It is stated that the ministers Of
the Episcopal diocese of Kansas have
Joined in refusing to marry couples who
cannot procure health certificates from
reputable physicians. The intention OF
this is undoubtedly good. but the prac.
teal effect of the agreement will sim
ply be to compel those who can not
present such certificates, to go to other
ministers or to justices of the peace
to be married. A reform needs some
thing less leaky than that Kansas
Episcopal ministers agreement to get
practical results.

President Taft, in announcing a cam

later political practices. The dignified

parties Of visitors, then speech OF two

without special working up to them,
and now full-fedged campaigning.

has come, yet complete, is for the bet

THE PARCELS POST.

There are rumors Of discomfort
throughout the country IN various 10
cahtics at the delay of Congress IN
passing the parcels post bill, and eA-
pressions are noted from time to hme
and from different localities volclng
the suspicion that the express com
panies will yet head off the project,
or that thew will be able to so shape
the legislation as TO make 1t ahortive.
1t is not likely, however, In view OF
the powerful influences at work, that
the project OF the parcels post can pc
either shelved or made ineffective by

so called, is indorsed by Postmaster

hope for the passage of TINS Dill at
the present session of Congress Tne
provisions of the Bourne measure as
iudorsed by Postmaster General Hitch
cock, are as follows;

tance thus protecting local InercnahtS

There can be no doubt but that

dition that it will absorb all the
moisture readily and still not leave
the soil in a puddled condition. It is
a common thing after one of our
June rains to see great ponds Of water
in the cultivated fields, and frequently
ten days after, sometimes before the
ponds in the lower spots have dried
up, we hear the farmers complain be-
cause their crop is suffering for want
of moisture. sts K. 2,.. ";
"The crop is not suffering because
there has not been rain enough, but
because the soil in the fields was not
in condition to absorb it as rapidly

the field had been plowed for years
at the same depth, generally about
four inches, a hard pan or plow-soil
had formed underneath which was al
most waterproof. The water which
fell saturated or puddled the soil that
had been turned by the plow but did
not penetrate the under soil. When
the loose soil was filed with water

ent to start bur crop and carry it
through to heading time if we will

can be done by dragging. the plowed
land and discing the unplowed land
just as soon as; we can get onto it.
Every acre Of land that is to be plant
ed to crops this year should be eithe

do this will find an insuficiency Of
moisture to germinate his crops be.

He also urged the discing Of land be-

by demonstration how the seed bed is
made by the disc before blowing and
not by the drag following the pillow. In
other words the seed bed is down I'm.

That North OAK 80. AMI particularly

opinion of T. A. Hoverstad, superinten-
dent of the North Dakota Farmers in.
stitute, who addressed the Devils Lake
institute, Tuesday morning. at the
court house.
Mr.. Hoverstad, in his talk. declared
trat the whole region of Northern Min

are interested in potato growing, say
ing that this was due to the fact that
climatic conditions especially were al
apted to the growing of this farm pro-
duet
There is another reason,' he said.
why this crop is popular now The
price paid for the potato is so high as
to net the grower handsome profit.
But there are also arguments against
it. The price of potatoes fuctuateS a
good deal. Yields per acre ar, unrcr-
tain. 1t is perishable commodity,
but, any grower must face the same
discouragements with other crops as
well, so he should be prepared for the
disbursements to he met in the rul
ture of the potato. ''h" profits from
growing potatoes in North Dakota has
