VITAL TRUTHS
IN CORN RAISING
How | Raised the Best Corn i'm
The World" Bv the Man
Who Did Ii

The Indiana farmer, whose com
took the first prize tells a few of the
foundation principles which he fol-
lows in raising corn. He considers
the two vital considerations the
preparation of the soil and the selec-
ton of the seed. Following is an
extract from his article,
Il am almost convinced that condi-
ton of the soil is most important
factor in successful corr growing.
Here are a few rules that | follow:
A complete system of drainage. A
rotation of corn, wheat, and clover.
The clover comes every third year
and is followed bv corn. Plenty of
barnyard manure j. applied. ! have
found that commercial fertilizers OF
the right kind and rightly applied,
will add some to the yield and con
siderable to the quality.
StieCttDn Oh SeeI
There is no question but that The
Improvement of com is as possible
as the Improvement of live stock
This may be accomplished either by
breeding or By selection. Every
farmer should be in close touch witt
his experiment station which is te It

Political Outlook

The two factions of the RepuDII-'

hope of the conservative members
of both factions that there might be
no open break, for the sake of the
party itself, but the leaders have
decided otherwise.
The insurgents have followed the
lead of the stalWartS in issuing a
call for a conference at Huron Feb.

their example also IN not naming a

STEAM LAUNDRY ANOTHER
POSSIBILITY FOR MILLER
Cigar Factory and Hospital Inn
provements For 1910
Commercial Club Agitates Sever
al New Enterprises For
Miller

Mlllcr's Commercial Club is ad-
vertising for some new enterprises
to assist in building up the city in
1910. Among the suggestions Of
fered for possible improvements are
those of a steam laundry and a
cigar factory, and advertisements
have been put in the Minneapolis,
Sioux City and Omaha papers to
that effect.
The suggestion in regard to the
laundry was that it could be situat-
ed next to the electric light pl ant
and run by that power. Lacrosse,
Huron and other places are getting
the benefit at the present time,
instead of some home industry, and
it would probably bring in several
new citizens as employees.
The cigar factory would also find
just as good an opening in Miller,
and would likewise bring in new
citizens, and Miller would receive
the benefit of the large sum of
money spent, instead of some other
city.
As mentioned in last weeks PRESS
a hospital is another possibility for
this city in the near future, anG
other propositions will doubtless
come up as they occur to the Cub
This year is the time for Miller to get
busy, and there is every evidence
that she is going to do SO.
The Commercial Club was organ.
lzed to promote the city's welfare
and it is open to suggestions for any
kinds of improvements. With {
membership of nearly one hundred
men, representing practically every
business interest in Miller, it is
amply prepared to consider the
greatest possible good for the great,
est possible number, and there is
every reason to believe that Miller
is on the eve of the most prosperous
year in her history.
By January LIST, 1911, the loya
Millerite will probably be able to buy
his cigars home made. get his collars
Numbered at home, and take his sicl
wife to a home hospital.

Proposals and Moonlight

This heading is suggestive but 1t
is not personal at all. 1t is called to
mind by a discussion among the Chi
cago University faculty, as to WHY so
few professors are successful in Gu
pid's game, and the conclusion reach
ed is that they are too academic to
seek the suspicious moment, when
the moon is bathing the sordid old
earth in agolden light. The learned
gentlemen agreed that it was the
"grossest folly to expect a girl tC
give a favorable answer except in the
moonlight. These unsuccessful suit,
ors are certainly up against it but
they might come TO Miller before
they give up in despair.

CROP YIELD IN
HISTORY OF HAND CO.
Over Two Million Dollars Added
To County's Wealth i'm 90
Record OF Past Year One OF
Bumper Crops and High
Prices

The farmers of Hand county
reared the immense fortune of
81, 266,000 from their crol S of 1909.
Taese figures spell wealth for many
o. them, and comfortabl circum-
stances for all. This is AN increase
of about $s0a,o00 over the value Of
the crop of the previous year. at the
same time.
The valuation of the grain pro-
duction in Hand county has shown a
S teady increase for the last ten
years, and the yea lust past shows
a remarkable increase in acreage,
yields and prices. One Of the most
gratifying features of this years
record is the large acreage, the
total amount put to crop in 1909
beng over 70, 000 acres more than in
'06, and 81. 900 acres more than in
'0S. This is a conclusive proof that
the county is being filed with new
settlers. The price, quoted are
those paid at Miller Dee. 3lst 90,

Wednesday, Feb 9th the six pu-

sang a hunting song, 4 violin duet
by Nh Speirs and daughter Florence

the high school room, four boys and
seven girls held their contest. The
theme was temperance, and as be-
fore, the judges, MRS Morrison of
Miller. Mr. Court, principal of the
Highmore schools, and a gentleman
from Highmore, whose mans we
did not learn found it difficult to
decide, AS Mr. Court said he wished
he had a pocket full of medals, as
they each deserved one. Miss Mary
Berry was the honored one. A song
by four pupils Of the primary room,
solos by Miss Morrison and Miss
Edenburn composed the rest of the
program. Miss Hulsey gave two
readings each evening, which were
greatly enjoyed by all, and in the
training of the contestants she dis
played great talent. We hear there
will be another contest by the older
people in the near future.
