Do You Know How to PIow?

There are thousands of farmers all
over the land who would say in reply
to this question: "Of course we do, for
we have been blowing all our lives,
and ought to know how to do it. -
And yet how many of them have ever
given serious study to the art of plow-
ing Hundreds of them write asking
about deep blowing and wanting to
know if they should pillow so many in
ches or should subsoil further.
Now the mere matter of depth is not
all there is in good blowing. Soils
differ greatly in regard to the depth
they should be plowed. On the rolling
red clay hills of the Southern Pied
mont one can hardly pillow and subsoil
too deep, for the deeper these hills are
broken the less tendency there is to
wash, for there is deep body of loose
soil to take up and hold the water.
Then there are level clay loan soils
that need drainage, and if we pillow
these lands and run a subsoiler below
the breaking pillow, the subsoil will
simply settle back as before and little
good will be done by the deep break
ing until the field is under drained.
Then again, all over the Southern
Coastal Plain there are deep sandy
soils. Now, to break these very deep
and subsoil them would not only be
waste of labor but an actual damage
to the soil, for in such land we
should endeavor to get sort of hard
pan formed below the blowing in or
der to make the soil hold water and
plant foods. On such soils lime APP
piled to the surface and merely har-
rowed in will settle down and form
just such retentive layer below.
Hence, in the matter of depth of
blowing one must take the character
of the soil into consideration, and
what would be deep blowing on san
dy soil would be shallow blowing on a
red clay hill. Where there is no clay
in reach of a good turning pillow, l
would assume that inches is deep
enough to pillow that soil, while on red
clay hill l would turn inches and
run the subsoiler in the fall as deep
again in the burrows, giving a loose
bed t6 inches deep.
Then, when this blowing settles and
the cultivation is frequent and shall
low there is formed a means for the
capillary moisture to rise freely.-W.

The Cigarette.

The cigarette habit is the most po-
tent factor for the development OF
crime in a boy. Where the most de-
basing offenses are charged it has been
my experience to find that the boy is
victim of the cigarette habit. The
insidious poison is at the bottom of
the trouble. In the course of time the
lad begins to inhale the smoke through
the nostrils, an then poisoning of the
blood and brain follows. His wnole
system soon becomes filled with leth-
argy; he loses his ambition; always
behind in his school work; eventually
loses his job because he hasn't the nor
NAL vitality that boy should have,
and becomes loafer. IL few years
he won't be- worth picking out of the
gutter, and he will steal to get money
in order that he may satisfy his appe-
tite. Judge Stubs of Indianapolis.

Last week to help out Prof. Stevens
in His effort to get a dictionary into
every home in the county, we offered
the dictionary prepared by him, and
the News one year for one dollar. Not
a soul has ever said a word about this
remarkable offer or even grunted at
the price, the last being especially re-
markable. 1t is needless to say we
wouldn' make anything on the deal,
but we wanted to assist in getting die
tionaries into the homes of the people.

HINTS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The following hints to correspond
euts are given in spirit of improve
ment, and not TO make fun Of the
writings of any of the correspondents.
If they are written in jocose way, it
is simply to ensure their reading, and
to avoid dry-as-dust treatment. We
snail expect correspondents TO note our
criticisms, and if they have offended
against any of them, make correction
accordingly. Other criticisms will
follow as time and opportunity offer.
THE EDITOR.
1t is not necessary to say WAS Wis
iting," OF were visiting ''Visit-
ed" is sufficient for all purposes, and
above all don't say "were visiting at
Mr.. So-and-So's. Say visited Mr..
So-andSo. The other expression is
barbarous.
In speaking of cheese or sorghum
don't refer to it as them" or "they."
1t might be proper in the first case if
the cheese was infected with shippers,
but hardly conducive to a good appe-
tite, and the sorghum might have had
the cover left off and got filed with
flies To avoid this wrong impression
always say this, or that cheese, "
this, or that sorghum" instead
of "them cheese" "them sorghum.
A gentleman never shops. 1t is the
peculiar function of lady. A gentle
man either buys goods or trades at
store. See the point.
In speaking of two persons use the
plural form of the verb. 1t is decided
ly bad form to say "Mr. and Mrs. So
and so was sick. "Were" is the
proper form of the verb. This simple
rule of grammar is greatly offended
against, and it is so simple that it is
criminal not to observe it.
Don't prefix Mr.. in front of a mans
name. Every man is supposed to be a
Mister, and few we'll regulated
newspapers have time to put up the
abbreviation mr. thousand or
two times week, just for the fun of
it. Life is too sholt for printers for
such sport.

SEATTLE'S ELECTIONS NON

The coming election in Seattle for mu-
nicipal officials from mayor to councilmen
will be non partisan Any candidate for Of
flee who is so at the behest of any political
party or organization can not legally qualify
for the office to which he may have been
elected To become candidate for a mu-
nicipal office in Seattle twenty-five qualified
voters must sign petition requesting A, b
or to be candidate for mayor or any
other office that is to be filled and file the
said petition with the city comptroller, who
will at once notify the person petitioned to
become candidate and such person must
accept the same within ten days or the name
will not appear on the ballot. The names
of all persons so petitioned will appear on
the primary ballot Where there are more
than one candidate for the same office the
two getting the highest number of votes at
the primary election will be declared the
regular nominees and though one of them
gets majority of all the votes cast yet such
candidate is only nominee and must be
voted for two weeks later at the regular
election. That no one may be misled we re-
peat, no one seeking official honors in Sc
attic must do so as the candidate OF any
party or such candidate is ineligible. This
is said in view of the fact number of
mayoralty barkuses are being groomed by
party organizations At her next election
Seattle will elect mayor, corporation
counsel, city comptroller, city treasurer,
three regular councilmen each for three
years and one councilman for one year to
serve out the unexpired term of Councilman

