HARMON FOR 1912.
Johnson's Death Makes Ohio Gov
, ernor Democratic Candidate.

Cincinnati Sept. 21.-The eyes OF
the Democratic party of the United
States turned toward Ohio to-day. Pres
ident Taft, in speech few days ago,
declared Gov Judson Harmon of Ohio
would be the logical Democratic noml-
nee for the Presidency OF the United
States in 1912, should the illness OF
Gov. Johnson prove fatal.
Johnson was the most prominently
mentioned, next to Bryan, for the Dem
ocratic nomination in 1908. 1t was
generally predicted that he would be a
strong contender in 1912. The election
of Judson Harmon, of Cincinnati, to
the governorship of Ohio stamped him
as one of the few Democrats OF the
country of Presidential caliber. If this
is so. Cincinnati is almost certain to
have both candidates for President next
time

Chapter Meeting.

Leonidas Polk Chapter met Monday
with Mrs. T. d. Edwards. As always,
the meeting was opened with prayer.
The minutes of last meeting had an in
teresting item, the report Of the COM
mittee to fill the scholarships in the
Union City schools. The Union City
Training School scholarship was given
to a very bright granddaughter of a
Confederate veteran who lives only a
few miles from town. The High School
scholarship was given to the Oldest
daughter of a widow in the southern
part of the county. This Southern girl
was anxious to be able to assist her
mother in raising the younger children.
The two scholarships are worth one hun
bred dollars, but who can estimate the
value to these two fair Southern girls?
A motion was made by one of the
members that each member present
who felt like doing so would pledge five
dollars to the Obion County Monument.
Every member present made pledge.
One lady, whose father was Southern
soldier from Obion County, said in a
low, gentle voice as she sat there with
her son on her knee, Put me down
down for five dollars. don't knowwhere
the money is to come from, but will
make it," A little lady who came
from Mississippi not SO very long age
said, Put me down for five dollars. ]

Miss Mary Lawson reported that the
girls of the chapter, of their own ac-
cord had planned to have dinner on
Sept. %, show day." the money to go
to the monument. With youth and
enthusiasm in the lead the dinner must
be a success.
Mrs. Jim Boxley and Mrs. Halves met
with the chapter for the first time,
though they had been members for
some time.
The next meeting will be with Mrs.
Robert Joyner
Every one enjoyed Mrs. Edwards de-
lightful hospitality.

JoHNsoN's GREAT CAREER.
s son 81 Blacksmith, he Won His
Own Way to Fame.

St. Paul, Mimi, Sept. q. John a.
johnson enjoyed the distinction Of be-
ing the first native Minnesotan to be
Governor Of the State and Of that dis
tinction he was prouder than of any
other feature Of his career. He edu-
Gated and prepared himself for that ca
reer while helping to support his widow
ed mother.
Gov. johnson was born near st. Peter
forty-eight years ago. His parents were
natives Of Sweden. His father, Gustav
johnson, and his mother, Caroline
Hanson Haden, were both of sturdy
peasant stock, and beyond that little is
known Of the relatives.
Gustav Johnson was blacksmith,
for several years conducting his bust
ness on farm near st. Peter. 1t was
here that the future Governor was born.
The Johnsons later moved from the
farm to the village of St. Peter, where
the father failed to prosper and finally
died, leaving his family in poverty.
DEFEATED IN FIRST VENTURE.
John was then Is years of age. He
first worked two years in a grocery
store. Then he secured better place
in drug store where he earned enough
to support his mother, as well as him
self.
In the meantime he had formed the
reading habit and managed to obtain a
good education. He studied not only
books, but men, and for the latter he
showed special aptitude.
Finally he became editor and part
owner of the St. Peter Herald. Genial
and broad minded, a fluent talker and
ready wit, he made his paper popular
and was always in demand as a speaker
at public meetings.
His first venture in politics, as can
didate for State Senator, resulted III de-
feat. 1t was in 1894, just after he had
wooed and won Miss Gilmore M. Preston,
young teacher, and they bad estab-
lished home in st. Peter.
In 1898 he was again nominated for
the State Senate and was elected. He
made some enemies among the MEM
bers of his own party when he warmly
defended the American soldiers IN the
PHILIPPINES and the conduct of the ma
tional administration, when the admin
istration was assailed by the Democrats.
When, in 1904, the Republican party
of the State was rent by quarrels among
the leaders, Johnson was elected Gov
ernor over R. G. Dunn, Republican.
Two years later he was reelected over
whelmingly. Then it was proposed to
nominate him for third time. The
Governor decided not to be candidate
and did not even attend the Democratic
State Convention, but he was unani-
mously renominated and again elected.
Johnson's remarkable political record
had become known throughout the
country and at the last Democratic Con-
vention at Denver many of the leaders
strongly advocated his nomination for
President of the United States. Bryan
was nominated, but this did not dampen
the ardor of Johnson's friends and the
talk ofhis nomination for President was
stronger than ever during the last year.

