Dlscing Land For Corn.

Comparatively few men realize the
value Of discing land before breaking,
especially before breaking for corn.
If the corn is to follow corn, this prac-
tice is especially valuable as the har-
row works both as stalk cutter and as
a soil pulverizer.
The saving of the corn stalks, as
compared with burning, is of much
benefit for the amount of humus ad-
ded and also for the increase in the
watar holding capacity of the soil.
By the use of the harrow, the stalks
can be chopped up and then turned
under they will be thoroughly mixed
with the surface soil that they will rot
quicker and will also be out of the
way of the cultivators in cultivating
the corn crop.
Still another benefit of no little i'm
portance is the puiverizatlon OF the
surface soil which allows of more
water being absorbed and also forms
mulch for holding moisture, which
would otherwise be lost. This mulch
formed on the surface tends to keep
the soil much more mellow and con-
sequently the breaking will be found
to be much easier On disced than on
crusted land. This mellow pulverized
surface layer formed by the disc is
also of considerable importance in es.
tablishing the connection between the
surface soil and the subsoil after plow.
ing 80 that water may be drawn uI
| from below.
| Considering then, three points in
favor Of the discing there is no ques'
ton of its value in preparation sof 8
corn crop and the many excellent re-
ports from farmers in various places
surely speak we'll for the practice
The Experiment Station strongly re
cOmmends che use Of properly
weighted disc harrow for stalk lane
before breaking. This is really bes
done in the fall or winter when tn,
season will allow of it, but the advan
tages of discing in the spring are SUI
ficientiy important to permit OF it,
being NJ o t universally recon-
mended,

The above picture is a speaking
likeness of Hon. Simon G. Nipper. OF
Potosi, who has for some time been
tentatively candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for Congress nom
the Thirteenth District. and who nov
regularly announces his candidacy for
this preferment. For those of our
readers who may not know Mr.. Nipper
personally, we give the following
sketch:
Simon G. Nipper is a son OF Rev.
J. A. Nipper, Baptist minister, who
is we'll known in Washington and
Crawford counties. He was born 80
years ago on Cub Creek, in the vest
ern part of this county. the locality
at that time being typically the back
woods of Missouri. He grewup there.
and at the age of II his father moved
with his family to Crawford county.
His course OF life he turned into 4
channel different from that proverb-
tally followed by ministers sons. lie
realized, that born to humble circum-
stances, it devolved upon himself to
hew out his career and he went about
it right manfully and without fear of
the trials and hardShips the effort
would oali for. He first of ali sought
knowledge, and after acquiring the
rudiments of an education in the
country schools, he wentto the Chilli
cothe Normal, where he swept and
took care of the college for his boar,;
and tuition. Later he attended the
Steelville Normal school, taught
school, studied law and was admitted
to the bar in February, Ig15. To pay
back money he had borrowed to aid
him in making his way through the
schools, he worked as miner III the
St. Francois county lead mines, which
demonstrates his integral honesty and
Characteristic manhood.

A Roosevelt Complement.

Undoubtedly Mr.. Roosevelt will con-
slider the more than a column OF
double loaded editorial vituperation
poured out upon his head py the Re-
pubic as the greatest compliment
paid him during his visit to st. Louis.
There is but one Interpretation to put
upon an attack so vicious by an oppo-
sition paper, and that Is belief that
he would be the hardest candidate to
beat that the other party could nomi-
nate.
Mr.. Roosevelt ut present is only
seeking the Republican nomination
The fight between him and Mr.. Taft
is fight among Republicans. DEM
ocrats have nc legitimate interest in
it, save to look on and make whatever
outside comment they may see tit.
After the convention, whichever Sc
cures the nomination will become a
legitimate object Of attack by Demo
Gratis as a candidate.
For dyed-in-the-wool party organ
Of the opposition to attack him SC
violently and almost hysterically in
advance of the nomination Is Il con
fession of fear so plain that it may
we'll cause Mr.. Roosevelt to smile witt
qualification. And hesitating RepUb
licans may, perchance, say to them
selves, "Well, il the Democrats are
so afraid of him as that. perhaps he
would be the best man to nom
inate.'
1t looks like COOL politics for the
, Democrats to try to kill Off Roosevelt
but such an assault as this Is iauitl
execution. - 81. Louis Star.