council will only serve one year as Mr. Stein

CURREN6 COMMENT


In holding the indictments against certain
would-be Alaska coal land grabbers valid the
United States Supreme Court has saved the
government s vast coal fields from the Gluten
es Of syndicate Of human hogs, who would
not hesitate to corral the air in order to
financially profit therefrom. 1t does not
amount to tinker's damn whether any of
the men indicted are convicted since the
government s right to prevent syndicating
her natural resources at the expense of the
masses by knocking out the demurrer set
up by the defense and sustained by Judge
G. I'll. Hanford, was thoroughly established.
The next move of the coal barons will be
to keep Congress from authorizing govern
ment officials from developing the country
at the expense Of the general government.
When the McNamaras plead guilty, the
most diabolical crime of the century was laid
open for inspection. "God works in mys-
terious ways His wonders to perform, y and
He caused that brace of foul red-handed
murderers to plead guilty that the monu-
mental crime of the age would have no con-
dolers as it would have had the men been
found guilty by the ordinary process Of law.
1t, however, is the concensus of opinion that
the McNamaras plead guilty, at the be-
hest of the 'higher-ups, who, per-
haps, are equally guilty before the
fact with the view of protecting them
selves. Organized labor as whole may
not have been a known party to the McNa-
maras crimes, but it's actions in the past to-
ward non-union workmen condoned those
crimes, and it's effort to raise half million
dollars to defend the McNamaras without
knowing whether they were guilty or inno-
cent is proof sufficient that they were will
ing and ready to resort to any manner OF
violence to prevent non-union workmen from
taking the places of striking union men.
The last leap of the Sixty second Congress
of the United States Of America is being
spun off, the presidential election coming
next year with the House of Representatives
Democratic and the Senate and the Presi-
dent Republican, with the Socialist assuming
threatening attitude at the front door
of the national capital the presumption is
nothing but cheap politics will either be at
tempted or accomplished during the short
session. The Alaska question, which the
Progressives purpose making the paramount
issue in Republican ranks for the presiden-
tial nomination, will cut conspicuous fig
ure in the present session. The tariff ques-
ton will likewise be worked overtime by
both Republicans and Democrats.

Not long ago the police department Of
Seattle raided hotel and arrested a num-
ber of persons, guests of the house, but in
their rooms, and so far as any one knew
obeying the law The doors of many of the
rooms were kicked open when the occupants
refused to open the door One room was
occupied by an Alaskan hunter, and he was
awakened and told to open his door or it
would be kicked open 'All right, go to it,
but if you do, there will be need Of an un-
dertaker's wagon as well as patrolman' S
wagon" and he Immediately put his shot
gun in order for action. The bluecoats
smelled mice and booked for easier victims
nor did Chief Bannick fire or lay off the
men for not breaking open that particular
door though it was the only one of many
that was not broken open that night.

in the message was the bursting of trusts.
There seems to be no denying that President
Taft purposes to throttle the trusts and
those interested in that game fully realize
what they are up against but they see no
way of bettering themselves by openly op-
posing Taft, for, perhaps, La Toilette or
even the immortal Teddy, if you please,
might fall heir to his shoes, hence they are
keeping still President Taft is in most
peculiar situation, he is charged by the la
boring people as being a trust protegee and
charged by the trust magnates as being OF
a Populist turn and seeking to disturb the
business conditions of the country, hence
under the circumstances neither faction
really wants him to be his own successor.
His recent message, however, has to an ex-
tent lessened common criticism of him.
Whether Governor Hay will or will not
call an extra session we verify doth not
know, but we are inclined to believe he will,
not because he will be convinced of its ne
cessity, but because he will hope to make
some political capital of it for his own can
didacy. The calling of the legislature will
mean at least the expenditure of 100000
of the states money and all for the sake of
sickly sentiment. A lot of claquers want a
Presidential preferential vote taken for an
advertisement for La Toilette The state OF
Washington, in our opinion, is most decided
ly in favor of La Toilette for President and
the members Of the Republican State Cen
tral Committee should not hesitate to order
general primary election to elect delegates
to the various county conventions, who, at
the state convention would select delegates
to the national convention, which convention
would take such steps towards endorsing
a Presidential candidate as it saw fit.

EARTH'S SoRRoWINC.

How little we know of the lives we
meet!
In the common walk, on the crowded
street!
Of the sorrows borne and the secrets
hidden.
OF the hearts all sin-scared and an
guished-riven.
OF the broken vows and forgotten
prayers,
OF the yielded will to the tempter's
snares,
OF the bitter hate and sheltered sin
Where the light of heaven can ne'er
get in.
How little we know when smile is
worn.
That the heart is pierced with
sinous thorn!
Oft the face that is gentle and calm
and sweet,
Hides the bruisedest heart of all we
meet.
How little we know, and so let us be
More gentle. and tender with all we
see.
Lest we trample unknow broken
heart,
Or cause all unbidden the tears to
start.
How little we know, All tits better so !!
That all of the burden of sin and woe
And the secret of hearts be unmasked
and known,
To Jesus the Savior of men alone.
How little we know of the soul we
meet!
In the common walk in the crowded
street,
But we know that Jesus can heal
the smart,
Of the sinful and broken and bleeding
heart. ETHEL V. KING.
