1t Is somewhat discouraging to
farmers, after they have been
diligent aad done all they could
do 70 produce crop, TO find that
through no fault Of their own,
their crops have been destroyed
at this late season of the year. In
many parts of the state, . great
deal of corn on Hat up lands and
thousand Of acres on bottom
lands have been destroyed by the
excessive rains and floods. II
the rains should cease now, how
eyer, there is time for maturing
crops aud farmers should avail
themselves of the opportunity Of
planting all the area possible
where the corn has been destroy
ed.
In the year 1904, many farmers
produced en- bottom lands from
30 to 10 bushels Of corn planted
after June Goth. With q normal
season, corn will have time to
mature planted anytime up to the
first Of July and will make good
forage planted even as late as
the middle Of July. Sorghum
and Kaffir Corn will make good
crops of seed planted as late as
the 10th of July and will make
forage planted somewhat later.
Cow Peas and Millst may be
planted almost any time in July
and make crop. Rape may be
sown in August and produce an
abundance of fall pasturage. Rye
and Wheat sown in August and
September will make fall and
winter pasturage and will take
the place Of much grain that ia
ordinarily fed during the early
part of the winter.
Information concerning any of
these crops that may not be gem
orally grown in the neighborhood.
will be furnished on application
to this office.

AitoF steuuOus week ~ 1nr
timidation browbeating and fed-
ersl interference, the administra-
tion has triumphed and William
H. TAFT has been declared the
nominee of the Republican party
for the office of president Of the
United States and the first pro-
nounced step in the direction Of
what smaeks strongly Of imper-
ialism has been taken.
For the first time 10 the history
Of the American republic, q con-
vention has been held which was
absolutely directed, controlled
and conducted by the chief exec
utive Of the United States from
the executive offices in Washing
ton. While It is true that a presi-
dent should have q voice in the
selection of q successor, the same
as any other American, yet it is
likewise true that he should have
no further or more direct influ-
enee than any other American
citizen. The spectacle has been
presented this week OF the presi-
dent absolutely debating to the
American people who, as far as
he is concerned, shall be his
successor, Whether the great
masses OF the American people
viii ratify his selection will not
be determined until the polls close
In November.
Europe has its crowned heads
and its line of succession. For
some time past, there have been
attempts indirectly made to found
an aristocracy in America.
While these efforts 80 far have
NOT been productive Of the most
striking success, yet 1t has re-
manned for the president Of the
United States to take the first
step toward founding an Ameri-
can system which would have as
its basis the dictation Of the line
of succession'to the Office Of the
presidency.
! William H. Taft is q good
American citizen, and q states
man Of marked ability, and he
has been q valuable and trusted
lieutenant of President Roose :
welt, yet the fact that the chief
executive had picked upon him
as his successor does not well
comport with the ideas Of Ameri-
can freedom as interpreted by the
masses. The contention Of Presl-
dent Roosevelt that he wanted q
man to succeed him who would
carry out his policies and that
Taft Is the most acceptable to the
great number of statesmen in the
Republican party, may be all
right from President Roosevelt's
point Of view; but lis depriving
the American people Of one Of
the greatest perogatives Of this
land Of the free and the home Of
the brave in thus taking from
them what they have heretofore
supposed to be in their inalien-
able right and privilege, that of
selecting the man who should re-
present them in the executive
chair.
President Roosevelt has done
many curious things since he has
held the reins Of government
He has done many things which
are commendable -he has done
many things which are the di-
rect opposite, With great
many Of the Americans his views
and wishes are law. but despite
the fact that on the third day Of
the convention, the mention Of
his name was the cause for =
great characterization (msde by
the federal cs-boldersl yet It
is extremely doubtful # the great
mass Of the American people viii
