TAFT CENSURES INSURGENTS
Executive, in Speech at Hamilton,
Mass, Opens His Campaign.
CONDEMNS SOME TARIFF IDEAS
Singles Out Senator La Toilette with
Speaker Clark and Chairman
Underwood, Accusing Them
of Playing Politics.

HAMILTON, Mass, Aug. 8-President
| Taft began the presidential campaign o.
1912 today, his friends believe, in a speech
that brought defiance and condemned the
"insurgent" republicans and the demo-
Gratis, combined to revise several schedules
of the present tariff at the special session
of congress, just closed.
The president singled out Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin, Speaker Champ
Clark and Chairman Underwood of the
house ways and means committee as
leaders OF the attempted revision and
charged them with playing politics" ="
Several times he referred by name to Mr..
La Toilette, but mentioned the other in
surgent senators merely as La Toilette 5
Associates"
Mr.. Taft indicated that he regarded the
proposed revision as injurious and danger
Gus to business, but made it plain that II
the Tariff board in December reported that
downward revision of the cotton and wool
schedules should be made he would recon-
mend a reduction.
Standing on the broad terrace of Con-
gressman A. p. Gardners farm with Sem
ator Lodge and other Massachusetts repub-
lcan leaders, the president seemed to scent
the smoke of the coming battle Many OF
the 500 members of the Essex County Re-
publican club, gathered to listen, thought
they heard the keynote" speech of the
coming campaign, and their cheers were
loud and long.
Senator Lodge supplemented the presi-
dents tariff remarks by a few words,
while two of the three candidates for the
republican nomination for governor in
Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor Froth-
ingham and Speaker Walker, spoke also,

ments, the greater draft on the
soil will cause it to become more
deficient in fertility.
The productivity of the land
depends as much on the condition
of the soil as it does on the plant
food contained in the soil. In
order to keep the soil in good
condition it is necessary to apply
vegetable matter in the form of
green manure or barnyard ma
nure, or by the rotation of crops,
including legumes, such as cow
peas, clover and alfalfa.
Land should occasionally be
returned to grass so it may
again regain the texture and
filth of virgin soil.

Are Commercial
Fertilizers Harmful,

The continued application OF
commercial fertilizers may have
the effect of depicting the fer
tility of the soil in this way.
The addition of certain elements
of plant food which may be lack
ing in the soil should cause the
production of larger crops which
necessarily take a larger pro-
portion of the plant food ele-
ments from the soil than would
be taken by a smaller crop. In
this way the total fertility of the
soil would become decreased,
provided no means were taken to
maintain this fertility. How
ever, if crop rotation and green
manuring along with the grow
ing of legume crops and the ap-
plication of barnyard manure
are practiced, the addition of a
certain plant food element which
may be deficient in the soil, in
the form of a commercial fer
tilizer, may not only result in
larger crop yields, but the soil
be greatly improved in fertility
and productiveness.
1t depends, also, on what COM
mercial fertilizer is used as to
whether its continued use may
have an injurious effect on the
soil For instance, lime is often
used as a fertilizer. Lime is not
a fertilizer in itself, but acts as
a liberator of plant food on the
soil. In other words, it makes
the plant food Of the soil avail
able, and this results in larger
yields of crops for a time, but the
lining of the soil may
waste the plant food elements and
finally leave the soil deficient in
fertility. The application of any
of the actual plant food elements,
such as nitrogen, phosphorus or
potassium, may tend to make
plant food already In the soil
available, but it also doubtless
adds to the available supply of
that particular plant food which,
balanced with other plant foods
Of the soil, may, under favorable
conditions. cause a ranker growth |
md larger yield Of crop. Event

