Grand Forks Times: The figures
of the votes cast in the June primary
election show some interesting facts.
The claims of the democratic candi-
date for governor are that he is the
popular choice of the people irrespec-
tive of party and upon this basis he
proposes to break down party lines.
An analysis OF the election returns
will show that as a popular candidate
the democratic leader ds at least
fourth in the race.
In the June primaries johnson for
governor, received 20,591 votes, Blu
chanan 1906; Aaker 1880; Wilson
6, OO4 and Stimmel 1885, making to-
tai of 56,376 voters who participated
in the republican primary. The dem
ocratic candidate received in that pri-
mary 9,770 votes. He received less
than IS per cent Of the vote. cast by
the two parties. Mr.. Johnson receiv-
ed more than 81 per cent of the same
total or more than twice thepercent'
age Of the democratic candidate.
Three candidates in the primary re-
ceived more votes than the democrat
and yet he is making his campaign
on the grounds that his choice repre-
SCENTS a popular upheaval.
Such a contention is a reflection
upon the political honesty and intel
ligence not only of the 10000 voters
who voted for c. A. Johnson, but like
wise upon the 10000 others who voted
for other candidates, and who like
honest men are ready to accept ma
jority rule. Had Mr.. Aaker or Mr.
Buchanan been the republican choice,
the democratic candidate would have
made the same contention. Thus the
theory that republicans should vote
for the democratic candidate because
he is the popular choice, when sub
jected to the analysis, fades into thin
air. Governor Burke has been the
beneficiary of discussions in the re-
publican ranks, not because the peo-
pie loved him, but because he was
their opportunity.
Now look at the record Of the dem.
ocratic candidate on the public ques

democrat. Grover Cleveland was tho
democratic candidate for president
in 1922 He was q believer in free
ale and sent tho only message to
congress devoted entirely to that sub
tect. Governor Burke as a democrat
talked and voted for his election 40
we'll as the democratic congress which
came into power with Mr.. Cleveland.
Not only did he do this as a citizen,
but he was a member of the senate
which convened in January, 1893, and
that legislature elected Roach to the
United States Senate, and when thu
notorious Wilson bill was passed by
the senate it had one majority. Roach
voting for it. Under that tariff bin
North Dakota farmers sold wheat fAr
SO cents bushel aQd the present
democratic candidate for governor
helped to force 1t on the nation.
When the duty Of selecting Unit
ed States senator rested upon him
two years ago, the governor did not
seek out a man who stood for dol
lar wheat to place in the position
where he would vote upon that ques-
ton, but took rather a fellow demo-
crat who had, like himself, in his
private capacity, talked and voted for
the party which believed in and pu,
upon the statute books the 50 cent
wheat law.
Do the farmers want return to SO
cent wheat? Once before one vote in
the senate and that one from North
Dakota, permitted the passage Of such
a law. Within the last two years
the democratic candidate has appoint
ed member of the senate. The wiz
dom of omnipotence is such that this
power may again come to the COVER
nor who Is elected next month. Do
the farmers want q man who has
worked and voted for so cent wheat
or one who stands for exactly the re-
verse to make that appointment?
That is a living issue in the present
fight. It is based not on the pres
ent fight. It Is based not on the pres
emit candidates promises, but upon
his acts. Is 1t. not more essential to
the welfare and prosperity Of the
people of the state than the hero and
popular idol theory upon which the
democratic candidate seeks to win?

