CASES ARE DISSlMiLAR.

The Herald has no straws to throw
in the path of Hon. Warren Garst In
his candidacy for the nomination fol
Governor. This is a free country and
any man has right to go before the
primaries. But Mr.. Garst seems to
need to be warned against the &C
lions of some of his fool friends, one
of whom seems to be writer on the
Des Moines Register and Leader. In
boosting his candidacy against Cover
nor Carroll = for apparently little
other reason than to make the breach
in the republican party as wide as
possible-the Register and Leader
said:
Zone question is eliminated by
Governor Garst's candidacy that
would arise with any other aspir-
ant at this time. 1t cannot be
argued that one is not as much
entitled to a second term as the
other. Governor Garst came to
the governorship as Mr.. Roose-
welt to the presidency. If Mr..
Roosevelt had not been renomin-
ated 1t would have been taken as
a personal defeat Governor Car
roll became a candidate against
Governor Garst for a second
term. Governor Garst now be-
comes a candidate against Gov
ernor Carroll for a second term"
The cases are entirely dissinilar.
Roosevelt became President by the
death of William Mckinley. when the
latter had served only few months
of his four-year term. Garst was ap,
pointed Governor near the expiration
of Gov. Cummins' term, after the lat
ter had been elected to the U. S. Sen
ate. Even the standpatters have not
been mean enough to call Senator
Cummins a dead one" as in implied
in the Register and Leaders tacitly
worded article. There is also this
difference: Roosevelt was elected
and Garst was not.

Farmers at the County Farm.

There were about 200 farmers from
Rock and surrounding counties present
Friday at the farmers demonstration
and picnic at the county asylum lawn,
given by the agronomy department OF
the state agricultural and experiment
station at Madison.
Prof. c. P. Norgood Of the college
talked on ''Smuts and Rusts of Grain. -
He showed the practical method of
graduating smuts and then talked on
the culture of small grain and the seed
selection. 1t was shown by him that
there are strains of grains varying in
yielding powers just as strains of .milch
cows vary in yielding powers. The
pedigreed grains bred by the stations
are different strains selected for their
yielding power, he said.
The county farm is being supplied
with these strains, and Supt. Barlass is
ready to furnish them to farmers at
reasonable prices.
Emphasis was placed upon 60-day
oats and the early ripening of a variety
of oats adapted to heavy soil because
of their resistance to lodging. Swedish
select oats were advocated for lighter
soils.
After dinner the farmers were taken
to an alfalfa field which showed an ex-
cellent stand. Here talk on alfalfa
was given, in which it was pointed out
that to obtain stand of alfalfa the
soil should be we'll drained, very rich,
and should be inoculated with bacteria
laden soil. 1t was explained that the
alfalfa had better be sown without a
nurse crop June at the rate of %
pounds of seed per acre. The land
should be plowed in the fall and ma
nured, it was stated. Great emphasis
was placed upon putting the land
through a weed killing process by har-
rowing it every week from early in the
spring until sowing time the first of
June.
The farmers were next shown field
of corn grown from samples of seed OBJ
tanned from thirty-five farmers of this
community. 1t was pointed out that
the average stand was not more than
Is per cent, thus indicating better
care of seed corn, as loss of 25 per
cent of stand means an annual loss of
10 bushels per acre.
The meeting was closed with an
hours talk on corn culture, given on
the asylum lawn. At noon the visitors
inspected the institution. Lunch was
eaten on the lawn, and coffee was fur
nished free by Supt. Barlass.
1t was the first demonstration and
picnic held in the county. The salts
faction shown by the farmers at what
they saw and heard indicates that it
will be made an annual affair. CO.
operation with the experiment station
will be continued next year and indi-
vidual farmers will be visited and
helped.

Lightning struck the small cupola on
O K Roe's residence Thursday morning
and started blaze in the small attic
room Immediately below the cupola.
Mrs Roe and the servant went through
all the rooms without discovering the
fire, but fortunately the flames were
noticed by neighbors and the fire de-
partment was called out The blaze
was extinguished before it had secured
much Roadway or reached any other
part of the house. Fred Falk' s cottage
at the lake was struck and bad scare
was experienced by the young people
who are enjoying an outing in the cot
tage, chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs Henry
Swan. The lightning struck in one
gable and set fire to the boards on the
outside, but the heavy rain extinguish-
ed the blaze.
City Clerk L Currier completed the
computation of assessment figures and
found the city valuation had been adj
vanced in total over last year $3.50. 1876.
Of this amount there was 1922, 696 in
crease on personal property and S27. 500
on real estate. The total assessment
of the city this year is So, 562. Ol6. as
against 50, 301, 800 last year. In case
the city tax levy would be the same as
the year previous and the school, county
and state taxes the same, the rate this
year would, according to Mr. Curriers'
estimate, be about $3.50. Last wear
the rate was $3.50.

A heavy rain and electrical storm
broke over the city about o'clock on
Thursday morning. The lightning was
vivid and the thunder crashes terrific.
The rain fell in torrents and the ground
was thoroughly soaked. At 6:15 an
alarm of fire was turned in to which
the department was quick to respond.
1t was soon discovered that the old ice
house belonging to the David Stevens
estate on Maple avenue had been struck
by lightning and smoke was issuing
from the roof few moments later.
The bolt struck the west end of the
barn which was partly filled with an
eighteen inch layer of sawdust and the
fire getting good start in this dry
material was obstinate and hard to
extinguish.
