DEMOCRATIC

A Hot Time Was Had At Glasgow
Last Saturday and Two Con.

WRITTEN BY ONE or rHB DELEGATES.
The democratic quadrennial love
feast was pulled off at Glasgow on
the 24th Instant. wherein and
whereat ten delegates to the State
Democratic Convention, to be held
at Great Falls, on the 79th instant,
were to be named. But from what
we can learn, so much energy and
enthusiasm prevailed that they
double shot the turn-in the inter-
ests of harmony-and named two
sets of delegates to insure a full
attendance.
When the meeting was called to
order, which occurred frequently
during the proceedings, announce
ment was made that there was q
contest In the South Glasgow pre-
cinct, and it was decided that the
whole convention should act as a
committee on credentials to take
testimony and decide which of the
two delegations from South Glas-
Cow were entitled to seats IN the
convention.
More time was consumed in
handing out complimentary bou-
quets between the factions than
was applied to the taking OF evil
dence. However. after all sources
Of personal and public pride had
been drained of the nectar OF broth
erly love and devotion, the feast
came to . vote placing one OF the

Of what is intended for corn can
best be deferred. Much has been
written about packing fall plowed
land, but It is not very often that
lands pIowed in the autumn require
to be packed.
Stirring the Soil in the Early Spring.
Stirring the soil in the early
spring with disc or harrow or both
as occasion nay call for, is but lit
tie practised. 1t is, nevertheless,
OF great moment and should be
done as soon as the ground can be
stirred thus without injury to its
mechanical condition. 1t stays at
once the loss of moisture from the
soil, at least for a time. Even
though crops are to be planted
late, as in the case OF alfalfa, this
stirring of the soil is very impor-
tant. Of course it can only be
done on summer fallowed land or
corn or potatoe land OF the prev
ious year, or on land that had been
autumn plowed.
Narrowing the Grain.
When grain has been sown on
land thus prepared, the moisture

the grain. The best stage for the
first narrowing is when the grain is
just beginning to appear. The
best implement for narrowing 1t,
all things considered, is hight ad-
Unstable steel harrow. The teeth
should be slanted backward with
some few exceptions But weed
er may be more suitable for very
soft soils. II a second narrowing

or S inches high at the time, sc

should be when they are several
inches high. Narrowing grain i:

CONSERVING
MOISTURE
now In the Soil. The Crop Of
1919 u Phenomenal in the
States Of Northwest
By Prof. Thos. Shaw.

The crop of 1914 is simply phe-
nominal in the states Of the North
west. In the aggregate it was
doubtless never equalsd. But the
conclusion should net be reached
that this result is owing to the high
class character of the farming.
With the same rainfall as in 1910
the result would be little If any I'M
provement on the crop Of that year.
The bumper crop Of the present is
owing almost entirely to the un-
usual rainfall Of the present season
and to the timeliness with which it
fell. This rainfall, unusual in the
length of its continuance, has not
only given the farmer the bumper
crop referred to, but it will also
give him at least a reasonable crop
in 1913 if It is properly conserved,
even though the season should be
a dry one. How shall this mois-
ture be conserved First by disc
ing the stubbles; second by plow-
ing later in season; third by stirring
the soil in the early spring with
disc or harrow or both, and fourth
by narrowing the grain once OF
oftener after it has begun to grow
Discing the Stubbles.
In an exceedingly dry year disc.
ing the stubbles after harvest may
not accomplish much by way o.
conserving moisture, but 1t viii
open up the dry soil so that rair
may penetrate it more easily SHOULD
it fall. But in a year like the pres
ent there is much moisture even II
stubble land. 1t is greatly impor
tant that it snail be conserved A
soon, therefore, as the crop is re
moved the stubble land should b.
we'll disced. II the narrow Cal
follow the operation will be NOR
