SUPERVISOR DAVIS EXCELS
AS POTATO GROWER

As a potato growing county Forrest
no doubt stands right about the top
with her sister counties, if she does
net outstrip them This years crop
is bumper one and means much to
those who were far-sighted enough to
plant large acreages in this never
failing crop. Mr. John Davis, mem
Der of the Board of Supervisors of
Forrest county, brought to The News
office this morning some of the finest
specimens Of yellow yams exhibited
this year. The vine on which the pO-
tatoes were grown measured SO feet
in length. On one stem or cluster
were nine large size potatoes, and
this was fair sample of Mr. Davis
crop this year.

Administration st.noaraphers.

Here is story of two Taft admin
istratiOn stenographers which shows
how hard it is to work for the gov
eminent these days and remain hon
est.
F. NJ. Kerby, stenographer to the
late Secretary Of Interior Ballinger,
exploded, the whole Ballinger defense
by bringing to light the "Lawler
memorandum Kerby wrote this
memorandum and knew, therefore,
that President Taft's letter exoner-
ating Ballinger was ante dated and
a frameup to clear the secretary. And
because he revealed information
which came to him in his confiden-
tial capacity as stenOgrapher, Balli1g.
er called him unworthy and dis.
charged him.
Now contrast this with the case OF
Miss Carrie NJ. Davis, stenographel
to DR.. L. F. Keller of the bureau Of
chemistry. In his campaign to GUS
DR.. Wiley, Solicitor McCabe locked
Miss Davis in a room, and "sweated
her for three hours because she re
fused to divulge confidential informa
ton which McCabe thought he coult
use against Wiley.
Kerby broke confidence, becaus'
he placed loyalty to the people abov,
loyalty to Ballinger, and was dischar
ed. Miss Davis refused TO break
confidence, and for that she was cru
ely chastised by a subordinate in al
administration, the high officials o
which frequently prate about this.

Issued From International Dry-Farm
ing Headquarters.

Idaho Falls, Idaho, Aug. 21.-That
dryfarming methods, when properly
followed are successful has Just been
demonstrated by Professors Briggs,
Keamey and Shantz, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, who in behalf of
the department, have completed an in
veStigation of the dry farms in this
valley. Professor Briggs before leav-
ing this city, stated that in all of the
travels of the committee it has not
seen either irrigated or nonirrigated
farming which produced better re-
suits than were to be found on the
dry farms here in the face OF the fact
that the year has been one Of severe
drought.
The Woodsmanse and Webster farm
Of 5000 acres is producing 2400 acres
Of Turkey red wheat, that will aver
age not less than 40 bushels wher
threshed. This result is obtained
under dry-farming tillage methods
and the use Of 80 pounds of seed t
the acre.

has been invited to address The Sixt

, exacting farm operators in the West

the cost of ploughing, harvesting an
handling his crop.
In this vicinity the Government
men found $4,000 acres of dry Ian

SOLID sUs-sURFAcE AND WHY

We have constantly urged a solid
sub-Surface for winter wheat, but
probably have not given our reasons
for it as fully as might be. Many
farmers imagine that If they have the
surface smooth and loose for a depth
Of two or three inches, they have fill
ed all the requirements. In this they
are mistaken. A field of winter wheat
with a cloddy sub-suIface is likely to
prove disappointing in yield, the rea-
son being that if the weather should
be dry, the clods permit the admis.
sion of too much air, which dries out
the soil and interferes with the rising
of the water from below, and if the
winter, should set in with rain, the
ground will hold too much water
which will freeze. Then when this
thaws out in the spring the wheat
will be lifted out; will "leave' OIL
hove as farmers say.
On the other hand if the Subsoil
that is, all the plowed fuTTow except
the upper two or three inches (tht
depth varies with the latitude), Is
compact and solid, it shuts out any
excess Of air and forms close phys
cal contact with the soil below. In
other words, It acts just like a lnmI
of sugar, one corner of which is dip
ped in your coffee, or just as tht
lampwick acts in bringing up oil fror
the bowl of the lamp.
Bear in mind that even in the dry
est time, you will find water in mos
soils If you go down deep enough

good farming soil. Now if course me
nure or clods are in the bottom Of tn
fuTow, it will interfere with this ris
ing and do the damage we have pre-
ViousE described.
1t is better not to pillow your groun
for winter wheat at all than to follow
the method usually followed by farm
ers, leaving it stand without diskinl

