SAN FRANCISCO IS
THE LOGICAL PLACE
Omaha Man Tells Why Exposition
Should Go to California.

San Francisco has some very good
friends in the middle-west and in the
Mississippi valley section, friends
who are not at all backward in ex-
city as the site for the proposed ex
position in celebration of the compile
ton of the Panama canal.
This fact was strikingly illustrated
recently through the effort of the spe-
cial representative of the New Or
leans exposition boosters, in Omaha,
to secure an endorsement for the
southern city from the Commercial
club, Omaha's leading organization of
business men.
In trying to secure this endorse
ment, }. B. Haynes, New Orleans
special representative, addressed a
circular letter to the members of the
club and rece'' reply which must
have had the -<t of cold douche
on his hopes.
Haynes letter and the reply, which
is signed by r. Miller, one of the
most influential members of the club,
are here given:
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION CO.,
NEW RLEANS-LOGICAL POINT.
Offices in the Brandeis Theater Bldg.
Telephone: Douglas 827.
Omaha, Neb., Sept. 13, 1910.
My Dear Sir-I understand the Com
mercial club has asked it's members to
express in the form of postcard vote
a preference as between New Orleans
and San Francisco-the two cities which
are competing for congressional action
designating a city in which to celebrate
the completion of the Panama canal in
1915. Before casting your vote. please
read the enclosed circular containing
points bearing directly ON the subject.
In forming a conclusion in the case, do
not forget the shabby treatment accord
ed to the big Nebraska delegation which,
at large expense, took a special to Cali
fOrnia to induce the Legislature at Sac
ramento to provide for an exhibit at the
exposition in Omaha In 1898. That leg
islature passed such a bill, but before
the Omaha delegation had travelled many
miles on the return trip the bill was re-
pealed, and California did not partici-
pate in the Omaha exposition. More
over, within the last few months the
San Francisco Chronicle printed an edi-
torial asserting the failure of the Omaha
exposition That city is positively un-
friendly to Omaha for some reason or
other.
The Worlds Panama Exposition COM
pany Of New Orleans is bidding for
Omaha's support. It has done what no
other exposition company ever did by
establishing a branch office in Omaha,
which is a compliment to this city, to
say the least, and is enough to entitle
the New Orleans project to the thought
full consideration of every citizen Of
Omaha.
I would appreciate a reply.
Yours truly,

Seeding Mean Poor Crops
BY TAFT Butler.

somewhat on the variety or size Of
the grains, and the fertility Of the
land; but the best yields of whea,
are probably made from around u
bushels of seed per acre. bushe
to " bushels is about right. Fol
oats heavier seeding is required
but the quantity used by good oat
growers varies considerably. Some
use as much as and even 4 bushels
per acre. but from 2 to bushels to
" bushels per acre should be am
pie. When sowed broadcast by hand
a little more seed should probably
be used than when put in with q
grain drill.
1t Pays to Use q Grain Drill.
With the increasing acreage which
is being put into wheat and oats and
the prospect for still larger acreages
being sowed every year, we advise
that farmers plan for the buying OF
grain drills for putting in the oats.
wheat and other small seeds. Better
yields are obtained by seeding with
drill than from hand sowing. The
cost is too great for one farmer who
only puts in few acres, but one
drill will do the work of a half dozen
or more such farmers. and there is
no reason why they should not COM
bine in the purchase of such imple-
ments. OF course, any farmer hav-
ing rs or more acres to SOW to oats,
wheat or rye, etc., can afford to own a
drill, but smaller farmers would find
it more economical to combine for
the purchase Of such implements that
are only used for a few days in the
year. We are rather partial to the
disk drills with attachments for COM
pressing the soil on the seed, but any
OF the several hundred grain drills
on the market will do satisfactory
work. No manufactures will put his
money into the manufacturing OF i'm
plements until he has demonstrated
they will do good work, and IL any
farmer buys one and does not get
satisfactory results the fault is much
more likely to be his lack Of knowl-
edge Of how to manage it than any
defect in the implement. In the
Southeastern States where oats win
ter kill more than in the Gulf States,
the open furrow method of sowing
is becoming more popular. Our trav-
els, even in this latter section, how
ever, convinced us that the open fur
row method OF sowing oats should
be adopted throughout the entire
south. AS many, or more. oats will
be produced when winter killing does
not occur, but more or less winter
killing occurs everywhere during all
seasons, and in such cases the open
furrow method of seeding is unques-
tionably superior.
The Open FurrOw Method.
The objections to the open furrow
method are the absence of an imple-
ment that will enable the man with
two or more horses to SOW his crop
rapidly and economically. and the
rough condition in which the ground
is left. The latter objection is large
ly removed by running a smoothing
harrow over the land in the spring.
The seed being deposited in the bot
tom OF a comparatively deep furrow
and only lightly covered come up
well, are protected by the sides Of
the furrow from frost and the fall

ed the breaking of the land fol
Il oats and wheat, but perhaps
too much attention can not be given
to the Importance of finely pulver-
lied, compact seed bed. Our falls
are generally dry, and while this ap-
plies more especially to the Gulf
States, it is also factor to be con-
sidered in the Southeastern States.
For this reason the preparation of
the seed bed for fall sowed crops be-
comes an especially important mat
ter and one requiring the exercise of
more care and judgement than is
usually given to it.
If the land can be broken and we'll
pulverized early in the fall, say a
month or more before seeding time
and then narrowed after each rain,
sufficient moisture will be stored, an
average year, to insure the seed ger
minating and coming up to good
stand. The thorough pulverizing of
the soil compacts it sufficiently to
put it in condition to absorb all
moisture that is likely to fall and
the narrowing keeps the surface
broken SO as to prevent large loss of
this moisture by evaporation. The
presence of large quantities of weeds,
grass, or other vegetable matter on
the land is frequent cause of failure
to prepare the seed bed in such
manner as to retain the necessary
moisture. If the growth of vegeta-
BILE matter be large, it will be dry
weather cause the soil to remain
loose and open. even though it be
turned under thoroughly. Disking
before breaking, or moving the
growth and then disking, will put it
in much better condition for being
mixed with the soil; but If this can
not be done. or is not done, then it
should be completely turned under
and the land thoroughly disked and
narrowed after the breaking, in or
der to compact or settle the soil.
On every farm there should be
roller and for no purpose will it be
found more valuable than for COM
pacing the land on which wheat
and oats are sowed. 1t may be used
before or after sowing the grain, but
preferably before. If used after
seeding light narrowing should be
given Immediately after the rolling
to prevent the great loss of moisture
which will take place from the
smooth surface produced by the
roller.
Time to Seed and Quantity to Use.
The best time for seeding is so
variable in different years and in
different parts of our territory that
no definite advice can be given that
will suit all. but a few general sug-
gestion may be made. While too
Yearly seeding Of wheat in those sec
|tions infested with the Hessian fly
will render it more subject to the
ravages of this pest and such early
seeding of both wheat and cats as to
cause too large a growth before
cool weather comes is Objectionable:
still, we have noticed that oats and
wheat sowed sufficiently early to OBJ
tain fair growth and become thor
oughly rooted give much better re-
suits than when sowed so late that
cold weather comes on before suffi-
cient growth has been made to en-
able the plants to become well estab-
lished. Throughout the greater part
