Wheat Selection for Improving Both Yield
and Quality.

Let any farmer walk through bis
field of wheat, and he will find that all
the heads are not alike, even if sown
from the best standard varieties of seed
wheat. He will find that some heads
are larger than others, some broader
some with more grains to the head, and
some tighter in the chaff, and so or.
1t has recently become fully known that
most of these variations, unless thev
are directly induced by patch of richer
soil, are strictly and fully inhearitable
and are transmitted to their progeny ia
full vigor and perfection. If farmers
who are especially interested IN improv-
ing the yields and quality of their wheats
will go through their fields at harvest
time, and pick out the best heads from
their fields, and thresh and save them
for stock seed, they will find that it will
result in considerable improvement in
the yield, quality and uniformity of the
crop produced another season. Even if
the farmer only picks out enough heads
to make bushel to bushel and a half
of select seed, this will give him enough
to SOW an acre of wheat for the next
season, and that will produce superior
grade of seed. The product of this
should give him sufficient to give HIM a
good start towards his full seeding for
the following year.
We are following out this method of
selection on our own farms, and we hope
by this means to eventually increase
the yield of different varieties of wheat
which we offer, materially: but farmers
can accomplish very generally the same
results for themselves, if they will fol-
low out the practice as above indicated.
and increased yields per acre of all
wheats sown can very soon come to be
realized, provided this method is gener-
ally practiced in the saving and selec-
ton of seed wheat. Woods Crop Spec

two years ago The Stuart corruption
or bribery fund was the largest that
was ever used in any congressional cleo
ton in the United States, and it is more
than possible that the Wise democrats
contributed literally to that fund.
We hope the Wise democrats are
truly in earnest when they speak on
for honest elections. But halfway re-
form is no reform at all.
There is nothing more demoralizinC
to society than to have the leaders of
social life pretend to be honest when
they and their followers are humburs
and hypocrites. If social life can be
destroyed by social liars, why will not
political life be degraded and ruined by
political liars and hypocrites?

Normal School at Radford.
Any democrat who searches for the
truth will find. by inspection of the rec
ord in the second contested election case
OF Walker VS.. Rhes, that, though not
as complicated and mysterious in form
as the Scott county ballot, ballots were
used in Pulaski, Russell and Dickinson
counties that, upon their face, show
they were intended to be used fraudu-
lently-and they were used for fraud
This record also discloses the fact that a
ballot built from the same model as the
Scott county ballot was constructed
and used in the city of Bristol, at Rhea s
own home.
1t will be impossible to give many
other acts of fraud that were commit
ted at elections in this district, previous
and subsequent to the making of the
new constitution, without swelling this
already lengthy article to undue proper
tons. We shall, therefore, write an
other chapter, under the same heading,
and publish in the next issue of the Re
publican. We ask our readers to pre-
serve this article and read our next in
connection with it.

A Big Mistake.

Owing to an error by the Sec
retary of State in transmitting
names of candidates to the coun-
ty clerks in this district, the
name of Frederick w. Buck of
Flagler, republican candidate by
petition for Representative, was
omitted from some of the printed
lists last week.
However, it will be on the tick
ct next Tuesday, and you don't
want to forget that DR.. Buck is
the man who advocates the cx-
termination of the prairie dogs,
the two cent rate on all roads
east of the mountains, a new
fence law, an eight o'clock clos
ing law for saloons, state regu-
lation of public corporations and
the redistricting of representa-
tive and senatorial districts. adv

It's Up to You.

According to what Kiowa coun-
ty pays for her county printing,
the commissioners of Cheyenne
county paid $14O0 of the home
steaders and taxpayers money
for the primary election notices
in two issues of the Cheyenne
Republican and the Wild Horse
Times-$35O apiece for each is
sue. DO the voters think this
was done in the interest of the
taxpayer and homesteader, or
was it for the purpose of subsi-
dizing these papers to boost them
back into Office, and lire them up
for the same old gang, and have
it repeated next year? Does this
profligate expenditure of your
hard earned money appeal to you
as reasonable, and are you salts
fled with it? You will have Q
chance next Tuesday to rebuks
this graft-will you do it?

