be read and pondered by all, in spite
of President Taft's objection to the
sentiments expressed in it. Here it
is: 1T Is time that the West, threw
of the shackles of the East. I would
preach no sectional divisions and no
sectional strifes; but Minnesota and
Washington and the states between,
with those to the south OF us, should
arise In their might and claim for
themselves that fair share of influ-
ence in the halls of congress and in
the administration of national affairs
to which they are. entitled by every

Winter Wheat Experiments
Supt Porter Of the Demonstration Farm Has

Superintendent Porter of the dem

fall winter wheat fields were seeded
on seven of the farms-Page. Bis
marck, New Salem, Beach and
Washburn and Flaxton and Rugby.
These places offer variety OF eli
matte soil conditions that will. give
an average trial of the entire state.
The wheat was turkey red the only
variety that is recommended for
northwestern conditions, and was
seeded, in three ways, viz, in corn,
on summer fallow and In barley
stubble, save at New Salem, where
It was seeded in the regular rotation
on land that had produced a crop Of
oats and peas for hay. The first of
October the wheat was three inches
high, and had a very healthy APP
pearance. At Beach the wheat was

it is thin on the corn land, and for
the same reason it did grow on the

whether or not, and under what con-
ditions, winter wheat will grow IN