made to yield 800 bushels of potatoes
to the acre where twenty now grow,
a great many worthy people who now
exc out a precarious existence laying
brick and driving hacks and running
trolley cars would be for the country
and proceed to get wealthy.
This, in its turn, would result in
greatly increasing the proosc of
all the necessities of life, which in
volume have fallen behind the stead
lily increasing percentage of popula-
ton. He ad an imposing array Of
figures to yresent to the House to
prove that VI lie the population Of the
United States had been jumping ahead
BY leaps and bounds for the last
twenty years the production of cattle,
hogs, sheep, grain, potatoes and other
meat and vegetables, staples had fall
en- behind.
Out on his farm in Ohio Mr.. Doug
las raises lots of things. One of the
ways he makes money so that he can
stay in Congress is by fattening thin
cattle and selling them to the Beef
Trust.
''I get so much money for my fat
stock, :" he said, with tears in his eyes,
chat I am ashamed to take it."
Mr.. Douglas added that any man
who had been running decent farm
for the last five years and hadn't got
so wealthy that he had Brussels car
pet on the woodshed floor and pedi-
greed Great Dane sitting on the front
porch had only himself to blame.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
told Mr.. Douglas just the other day,
he said, of an instance in New York
not six miles from ithaca where land
had been sold recently for 50 an acre.
Representatives John Dwight and
Dryden and Representative Bennett,
of the Bronx, later confirmed these
figures.
The Secretary also told Mr.. Doug
las Of the case Of New York farmer
who had poor, worn-out hill farm
on which he had raised the year be-
fore only twenty bushels Of potatoes
to the acre. At that none of them
were large enough for market. The
farmer was induced by an agent Of
the Department to try an experiment
with his land. He was supplied with
Government seed potatoes, told how
to do the trick, and without the use
of fertilizer he came across with 200
bushels to the acre, and since then
has raised nothing but potatoes.
That Mr.. Douglas considers an ar
gument for greatly increased appro-
priation for agricultural purposes.

A. j. S., Allanstand, N. G., writes:
/ have some very steep mountain land
of a dark loamy soil everything red
sandy subsoil. Would like to know
the best grass for such land for pas
ture? How would alfalfa do on this
land? / would like plan for de-
stroying the ox-eye daisy.
Answer: 1t is rather hard to say
just how we'll certain varieties Of
grass or alfalfa might succeed under
the conditions outlined in your let
ter. A grass that will form sod
would be best, of course, for very
steep land, and blue grass would be
excellent for the purpose, provided
the climatic conditions will enable
you to grow this grass successfully.
You do not mention the elevation,
hence I am not prepared to say how
we'll blue grass will be on your land.
From 1000 feet UP blue grass as a
rule will do fairly well. Next to it as
sodding grass would be red top,
though orchard grass will answer the
purpose very nicely, and will be more
likely to succeed under variety of
conditions than any of the other va
rieties mentioned. 1t also makes eX-
cellent grazing, and you will find it
a hardy and satisfactory grass in
every way, the virtues of which as a
rule are not fully appreciated.
The land described might grow al
falfa very well if it is rich. Alfalfa
loves dark loamy soil, and one of
the reasons why we have a good deal
of difficulty in starting it in the South
| is because Of the tenacious character
of our subsoils. Judging from your
letter this would not be difficulty
in your case, and so / think 1t would
pay you to try alfalfa on a small
area. Sow an acre in the fall from the
LIST to 18th of September, fertilize
| the land we'll with phosphates and
| potash and top-dress the young alfal-
ia with nitrate Of soda after it Is up.
The nitrate of soda should be put on
when the leaves are dry so as not to
burn them.
There is only one plan of destroy
ing the ox-eye daisy with which am
familiar, that is the persistent culti-
walton of the land and cutting the
plants so as to prevent their seeding.
They seed very freely, as you doubt
less know if you have had experience
with this pest. Summer following
! the land or putting in cowpeas to act
as a smother crop will help you to
control the pest. Fight it for all you
are worth, for it is a fearful nuisance
and will spread all over your farm
unless you hold it in check.

Best Time to Sow Alfalfa.

