The Eagle has received the July
number of Campbell's Scientific Farm
err, a pamphlet of 80 pages, published
monthly at Lincoln, Neb. 1t is edited
by Professor H. w. Campbell, the
great apostle of dry farming in the
semi-arid belt. The writer has seen
some of the results of the application
of Prof. Campbelrs methods and it is
no hyperbole to say that they are
marvellous; he has literally made the
desert blossom as the rose. The spe-
cial mission of Campbell's Scientific
Farmer is to teach scientific soil cul-
ture. to the end that in dry regions
or in dry seasons crops are assured.

We would say to the voter,
that in your zeal for the success
of the national ticket, do not
lose sight of the Importance OF
electIng our legislative ticket as
we'll. There is 4 strong fight
along this line by the opposi-
tion for a two fold purpose.
First the effort TO have Bryan
carry the state and second to
defeat county option. 1t has
been many years since the re-
publicans of this county have
had as strong a legislative tick
ct as presented the voter at this
time and if elected they will be
d credit to old richardson.
These candidates have declared
themselves squarely in sympa-
thy with every move for the
betterment of conditions, and
the man who says that Bolejack,
Zook, Ward and Bob Cain won't
stand hltched, does not know
what he is talking about, They
