PREPARE FOR WINTER WHEAT
Where sown After Barley or Oats
Should Be Piowcd as Soon as Pos
sIbIe After Harvest.

Whe6e wheat is sown after barley.
oats or wheat seeded on last falls
cornstalks, the field should be plowed
as early after harvest as possible. II
this cannot be done at once, harrow
the land to break down the stubble
and destroy weeds and start weed
seeds to terminate. The rubbish will
act as mulch and keep the ground
moist. and it will pillow much easier
than If left unprotected to bake in the
hot summers sun.
The three-horse double springtooth
harrow and the double steel disk are
the two best implements for cutting
up stubble ground. Three heavy
horses hooked to the disk harrow will
cut the ground fully five inches In
depth. By narrowing the field both
ways before the grounds becomes too
hard the land will be put in nice con-
dition to pillow later in the month.
The ground should be plowed early
this month SO the stubble turned I'M
der will rot and the ground settle
nicely before 1t is time to drill. The
ground should be narrowed few days
after it Is plowed to prevent the es-
cape OF moisture. Fresh plowed land
can be well pulverized by one cross
narrowing, An occasional narrowing
should be given to keep the ground
mellow and to kill weeds. This meth
cd is equal to q summer fallow and
without the loss Of a crop. Land SO
prepared can be drilled to wheat and
seeded to grass by the middle OF Sep

The ultimate consumer" has pic

that the dividends on watered stock
have flowed from the high prices

Among the charges against the wire

York IN this:
"Raw materials were bought

PENDANTS. being prices lower than

ton o. manufacturers who practically
controlled wire production. 1t is

GAME OF DODGE AND DELAY
Cry for Tariff Commission Merely .
Scheme to Fasten Further

The history OF Schedule X is story
that might be entitled "Forty-tive
Years OF Graft. Dodge and Delay" The
first feature is that the wooden manu-
facturers agitated for tariff. then
met and agreed on tariff for wool
and wool goods" That was in 1855.
A Republican congress in 1857 enact
ed TIER drafted bill. Thirteen years
later there was agitation for revision,
which the manufacturers met with OPP
position and then their first dodge
an argument for tariff commission
After two years delay, tarin COM
mission was authorized. It was con-
trolled to such an extent that John l..
Hayes, secretary OF the National As
ISOLATION OF Wool Manufacturers, was
appointed it's president, later to be
made chairman OF the subcommittee
named to prepare the wooden and
worsted schedules. Was there any
doubt that the new bill would show
net Increases In the wool tariff. and
that reductions, II any, would be on
goods not much manufactured? That
bill was enacted in 1883. In 1890 the
Mckinley bill, which was notorious
in that 1t was drafted by Industrial In
terests. increased the tariff and espe'
cially on worsteds. Then came the re-
vision OF the Wilson bill, followed by
the Dingley bill in 1897. Secret SEES
sions were held by the senate finance
committee. S. N. D. North, secretary
OF the National Association OF Wool
Manufacturers. made the record him
self when, In, a letter to President
Whitman, he declared: Il am the only
person whom the committee allows IN
its sittings." Whitman and other
manufacturers held North "responsi-
ble' for getting the schedule right"
His work was SO satisfactory that
when the Dingley bill was passed
North received $4,000. Ten years la
ter came another agitation. Whitman.
