people cannot seem to learn that a
newspaper pays its expenses by rent

entitled to collect rent for every day

the house you rent to a tenant.

many of these enterprises expect the

Submit 1t To Vote

Owing to the recent death Of Post
master Price, a new appointment
must be made for the Rapid City
office. The most active candidates
are j. w. Post, at present deputy
postmaster, and EX-mayor Emrick.
George b. Mansfield is also mentioned
favorably by his friends and would
have good support should he try for it.
The recent Republican state con
vention adopted without opposition a
plank favoring selection of postmas-
tiers by the resident party patrons of
the Office. The only way this declara-
ton a be made effective is by &C
q%uiescence Of the party officials and
machinery. No legislation can be en-
acted compelling. them to do it.
1t is wholly a voluntary matter for
those who have the power of patron
age to give to the patrons the right
to name their choice. The president
has full power to appoint and NO
state legislation can in the least effect
this. 1t has become customary for
him to accept the recommendation
of the congressman. 1t is now up to
the congressman from South Dakota,
in accordance with the platform of
the party in this state, when there is
more than II candidate for a post
office to submit it to the party patrons
of the Office, and make recommends
ton in accordance Herewith. The
plank is now as operative as it can be
made and should be applied to the
Rapid City office.
1t is probable that the congressman
from this state have little objection
to delegating to the party voters the
power the president has delegated to
them. 1t will often relieve them from
much embarrassment in choosing be-
tween friends. They should be adj
vised that the republicans of Rapid
City, in fulfillment of the state plat
form of the party, would like to select
the new postmaster.

Good VS. Poor Farming

The results of poor farming are
never more evident than in dry year.
AS evidence of the truth of this state
ment we have cen several instances
during the past month. We have in
mind two quarter section farms lying
about a mile and q half a part. The
soil on both is of exactly the same
formation and a few years ago there
was no difference in the producing
capacity of these two farms. Two
weeks ago the crops appeared about
as follows: On the farm that has
not been properly farmed, barley looks
as though it would yield about 10
bushels per acre; oats, 20; durum
wheat, 20; and corn about 20 bushels.
The stand was very poor, the straw
short, and the head of the small grains
not we'll filled. On the other farm,
barley looked as though it would pro-
duce 40 bushels per acre; oats, so;
durum wheat, 40; and corn, IS or pos
sibly so bushels. There was a good
stand of everything except weeds, the
straw of the small grains was tall and
the heads we'll filled.
The contrast between these two
farms was striking. The difference
in yield was not due entirely to more
thorough cultivation this year. Meth.
DDS of farming during the past seven
or eight years probably had az much,
if not more, to do with the discrep-
ancy. The good farmer has been
practicing rotation of crop as follows:
Corn n year, small grains two years
and clover and timothy two years.
His corn is practically always planted
on fall ploWed sod. Half of his small
grain is seeded on corn ground with
out blowing, and the other half on
stubble ploWed in the fall. With this
system it is easy to keep down the
weeds, and consequently it is also
easy to prepare ideal seed bed condi-
tions for everything he sows. This
man plows deeply. He uses the disc
as we'll a. the harrow freely. Some
Of his neighbors criticize him for put
ting SO much work on his land.
Where they harrow their ground
once he harrows his three times:
where they pillow their ground four
inches deep, he plows six and seven.
Last spring, when this progressive
farmer was anticipating a dry season,
he took particular pains to work up a
fine seed bed for corn by beginning to
disc early-.in the season and using the
harrow frequently up until time to
plant, and then he narrowed again
after planting as long as he could
without injuring the young plants.
AS soon as possible the c~ultivator
was started and it was kept going
regularly once a week whether there
were weeds in the field or not, his
: idea being that if he could keep a
