TEDDY MAY

RUSH NOW
ON A SPECIAL TO CHICAGO
Spectacular Stunt Down on
Program

New York. June 12-The stage set
ting has been arranged by the third
term boomers for the last play in the
series of "grandstand features" which
form the program to capture the re-
publican nomination.
This became known when it was
learned that third-termers have ar
ranged to have a special train in read
mess on the New York Central rail-
road prepared to start at moments
notice in the wild dash across the
country bearing the third term candi-
date to the convention city
According to the financial hackers
of the third-term movement, it has
been settled that their candidate shah
go to Chicago and the only question
remaining to be settled is when he
shall go.
The program is for the representa-
tives to raise a great cry of fraud con-
corning the contests for seats in the
convention. When this cutlery has
become loud enough, the third-term
candidate will announce suddenly that
he will go to the front to slap the
bosses, fight for the preservation or
the country and nation and do other
similar deeds of valor. Then the train
will puff away with the expectation
of the press agents of the third-term
movement is that the eyes of the entire
nation will be centered on this train
as it speeds across the country. The
expectation of those in charge of the
special train arrangements is that the
public interest in the race against time
to Chicago will overawe the delegates
to the convention and clinch the third
term nomination. If, however, it be-
comes evident that special trains and
record trips will not serve to weaken
Mr. Taft's strength in the convention
it is understood the financial hackers
of the expedition will save their
money and not make the trip.

MIST STOP OUR LANDS
81, FROM WASHING AWAY

I washing simply by a judicious rota-
ton of crops with decent and a winter
cover. To crop any land at all rolling
year after year, until the soil is rob
bed of all vegetable matter and has
become dead and lifeless, is to invite
gullies. Terraces will solve the prob
lem in many cases-not weed-grown
banks and ugly bitches, but low broad
swells of earth, or real terraces one
amove another.
The hillside ditch may be necessary
in some cases. Tile drainage will yet
solve the problem for thousands OF
acres, the writer feels certain. Other
thousands which men are now trying
to tend will have to be put into grass
or replented to forest trees. Indeed,
when land cannot be held in place by
deep blowing, cover crops, the Man
gum terrace and proper cultivation, or
by good under-drainage, it ought not
to be cultivated at all.
On land that is now being cultivated,
attention to few points will do much
to prevent or to lessen the damage
from surface water. Here are four of
them:
l. Rows should be layed off with
the contour of the land, and not up and
down the hill.
2. Cultivation should be level, that
is, there should not be ridges made to
catch and hold the water until it
gathers sufficient volume to breaks
through and starts a wash.
3. When gulley is started, no mat
ter how small, it should be stopped at
once. Just as soon as the ground
dries after hard rain, but the cult
vatOrs to work and fill up all the lit
tie bitches. If any are to large for
this, or if any start in places where
the cultivator will not do the work,
fill them at once with manure, straw,
leaves, any sort of litter.
4. If there is a natural depression
down which the water must run, seed
it down with redtop or plant it to Ber-
muda, and leave it unbroken. If moth
ing else, scatter can seed thickly
along it.
The waste of soil must be stopped
