Nugent Deposed
 As Chairman Of
 Jersey Democrats

Asbury Park, N. J., Aug. H. James R. Nugent was deposed as Chairman of the State Democratic Committee here yesterday afternoon amid riotous scenes. Fourteen mem- bers of the committee voted unani- mousiy to declare the chair vacant after MT. Nugent and Charles H, Gallagher of Mercer his lieutenant, had left the meeting and Nugent's g strong-arm" men had twice forced James E. Craft of Camden, who had proxy for William H. Davis of the same county. from the meeting in or der to prevent a quorum vote.
 MT. Craft was just showed from the meeting room the first time. The second time he was pummeled and thrown out of the room and to the Coleman House piazza. where he was handled roughly until he escaped Twenty of the Nugent men crowded on the piazza, awaiting the word of their chief to rush into the meeting room and break up the session. They became so boisterous and threatening that appeal was made to- Chief of Police William H. Smith for a squad of patrolmen. When the police ar rived. however, MT. Craft had disap- peared, but Senator Low of Ocean County had arrived to make a quor- um and the Chairman had been de- posedi
 
 named because of the fear of fur ther disturbance. Vice Chairman Wills abruptly announced that he would entertain motion for adjourn ment and the motion was quickly made The committee will meet two weeks from yesterday at the Hotel Sterling in Trenton to elect Chair man. Edward E. Grosscup of Glou- cester County probably will succeed MT. Nugent.
 The meeting yesterday was called over MT. Nugent's head. Two de- mands had been made of the Chair man by members of the committee to call meeting and to explain his conduct at Avon recently, when in q public dining room he proposed a toast to Gov. Wilson, Liar and In- grate," and invited a number of Ma tional Guard officers who were in the room to drink with him. Nugent re- fused to call the meeting or to make any explanation of his conduct other than to say it was a personal affair.

NO TRACE OF SCHWARTZ. Boats on New Haven HarbOr Seek
 Missing Man in Vain.

New Haven, Aug. 11.-Several boats were out on the harbor most all day yesterday with friends search ing for the body of Harry Schwartz Tuesday night. No trace was found of the body, however. If Schwartz was drowned there is a strong possi- bility of the body being recovered to- day as it is quite common for a drowned body to come to the sur face three days after the drowning
 The search will be continued to- day. The young mans mother and brothers and sisters are prostrated by the sad accident.

FARMERS SHOULD
CULTIVATE SHALLOW

The time tor corn cultivation Is
here and we should learn early the
fallaoy of blowing corn too deep.
Deep blowing is very necessary in
the fall and winter, but deep culti-
VatiOn should not be practiced at
tins time of the year.
Deep cultivation of corn has two
bad results; Many plant roots are
injured perhaps, killed and much
moisture is lost. Thirty days after
planting corn the roots will have
met if the rows are only three or
three and one half feet apart. These
roots lay within two TO six inches of
the surface. Deep cultivation will
cnt OF break many of these roots.
Some Of them will wither and dry
up, while all of them will be in ur-
ed 10 more or less extent. The
plant itself Is injured in proportion
to The injury received by the roots
which are the feeders of the plant.
Deep cultivation causes the loss
of much moisture. At this time of

10" cultivation Is injurious. If any
one will study the root system of
oorh' he will see that by the time it
a" eighteen inches high the roots fill
Tue entire space between the rows
al the points where they can secure
moisture, not above that point and
not to any great extent under it.
1t IN the preparation of the seed
bed, close capillary connection has
been made with the subsoil or rather
VNe suhsoil and the soil on top, then
would say that deep cultivation
one way before the corn is up would
be very desirable.
If the plow goes down deep, even
IL the corn row Is covered mp, cross
narrowing will prevent it from
Interfering with the upward move
nent of the corn; and after that
cultivation should be made with the
one idea, not Of killing weeds, but
conserving moisture by the develop
ment of mulch of loose dirt or
even dust. 1t is absolutely neces-
saryto maintain that mulch.
After each rain a crust forms
which promotes evaporation of the
water which the corn needs and this
crust must be broken as quickly as
possible by shallow cultivation.
This should be done with a small
harrow or weeder. The important
thing to do is to keep up the culti-
vatiOn from the time the corn Is
planted, till it is laid by; and if a
heavy rain comes and runs the soil
together, then lay it by once more.
1t is the crust that is formed by a
heavy rain upon newly cultivated
ground that wastes the moisture and
decreases the yield of corn.