placs tie ether plant food elar

The Importance Of
Good Wheat Seed

A Webster County, Iowa, cor
respondent sends US two samples
of wheat seed, and writes:
II am going to SOW thirty
acres to winter wheat for the first
time. The two samples of wheat
which l send you are both home
grown. One seems to be a soft
wheat, while the other is hard.
The hard wheat went considera-
bly, more to the acre, but the land
was in potatoes last year, and !
think this helped it. The soft
variety will cost me 81 per bushe,
while the hard is S1.25. Tell
me which to use."
Knowing this much and no
more, we would hesitate to adj
wise any man definitely. If there
is any reason to suppose, though
that the one variety of wheat
would yield even so little as a
bushel more per acre than the
other, we would use this, even
though the seed costs so cents
per bushel more. 1t takes but
little figuring to prove the wis
dom of buying good seed, even
though it costs considerably more
per bushel. On ordinary soil a
bushel and a peck to a bushel
and half is a good rate to seed.
Using the latter figure, we find
that it would cost our correspond
emit 81 1-2 cents more per acre
to use the hard wheat than soft
wheat. We had reason to suspect
that the hard wheat will
yield more per acre. If it yields a
bushel more per acre than the
other, and wheat is selling at IS
cents a bushel, the result will be
a profit from using the more ex-
pensive seed of 81 1-2 cents per
acre. Hard wheat is worth more
for milling purposes than soft
wheat, but our correspondent
must determine by inquiry at his
local market as to whether there
is a difference in the price OF
hard and soft wheat sufficient to
cause him to take this point into
consideration. .-Wallace's Farmer

A. H. T. A. Day.
Friday, Sept 1, Was Anti Day.
and a Big Day 1t Was.

Friday, Sept. 1, was All. TIA.
day in Baxter Springs, and they
had big day of it, too. Early
in the day the people began to
pour into town from all direc-
tions, and by the time the exer-
cises were pulled off the crowd
was a huge ore. There was
broncho busting, fancy riding, a
chase after a horse thief, and
after this a parade to the reun-
ion grounds. The parade was a
beautiful one. 1t was most a
mile long, and hundreds of Ants
on horseback were in line. The
parade was headed by the band,
and wended its way through the
reunion grounds, disbanding in
the bottom, where the Lincoln
vile local gave a drill on horse
back, ending by forming the let
tiers, "A. H. T. A."
The local having the largest
number in line was Willow creek.
The local having the largest
percentage of its membership in
line was Southeast No. IA.
The prize to the local coming
longest distance, and having not
less than twelve members in line,
was awarded to Stowell local.
Ottawa local could have had this
prize but did not get in line.
The local having made the best
appearance in line was Lincoln
vile No 376.
The local having the best ban
ner was Lincolnville.
John Carver of Southeast, No.
IA, was given a prize for being
the oldest Anti in line, but a
short time af,erward another
man, BENZ. Mcpherson, from
Stowell local, appeared and prov
ed to go Carver one better, so he,
also, was given a nice bride. He
was IS years old.
The prize for the best rider
was awarded to Otis Wade, and
the second prize to Elmer Powell.
The prize for the best bucking
broncho was awarded to C. L.
Troyer. Second prize to VIM.
Brown.
This was the first attempt of
the Ants to have big time in
Baxter Springs, and the attempt
was huge success. Every local
in this part of the country did its
level best to make a big day Of
it, and succeeded beyond the
fondest expectations, and as a re-
suit there will be other Anti days

With the spelter market fluc-
tuating from the high quotation
of So, which held steady in St.
Louis for the two weeks previous,
to SIS. go, S5.s5 and $3.50 during
the last week, the price of blend
held firm on a S45 basis that has
been the top figure for the last
three weeks. Indications pointed
to the biggest turn-in for several
months.
The week previous many of
the best producers in the district
held out their weeks output in
hopes of a $40 base. The last
sales reported last week, how
ever, hung on the S45 base, with
buyers eager for ore. The fluc-
tuation of the spelter market,
which more or less influences the
prices paid for blende, caused OPP
orators to turn loose of all the
ore possible in anticipation of a
lower market following the
slump in spelter,
Many producers figured in the
turn-in columns this week that
have for sometime been on the
absent list. All camps in the
district have been unusually ac-
tive and many new prospects
have been opened up in the last
two weeks. The Miami camp
has been especially active under
the stimulus of several rich
strikes in deep ore.
In the Galena camp the mines
have recovered to about normal
after the floods, which so SER
iously handicapped the output
from that camp. The Aurora
camp has been inundated with
water in the shallow workings
after heavy rains of last week.
Except for few hand-jig prop
critics, there has been no mining
done in the camp.
Mining men are still optimistic
over the outlook for a steady
market for blend, however. 1t
is believed that spelter will start
upward again this week and
that the prices of ore will again
hold to S45 or better. A slight
slump may follow this week, but
it is not expected to hold.
Lead turn-ins, which were low
last week owing to short reports
from the Webb City-Carterville
district, came back strong this
week with prices of s62 and SOB
holding over from the three
weeks past. The lead market,
it is believed will hold strong
with tendencies to 60 upward
gradually. Some predictions
have been made that lead will
reach a new record figure before
