A year ago Turkey Red winter
wheat was sown on seven of the dem
onstration farms located at Flaxton
Rugby, Page, Washburn, New Salem
farms except at New Salem cmfW
Bismarck and Beach. On all of these
farms except at New Salem the win
ter wheat was sown broadcast In
growing corn and was afterwards cul
tivated in. On all the farms except
Washburn, the wheat was seeded In
stubble after the small grain crop was
removed. On several of the farms the
winter wheat was also seeded on sum
mer fallow
At Flaxton the wheat was seeded in
three ways, namely, in corn, in stub
BILE and on summer fallow. Last fall
this point was without rain and at
the time of seeding the soil was very
dry, consequently. the winter wheat
did not terminate last fall in either
the corn or stubble land. On the sum-
mer fallow it terminated fairly well
but winter killed. The winter wheat
at this point was a failure in the corn
and summer E fallow owing to the ex-
IRENE drOWth last fall.
At Rugby the wheat was seeded
in the same manner and at the same
time as at Flaxton. A light shower
caused about half of the wheat to ger
inmate in the corn and in the stubble
This made a good growth during the
fall 1t went into the winter in good
condition. In the spring it was found
to be all dead, very probably due to
the very unreasonable weather. Near
ly half of what wheat terminated in
the corn winter killed so that what
remained would not make very prof
table crop, consequently it was disced
and seeded to spring wheat. Many Of
these plants survived this treatment
and produced large heads filled with
large kernels of very plump wheat.
The winter wheat on the stubble came
through the winter in excellent con-
dition and made fine growth in the
early part of the season, but the ex.
cessive drowth and heat of the sum.

failed to fill. This land produced

There will be nearly forty fields in

are conducted in fifteen different
counties.
Conclusion from these and similar

station farms; Winter wheat on the
Turke-- Red variety is the most hardy.
It SHOULD be seeded during the month
of August on a we'll prepared seed

ter wheat, particularly in the eastern
part of the state needs some winter
protection, this is best furnished by
stubble or corn stalks. In all prob.

most successfully in spring plowed

of corn in four is left standing to

officials, so we dealt with the crooked
private citizen, with the rich sWindler
in New York or Chicago as with the
horse thief or homicide in Inuian ter
ritory. We never attacked a man be-
cause he was man of one political
faith or another, because he did or did
not possess wealth; and we never
shielded him because he was poor or
rich, because he belonged to any par
ticular church or to any particular
party. But also wish you especially
to remember that we never hesitated
to shield him and stand up for him
once we were convinced that he was
improperly attacked. There is no
greater foe of honesty than the man
who, for any reason, in any capacity,
attacks, or seeks to attack, an honest
man for crime which he has not
committed. Falsely accusing an hon.
est man of dishonesty is an act which
stands on the same level of infamy
with that of the dishonest man him.
self; and it is no higher duty to at
tack the dishonest man than it Is to
exonerate the honest man falsely &C.
cused; and should be ashamed to
hesitate the fraction of second long
err in one case than in the other.
Remember that honesty cannot be
unilateral. Good citizens should cor
daily distrust the man who can never
see dishonesty excepting in men of
the class he dislikes. The reckless
agitator who invariably singles out
men of wealth as furnishing the only
examples Of dishonesty; and the
equally unscrupulous-but no more
unscrupulous-react who can
see dishonesty only in a Matchmaking
politician or crooked labor leader;
both stand on the same plane Of OBJ
nervousness. You will never get hon.
esty from politicians until you exact
honesty from business men; on the

Kansas City, Kan, Sept. l.-Theo'
dore Roosevelt delivered the follow
ing address in this city today:
There are certain matters which
should never be treated as party mat
tiers; and foremost among these is
the great and vital virtue OF honesty.
Honesty should be treated as prime
necessity to our success as a nation.
The minute that question of hon
esty as against dishonesty is involved,
then we must all act together as
Americans. without the slightest re-
gard to party affiliations. Honesty Is
not a party matter; and the first man
to attack scOundrel of any party
should be the honest men OF that
party. When in office, always pro-
ceeded upon the theory that there
would be no need of my opponents
raising the cry of Turn the rascals
out" because l would turn them out
myself just as soon as, by yigilant
and intelligent industry, could dis
cover them. The present Senator
Bristow, for instance, was in the post
Office department when information
reached me which convinced me that
there was extensive rascality being
practiced in the department. This
information came to me through the
then first assistant Postmaster gen.
eral, Mr.. Wynne-an admirable man
whose honesty l knew to be beyond
proof. The active work of the in
vestigation was done by another post
office official in whose honesty, cour-
age and energy had absolute conf
dence-the present Senator Bristow.
When he got through l knew that all
the rascals whose rascality could be
detected were out of office and that
all of them that had committed acts
which we could proceed against as
criminal were indicted or imprisoned.
As we dealt with the crooked public