M, D. r. A., Lucketts, writes: l
desire to SOW six acres in alfalfa.
plowed the land in May and am going
to lime it at the rate of thirty bushels
per acre to SOW in August When is
the best time to SOW in the fall?
What is the best way to cultivate and
fertilize alfalfa?
Answer: Lime the land intended
for alfalfa by all means. From TWEEN
ty to thirty bushels is a liberal
amount to use. Use twenty pounds
of good, clean seed and test its germ
mating power before using. The
seed should be passed through a sieve
of twenty meshes to the inches in
order to remove dodder which is a
most pernicious pest, and as there is
much of it in alfalfa seed it will pay
you to sieve it carefully by hand be-
fore sowing. If the season is favor
able, you may SOW alfalfa from the
18th of August to the 18th of Sep
TENDER. Early sowing is advisable so
the alfalfa can make strong de-
velopment before cold weather, but
it should not be allowed to go into
the winter with too much as it may
be injured by severe freezing or
smothered by heavy snow falling on
the land remaining for some time.
A complete fertilizer composed Of
nitrate of soda, acid phosphate and
muriate of potash will be useful on
land intended for alfalfa. Mix 800
pounds of high grade acid phosphate
and 100 pounds of muriate of potash
together and apply broadcast or with
drill at the time of seeding the al
falfa. We prefer to seed alfalfa
broadcast or distribute with one of
the seeders now on the market and
cover with a weeder. 1t should not
be covered deeply. AS soon as the
alfalfa comes up apply the nitrate of
soda at the rate of 100 pounds per
acre. Put the nitrate on when the
leaves are dry SO as not to injure
them. The lime should be applied
two or three weeks before the seed
is sown. Liberal fertilization for al
falfa is absolutely necessary even on
the richest of our land. Vegetable
matter is an essential for this plant.
Weeds are one of the worst pests
with which it has to contend, especial
ly when young, as it takes some time
for alfalfa to establish itself You
are acting wisely in summer fallow-
ing your land so as to free it of weeds.
When the alfalfa is we'll up good
top dressing of well rotted farmyard
manure at the rate of ten to twenty
loads per acre will be very helpful.

Washington, D. C.-Members OF
Congress who insist that the salary
of $500 a year, which they receive
now, does not go as far as their old
salary of $4,000 did a few years ago,
are much agitated over the rapidly
Increasing prices of the necessities OF
life. This subject promises to be
talked about great deal in the House
and Senate this year. 1t is regarded
as practically certain that a joint
commission will be appointed to in
vestigate.
A resolution by Mr.. Hull, Demo
crat, of Tennessee, provides for a
committee of seven Representatives
and five Senators to investigate 1t the
high prices are due to:
4. Trusts and combinations.
2. The increased volume of money.
8. Increase in city population.
A. Increase in demand and de-
crease in supply.
5. Increase of the Governments
bonded debt, or
6. The tariff.
This resolution declares that the
prices of the necessities of life have
Increased from eleven to thirty per
cent. in the last twelve months. 1t is
asserted that the high prices of beef
have enabled the Armour Packing
Company to make net profit OF more
than thirty-five per cent. on it's capt.
taIization. Mr.. Hull charges that the
price of sugar is two cents pound
higher in the United States than in
foreign countries and that this com
modify is controlled by the Sugar
Trust.
The most interesting development
in the high price problem at the Capt.
toll was carefully prepared speech
by Mr.. Douglas, of Ohio, who succeed
ed that eminent statistician and prog
nosticator, Charles Henry Grosvenor
Ever since Mr.. Douglas was attending
a performance in the Metropolitan
Opera House, New York, and pair
of opera glasses fell from the third
balcony and bounced off his head he
has been deeply interested in weighty
problems. He has given great deal
Of thought to this subject, and turned
loose the result In a 700O-word
speech.
Mr.. Douglas has theory that he
thinks would settle this high price
proposition. He believes that IL coun-
try life could be made sufficiently at

way: A dry goods box three feet long,
twenty inches wide by eighteen inches
deep, was obtained. The bottom
boards were removed and new bot
tom nailed on, which was one-fourth
inch thick.
Another box, just enough larger to
allow the first to slip inside easily,
was next found. This was placed in
the sunniest spot in the henhouse and
filled to within four inches of the top
with fresh horse manure. On top of
this, says the Farm and Home, the
smaller box was set and filled to with
in six inches of the top with sifted
hard coal ashes and some powdered
tobacco stems. In short time the
ashes felt warm and the hens soon
found this out. They have kept re-
markably free from lice, due, I be-
lieve, to the tobacco. Fresh horse
manure is put in two or three times
during the winter.
