CRIME OR IAWo

II would not be strange if in the
excitement over the New York
der reports concerning the conditions
underlying 1t should be exaggerated.
But II a fraction Of those reports are
true the chief city of the nation on
fronts the issue whether it ie to be
ruled by a defiant combination of the
criminal classes with the police OF by
tho law honestly administered.
Moreover, 1t n fail to impress
itself upon a close observer that the
most sensational allegations are those
Indicated by the facts. If 1t had been
an obscure and unsupported clique of
gamblers who killed Rosenthal for
making trouble they could have
found opportunity for doing 1t Sec
reilly or as If in the commission Of
ordinary crime. The pains taken to
DO 1t in one of the most public places
of the city, with a half dozen patrol
men in the close vicinity and with
little care to cover the trail of the
murderers, can be explained only on
one theory. The purpose was to ter
rorize the public; to advertise the
fact that the combination between
gamblers and their police allies is SO
powerful that they can murder any,
n who troubles them and go un.
punished.
This manifestation, according to
current reports, is still rampant. The
district attorney, If the reports are
true, is in possession Of full testimony
as to those concerned in the crime.
The men arrested for connection with
the automobile used were advised by
their counsel to give full evidence,
which they did. But the district at
torney and the counsel for the con-
Tossing witnesses have received warn
ings that IL this evidence is used they,
too, will be killed. OF course, the
'~'squealers" would have been killed
by this time If they were not safe in
prison.
Making all due allowances for ex-
aggeration due to excitement. it is
plain tina there is a square fight be-
tween the rule Of terrorism and as
sassination on one side and of law
on the other. The Camorra or Malta
in Italy are not more destructive Of
social safety than this New York af-
1iliation Of crime and police system.
We do not. Of course suppose that
either the police commissioner or the
body Of his officers are engaged in
this criminal conspiracy. But that
there are officials 30 entrenched as
to be able, SC far, to direct crime to
their own advantage is a conclusion
from which it is difficult to escape.

suitable cultivation to ground, devot-
ed to the growth Of corn, potatoes
and field roots. The cultivation given
to these crops is the equivalent of the
cultivation given to summer fallow
land. and the results are relatively the
same. The stand of. the corr on much
OF the land the present season Is not
good, because of the poor character of
the seed. Because of this the cultiva-
ton given to these crops should be.
none the less faithful, as the more
perfect the cultivation the more per-
fec will be the conservation of soil
moisture.
1t can be done, third. by breaking
up the prairie acres and managing
them properly when they are broken.
In all average seasons, the prairie
becomes so dry that after the advent
of July, blowing as a rule must cease.
Flowing on the prairie should con-
tinue as long as the land can be read
lily plowed. The present season land
can be plowed in July and gotten in
good condition for sowing winter
wheat in August, while the same
would not be practicable in a season
of drought. Let the breaking Of the
prairie. therefore. continue as long as
this work can be easily done. even
tAAooSi iOdl SIloulo 1lOl We
sown on the land for it puts the land
in good condition for growing spring
grain the following season, but in
every instance the land should be
packed as DOR as 1t is plowed and a
dust OF soil mulch made upon it by
the use of the harrow.
1t can be done, fourth. by discing
the land as soon as the grain crop has
been removed. The value Of such
discing should prove highly helpful in
growing the crop for 1913. The aim.
therefore. the present season. should
be to disc the land as soon as possible
after the grain crop has been remov-
ed, and to pillow the land again later
in the season. The influence on the
retention of moisture will in this way
be material.
BY giving careful attention to these
things the crop of 1913 will be ma
terially aided by the moisture that is
carried over in the soil and subsoil.
Many are clinging to the hope that
the seasons are changing and that
with the breaking up of the soil the
annual rainfall will increase. Such
a hope is delusive. The rainfall does
rot change materially. That it is not
materially influenced by the breaking
up of the soil was very clearly shown
in North Dakota in 1910. This was
one of the driest years that Dakota
ever had and vet much of the soil had
been broken in all parts of that state
previous to the year of 1910.

Keep the Moisture
In the Soul

(By Prof. Thos. Shaw.)

- iioS Gi2oMs
In North Dakota and Montana the
rainfall has been unusual both in the
of 1911 and since the opening
OF the spring, the present year. AS a
result the promise of abundant Yields
never was better than at the present
time. The acres to which this condi-
ton will not apply in either state are
very limited. The promise of the har-
vest of grains is not only unusually
bright, but this also applies to the ma
tive pastures and to native hay. The
Oldest ranch men are claiming that
they never saw the conditions better.
Let the farmers then take advantage
OF these conditions and they will not
only have a bumper crop in 1912. but
they will SO far insure the crop in
1913. How can they do this? The
answer to hat question will form the
principal feature of this paper.
This can be done, first, by taking
U care of the summer fallow land.
what does hat mean? 1t means two
things. 1t means. first, keeping a dust
mulch on the summer fallow and sec
ono, keeping the fallow land clean. 1t
is much more difficult to maintain this
dust mulch when showers are frequent
than when the season is dry. for every
ain that goes down through the dust
mulch destroys it. until it is made
again by narrowing the ground as
soon as 1t is dry enough to admit of
such narrowing. The more frequent
the rains. the more is the labor called
for in maintaining this dust mulch,
but this labor should o be grudged.
since it prevents the escape of moist
ure which is so precious in a dry
country. But 1t means second, keep
ing the land free from weeds which
so rapidly sap moisture u of the soil
where they are allowed to grow. on
such land they should not be allowed
to grow and such growth can be pre-
vented by the judicious use of the disc
and harrow.
1t can be done. second. by giving

Henry 7. cannon, former member Of
