LOCAL OPTION SAFE.

The Anti.Saloon League, of this county,
recently put the questions to all local legis.
lative candidates, first, Will you support
the present local option law for this county
and second, viii you support law SUBJ
hitting the question of local option to the
voters Of each county of the State by your
vote in the Legislature The States Attor-
neys and Sherifs have been asked il they
will prosecute all violations of the local op.
ton law coming within their knowledgeP
The candidates of both the Democratic
and Republican parties have responded to
these questions, which were presented In
circular form, without hesitancy, yes.
This conclusion Of the candidates removes
the whiskey question entirely from the cam.
paign as an issue and relieves those voters
who may have been apprehensive that the
law was in danger of repeal or that it might
be modified in some degree.

PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN

The progress Of the campaign has de-
Veloped nothing new in the arguments or
the tactics Of our Republican opponents.
The election law seems to be the special OBJ
ject OF attack, and the heavy ordnance and
the small arms are concentrated upon 1t in
a savage effort to make breach. But IL
has withstood the onslaught, and will con-
tinue to do 30 until the end of the battle.
1t Is frankly conceded that some Of the minor
details of the law need amendment, but It's
general purpose and the principle under
lying 1t are stoutly defended by Democrats
who understand the case, and they are will.
ing to trust the common sense of the people
on this question.
Mr.. Gather, Of course, continues to be the
subject Of rather unreasoning and hyster.
ical adulation, but 1t has been manifest from
the first that q party with nothing but one
man to shout about could not awaken the
interest Of the people. They know very
we'll that the real leadership Of the Repub
lican party is in men who have little sym
pathy with men of Mr.. Gathers tastes and
temperament, and the suggestion that Mr.
Gather should be elected along with q
Democratic legislature is one Of those far.
drawn Authorizations which deceives no
one, and only serves to render the entire
Republican contention ridiculous. Any one
who has observed, even specifically, the
history Of politics knows that the chances
are not one in thousand that such a result
could be obtained, and to suppose for an
instant that the present leaders Of the Re-
publican party would permit such an out
come is to tax credulity to the breaking
point. The suggestion lacks even the merit
OF political adroitness, because it Is address.
ed not to the rank and file who adhere to
party lines In any weather, but to that class
of people who think for themselves and
know that confusion would spring from
such q combination, and that confusion
spells disaster TO the interests of the masses.
In fact 1t smacks Of the weakness of dis
pair-the grasping OF drowning man for
a straw.
But the middle of the campaign has dis
tinct signs of cheer for the Democrats
Throughout the State the gains In registra.
tion have been marked. This shows an In
terest in the election such as has not been
exhibited for a number Of years, and, indie.
peudently of its bearing upon party success
1t is source Of congratulation. 1t demon.
strates that when the Democratic party oil
Maryland stands upon sound principles and
dominates men whose characters command
respect, 1t is invlncible.
We are glad to note. that the remaining
three weeks of the campaign in Montgom.
cry are to be weeks of active, earnest efforI
to bring the voters to the polls. ibis is al
it should be, and we have no doubt that tn,
county will roll up an old.time majority.

Summer Culture to Conserve
Moisture.
HINTS FOR rlAISs SETTLERS.
Lrw. n oLrs.

IlNs ". otis.
Many hundred farmers. unfamiliar
with the soil and climatic conditions Of
our eastern plains, are this year coming
to make homes on 100 acre farms in
Eastern Colorado in regions where crops
have not been generally grown. Many
OF these settlers have but limited n
mount Of money and can not afford Il
crop failure. II Is to be feared that
this spring crops will be only partially
successful. since many of them are
farming as they did "back home" and
are not using drouth.resistant crops Of
demonstrated value In their farming
operations This timely suggestion is
sent out to prevent crop failure in fall
seeding. Preparation Of seed bed is
the most important thing In farming
the non-irrlgatcd lands, and MS soon ms
spring crops are In, the new settler
should plow and cultivate his field he
expects to seed to fall crops, or the fol-
lowing springs grain.
Summer culture 10 an essential Of the
Eastern Colorado farmers success. The
French found some centuries ago that
"mannuycring the land causing the
particles Of earth TO change place by
tillagc made II more productive. Es-
pcriments now show that summer Ill.

the earth mulch entirely away. If pos
sible, stir the surface soil with good
spike-tooth or acme harrow several
times through the summer from two to
four inches deep. Follow every sum-
mer rain with a good narrowing of this
Summer cultured" ground, preventing
the formation Of Il crust at the surface.
Keep this ground clean-free from
weeds.
Ground that has been well cultivated
FOR several years will produce two crops
n three years on well-tilled soil. If
'armer expects to cultivate 80 acres, he
should divide it into two crop divisions
cropping 40 acres the first year and
giving the summer culture to the other
10 acres. This gives him crop on one
half his land each year while he is stor-
ing up moisture in the soil reservoir Of
the other half to make the next years
crop. A farmer on the non-irrigatcd
lands in Weld county last season. after
seeding his spf.rg crop, 1t once pre-
pared his fall wheat seed bed $50 acres
The writer visited his field early in July
and found his seed bed in fine mellow
moist condition for seeding. Just few
miles from this careful farmers ranch
was 500a field which had been
simply plowed and left in that condi-
ton to dry out and become hard. Al
though an inch Of rain had fallen the
week previous, the writer found the
soil in this field In vsry poor mechanical
condition dry and hard. This clearly
shows how not TO do. Farmer No.
now has most promising field ofwhcat
and will undoubtedly be rewarded with
satisfactory harvest.
One OF the writer's correspondents,
living ten miles south Of Akron, Colo,
has practiced summer culture for sew
eral years. He reports that in the fall.
when he seeds his summer cultured land
he often finds from three to five feet Of
moisture.
The writer knows that this method
of summer culture has been practieei
in some parts Of California for upwards
Of forty years with satisfactory results
Use every practical method you can
to conserve the moisture.
Summer culture keeps the ground in
good tilth. keeps down weeds, renders
the plant food easily available for tie
next years crop, while II stores up the
moisture so necessary 10 the plant in
its food.
