Weakness OF Big Corporations

Looking for the causes of this COL
lapse seen in the Pillsbury Washbnrn
failare, we recognize two main sources
of weakness The first is over capital
ization. Every one of the great in
dustrials is capitalized at from two to
four times it's value. When consolida-
tion took place, the promoters helped
themselves to stock and bonds which
they unloaded on the public. And the
enterprise finds itself unable to carry
this vast load of debt. The second diff
fcu]ty is that of management. These
concerns are too big. No man, how
ever competent, is capable of handling
their enormous detail. Hence econom-
les which they are able to make in one
direction are more than balanced by
the waste that comes wherever there
cannot be Individual oversight. The
trusts must fall to pieces of their own
weight. They are monstrosities, and
their days are nearly over.-Red Wing

GROWING RUTABAGAS.
What One Farmer in the Northwest
Has Been Able to Do.

Root growing has been successfully
practiced by Thomas A. May of Lari-
more, N. D. In 1905 he grew six acres
Of rutabagas and harvested about 5000
bushels, reports Prof. Thomas Shaw
in Orange Judd Farmer. His land is
loan, but has in it little sand. He
grows millet before the root crop.
This aids in cleaning the land. Then
as soon as the crop is removed he
plows the land lightly. This is to bury
weeds. Then he puts on 30 loads Of
farm manure per acre. This is plowed
down in the spring as soon as the
grain is sown. The ground is thor
oughly pulverized on the surface. It
is then made into raised drills by
using double mold-board plow and
marker. The rows are made about 33
inches apart. Late in May or early in
June the seed is sown in the raised
drills by using a turnip drill drawn by
one horse, which soWs two rows every
round. A little roller attached to the
drill covers the seed and firms the
ground. The crop is kept clean by
horse and hand cultivation. When
harvest time comes the tops are re-
moved with hoe and the turnips
pulled out of the ground by running
q harrow over them.
Mr.. May has succeeded in getting
great crops of wheat after turnips. In
1906 he grew nearly AZ bushels of
bluestem wheat per acre from six
acres. The average IN the neighbor-
hood was Is bushels. OF course, this
may not follow on all soils, but on his
lands he gets his best wheat after
roots, the ground having been thus
manured before the roots are sown
He has a fine herd of cattle and he
ands what everyone else has found
who raises roots, that they are a
grand food for calves and, indeed, for
any class of cattle in the winter sea-
son.

The Next House
Of Representatives

Acute observers of the opening of
the campaign are far more confident
of the election of Mr.. Taft than of his
support by Republican house of re-.
presentatives.
The two do not stand on precisely
the same footing, as they should in a
harmonious and united party. The
Taft platform does not commend itself
to the little Republican group by which
the house organization is controlled
and legislation advanced or impeded.
On the other side, Mr.. Taft and his
friends are not deeply concerned to
perpetuate the present control of the
house and of legislation.
A little mutual distrust has divided
the executive committee of the Repub.
lican national committee and the con.
gressional committee. Each is con
Quoting a campaign independently of
the other. The national executive
committee works broadly for success
all along the line, on congress as well
as president, with the sincere purpose
to carry out the policies to which Mr..
Taft and the Republican party are
picked.
The congressional committee is un-
derstood to be organized more for the
purpose of retaining in power the mon
who control the present house organi-
zation, Speaker Cannon and his allies,
most of whom are cold and reluctant
supporters of present Republican pol.
icies. In these circumstances it is no
wonder if Democrats hope to pick up a
seat here and there, by putting ur men
perhaps more in sympathy with the
Taft policy than the Republican can
didate.
Obviously, the way to prevent this is
for the Republican party in each con-
gressional district to take the choice of
candidates into it's own hands, and heal
any possible division in the party by
nominating a candidate in sympathy
with present Republican policy.
This is easy enough where the prim
ary law prevails. It can be done by
proper effort in all places. Really, the
power of the congressional committee
is only advisory. Every district has
the power, to choose it's own represen.
tative, if it will only exercise it.-Min.

The Alaska Wheat Fake.

The fields of Alaska wheat on the
Abraham Adams farm, near Julietta,
Idaho, have been examined thoroughly
by Prof. E. E. Elliot, head of the de-
partment Of agriculture at W ashington
state college, who is one of the highest
authorities in the United States on
wheat, and he pronounces the so-called
Alaskan wheat of no value.
Prof. Elliot says the fields he exam
ined would not yield over IS bushels
per acre. Adams field, the professor
says, is not Alaska wheat, it being
mixed with other varieties.
The head droops heavily and the
grain will lodge badly.
The heads are not of uniform size.
Prof. Elliot says that wheat is never
found growing wild, and the highest
recorded yield for any wheat is 100
bushels per acre. He predicts that
within three years Alaska wheat will
be but a memory. =.
It is also stated that the wheat has
no milling value, and that 1T is no good
for stock food. .s.-.
The grain appears to be all old, var.
iety which has appeared under various
names at different times during the
past so years, but those who expert
mented with it always found it worth:
less.

FOR
Mr.. TAWNEY

1t has been rumored about town
that James A. Tawney spent Tuesday
at this place. 1t probably was so, but
as at other places, it appears that there
were only a few he cared to see, as only
small number had the pleasure (?) of
his sociability, prominent among which
were couple of democrats. To speak
plain, it was somewhat in the nature
OF frost, as it does not appear that
the honorable gentleman was able
to win back vote of the great major
ity lost to him in this town. There are
two or threepeople here who arguethat
it would be tough to defeat him at this
time, since he has worked himself up
to the position he has attained,
although they frankly say that all the
good he ever did for his constituents
was during his first six or eight years
IN congress, and that if he should re-
main there for the next twenty years,
he could not do as much again, or be of
good to the people at home, on account
of the course he has taken and the
people he trains with, but think it
would be shame to stop him in his
own personal aggrandizement, regard
less of all his constituents, interests.
Great reasoning (?) isn't it, but that is
all any one pretends to give for a rea-
son why he shodld be returned to con.
gress. In fact, that is the only reason
every paper of the First district that is
In favor of him, that reaches our table,
has given for his reelection. They
say he is sclever and has reached high
standing with Joe Cannon, Payne, and
their class. Have the American
people got to that point where we
should become kingdom, and elect a
man to office for life for his own self
benefit, because he is shrewd, or are
we to elect man for the benefit of the
people and for their welfare? If the
handwriting on the wall does not mis-
lead, we will see an overwhelming de-
feat for self.interest and it's candidate
and in it's stead an elective vote cast
for man who will proclaim his belief
and actions and stand by them to the
end. Such man as the latter the
people will find in T. V. Knatvold, of
Albert Lea-Dodge Center Star.
