high tariff and high prices. 1t don't
take any more to fatten a high priced
hog than it does low priced one and
it don't cost any more to handle high
priced tie than it does low priced
one, still Mr.. Russell wants low prices
and low tariff. Now farmers, if you
hear anyone talking low tariff just hand
him an empty dinner pail and a pair of
those old patched breeches, old shoes
with no soles, and the old hat with no
crown and tell them that you had to
wear them without any socks and with.
out any hope of getting any until the
times got better. Now I have not
seen such times since 1895, and 1
hope to God / will never see such
times again brought on by good hard
working men voting low tariff and low
prices.

the supreme court pass upon the legal
ity of their action they have abandon
ed their efforts to promulgate this
gerymander, and now don't know
what to do with it. It is of no effect
until proclaimed and they are afraid to
proclaim it because if they do Governor
will take them into the courts. Tie
time when twosDemocratic politicians
happen to be holding Office can div
ide this state into senatorial districts
giving the Democratic party, which is
the minority, twenty-four Senatorial
districts, and the Republican party,
which is the majoritv party, ten Sena-
torial districts, has gone by. What
hurts the Democratic newspapers and
politicians is that they know this is
true.
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1911-06-15

The Democratic news papers are
exercised over the Unconstitutional
action of Governor Hadley in refusing
to proclaim the gerrymander prepared
by Con Roach and Elliot Major. In
view of the fact that their division OF
the state into Senatorial districts failed
to comply with the provisions of the
Constitution requiring that the sena-
torial districts shall be as nearly E.
quail in population as may be and COM
pact contiguous, the Governor declined
to proclaim it as law. Roach and
Major then announced that they were
going to proclaim it themselves by
publishing it in the Session Acts.
The Governor advised them that if
they did so he would institute suits to
prevent it. AS the last thing that
these politicians wanted was to have

Alfalfa In Missouri.

The Missouri Experiment Station
has been conducting experiments with
alfalfa on the various soils of the state
for number of years and az a result
of these experiments, the following
brief summary of the essentials to sue
cess are given.
!. It takes good land to grow alfalfa
without considerable care. Well drain
ed creek and river bottoms as well as
all well drained deep rich uplands will
grow it readily where it Is properly
handled but for average to thin lands
considerable care is necessary to sue.
cess.
Q. On rich lands alfalfa may be
spring sown, but on average to thin
lands fall or late summer sowing is
much more certain Of a permanent
stand. From the middle of August to
the middle of September is best for
central and north Missouri but in the
south third of the state it is best to
SOW from the middle of September to
the middle of October.
8. The seed bed must be we'll pre-
pared. For spring sowing it should be
plowed deep and thoroughly worked
down. For fall sowing it should be
plowed early and well settled below
with fine seed bed prepared on the
surface.
4. Inoculation of uplands which have
never grown alfalfa before is beneficial
and usually necessary to success,
This is especially true in regions where
sweet clover does not grow. Inocula.
ton is best accomplished by scattering
On 200 to 800 lbs. per acre of soil from
an old alfalfa field and narrowing in
s. Lime is beneficial to many Mis-.
souri, soils and it is often necessary TO
success. It should be applied at the
rate of from 5000 to 1000 lbs. per acre
in any convenient form
6. On land of medium and poor fer.
tility cultivation with disk or spring
tooth harrow followed by drag harrow
is necessary for best results after the
second and third cuttings.
2. On lands of medium to poor fer
tility the application of 10 to IS tons
of manure before plowing is necessary
for best results. Top dressing with
each fall, to loads per acre
is very beneficial unless the manure
contains much grass seed. Foxtail,
crabgrass and blue grass are worst ene-
mics to alfalfa.
8. The application of 200 lbs. of
bone meal on all lands of medium to
poor fertility is very helpful in securing
. permanent stand.
g. On all lands af medium to poor
ertility a man must be willing to give
time and care to prepar-
.tion of the lands, seeding and cultiva-
ion if he is to achieve success.
10. The use of strong terminating
eed, free of dodder is essential to the
greatest success.

Ball Can't Be Side Tracked.

Democratic old Guard politicians
are already scheming to side track
Dave Ball and thus keep him out OF
the race for Governor. In 1908 they
were unable to stop him from running
and so they proceeded to defeat him
by stealing the election from him.
This year with Republican Governor
and Republican Police and election
Boards in the large cities, Col. Ball
knows that he will get q fair show in
the primary election and has conse-
quently announced his candidacy.
In an effort to force him to withdraw
in the interest OF party harmony
the Democratic politicians are talking
Attorney General Major for Governor.
Of course everybody familiar with the
situation knows that Major is not to be
considered for moment as a. candi-
date for governor, as he has well dem
onstrated that he Is to small for the
position he now nccupies. But the
Old Guard politicians hope to use him
to force Dave Ball of the track and
then nominate one Of their own crowd
they can depend upon as their candi-
date for Governor.