OdkI and Farm Notes

What leaven for better farming
will be the thousands of boys and
young men who have Just com.
pleted the short course OF the vari.
Gus agricultural colleges.
But the greatest gain from any Of
these methods of education is il
teaching the individual to observe
more closely, to think and study fol
himself.
There was a time years ago when
the agricultural college educated the
1boys away from the farm. But now
1t is not to be regretted that the
college educates the boys away from
some of the old notions and prac-
tices.

sand acres, but both were very hard
pressed financially at times. The
land itself will respond almost with
out limit to intelligent care bestow
ed upon it. The question now is,
how much acreage can man give
intensive care?
Acreage at so and cultivation at
100, Is a better proposition than
acreage at 100 and cultivation at 50.

should try to hold as much mois-
ture in the ground as possible, since
it will be needed later on. We
should practice shallow, intensive
cultivation. Cultivation should be
intensive in order that all grass and
weeds may be destroyed when they
are young, thus obviating the ne
cessity for deep cultivation. | t

dust mulch may be maintained. A
dust mulch will prevent the loss Of
an excessive amount of moisture. A
crust on the surface of the ground
causes the moisture to be drawn
from the subsoil to the surface where
it is quickly lost by Evaporation.
A light rain moistens only the first
two or three inches of top soil and
creates a crust. When this crust
has formed the water below will
move rapidly to the surface and
will be lost by evaporation. If this
crust is not broken, the land will
dry out very quickly and after few
days the soil will contain less mois.

THE FUTURE OF kEoKUk.

The future of Keokuk is in its own
hands and depends very largely upon
the spirit in which the city meets the
opportunities growing out of the de-
velopment of the water power and the
extent to which it improves them. If
its attitude is to be one of indiffer-
ence, if it proposes to sit idly by with
folded hands and in the language of
the street "let George do it. the fact
might as we'll be recognized first as
last that KeolSuk will never be any
thing more than pumping station
communities which will gladly
avail themselves of the power
generated here. Unless this is
to be the outcome of fifty
years dreaming and hoping for the
development of the water power Keo-
kuk must wake up. take on new life
and energy and resolve by all it holds
sacred that it will leave nothing I'M
done to profit by the great enterprise
to the fullest possible extent.
keoluk has now come to the forks
of the road and must make instant
choice whether it will continue it's
past monotonous journey along an in
conspicuous by-way and finally arrive
nowhere, or whether it will enter
upon the broad highway of progress
opened to it by the water power and
so forward swiftly and surely to
largely increased industrial activity,
added population and unprecedented
prosperity. In all history no com
munlty ever had such an opportunity
before it as now presents itself to
keokuk. Nor would any other COM
munity in the world hesitate mo-
ment in making final choice. Neither
must Keokuk for single instant. In
the Grand opera house on Thursday
evening at a public mass meeting
called by Mayor Elder the matter will
come up for decision and it behooves
every citizen to be there and help
emphasize the demand that Keokuk
rise to the full measure of its unex-
ampled opportunity. The fate of the
city is to be determined and it is the
duty of every good citizen to make
sure that it is determined Alright.

BETTER PAY FOR FARM WORK


James j. Hill declares that popula-
ton is now moving toward the cities
with such accelerated speed as to
constitute real danger. He also de-
clares that it cannot be checked by
tampering with the rural school sys-
tenn, often superior in practical edu-
cation to that of the city, or by spend
ing money widely in publicity or i'm
migration work that attracts people
to the congested centers only. He
would thus solve the problem:
Farm work must be put on the
same basis, must have an equal in
dustrlal chance, with the other in
terests which have been for so MANY
years the recipients of special leeis-
lative care and favor Men will go
where they think they have the best
chance for success. 1t must be shown
That the farm is such a place. The
Improvement of methods is doing
much, but widespread and long-con-
tlnued campaign of education must
be carried on before the cultivation
OF the soil will again attract that
proper share of the nations workers
without which neither our Industrial
prosperity nor our political institu-
IONS can be permanently maintained.

1t appears from recent develop
ments that the emigration from this
country TO Canada. which had such a
vogue few years ago. has received
check. Canadian officials have been
investigating the movement of set
tiers along the southern border, and
they announce that in the season just
closed about 100000 immigrants ar
rived in Canada from the United
/ States, going mainly to Alberta and
the Puget Sound territory. They
found at the same time that about
10000 Canadians left the Dominion
for United States points. Advantages
of climate, SOIL associations and
means of development appeal to the
men who are coming to help swell
Uncle Sans census rolls.