But Jacob Pandons' slaves were well
trained In the use Of weapons, and at
their masters bidding Stayed the dis
possessed farmers whenever a fresh band
OF them tried to regain their former
rightful holdings.
And rs poor orphan Richard worked
about the castle or in the fields Of his
Irc,e he became acquainted with the
latter's rascaiity. And each day his
heart grew heavier and heavier, more in
sympathy for the poor people whom his
uncle rad robbed than In pity for him
self, though his own lot was very, very
hare to bear.
In ore part Of the valley lay great
placid lake, surrounded by splendid trees
aud grape vines. It was Richards duty
to 60 to the lakeside to gather fresh
grapes from the heavily-ladeu vines, thus
to supply his uncle's table with grapes.
But one day when he went to gather a
basket Of the luscious fruit he found sew
eral Ealf-grown boys there in advance
OF himself And they were nninS huge
BASKETS and carts with the fruit. When
they beheid Richard they bowed In q
friendly way and one OF them spoke:

arrogance Of your cousin. the ill-tem-
pered Susan. and Of your aunt Maria
Pandons. 1t is my intention to replace
this beautiful valley in the hands Of
those who rightfully own it, awarding
a nice part OF it to you for your kindness
to the farmers sons a while ago. And
they will most gladly share the rich val
ley with you-giving you SO acres Of the
land on which your uncle's castle stands.
The buildings shall belong to you"
"Oh. and I shall set the castle aside
as a home for the orphans Of the poor
men Uncle Jacob has slain," cried Rich
ard. Il shall be content with a little
cabin in the garden, where I shall have
such pleasure in growing things for the
good people to eat as we'll as for myself.
But and Richard looked uncertain
what is to become Of my uncle and his
family? He will never relinquish the
land to its rightful owners"

the young fellows who seemed such
fine, honorable lot for Richard knew by
looking into their honest blue eyes. at
their labor-developed bodies. at their
coarse but clean work-clothes, that they
were Just what they represented them
selves to be.
After the young farmer lads had filled
their baskets and hand-carts with great
punches of juice-filled grapes they
thanked Richard in friendly tones and
departed, going of through the heavy
timber to a spot where they could creep
from the valley into the uplands without
being seen by any Of the slave guards
stationed along the border Of old Jacob
Pandons' estates.
Then. As Richard was very tired from
having worked hard all day, he decided to
rest beneath great tree for few minutes
before gathering the grapes for his aunt's
dinner table. 80 he stretched himself on
the soft earth In the shade Of q friendly
tree and dropped asleep. He had not lain

BASALT


A republican rally was held here
on the night of the 25th. with Meesrs
Anderson, Wright. Beebe, and Nc.
Cracker as speakers. It had been
announced that Gov. Brady would
speak and the large crowd present
was somewhat disappointed at his
non-appearance.
1t was supposed the band would
enliven matters somewhat on Monday
night, but when the Bishop came in
with his instrument, smile passed
over the faces of the other members,
and their failure to bring instru-
ments they said was, that the last ten
dollars earned in that way, failed
to get any further, so far as the band
was concerned, then the pocket of
the same Bishop, the then acting
president of the band, and they were
not going to be caught twice on the
same pin hook.
A case of pulling chestnuts out of
the fire was witnessed at the rally
when radical socialist who had
come prepared, got another party,
more noted for gall than intelligence
to hand copy of Appeal to Reason,
to each of the speakers.
The radical part Of the socialist
party of Basalt have nominated Ar
Tea Queue fer justice, and N. D.
Johnson for constable.
Miss Mary Sorenson has gone to
Rexburg for another term at the
Academy.

be considered leader, who is so pro-
gressive he doesn't think girl needs |

DAMAGES AWARDED TO Gov
ERNMENT FOR DESTRUC-
TTON OF YOUNG FOREST

In an action for fire trespass on
the Black Hills National Fores,
brought by the United States against
the Missouri River and Northwestern
Railroad, the jury has awarded dam
ages to the government not only for
the loss of merchantable timber but
also for the destruction OF unmer-
charitable young growth.
This Is regarded by government
officials as establishing very impor-
tant precedent. So far as is known
al the U. s. department of agricul-
ture, it is the first time that any
court has recognized what foresters
call the expectation value" of young
growth as furnishing basis for the
award of damages. The difficulty in
the way of such an award in the past
has been that there was no way. to
prove to the satisfaction of the courts
the money value Of the loss suffered.
The award Id the South Dakota
case followed the PRESERVATION of evi-
dence as to the cost of work in re-
foresting which the government is
actually doing in the Black Hills.
The amount claimed for the young
growth burned was $12 an acre, and
the claim under this item was allow
ed in. full by the jury. The total
amount of damages claimed was So
1885, of which s2,634.45 was for
merchantable timber destroyed or
injured by the fire.
It*is recognized by foresters. that
the cost of artificial reforestation will
not always furnish fair basis for
estimating the damage to forest ri
production. Where new growth car
be expected by natural sowing from
seed trees on the ground within d
short time, artificial planting or SOW
ing is an unnecessarily expensive
method. To meet such cases what
are known as yield tables" ara be-
ing prepared. BY the use of these
the loss can be shown in terms OF the
final crop and the time necessary to
produce it. I.
Thus if it is KNOWN that ten thou
sand feet of timber per acre can be
cut once in seventy years, it is easy
10 calculate the value of the crop
when 1t is ten years old by discount
ing from its value when mature. In 4
European countries where forestry
las been long practiced this method
s regularly applied in selling, con-
lemning, or estimating damages on
crest property 1t is also used y
'broad in insurance, which would be
mpracticable II there were not both