Our Distinguished Visitors.

On next Monday, June 10, party
of distinguished gentlemen. composed
of Gov. Hadley, Frank A. Wightman,
State Railroad and Warehouse Com
missioner; Jesse A. Tolerton State
Game and Fish Commissioner; L. A.
Geserich, Chairman of the State Fish
Commission, w. c. Pierce, banker oi
Maryville; Col. Martin L. Collins, OF
Gov. Hadley's staff, stationed at St.
Louis, and President Bush, of the
Missouri Pacifc-Iron Mountain railroad
system, and if possible for them to get
here, Mayor Kreismann of St. Louis,
and Mayor Brown, of Kansas City, will
visit our town, and we should all do
our best to make their visit pleasant
one.
Governor Hadley will deliver a
speech to the citizens of Taney County
at the court house in this place on
Monday evening at eight o'clock, and
every citizen of the county should be
present to hear him. It will not be a
political speech, but an address to the
people of the county.
Of cou.se it will be source of great
satisfact tion to the Republicans of the
county to come out and hear the first
Republican governor that the state has
had in forty years, but it should also be
source of pleasure to every man in
the county regardless of politics to turn
out and hear the governor of this great
state.
The principal object of the visit of
these gentlemen at this time is to have
a fishing trip on the beautiful White
river. and to get a glimpse of the
prettiest country in the state, as well as
to get acquainted with the people who
live here.
Be sure and turn out.

The Origin of Rocks.

The seologist divides rock into
three general classes-igneous rocks,
originating from the molten magma
forced upward from the bowels of the
earth, such as granite and the various
lavas; sedimentary rocks, consisting OF
disintegrated PARTICLES of the igneous
or sedimentary rocks whose compost
ton has greatly changed by intense
heat, chemical action, or other cause S
as for instance, a limestone that has
changed to marble.
Sedimentary Rocks, as stated in the
geologic atlas of the United States
Geological Survey, are usually made up
of layers or beds which can be easily
separated. These layers are called
strata or rocks deposited in uch layers
are termed strati6ed. The surface OF
the earth is not immovable; over wide
re gions it very slowly rises or sinks
with reference to the sea, and shore
lines are thereby changed. AS re-
suit of upward movement marine sed-
imentary rocks may become part OF the
land, and most of our land areas are in
fact occupied by rocks originally de-
posted as sediments in the sea.
Sandstone is perhaps the simplest
example of a sedimentary rock. Obvi-
ously sandstone was once sand, and a.
gain each grain of sand was once a
part of some older rock. This sand
was first eroded and deposited and
either subjected to great pressure by
overlying masses perhaps thousands OF
feet thick or cemented together by
chemical solutions. Where the stone
was formed by simple pressure it con-
tains large proportion of open spaces
and thus becomes an ideal water bear
er. Some sandstones will cary as
much as six quarts of water to the Gu
| bic foot of stone. In other varieties
Ithe interstices may have been flied
with cementing material so that the
rock may be for all practical purposes
almost as dense as granite.

The Lure of Summer.


Wilbur D. Nesbit.
Breeze came lazily along
And to the toiler sangsits song;
THE little brook still leaps and filings
It's foam upon the swallows wings;
The willows shade still deep and cool,
Spreads as of old across the pool.
And down the hill the meadow blooms
Still loose their wonderful perfumes,
And every nodding clover head
Is lush with honey, and as red
AS it was when you used to tease
The honey-stealing bumble-bees.
The willows shade, still deep and hushed,
The old well chain is brown with rust,
The orchard knows the drowsy tune,
Of insects in the aiternoon;
They have not changed-feld, bird and tree,
All are back where they used to be.
The old place still remains unchanged,
From none of its old ways estranged;
The lazy fence still loafs behind
The vines with which it is entwined,
And O. the little path still goes
Down through the thcket of wild rose!
And all of them send word to you
The shade, the brook, the orchard too
That you who felt that you must roam
Turn from it all and journey home.''
It may have been such words as these
Were whispered by the vagrant breeze;
Or did the toiler, all day long,
Sing to himself this Turing song?

Rally Day Of Washington Parish
Schools Success.

Franklinton, La, March a.
Saturday was rally day for the public
schools Of Washington Parish. The
capacity of the town was overtaxed
by the influx of people, yet every

creditably on those who had charge
of the affair. The auditorium of the

The program was an unprecedent-
