n FORE than a hundred million people await
lV the report from the wheat fields. Every
~ body IS interested. A good harvest means
prosperity to all. 1t means more than prosperity
to the man whose work lies in the city or town;
to him it means existence. Two-thirds of our
people depend absolutely upon the other third
for the very bread they eat. Truly, the wheat
harvest is everybody's business, matter OF the
deepest concern to US all.
fortunately the farmers reward for his work
in the wheat fields is reasonably sure. Scientific
preparation of the soil and seed bed, rotation of
crops, selection of seed, and the of high grade
farm machines, have made good crop almost
am assured fact. For work of such importance
the best machines that can be made are abso-
lutely necessary. The harvest time is short; every
minute is important; delay is intolerable and ex-
pensive. The choice of machines to harvest your
growing crop is your most important duty.
Make your investigation thorough and complete
and you will decide that the harvesting machine

some nitrate of soda as a top dressing.
This is not likely to be the case, how
ever, for according to your letter this

more nitrogen than land which has been

INFLUENCE OF POTASH ON PLANT
LIFE.
]. C. p, Dallas, Ga.s writes: What
effect has potash on cotton? Does
potash or ammonia make the boil? On
third year ground where the stalk grows
large enough is it necessary to use
more potash, principally on gray land?
Potash performs a number of func-
tons in the plant economy. 1t aids,
for instance, in the formation and dis
tribution Of starch in plants. Starch
is formed in the presence of sunlight,
and all starch is derived through chem
ical changes and other processes of the
various elements which go to build up
the structures of the plant. You will
thus see that potash is a very impor-

cally all crops. Potash also assists
in the development of the woody
structure and flesh of fruits, and 1T
serves important purposes in neutral
izing plant acids. When there is a de-
ficiency of potash in the soil, the crops
are generally poor. The cotton often
rusts, and the legumes fail to develop
properly, and fruit is sometimes poorly
favored. Potash is essential to the
development of the cotton crop be-
cause of the various functions just emu
merated. Potash is concerned in the
formation of the boil, but nitrogen and
phosphOric acid also perform important
functions in this respect. In fact, be-
tween ten and fourteen elements are
necessary to the growth of plants as
we now understand Nthe situation. OF
this number eight or ten are generally
found in the soil in sufficient amount,
leaving three or four which it is often
necessary for the farmer to supply.
These are nitrogen, phosphorus. potash
and sometimes lime. 1t may not be
necessary to use potash on land of the
character described in your letter. es-

stalk and the cotton is free from rust

OF course, you expect to prepare your
land carefully for the cotton crop by
blowing it thoroughly as soon as practi-
cable, but do not break it while the lower
areas of the soil are too wet Much land
will be injured by breaking it when the
top soil appears to be in fair condition
for cultiva ON but the lower areas are
entirely too wet to be disturbed. Soil
of the character mentioned in your letter
should be of fair fertility, and you should
make every endeavor to turn under all
the sedge brush and other litter which
has accumulated on it, In our judgment
about a. 9-3-4 formula would be the best
to use for cotton on the soil. If there
is any tendency on the art of the cotton
to rust, however, increase the potash to
about five or six per cent, or you may
apply 90 pounds of muriate of potash with
the first side application made to the
crop. Use about 400 pounds of the above
formula under the drill row and 200
pounds as a side application not lateF

ton. As yet we have received no reply.
We assume that you have either over
looked the matter or that you feel dis
inclined to make any pledges.

assure you that we have no particular
fault to find with that attitude. but we
do assert that the people have the alb
solute right to know the views of a
legislative candidate on such ali-im.
portant issues and that no self-respect-
ing candidate can afford to keep
silent.
A frank and open statement by leg
islative candidate is not only fair
and honest course to take. but we are
inclined to think that 1t will help the
candidate in the end.
We believe that the people like can
dor and courage and admire men who
have the courage OF their convictions
No true or lasting success was ever
won by a moral coward.

Is wanted by an overwhelming major
ity of the people and the time is past
when public service corporations can
dictate the laws regardless of public
opinion.
The question is. are you one the side
of the people or are you In favor Of
fooling them as they have been fooled
time and again?
We trust that your failure to reply
to our letter has been merely an over

BETWEEN HAWLEY AND MARTIN
Newspaper Correspondent Sizes Up
Present Situation.

The Boise correspondent of the Lew
iston Tribune thus comments on the
political situation:
Another peculiar phrase of the local
situation Is that while Roosevelt seems
to be eliminated as a factor In the ma
tional equation. John M. Haines, the
Republican nominee for governor. is to
an even greater extent eliminated as a
factor In the state equation.
Here In the state capital practically
all agree that the race for governor
is between Hawley and Martin. the
Democratic and Progressive candidates.
Nine men out of ten. regardless of poll
itics, will tell you that Haines Is out
of the race and that he will be bad
third at the polls.
AS to the race between Governor
Hawley and Mr. Martin the prophets
are not so sure. The governor dcliv-
cred Il lengthy speech In this city
Wednesday evening. He devoted much
of his time to Martin and charges that
candidate had made against the present
administration. He hardly mentioned
the name of Haines.
"On the other hand, it is understood
that Martin the Progressive candidate,
devotes the whole OF his time to at
tacks upon Governor Hawley and his
administration while wholly ignoring
Haines, except az to linking him with
Governor Hawiey as a reactionary.
/ "Unless all signs fail Governor Haw
ley will be collected by "a handsome
plurality. While Mr.. Martin IL making
Il lively campaign he has been con-
yicted OF making reckless statements in
all Of his speeches. statements that no
well poised man would make. He will
get good vote because he favors a
public utilities commission and because
he Is supported quietly by the anti
saloon element in the state; but. in the
Judgment of the best political students
here. he will fall far short Of enough
votes to carry him through"
