bed for it should be well prepared.
The corn should be put in not later
than the middle Of May and on a well
prepared seed bed. The aim should
be to SOW the oats Just after the
wheat is soWn. Only as much corn
and oats should be put in as will be
needed to furnish food for the horses
Tor the next year. About the only
money crop that the farmer should
try to grow the first year is flax, and
he should not try to grow even that,
unless he can get it in reasonably
early and on well prepared land.
Every effort should be made to
break up all the land possible for the
next years crop. The farmer should
not refuse to work long hours with
this object i'm view. He should take
all the work out of his team that they
will stand without abusing them, and
ne should be diligent in turning over
the land day in and day out until the
season arrives when the land cannot
be plowed without too much labor.
because of the dryness Of the land.
Flowing can usually be done from the
opening of spring until early July.
After that season the lack of mois-
ture in breaking makes blowing diff
cult.
The breaking should invariably be
followed at once with the disk and
harrow, or what would be still better.
with the roller, disk and harrow. The
harrow should be used after every
considerable rain and i'm tins way,
the moisture will be held. 1t is
greatly important that the largest
possible amount of land should be
prepared in this way. ON land thus
prepared, the crop OF the next season
is practically assured. This elimi-
mates the element of hazard that
comes from the indiscrminate crop
ping of the land that is freshly brok-
Ell in the spring.
On the land thus prepared he
should SOW il large acreage of winter
wheat. He should try to SOW it in
August if there is moisture enough in
the land to give it good start. If
winter wheat in Montana gets Il good
strong start early in the autumn the
crop is practically assured. The fol
lowing spring amy kind of Il spring
crop may be sown that is wanted on
the residue OF the land prepared the
previous season. II the crop is put
in early and properly cared for. the
farmer will get Il good return, let
the weather be dry or not dry. The
corn crop of this season may be
grown on freshly broken land. AS
soon as the crop is put in the farmer
should go on breaking other land to
the greatest extent that is practicable
for the next seasons crop. Managed
thus, there need not he any failures
in farming in areas that are dry.

When 1 went to Duquesne January 2S 1 tied my burro in front of the store and went in. There were present Vaughn, Chal- mers, Heady, Russell, Valenzuela and Ernest Harmon. Vaughn was distributing mail. Saw Chalmers and Heady on grocery side of store. Cannot say where Valenzuela was. Did not see Russell at front. He sat on table in middle. A show case concealed him and 1 did not see him until 1 went down dry goods side of store. The instant I heard his voice 1 went down to see if it was him. Half a minute after l discovered Russel, he came around where 1 stood. I was in front of the post office. Cannot remember whether 1 heard Vaughn announce mail was ready. I was watching Russell. He came close 10 me. I did not see his hands. I never thought of my physical su- periority. l was determined he should notget close to me. 1 thought he might kill me if he had an op- portunity. He might have a knife. Up to the time Vaughn went into she Duquesne store 1 had seen very little of him. 1 deposited money at the store with Vaughn as busi- ness manager of the store, and drew on it.

the race for the new Democratic con-

the people against machine control
through the state and the nomination
Of any man for Congress who will not
pledge himself as opposed to the State
machine makes one Of the issues IN the
present campaign plain and clear.
Young then called upon State Senator

or against the Hon. T. S. Martin for
reelection to the U. S. Senate. "
Senator Holland said, after reading

reply in his Norfolk speech. "Will you
say whether you are for or against Sen
ator Martini" he was asked. "NO," he
replied, because | am neither for nor