Whether in state senate or up
on the bench, his vision has been
that social justice and his aim

people.
The supreme court needs men
of such vision and such deter
mination. It contains too many
special pleaders for privilege.
It has too many trimmers, too
many who have mounted to the
bench through secret alliances
with corporations.
Scott can stand defeat at the

three, who received the highest vote
as recommended for district Judge.
Mr.. Cassidy is one of the best known
attorneys in the Cripple Creek district.
For FIVE years he resided in Cripple

three years practicing attorney in
Creede, and some twelve years in Col.
orado Springs. He has been a resi-.
dent of the state for q score of years
and in that time has had very ex.
tensive and lucrative practice.
Mr.. Cassidy is broad minded pa
triotic, conscientious and able man,
and no one stands higher with the le-
gal fraternity than he. His acquaint-
anceship and friends are numbered by
the thousands, and it is expected that
he will receive handsome vote for
Judge of the Fourth Judicial District
from Teller county, where he is SO
we'll and favorably known.
Mr.. Cassidy is graduate of the Law
department of the University of Notre
Dame, Indiana, and is we'll grounded
in the law. He is a progressive in
thought; is the peoples friend, stands
out open and above board against
corporation domination. If old friends
should not be forgotten, then Henry

FOR SECRETARY OF STATE.
James B. Pearce Has Made
Good and is Worthy Of Your
Support. His Record is one
That all Can Endorse.

Past state administrations hare
been notoriously lax in enforcing
the collection or taxes and the
filing of Annual Reports by cor
porations. This indifference or
neglect caused the loss of tens of
thousands of dollars to the state,
and it was not until Jarues B.
Pearce assumed the Office of Sec
retary of State that the corpora
tions were compelled to pay their
flat taxes and to file the necessa-
ry legal statements of the condi-
ton of their business during the
preceding year. This meant a
splendid increase in the revenues
of the state, while it emphasized
the fact that the present Secre-
tary of State not alone knew his
business, but was not afraid to
make corporations live up to the
law.
An analysis of the comparative
figures showing what Pearce has
done during his incumbency and
what his predecessors did not do
in the matter of revenue raising
is the best illustration of his eff
ficiency. For instance, compar-
ing the receipts of the first 18
months of the administration of
James. Cowie. republican Secre-
tary of State in 1905 and 1906,
we find the total receipts were
$277, 168. .67, while for the same
period in 1911 and 1912, under
Pearce, they were $500, ,229. SO,
an increase of s23, O61. .21.
Pearce's immediate predecessor
was T. w. O'Connor. The rec
ords show an increase of $73,-
551. .62 in the relative periods of
1907 and 1908, and of $40, 2Y. .62
in the periods 1909 and 1910. In
other words, Pearce collected
$113, ,848. "a more in 1909 and 1910
than O'Connor did in 1907 and
1908, or a grand total Of $780,
91O.O5, gained in the forty-two
months Pearce has been in Office.
Divide this total of $136, $40. O5
by forty-two, and the average in
crease per month is So, 259. .76
over the republican brethren who
were Secretaries Of State from
1905 to 1909. Why, one months
savings effected by Pearce would
almost pay his years salary. so
his retention in his office for an
other term would seem more like
an investment by the people than
anything else.
Besides it must be remembered
that this splendid result was
achieved during a period of f.
nancial depression. James B.
Pearce is the IMAM who made
good" This work, along the
line here indicated, is unfinished.
The state needs men of his abili-
ty SO that the tax laws may be
properly enforced and the bur-
dens of taxation be equitably
distributed.
The man who saves the state
So, 259. 76 per month is a mighty
good official to have in the Office
of Secretary of State.
Hon. Edward T. Taylor and w.
