The crops I'll Used this year in the
Judith Basin and Judith Gap dis
tricts indicate that by using the
proper methods of cultivation, SOW
ing, and careful selection of seed,
that Il failure will never beknown in
central Montana. The rainfall re-
ceived during the growing season this
year has been one-third OF the normal
amount received during the previous
thirty years. Still there are many
fields Of winter wheat that will yield
from Is to 40 bushels; spring wheat,
II to 2S: flax, 10 to Is: oats, % to 80:
corn fodder that will furnish from B
to tons of succulent feed to the
acre, and, all in all, crops are being
harvested this unfavorable year that
are money makers to the owners.
It's up to the farmer. Study the con-
ditions. mix plenty OF brains with
the manual labor, and success is
bound to be yours.

WESTWARD THE STAR or EMPIRE.

For twenty years the center of pop
ulation has been at Columbus,
Indiana, and in view of the tremen-
dous movement of population to the
far west III the past ten years it is the
belief of statisticians that the census
this year will move the center to
Michigan or Wisconsin. This center
OF population is the center Of gravity
of the population, each individual be-
ing assumed to have the same weight.
How this center of population is ar
rived at is interestingly told by the
Boston Herald. The United States is
assumed to be perfectly flat, ii plane,
and it is divided up into squares like
Il checker board. These squares are
called square degrees" and they are
made up Of the areas inclosed be-
tween consecutive parallels of lati-
tude and meridians of longitude The
population of each square degree is
then assumed to be located at the cen
ter Of that square degree. except in
eases where it is quite clear that such
an assumption could not be true, as
where a part of the square is occu-
pied by the sea or some other large
body OF water, or where it contains
some large city which is situated
'Otf CENTER In such eases the posi-
ton of the center is estimated as
closely as is possible.
The mathematical spot moves but
once a decade, and now for more than
century it has moved westward.
1t first located east Of Baltimore.
Then it passed over the city in the
1905. lii 1900 it was sixteen miles
west Of Baltimore, having journeyed
in all fOrty-siN miles nearer the Pa
cific coast, and located forty miles
northwest by west of Washington. In
1870 it was sixteen miles north Of
Woodstock, w. Va. the distance
made being fifty miles.

With the wheat harvest Of the
world well completed. all now re-
naming being the stacking Of cut
grain, the miilers and business men
are wondering if there is to be
another period of ''holding wheat"
Farmers who looked at the last gov
eminent report, with it's prospects Of,
62S, 200, 900 bushels for the country, as
against 49, 200, 900 bushels last year,
and perhaps 35.OO0,0 900 bushels car
ried over showing net loss of 72,-
0Oo,oO0 bushels, are trying to decide
which is better to do-sell or hold.
The experience of last year in hold
ing wheat for dollar was not entire
~ satisfactory. Many wheat raisers
held too long and finally when the
banks urged settlement closed out
their holdings at 81 cents, when they
might have cleaned up at figure
nearer the dollar mark. The one
feature Of the present situation that
may move grain is the attitude Of the
BANKS, when are IN no condition to
extend assistance in carrying the
crop. They are trying to reduce
loans, and are unwilling to add to
their accumulation of discounts. We
have often heard from those posted
OH market conditions OF the past
years, that the wheat raisers that
made the money were usually those
who sold at II fair price soon after
threshing. However, it is expected
because OF the present situation Of
the banks that large portion Of the
wheat crop will be marketed as soon
as threshed, and that then the cereal
will reach mark in the neighbor-
hood Of .25 to Sl.35.

WILL TnE lNsURGeNr DESTROY +. K?


They are unhappy over the failure of
Theodore Roosevelt to kick himself
out Of the republican party. He was
to be their leader: they were TO cap

hold the fat jobs and the Taft admin

outraged and iniamed populace.
From the moment when 7. II.
emerged from the bush until the pres

and praying that the mighty word
would come--the word that was to
light the signal fires and touch off
the stored indignation of the people.
But the insurgent hope has grown
wan with waiting. and now the hide
Gus thought has thurst itself upward
in the insurgent brain. 1--WE can't
use Roosevelt This thought is
closely followed by that fine old
question. "Where are we at"
OF course, the insurgents as Il body
have not gone beyond this question.
They are still daZed. But there are Il
few thinkers in the insurgent ranks
who have already tackled the prob
lem that confronts them. Among
them IS .1ud Wplliver. who is credited
with the honor Of being one of the
founders Of insurgency. In a maya

insurgents to use his popularity for

PREDICTS A PURGED PARTY.

