SOLID DELEGATION FROM

is overwhelmingly for the nomination
Of Theodore Roosevelt was stated to-
day by Governor William Z. Gl

rotary Of the Roosevelt organization in

that Roosevelt and not Taft is the ia
vorite Of the republicans in his state.
Plans Of campaign were discussed
along with the efforts in West Virgin
ia to have presidential preference
primary included in the call for the
state nominating primary on June 4,
although the delegates to the national
convention will have been chosen be-
fore that date. The proposition to do
SO is before the state committee for
its consideration and the Roosevelt
people will endeavor to have the plan
adopted and the delegates, whoever
they are, instructed by the primary
election to be held after their selec-
ton.
Senator Dixon said this morning:
81 was present at a meeting of more
than 200 representative republican
leaders from all sections Of the state
of Maryland at Baltimore last light
The view was unanimous that the cleo.
ton of solid Roosevelt delegation to

DEEP FLOWING

Speaking only in general terms, it is
safe to advise deep blowing at rule.
Deep plowing will entertain consid-
cradle rainfall without any run-off, and
if thoroughly compacted at time Ct
plowing and the surface broken up
whenever feasible, should a downpour
of rain cement soil particles together
and form crust, it will, to great ex-
tent, prevent evaporation. Deep plow-
ing also affords correspondingly larger
feeding space for the roots of growing
plants. The frequent cultivation rec
commended for the purpose of conserv-
ing moisture tends to destroy weeds
which do more towards producing
droughty conditions than is generally
realized.-Dr. ]. H. Worst, President
North Dakota State Agricultural Col
lege, in Dry Farming.

This manure is best spread thinly and
early in the spring; then it should be
d isked in to mix with the soil and to
get it out of the way of the hay in
time of harvest.
When manure is to be applied to non
irrigated land it is better spread even
ly and turned under when seeding ii
new field, but if the crop is already IN
the ground, it should be well rotted or
at least not coarse and trashy.
Where it is necessary to depend upon
the winter rains to leach its substance
into the soil, spread in the fall or win
ter, then disk it in the early spring.
At any rate, don't expect alfalfa land
to bring good crop year after year
without cultivation, rotation or manu-
ing.

GOVERNOR FORCES IMMI-

In a last frantic effort to save his
bankrupt administration from utter
ruin Governor Shafroth has brazenly
presumed to attone for the follies of
past extravagances by closing up one
of the most important departments of

To more effectively accomplish this
purpose he deliberately delayed the ap
pointment of a successor to Thomas F.
Mahoney, whose term expired April J.,
until he could make a trip to the west
ern slope and personally select his can
didate.
The governor returned from that
trip today with the name of the man
who will take his place on the board
tomorrow and vote with the governor
to reduce its most efficient staff.
The insistence of Governor Shafroth
in retaining Dora Phelps Buell. in the
commissioner IS office at needless ex-
pense is largely responsible for the
trouble that has been constantly hang
ing over that department.
Although the department is not
wholly closed, its efficiency will be rem
dered as completely nil and ineffective
as if every member of the office had
been relieved.
