THE NEW WARFARE.

The United States with the rest of the great nations has been spending a barrel of money on warships. Now we are beginning to realize that all these ships may not be worth much more than old junk. The latest in warfare is the airship and not the war ship. Count Zeppelin of Germany has invent ed dirigible balloon which can carry aerial torpedoes that would sink fleet of war ships in no time. With our aeroplanes and our balloons loaded with explosives to drop at the right time, fortresses and battle ships would be of very little use. Germany is talk ing the lead of the nations in providing for this fight in the air and in Berlin already they have an Aerial Navy League. A Swede named Col Unge has invented new aerial torpedo to be used in bringing down the air ship or in shooting from it. They are also making their war balloons in sections so that if one section should be pierced the other sections, would still keep their ship afoat in the ether. It is a pity that the nations do not all give up this idea of war and fall back on arbitration as the only Christian way to settle all quarrels. It is all nonsense to waste so much good money in prep aration for war when all the countries

THE OUTLOOK.
THE AMERICAN FARMER FEEDS
 THE WORLD.

THE WORLD.
 It is quite interesting and a little surprising to find out what large share of the international food trade the United States is furnishing. Ac- cording to a recent article this country contributes one-fifth of the wheat, one third of the corn, two-ffths of the wheat, about one-half of the oil cake and oil cake meal, four-fifths of the cotton seed oil and one-half of the leaf tobacco. Most of our grain and meat go to Europe, though Cuba takes a lot of bacon, ham. pork and fresh beef. It is said that the average farm value of the products of the American farm for the last five years was something like six and half billion dollars. Of that amount we used the larger share but exported nine hundred and nine- teen million dollars worth annually for the last five years. No doubt our im- proved machinery and our intrusive cultivation will increase still more the amount of food that we may export to other countries. We have only just begun to develop the resources ot our soil. For instance. stalk of wheat was found up in Alaska. It was brought to one of our western states and has been carefully cultivated until there is quite a supply of it. When there is sufficient quantity it will be put on the market. It is estimated 
 from the experiments made with the seed that it will increase the average yield of wheat in this country some thing like five bushels per acre. We have such great country that lot of it runs to waste as yet, but when it gets under cultivation and care, it will yield a vast deal more than it formerly did. One of the duties of the farmer to the rising generation is to make it realize that there are more worlds to conquer and greater crops to be raised.

THESTARTLING NEW GOWN.

The dressmakers of Paris have at last gone so far in their immodest creations of clothes that the public has revolted. The model which set all Par is to talking is called the "sheath gown" and is taken from the costume of some variety actress. Corsets and petticoats are discarded and the "man- nequins" as the dressmakers models are called, appeared on the street in a dress that was as tight as it could be made, with train behind and opening all the way down on each side of the skirt above the knee. Even wicked Paris gasped at the thought of such a costume being adopted in general. It is only another illustration of what vanity run mad will do.

 The Chicago and Northwestern Rail- road Co. have begun the building of a depot at Chicago to cost twenty mil- lion dollars. It is to be one of the fin- est stations in the world. it will cover 19 acres and will have six public en- frances. The train shed will be $40 feet long and 32O feet wide and will have l6 tracks, each of which will hold 15 cars. Everthing for the comfort of travellers will be provided. There will be department store, baths, a kitch- en, hospital, tea rooms, lunch rooms, private rooms where man may hire a valet and a woman have a maid to help her to dress. It is expected that the station can care for two hundred and fifty thousand people day.

amount Of water that Is necessary to
produce a first-cass corn crop. A
farmer said to us the othe. day, ave
had an inch of rain and this should be
sufficient to mature the CROP" Every
year we frequently hear farmers make
remarks of this kind, and in week
or ten days from that date without
rain the crop will be suffering.
All this emphasizes the necessity of
selecting land, whether for purchase
or renting, the subsoil of which has
great water holding capacity, such as
the lighter and more porous clays, and
also the necessity of keeping the soil
in the best possible physical condi-
tion. We once more emphasize this
fact, that the yield Of any crop any
year is determined largely and almost
entirely by three things--the physical
condition of the soil, the temperature
or amount of heat furnished, and the
rainfall or the amount OF moisture
during the season.
When the soil is out Of physical
condition as 1T is this year in lands
that are without good natural or arti-
fetal drainage, 1t can not be put in
physical condition so far as corn is
concerned until another winters
freezing. Without the deep frosts of
the corn belt farmers would be re-
quired to reorganize their entire sys-
tenn of conducting their farm opera

School Boys and Corn.