To the Editor OF the Tribune:
Sir; In your editorial THE Hand OF
Reaction you inquire when the fight
against the .'old guard is going to begin,
and the answer should not be hard to
find.
The ''oId guard boast that there will
be no direct primary plank in the plat
form, and they gloat over the fact that
thew have snubbed and insulted our great
Governor and our beloved ex-President,
and now they propose to go ahead and
nominate a state ticket of their own kind.
That being the case Tor challenge, rather.
the fight will be pulled off on the Sth
of next November between the hours of
a. m. and 5 p. m, and IL the gang"
does not see a light early that evening.
If they are able to see anything. we badly
miss our guess.
The writer has been a lifelong Repub-
licap and is a member OF the local dis
trict club, and earnestly endeavorS TO do
what he can for the party's good. but If
one can read the signs of these times the
party as at present constituted will get
thorough purging this fall in this state.
Let us hose also that no high class man
will be hoodwinked into heading their
ticket and thus end his own career The
better element of the party are to-day in
no mood to swallow a sop of that kind

METROPOLITAN OPERA CONTEST
Composer Decries Extension of Time
for Competitors.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir Please permit me, through your col
umns. TO ask of William K Vanderbilt
Clarence Fl. Mackay, Otto H. Kahn, Eben
d Jordan. George J. Gould. Harry Payne
Whitney, Henry Rogers Winthrop and
others directors of the METROPOLITAN
Opera Company Of New York, their care
full considerat ton of q matter which seems
America. the public in general and them
selves as men of honor in particular. In
The Tribune of July Is there appeared an
interview with Otto Ii. Kahn concerning
the contest for prize of $40. 900 offered in
1903 by their board. This interview con-
tsined q statement which is singularly at
variance with the terms and the object
of the printed offer of the directors which
/ have before me.
Mr.. Kahn states that the date for clos
ing the competition has been postponed
for a year from the time specified in the
official circular, giving as the reason that
some unnamed correspondent or corre-
spondents had asked that the time be eN-
tended so that they might have a chanca
TO compete. and that their wishes had
Leen complied with, perhaps arbitrarily,
because only few scores had been handed
in. May suggest that Mr.. Kahn does not
and can not know how many scores will
be offered for the reason that the original
period of competition is not yet ended
and il is far from likely that any score
now in the making will he sent in much
before the day set in the circular. Wa

4 PATHETIC INCIDENT.

There is something pathetic in the
tale which comes to us from New Jersey
Of the wanderer returning after nearly
half q century TO the village where his
hoyhood days were spent. Tears almost
come to our eyes as they came unbidden
To his when we learn how he saw mod
ern building in place Of the home he
knew as q child, how he went to the rear
and took drink from the we'll IN which
bis boyish reflection had been seen near
~ two generations ago, and how, after
gathering from an apple tree which as
Il boy he used TO climb some OF the
fruit thereof. he took train for Bos-
ton. The part relating his taking pas
sage for Boston has, however, no rela-
ton to the tears we almost shed
incidentally, however, and very incl
dentally. we learn that when he went
away he left behind him, half century
ago. wife and some small children.
Also incidentally, he now announces
that he viii hire detectives TO hunt them
up. if they are still living. 1t might
seem to some that the sentiment shown
in weeping over the demolition of his
hoyhood home would have displayed it
self during the five or SIX hundred
months of his absence in n desire to see
the woman he had sworn to love, honor
and protect and the children for whom
he had accepted responsibility. The
answer TO this is that raising wheat In
Kansas is a most engrossing occupation,
So much so that such minor matters as
the condition of ones family naturally
wonld never come UP for considera tloh'
We hope the sentimental Wanderef
will get to Boston safely and that the
apples Will agree with him better than
some of the fruit of the same tree ald
Il generation or two ago We nope. too'
that he will. incidentally, succeed in
finding his family His devotion to them