VITAL WASHINGTON NEWS.
By Clyde H. Tavenner,

Special Washington Correspondent
of This Newspaper.
Washington, August 21.-The Taft
administration will not dare to carry
out the plot to drive DR.. Harvey
Wiley from the government service.
This was the thought that suggest
ed itself time and again to the minds
of the men and women who crowded
the Moss investigating committee
rooms and heard Dr.. Wiley lay bare
the story of the systematic fight
which has been waged against him
because he insisted the food manu-
factwers keep their food pure.
AT times as Dr. Wiley told of the
fierce persecution he had endured.
his voice almost broke, and he could
proceed only with difficulty. At times
also the committee members, utterly
dumbfounded by the Doctors state
ments, were at loss as to what ques
tons TO ask him next.
Not only was it shown that DR.
Wiley's efforts to serve the public
and protect it from injurious and poi
sonous substances in food prepare
tons had been absolutely blocked by
the cOnspirators in the administration
headed by Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson and his controlling influence
Solicitor McCabe, but. that the lates
effort to force DR.. Wiley out of of
flee was based upon letter which
he never received and knew nothing
about.
Not boasfully or eagerly, but in re
Spouse to questions by members o
the committee, Dr. Wiley recited tn,
: universities at which he had studied
the great scientific societies at HON
and abroad which have honored hin
in various ways, and the recital wen
a long way in revealing to the CON
mittee the great public spirit an
sympathy of this man who possesse
courage in public duty which neitf
er threats from official sources no
opposition by the powers of evil ha
been able to break down.
| While the whole hearing was a SUI
cession of revelations that left tn
committee and spectators thunder
struck, the most astonishing test
mony came when DR.. Wiley told q
his efforts to prevent the use of aluI

A Four Ply MonopoIY.

One of the first facts developed
by the Stanley steel investigating
committee was that the directors Of
the steel trust actually dominated
the boards of directors of nearly al
the important railroads of the coun
try. Then it came to light that the
same ruling spirits of the steel trust
cO-Operated with and practically domi
mated Standard Oil. And now it de
velOps that four of the six directors
of the harvester trust are also direc
tors of the steel trust. In other words
the steel trust, the railroads, the har
vester trust, and Standard Oil, (al
star contributors to Republican cam
paigu funds) are dominated by the
same handful of men. And thest
men in turn, take orders from one
man, Mr.. ]. P. Morgan.

TAFT AND THE RECALL.

MIR. Taft bases his objections to the
recall on the argument that the mi
nority has rights which should be
protected against possible aggression
by the majority. He appeals in be-
half of bad cause to a good prin-
ciple. But the only minority he has
In mind is the one that consists
Of predatory interests. The rights

propriate the earnings of others. He
knows what popular feeling is regard.
tng judicial decisions which have aim
ed to safeguard such rights
Cases may be mentioned where the
majority has unquestionably violated
just rights of a minority. The tariff
law Is conspicuous example. In en-
acting that law the majority has de-
creed that purchasers of imported
goods shall be robbed of large part
Of what justly belongs to them. Here
Is a case where if there is any truth
IN Mr.. Taft'S claim that the judiciary
protects just minority rights, 1t should
have acted long ago. But the rights
Of minority when vested interests
wish to override them, receive no
more consideration from our "inde,
pendent judiciary than do the wishes
of the majority. Predatory rights
are the only minority rights that
ninetynine judges out of a hundred
have seen fit to protect. other mi
uOrity rights can suffer no more from
unrestricted majority rule than they
suffer now with either the expressed
or tacit sanction of the court. The
Just rights Of the minority will lose
nothing by the change. The just
rights Of the majority will surely
gain much.