two varieties of wheat are plant
ed thus in the same field that mi:
Ing may occur by heavyrainswasl
ing the seed off one part of
the field to another.
! Another common source of mix
ing is in threshing. If two or
more varieties of wheat are grow
on the same farm, it is advisa-
bic to thresh some other grain
after threshing one variety of
wheat; or if no other small grain
Is grown on the farm, great care
should be taken to clean out the
separator before threshing the
pure wheat, and then it would be
well to send the first load of
two OF the pure seed to market
rather than to save it for sowing.
The same care should be taken
when the separator is hauled
from one farm to another, not on
ly to prevent mixing varieties of
wheat, but also to prevent the
spread of smut from one farm to
another through inoculating the
seed wheat from the threshing
machine that has previously
threshed smutty wheat.
The farmer is not apt to mix
varieties by careless storing, since
he will have only one improved
variety, and this he will easily
keep separate from the COM
mon crop. Most farmers are rath
er too careless in not carefully
cleaning the fanning-mill when
changing from one variety of
wheat to another. 1t hardly seems
necessary 10 mention the import
ance of carefully sweeping out
bins and cleaning all sacks into
which this pure wheat is to be
stored.
To produce the best seed, the
whea should be well graded and
only the heaviest and plumpest
kernels sOwn. The seed grain
should be graded and famed to
remove weed seeds, if for no 9TH
er reason. Again, it is usually
necessary to fan grain simply to
remove dirt, chaff and pieces
of stems that would grealyy in
terfere with the uniform distribu
ton of the seed in planting. Al
so the inferior plant produced
from inferior seeds may act as
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1909-04-30

weeds, especially in dry seasons
or on land low in fertility, actu.
ally tlking the moisture and the
plant food from the larger and
better developed plants, thus re.
ducing the yield and injuring the
quality of the grain produced.
Harvest the wheat when it is
;i'y matured. Immature
seed is apt to be shrunken and
deficient in vitality. On the 9TH
er hand, as soon as the wheat is
over-ripe it begins to Getriorate
In quality and may lose some OF
its vitality. Do not allow seed
wheat to become damaged by
rain. Shock well Immediately and
thresh from the field as soon as
the grain is dry, or put the wheat
into stacks or barns for protec-
ton. Perhaps more wheat is in
jured in quality after harvest by
unfavorable weather and from
carelesneSs in handling than frol'
any other source. The stacks
9ho~ld be well built to protect
from the rain, and after the
wheat is put into the stack or
barn it should he left for several
weeks until after it has passed
through the sweat before it is
threshed. Whether to cap shocks
or to leave them uncapped is the
question. Unless wheat is well
set up and carefully capped the
caps are apt to blow off and the
shocks are then more exposed
than if the bundles were original
ly set in open shocks. | prefer,
however, to carefully shock and
cap rather than to set il" long
shocks or round shocks without
caps. 1t may be necessary to go
over the field occasionally after
a wind in order to replace caps
that have blown off. Do not
make the shocks too large. Ten
or. twelve bundles set up with
a single cap carefully broken and
spread is better than a large
shock with two or three caps.
If wheat farmers will practice
the plan of growing and saving
seed-wheat as suggested above,
the average yield of wheat may
be increased several bushels per
acre and the quality and puri-
ty of the grain may be improved.

are TO continue. One of thu
principal sources of mixing il
LON volunteer wheat which Oc
.u~when FIELDS are reseeded te
wheat year after year. In order
70 keep the wheat pure and oi
goot: quality, the crop for seed
taould always be grown in q
tisl1 free from volunteer wheat
This necessitates rotation, pre-
cading the wheat with some 9th.
er crop such as oats, barley OIL
corn, and in order that fertility
of the soil be maintained by sch
rotation the legumas and grass
es should be included. If it j,
necessary to sow wheat after
wheat, great care should be
taken to destroy the volunteer
growth as far as possible by ear
ly blowing and frequent cultiva-
ton before seeding or by disk
ing Immediately after harvest in
order to start the volunteer
wheat, which may be destroyed
later by blowing.
Again, wheat may become mixed
in the harvesting or shocking.
Z his is especially apt to occur
'vh'1 the farmer is Introducing
the wheat, planting it, usually in
small areas. Care should be take
to plant the pure seed in a sep
arate field, or if the wheat is
planted in a field with other
wheat, narrow alley should be
left between varieties so they
may be harvested separately.
Wheat does not croSS-fertilize like
corn or sorghum, and the varie-
ties may be planted near each 9th
err without mixing except through
carelesSneSs in harvesting. There
is some danger, however. that

Maintaining the Quality and Pur.
ity of Seed Wheat.

During the last four years the
Kansas Experiment Station has
distributed some eight thousand
bushels of well-bred, hard red
winter wheat Of the best produc-
ing varieties. Among these are
" RharkOf, MaAkoff, Improv.
ed Turkey, etc. This wheat has
been redistributed by the farmers
and sOwn in larger areas, and
Fields Of it are now growing in
practically every county of the
State, the total acreage aggregat-
ing some 100000 acres. The
tests at the Station and reports
from farmers prove that this
wheat is of greater yielding ca
pacity and harder and purer and
OF better quality than the wheat
generally grown, hence it is i'm
pOrtant that the farmers who are
growing this wheat take care
In keeping the wheat pure in
order to continue the distribution
OF this improved seed-wheat, and
at the same time maintain the
yield and quality of the wheat
grown on their own farms.
There are several factors that
cause a deterioration of wheat,
