Mr.. REPUBLICAN VOTER
Are You Willing to Have the Demo-
cratic Party Name the Republican
Candidate for President?

This is Just what the Democrats are
attempting to do all over the country.
The Democratic newspapers are
breaking their necks to nominate Taft
and are hysterical In their denuncia-
ton Of Roosevelt.
WHY? Because the Democrats
know THEY CAN BEAT TAFT In the
election il he is nominated, and know
THEY CANNOT BEAT ROOSEVELT.
Every Democrat everywhere knows
Roosevelt would be elected. This Is
why the Democratic newspapers and
the Democratic politicians are break
ing their necks to keep Roosevelt from
getting the northumberland business
on their part.
Suppose Roosevelt would prove a
weak candidate II nominated. would
the Democrats oppose his nomination
as they are now doing? Most GER
tainly not. TO BEAT ROOSEVELT
IN THE NOMINATION MEANS TO
EVERY DEMOCRAT THAT THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL WIN
AT THE POLLS IN NOVEMBER.
These are plain facts that you cannot
get away from. Think 1t out for your.
self.

prove the quality OF seed grain. The
latest movement Is to induce a group
Of farmers surrounding an elevator to

soil and climate, and demand q Graded
price at the elevator, and to breed up
this single variety SO that It can be
shipped in carloads, unmixed with
other grains and the seeds Of noxious

1t is well known fact that grain

ter will become celebrated as seed

type. and there will be call from

The one important object which the
late Wiley's controversies instilled In
to the minds Of the grain trade is that
the quality must be improved. and that
by SO doing, all Of these petty quarrels
as to grading and dockage will be
eliminated
They have taken this matter up In
various localities, and they are sue
ceeding beyond their fondest hopes in
getting these pure bred seed circl 3
organized, especially around the farm
ers' elevators, where 1t seems to be an
easy matter to get their membership

adapted to that particular locality.

BARLEY CLEARS WEEDS

Owing to its early maturity, barley
is an excellent crop for clearing the
land Of weeds. as 1t is cut before they
mature seed. After the crop IL 70
moved tho land can be plowed or
disked. thus destroying the weeds that
are growing in the stubble.. Further
cultivation will kill any that survive
this treatment or appear later. In the
semi-arid regions this added cultiva.
ton is OF considerable value in con.
serving the moisture for the succeed.
ing crop.

The total money loss to the farm
ers Of the United States In small
grains alone on account Of weeds ia
about s26.500.0O0
This estimate does not include the
loss on account OF the nutriment stol-

growth OF the cereal on account of
the weeds present.
Were all these conditions taken in.
to consideration. with the coarse
grains and grasses included, the re.
suits would be startling. and our care.

as to awaken action to recover this

their place. The sulphate OF iron