The 426 boys, memb bers of the vari-
Gus rural schools of the county, who
entered upon the task of planting and
caring for bit of corn ground, are
reporting to County Superintendent
Lawrence how they are getting along,
and from the reports it is learned
that the little fellows are having
splendid success. This is the best
education ever given boys along agri-
cultural lines and> will do more to
keep them on the farm than years of
talk in colleges. 1t gives them prac-
tical education and arouses spirit
of pride through competition that
will in the end make them scientific
farmers.
President Roosevelt has just ap-
pointed a commission to study and
report on how to make the farm more
attractive, and this noble inspiration
is worthy of Roosevelt.
How to make the farm more at
tractive to the rising generation OF
boys and girls is a subject OF great
Importance, and some people who do
not farm or farm by proxy, make
light of the matter, but fortunately
these scoffers are few. The farm is
the foundation Of the nations wealth.
and there is nothing too good for the
man Or his boys and girls who cheer
fully follow this laborious life.
Prof. Lawrence has met some who
scof at the glorious work he is doing
for the farmer boys of the county,
but he was sure he was right and the
fact that 426 school boys, some from
nearly every district in the county,
entered cheerfully and proudly upon
the task of planting and caring for a
patch of corn to compete with every
other boy in the county, is an evi-
dence that he is not only right but
that he is doing more to make boy
love the farm than anything hereto
fore tried. If you can make the boy
love the farm you will make him one
of the most valuable men In the ma
tion.
These 426 boys will have a mple
of corn at the next county institute
and it will be scored the same as the
corn entered by their fathers and big
brothers. The little fellows have
worked for victory worthy Of special
recognition and prizes must be pro-
vided.
Prof. Lawrence intends to consult
the officers of the corn growers as
ISOLATION and with their assistance
provide program. Let every citizen
be prepared to aid in this work. The
boys Of today will be the successful
farmers of tomorrow and those who
love to help boy climb the ladder of
success will never regret effort in this
direction, because our boys are the
hope of the nation.

The Corn Crop.

WallaceS' Farmer.-FrOm this time
on the crop will be strictly a wea ther
crop. Four-fifths of the dry matter
of corn both of stalk and ear is made
between tasseling time and maturity,
and the extent Of the crop is therefore
determined by the amount Of water
which the root system is able to fur
nish the plant, and this is determined
partly by the rainfall and partly by
the condition of the SOIL 1t is very
rarely that there is sufficient rainfall
during the period from tasseling time
to maturity to produce full crop of
corn.
Every pound of dry matter, whether
Of stalk or ear, requires the passage
thru the stalk of from two hundred
and seventy-five TO three hundred
pounds Of water. Therefore. the
amount of dry matter formed will de-
pend upon the ability Of the roots to
deliver moisture, most of which must
be drawn from the subsoil. The
amount of water which they can de-
liver will depend upon the water hold
ing capacity of the subsoil and upon
the root development, which again is
determined by the physical condition
of the soil and the previous rainfall.
The danger to the crop in case of a
dry spell of weather during the month
of Aug ust, therefore, comes from
three sources, first, superEcially de-
veloped root system as the result of
the abundant rains during the early
part of the season. For while roots
60 where there is water, they go only
as far as it is necessary to secure the
water. The second danger comes
from the inferior physical condition
of the soil, due to it's being run to-
getner by these heavy rains during
the early part of the season. Another
source of menace to the crop is the
amount OF weeds and grass found in
many fields, which either from lack
Of labor or from excessive rains have
not been properly cultivated; for grass
and weeds will share with the corn
plants the available moisture in the
soil.

Why The Republican Party Should

| Union" expanded for the first time
into the reality of the American ma
tion.
In 1879 money was committed to a
specie basis; specie was at once, until
1898, no longer sought, and govern.
ment bonds went to a premium at the
reduced rate Of interest. In 1896 bust
ness men were again committed to
confidence; before a single statue was
enacted prosperity set in and in ten
years bank deposits almost trebleo-
permanent gain which the recent
panic, Estate of mind" now COM
pletely dispelled, scarcely touched.
In 1906 business was committed to
fair methods; without compulsion yio-
lations largely ceased.
The Republican Party, at each per-
iod, sounded the public conscience,
felt the National pulse, framed it's
policies in response, and realized in
law the dominant American idea. It's
constructive past assures it's construc-
tive future. 1t is to-day as it always
has been, "The Party fit to Govern" :"
Iv.-THE PARTY OF STATESMEN
The party of Craftsmanship, it has
been the training school of statesmen.
Its policies have been forged in the
heat of public discussion, tempered in
in the deliberation and shaped in the
conflict, of many trained minds and
drawn and finally wrought for the
country's welfare. Dominating its
members through principles, it as
sures unity in Government; its
staunchest partisans have made the
greatest contributions to National
progress. The roster of its leaders is
the national roll of honor of public
service.
v.-TAFT AND SHERMAN CONsTRUC-
TIVE CANDIDATES "A CONSTRUC-
TIVE PLATFORM
Republicanism stands to-day for
progressive policies in safe hands. BY
solving the constructive problems Of
world power in the last two admins
trations. William II. Taft taught
the world our capacity and us his own.
In al! constructive legislation for
twenty years James S. Sherman has
been leader. In the records OF the
Republican candidates as well as in
the platform are written the story of
the nations progress and the reliance
of the future.
A Democratic President or Demo
cratic House would turn back those
pages: thereafter Organism would re-
cord destruction" This the Repub-
lican Senate could not prevent. Un-
der Taft and Sherman and a Repub)i-
can Congress the great progress of the
past will be held and the greater
progress of the future will be assured.
