Adolph ]. Schmitz of Milwaukee,
nominated by the democrats for COVER
nor of Wisconsin, subject to the pri-
mary election, is a native of Manitowoc
county, but has practiced law in Mil
waukee for many years. He has been
active in politics for a long time, but
because of his pronounced opposition
to the machine had little success in
winning the favor of his fellow parti-
sans. Two years ago he opposed the
convention nominee in the primaries
for the gubernatorial nomination, but
the organization showed him under. He
has been repeatedly charged with hav-
ing strong inclinations toward La Fol-.
lette policies. He was nominated after
about 400 of the 900 delegates to the
convention had left the hall.

CYCLES AND sHouLD BE

RIcULTURE DEPART
MENT OFFICIAL. s.

Washington, July 1S.-"The drouth
from which the west Is now suffering
only yerifies what many agriculturists
have expected for long time" said
Acting Secretary Hays OF the depart
ment of agriculture today. Many Of
us knowing that the west had suffered
cycles of drouth, believed that these
cycles would again hamper the farmers
there, but the period of many years
during which rainfall had been rcgu-
lar caused the people to forget the
real condition that faced them" con-
tinued Mr.. Hays, who was a farmer in
Minnesota before becoming assistant
secretary of agriculture, and who is
especially familiar with the wheat
country of the northwest.
Real estate boomers have sought to
minimize the danger from drouth in
the west and they have talked that
way for so many years during which
the rainfall . has been regular. that
many people came to believe that there
was no longer danger or that kind for
the ircrops. They are seeing Ii now.
The west is really much better
country than many agriculturists be-
sheved, but we must face the fact that
these cycles of drouth will recur and
farmers must finance their farms in
such a conservative way as to have
surplus money with which to face
these periods Of non productiveness.
In good years, In the new sections of
the west the farmers profit has been
large, in some cases so great as to
permit him to pay for his land in a
single year. In the long run they will
obtain satisfactory returns, but they
must face the situation as 1t is and
come to look upon the cycle of drouth
as one Of the recurring conditions

DROUTH IN west
BOOMS IRRIGATION
WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA FARM
ERs FLOOD RECLAMATION
SERVICE WITH REQUESTS
FOR WATER.

Washington, d. c.. July 1S.-Farmers
in western North Dakota began to
realize during the latter part of last
month the benefits which they could
receive from the irrigation projects
in their territory Owing to the high
temperature and scorching- winds
which swept over the western part of
the state the latter part Of June, un-
irrigated crops were practically burned
up so that many will not be worth
harvesting and the best yield that can
be expected on dry land will not be so
per cent of normal according to the
reclamation service.
But the dry weather caused the serv
ice to be besieged with. requests for
water, although few applications had
been made early in the season. In
spite of the heavy demand, the recla-
nation service, by more than doubling
the force of men and by working the
power and pumping machinery at full
capacity despite a limited amount of
coal, furnished good heads of water in
practically all cases where water was
asked for, so that irrigation crops are
reported now to be in excellent condi-
ton.
European Crop Conditions.
European crop conditions, as report
ed to the department of agriculture,
were made public today in. the monthly
crop report of the department. 1t says:
Cereal harvest, practically finished
ir North Africa, in June, has in it's
northward progress reached the south
ern attitudes of the extensive grain
areas Of Europe. On that continent
during this and the two succeeding
months harvesting operations will, in
the natural course Of events, gradually
extend over an expanse of upward of
120,000,000 acreas of wheat, 100, O0O, 600
acres of rye. 100000 acres of oats and
about 45,000,000 acres of barley-the
four crops occupying a total surface
the vast extent of which is reflected in
the fact that 1t is between three and
four times the combined acreage under
the same crops in the United States.
Excepting the effects of storms, ag-
riculture has In general made the prog.
ress expected at this season. In France
however, winter cereals continue in
backward state and the highest expec-
tations are for only a moderate crop OF
wheat. In Germany, rather sprolong-
ed dry spell, now broken, seems to
have had no particularly serious eff
fects. Drouth has also been repeatedly
reported from the Don and Volga re-
gions OF Russia. Most countries have
had an ample sufficiency of moisture
and under it's influence the spring.
sown crops have flourished almost ev-
erywhere.'

That salt cellars were in use in the
most remote times Is well known,
az salt dates back far into the night
of time. Homer qualities salt as be-
ing divine. Among the Greeks and
Romans it occupied the place of honor
at banquets, and among the wealthy
salt cellars were handed down from
father to son. During the latter part
of the middle ages the salt cellar was
the most conspicuous object on the
table. 1t was always placed in the
center of the long table at which the
household gathered, my lord and

social position was at once apparent,
