SEASONS GOSSIP
IN WASHINGTON
TWO SWELLING PRESIDENTIAL
BUDS IN THE UNITED
STATES SENATE.

lection in the South.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May l.
There are two budding presidential
booms in the senate, the owners of
which will contribute much to the in
terest in things legislative during the
next four years. LaFollette, former
governor of Wisconsin, and Cum
minis, former governor of Iowa., are
both credited with the belief that for
tune destines them for the White
House.
LaFollette is travelling the road of
reform, especially railroad regulation.
1t is a policy that made him supreme
in Wisconsin and, he believes, will
appeal as strongly to the people of the
other states when it is fully under
stood.
Cummins has made an issue for
years of tariff reform, but that is
likely to be shelved by the passage Of
a new tariff law. Now he. is devoted to
the income tax which he regards as
one of the most important and the
most fetching questions before the
people.
This is not the open season for rail-

taxation, and Cummins therefore
holds the center of the stage.
The prominence he has achieved
during his brief experience in the
senate has been encouraging to his
friends who, approve of his presiden-
tial ambition. The insurgent republic
can senators endorsed his income tax
idea and held conference at his
house while the tax amendment to the
,Aldrich bill was in course of con-
struction. The point to, be noted is
that the meeting was held at his
house-the house of Cummins, new
senator. and. not at the residence OF
one of the older members of the SEN
ate.
Cummings Opposes. Aldrich.
CHmmins' action in presenting the
income tax amendment places him in
opposition to AIdrfch and the other
so-called regular leaders in the senate.
If the amendment is adopted he will
have vanquished them Such a vic
tory, it is calculated, will give him
great prestige in. the country. If the
amendment fails, Cuinmins can ap-

Chicago, Sept. 3.--Without food and

John s. Brown, aged SO, was taken
from Michigan Central freight car

Brown said he entered the car in
Northern Michigan to take nap.
When he awoke he found he had been

effort to make his presence known,
he sank exhausted on the floor Of

MAY Be A
CANDIDATE

Guthrie, Sept. 3.-Associate Justice
Jesse Dunn of the supreme bench will
not be a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for governor, but will seek
reelection in the Fifth judicial SUI
preme court district, according to an
announcement authorized by him.
1t has been known among Judge
Dunn's friends that he was ambitious
to serve another term on the bench,
but, in view of thesrecent agitation in
his favor as Democratic standard bear.
er in the 1910 campaign his name has
frequently been connected with the
nomination.
Although Judge Dunn in his state
ment does not mention the fact it Is
taken for granted that the jurist's atti
tude was made public as result OF
the conference in Oklahoma City Sat
urday in which he, Lee Cruce, the Ard
more banker, and F. e. Herring, can
didates for the nomination, partici-
pated
The intimate friends of Judge Dunn
declare he will allow his name to be
used in the gubernatorial race in the
event of an impending 'tie-up'' in the
candidate or in other words. he will
consent to being drafted"
1t is not one of the impossibilities
of the approaching campaign that just
such a contingency will develop. But
in the meantime Justice Dunn will

Preparing for the Day County
Fair.

Day county has greater opportunity
this year to become known to the rest
OF the world and to her own citizens
than has ever been offered the county
before. The State Fair and the Corn
Palace exhibits this coming fall prom
ises to be the greatest shows of the kind
Dakota
The Legislature has appropriated
means whereby the State Fair this year
will be able to surposs any held before.
Day County has an organized County
Fair association and it is the duty of
every citizen of the county to aim TO
prepare some exhibit for the fair the
coming fall and make it the best ever
held in the state.
In order to make most Of the oppor-
tunities offered, it is necessary to begin
early. 1t will be to late next year tt
grow the crops for the fair this fall
Every farmer and business man who is
interested in the future development of
Day County should to plan this seasons
work that he will be able to contribute
something to one or more of the coming
exhibits In no county of the state can
there be produced more perfect or more
interesting samples of our stable crops
than can be grown in our own county.
Our grasses and forage plants are
notable for their large number of varie.
ties as we'll as their economic and scien-
tific interest. Our grains are plump
and heavy and the straw is marvellous
in its perfection and color to those
unacquainted with the color effects pro.
duced on vegetation by the abundant
unshine of our state
Abundant material will be available
if enough people in the different sections
of the county interest them selves in the
matter, in order to bring worthy meas
to light this year.
There is no reason why the more
imperishable crops shown at the County
Fair this falls, and those which are pre-
served so they will keep, should not be
displayed at the Corn Palace exhibition
held later in the season at Mitchell.
1t is not possible to make a creditable
showing, even of grain, unless it is
properly raised and prepared. Many
exhibitions lack merit because they ale
merely picked up. There may be some
thing practical in a bundle of grain
shown in the rough, but it is seldom
attractive If sample of wheat con-
talns kernals of another variety, oats,
barley or weed seeds scattered through
it, the effect is anything out pleasing.
Everyone who attends the fair expects
that every thing that is exhibited shall
be worthy of its place. The sightseeing
public or the student who gives time
and thought to an agricultural exhibit
naturally infers that what has been pre-
pared for their inspection represents the
Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1909-05-27

best that can be produced. and if any.
thing less than the best, or at least that
which is first-class is shown, the county
receives an injury rather than benefit.
A poorly prepared exhibit is seldom
worth the price of admission, and those
who see it have a right to be disap-
pointed; therefore, great care should be
given to growing, selecting and prepar-
ing such material.
/ will now attempt to discuss as
briefly as possible a simple way of
growing and preparing exhibits: 1t is
well to plant annual crops, especially
such note. worthy varieties of grains as
may be available, with extra care on
small plots Of land prepared for the pur-
pose Where this is done the best seed
may be selected and planted in a much
better manner than prevails In our field
practice. If the grain has already been
planted, small area can be selected in
the field aud given some extra attention.
In these plats it is advisable, il the
season is short, to plant the grain rather
thick so as to obtain early and even
ripening before danger of injury by
early frosts in the fall.
Some of the late varieties of wheat or
oats should be planted at the rate of leo
pounds or more of seed per acre. Exper-
iments indicate that as a rule about 70
pounds of seed wheat or oats per acre
give the best results. Though in select.
ing seed only 40 pounds is generally
used. No foreign grain or inferior grain
should be allowed to grow with the
variety being produced. We seldom
obtain seed which is so pure that there
will not be found heads of different
varieties growing with the variety
planted.
Harvesting many of cur varieties
must be done before they are too ripe,
because they are apt to be shelled out
by the wind or handling. Smelling
seems more liable to occur if the ripe
heads are wet by showers of rain.
Alternate drying or wetting makes
the straw and glumes very brittle, so
they break with the wind or any sudden
jar, releasing the kernals of grain. This
may be prevented by harvesting early
while the grain is in the thick dough.
Grain Is usually more plump and heavy
if it has been cut before fully ripe; the
only difficulty is that samples shown in
the straw may not have the desired
color Whether or not the grain has
been grown for exhibition samples
should be carefully selected for this pur.
pose IT it is desired TO show the whole
whole length of straw, few plants
may be pulled and the roots carefully
washed out. To make neat handles,
only a few plants with the roots on can
be used, filling in the center with stems,
which are cut off as near the ground as
possible. Single specimens may be
retained TO show the number of tillers
ana heads produced from single seed
