive
policies Of the President?
2. Do you prefer candidate of the
progressive school for his successor or
a man of more conservative views?
B. OF the following suggested nom-
inees,
Cannon,
Fairbanks,
Knox,
Hughes,
Taft,
which is your
First choice,
Second choice,
Third choice,
4. Have you any other candidate
in mind? If so, what are the qualifi-
cations that should make him stan
dard bearer of the Republican party?
We enclose stamped envelope for
your..reply, and for your convenience,
a form quoting our questions which
we would like you to use in making
your reply.
Very turly yours,
Tribune.
The President cannot decline re-
nomination because it has not been
rendered him, and he is no more op-
posed to a third term than any other
champion Of the unwritten law, but
he could accept second term if the
republican party in convention assem-
bled see fit to insist upon it, and the
impression prevails everywhere that
President Roosevelt will be drafted
into the service Of his county for a
second term. The third term howl
is corporation foot ball and handy
for men who desire to be-cloud the
real issue.
None of his friends believe that the
President Is a candidate or desires
to be candidate in 1908, but the
American people are certainly
worth considering and their wishes no
man can we'll refuse. The trusts and
corporations do not want President
Roosevelt to finish up the great work
he has so well in hand, and the Tri-
bune's list of candidates indicates
this quite plainly. Trading politi-
clans may be able to defeat the re-
nomination of President Roose-
velt at the beginning of the National
Convention, but we do not believe

your harrow or roller.
This is is the first thing to do and
Should never be neglected Why? Be-
cause this disking will furnish you
with mulch Of loose dirt. which is
quite as essential in preparing the
seed bed for winter wheat as it is in
preparing the seed bed for corn, or
maintaining the propergrowing condi-
tions after it is planted 1t is to fur
nish this mulch of loose dirt as well
as to kill weeds that you plow your
corn.
This mulch once established, COM
niece a few days afterwards to plow
your land. You will find that it
breaks up nicely because the mulch
has prevented the evaporation of wat
er and increased the moisture by the
increased capillary action just below
the formation of cracks in the soil,
which, as we have often pointed out,
are the outlines of clodS. In fact,
clods are the resulting of the cracking
of the soil, which pulls together by
the evaporation of water from the
surface. If there is any evidence of
clod formation, let the harrow follow
the piow and mellow down these clods
before the August suns make them so
hard that the harrow will not affect
them.
Go over your land once week with
the harrow or disk, whichever does
the best work, until you are ready to
sow. Why? Because by doing SO you
will kill the weeds and any volunteer
grain that may come up particularly
wheat or rye, If on stubble of these
crops: you will bring the lower part
of the furrow in close physical connec-
tion with the subsoil, and you will
provide the conditions necessary for
prompt termination of the wseat
