POLITICAL renouncement.

political announcement.
The situation is acute and prom
Uses sensational developments. No
one has attempted as yet to quote the
president. When Mr.. LaFollette
and Mr.. Cummins go to the white
house they are kindly received. But
all of the insurgents and progress
sives, with the possible exception of
Senator Nelson of Minnesota, who
fought and voted against the tariff
siderate treatment in patronage mat
tiers which precedents warranted
them in expecting.
Cannon Feels War Vital.
With Speaker Cannon and certain
other members of the organization it
is a fight to the finish. The speaker
realizes that with the assistance of
the administration his task of pro-
longing his political life will be ma
terially lightened. Either the speak
err must, by coalition or otherwise,
drive the insurgents back into the
ranks or out of congress, or he will
himself be unable to retain the con-
troll which he now has in legislative
matters. Leaders in congress on the
republican side are now accustomed
to perfect discipline and implicit
obedience. They cannot tolerate the
presence in their ranks of insurgents
or independents Their own views
regarding legislation and policy
should be accomplished rather than
the sentiment of the people repre-
scented by those they would now read
out of the party.
Speaker Quotes old Words.
Speaker Cannon, asked tonight
about the proposed war on the insur-
gents, turned to copy of a speech
which he delivered in Kansas City on
December last, and quoted from it
the following paragraph as express
sive of his opinion of the course that
ought to be pursued against the in
surgents:
when Lincoln found an army
marching on the national capital
from the south and u body of sympa-
timers in the north encouraging that
army, he said it was difficult to de-
termine which was the most threat
ening to the welfare of the nation.
History repeats itself, and when Sen
ators Cummins, LaFollette, Bristow
and their so-called progressive fol-
lowing join hands with Mr.. Bryan in
waging war upon the republican
members of congress who passed the
tariff bill and upon President Taft
who signed it, 1 know of but one way
to treat them, and that is fight them
just as we fight Mr.. Bryan and his
followers"

THE COAL FAMINE.

Reports from all over the. state in
dictate the seriousness of the coal
shortage. The railroad commission
is being appealed to from various
sections and towns. Some coal mines
have shut down on account of deep
snow; the coal ordered by dealers in
the cities and towns is falling to ar
rive. Factories are pleading for fuel
and some factories have been obliged
to cease operations.
The charge is freely made that
railroads are communicating the
coal and storing it against their time
of need. The railroads claim they
are doing all they can and are de-
livering as rapidly as possible. They
say that the cold weather so reduces
the hauling power of their locomo-
tives that with showed in tracks, etc.,
they cannot do the work.
However, it may be Iowa ought
not to face coal famine every time
a white frost falls. 1t would be we'll
for the railroad commission to take
time from viewing private crossings
and like to investigate into the
cases and wherever possible apply
the remedy. A report on conditions,
causes and suggestion of remedial
possibilities would be worth the
money-and that is a consideration
the railroad commission of Iowa
should not forget.
1t is plainly impossible that every
consumer, of large or small quanti-
ties of coal, can in the fall lay in a
complete supply for six months
season. There is something wrong
which cannot be justly laid at the
door Of the consumer or retailer

Beet a Valuable Plant

The beet is one of the most valuable
of cultivated plants. The red garden
varieties furnish savory table vegetables,
the large forage beets form an excellent
food for cattle. and the sugar beet is ONE
Of the principal sources of sugar and
alcohol. The usefulness of this valu-
able root has now been increased by the
production Of an edible -four from sugar
beets. The desiccation of sliced sugar
beets (ZuckerschnhzelD is already prac.
tised in Germany on a very extensive
scale, but the product is employed ex
clusively as fodder for cattle. In Bel
GUM. however, q meal is now made
from dried beets which. according to o
paper read before the recent Chemical
Congress in London. is entirely free
from the distinctive flavor of the beet
and is suitable for use in making cakes,
puddings and pastry. AS it contains
about IS per cent of sugar, it can often
be substituted, with advantage, for SUI
gar, in somewhat larger quantities.
The processes of d~esiccation and grinding
not only cost less than the extraction OF
sugar, but preserve all the sugar Of the
beet, part Of which is rejected in the
form of molssses. in the process OF sugar
making.

Test of Diamonds Easy

Most persons are obliged, in the pur-
chase of a diamond, to rely upon the
word of the man who sells the stone
While many years of observation and
experience are needed to become an ex-
pert with respect to the value and purity
Of q diamond, yet there are certain SIM
Pile tests capable of being made by the
most inexperienced.
One is by means of a needle hole
pricked through a piece of ordinary
cardboard. Looking through the stone
tested at the card board, one will see tive
holes if the diamond be spurious-only
one if the gem be genuine. The reason
for this is that an imitation diamond will
give a double refraction. the real tone
but one refraction.
1t is claimed that there is no acid hav-
ing any perceptible effect upon a genu-
inc diamond. Hydrofiuoric acid will,
if dropped upon a stone made of glass,
corrode it, but upon a bona ide stone it
will have no effect at all.

for years with a patience unparalleled
More than a half a ton of reports on ex

more than 5000 experiments were made
without obtaining the results which
Mr.. Edison wanted. A visitor to whom

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
FOR BOYS AND GIRLS

Within recent years q new method of
agricultural education has been devised
in the form Of boys and girls clubs.
| Such clubs have various objects. but
usually they provide for prize contests
among the members. Corn-growing
contests are probably the most common
among the boys. although many other
crops have been tried. while the girls
compete in bread. making or sewing. or
even test their skill against that Of the
boys in gardening.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture has information Of 395 coun.
ties in % States in which such clubs are
organized, with Q total membership OF
about IA, 900. New York has about
rs, 200 members, Nebraska $4,000, and
other States smaller numbers. One
county 10 Pennsylvania has 2000 men,
bers. In most cases these clubs are
organized under the auspices of some
State authority, such as the Commits
sioner Of Agriculture. the Superin-
tendent Of Public Instruction. the Agri-
cultural College. or q society, like the
State Corn Growers Association Of Dele
ware. But in many cases the County
Superintendent takes the initiative.
while in many other cases the rural
teachers arrange contests among their
own pupils.
The United States Department Of Ag-
riculture also gives assistance through
the Office of Experiment Stations, by
furnishing advice and suggestions.
Through the departments Farmers
Bulletins the most practical instruction
in the growing Of corn and other crops
may be had by the boys, while the girls
may obtain bulletins on matchmaking
or gardening.
A new Farmers Bulletin on Boys
and Girls Agricultural Clubs tells how
to organize the clubs, how to conduct
the contests, and what publications will
be useful to the boys and girls. This
bulletin may be obtained free upon ap.
p~lication to a member Of Congress, or to

POTATO IRRIGATION BULLETIN
United States Agricultural De-
partment Issues Valuable In
formation for Nevadans

A bulletin issued by the u. 8. Agri.
cultural Department contains q chapter
on irrigating potatoes, as follows:
With thorough cultivation. for pota-
toes planted the fret of May. irrigation
10 seldom necessary until July. Gener-
ally speaking. irrigation water lie cold
and 1t is highly important not to irri-
gate too frequently, since the water not
only causes the soil to run together but
lowers the temperature to . point that
is not favorable to the growth Of pota-
toes. Irrigation water is applied only
when the condition Of the plants indi-
Gates that they are in need of water. as
BY d~arkening Of the fcliaee. Or one may
dig down in . hill and press a handful
Of soil in the hand; IL 1t fails to retain
it's form irrigation is needed. Care
the ground is too dry, because n m
not cover the whole field Of potatoes in
n days irrigation, and some are likely
to suffer for water before being reached.
The writer's experience is hat IL pota-
toes are grown as rapidly as possible, SO
as to become strong and we'll established
early in the season. they Withstand the
maximum Of unfavorable weather con-
later on, when the hot dry winds be-
come . menace to the crop.
When the time for irrigation arrives.
q v shaped trench half way between the
rows should be opened in alternate mid
dies with an 8 or 10 inch lister pillow;
that is. . narrow pillow with q double
moldboard which throws the dirt each
way. In these burrows the irrigation
water Is run 30 that the soil will not be-
come solidified by flooding. and the nec.
sssary amount Of water may be proper
~ distributed. For the second irriga-
ton burrows are opened in the middles
that were not opened at the first irriga.
ton. and this alienation is continued
for succeeding irrigations. At the head
Of each field is q feeder ditch from
which the water is admitted to these ir-
rigation burrows between the rows. 1t
is essential that the right quantity of
water be used, and that it be uniformly
distributed. Cultivation should com
mence as soon after irrigation as the
soil will permit so as to insure rapid and
uniform growth without check. This
will not only result in the production Of
smooth. uniform tubers Of attractive
appearance. which are always in de-
mand at high prices, but will also result
in large, profitable yields and at the
same time keep the soil in good me-
chanical condition for future crops. Do
not irrigate after August 10. so as to
give 80 or go days for %ripening in dry
earth.
