SOIL CULTURE.
DR.. Taylor, the Famous Ex-
pert, Gives Valuable
Talk to the Farmers.

Should any one assert that the
farmers Of this locality are not
progressive and desirous of
adopting the better methods of
farming, the assertion would
have been contradicted by the
large attendance of interested
husbandmen at The soil culture
lecture given by DR.. w. E. Tay-
lor on the 17tb. The opera house
was filled on the occasion, and
the large audience was interest
ed from start to finish. The
speaker dwelt upon the necces-
sity for deep and thorough cul.
tivation of the soil, diversifying
of crops and dairying and feed.
ing of live stock on the farms to
insure the fertility of the soil,
and the great benefit of the silo
for the dairyman and stock rails
er, the growing of alfalfa or clo-
yer and the balanced ration for
dairy herds and stock. Dr.. Tay-
lor illustrated all of the points he
brought out by reference to
practical experiences of himself
and others, and stated that the
naturally rich soil of this section
OF the country by proper cultiva-
ton and conservation of moisture
could be made to produce like the
valley of the Nile, in place of the
small yields that are now being
harvested from the land. The
speaker ADVOCATED the establish.
ing of county experiment farms
where the most approved
methods could be learned.
DR.. Taylor was introduced by
Hon. c. S. Amsden and talked
for nearly two hours, and his
audience was interested to the
end. In closing he asserted that
not the Carnegies, Morgans or
other great moneyed men, but
the farmers of the country were
entitled to be designated as the
captains of iudustry.

Tip to Gardeners

Editor Case OF the Lyon
County Reporter hands out the
following tip to gardeners, which
he claims to have observed from
actual experience: eff your gar.
den last year was infested with
cut worms, now is a good time to
start the cure. Any breezy days
when Nou are taking out hard
coal ashes give them a throw out
over the garden aud let the wind
do the rest A few pans full
will completely do away with the
worm The editor has tried this
several years and during the en-
tire time has found bat two cut
worms, when others had hun
dreds In active work.

A Bad Wreck Ayerted.
Close Call for an East Bound Freight
Train and Passenger Going West
Wednesday evening Of last
Week.

Webster Farmer & Reporter:
Gee. but there was some eX-
element at the Milwaukee depot
in this city last evening about
seven clock. The operator, Mr..
Harris, had just given a freight
train orders to 60 on east and
could see them going up the Nc
Kennett hill when the instrument
clicked bearing a message from
the dispatcher's S office that the
operator or agent at Waubay had
made mistake in his orders and
let passenger train come west.
There was but one way to avert
catastrophy-over the telephone.
Could it be done? Central i'm
mediately put all the wires in
to commission and Bert Hughes
was got in sufficient time to 90
down to the track from his farm
home with lantern and flag one
of the trains and that crew of
course protected the other. 1t
was narro escape and proves
the value of the telephone in an
emergency.

Apple Trees.
A Big Price Paid for Minnesota vari-
ty Exhibited ut the Minne-
sofa State Fair.

Two thousand dollars for sim
gle apple tree That may seem
fabulous, like the golden apple of
Hans Christian Anderson, and
that is just what has been paid
by an Owatanna man for a Min
nesota product. The buyers
were Sen. Thomas E. eastman
of Owatanna, and Clarence We'd
ge of Albert Lea, and the sellers
were Farmer Perkins and wife
of Red Wing, MINI.
1t came about in this way:
Nineteen years ago, Mrs. Per-
kins, in pairing and coring an ap-
pie, discovered that the seeds
were sprouting and called her
husbands attention to the fact.
He suggested that they plant the
apple, which they christened
"Malinda. They did and from
the sprout grew some of the fines
trees in the state.
Last year some of the apples
from the new bearing trees were
exhibited at the Minnesota state
fair and there attracted the at.
tention of Mr.. eastman and Mr..
Wedge. They decided to pur.
chase the seedlings, realizing the
Importance of fruit growing Of
this sort in Minnesota. Accord.
ingly they paid $4,000 each for q
Seeding and recently each
bought second Seeding for the
dtitional price of $500.
Both gentlemen operate large
nurseries and are among the
the most expert fruit judges in
the country.

Egan Enters.
Fires the First Gun of the Primary in
Behalf of George.

The primary campaign for
state officers on the republican
ticket was opened, SO for as G.
W. Egan could open it last Fri
day evening, when that gentle
man presented his candadicy to
Milbank people. Mr.. Egan is
not foOlishly modest and explain.
ed that providence always pro
vided man for all great crises
in history. A Moses to take the
lsraelites out of bon lage, Jesus
to establish christianity, Lincoln
to free the slaves and save the
union and the intimation was tha
the man is at hand to save the
countries present emergency.
Mr.. Egan was introduced by At
torney Rix and began his speech
with a review of the Kaufman
case, and a general self gloriti-
cation stating that it was because
he refused to be bought off
by even a $4,000 bribe, that Kauf
man and friends threatened to do
him, and intimated that that was
the sole cause of his disbarment.
The speaker was particularly Sc
we're Oh the railroads and banks
and referred to the effort for a
two cent passenger rate as use
less thing because the common
people didn t travel much, but a
little later told how when he be-
came Governor he will have the
depots lighted and heated for
the accommodation of these same
common people who don t do any
travelling AS to the banks, they
were not paying their share OF
taxes-while the poor man S
horse and dray were taxed the
rich banker escaped. Mr..
Egan gloried in being a repub-
lican, but scored the republican
state administration as a burden
some, corrupt organization whose
only business was the distribu-
ton Of pie, and referred to the
the creation of several state Off
ces as making a burden of taxes
upon the common people, being
particularly, sarcastic on the bee
inspectors but failed to state
that the inspectors secured not
a cent out of the public treasury,
being paid by the bee men them
selves.
Mr.. Egan was very positive
that he was to be elected COVER
nor, and the present factional
strife in the republican party
lends good deal of color to his
prophesy, but it is hoped that
the party may not have to enter
upon campaign of explanation
and apology for the head Of the
ticket.

Some Candidates.
1t is Believed that all the Offices will
be Filled this Year, as there will
be No Shortage Of Candidates.

w. S. Nixon, the present eff
cient county auditor has an an
nouncement of his candidacy for
denomination and election, and as
he is but serving his first term in
this position and has made an
excellent officer, il is probable
that no one will care to contest
the matter with him and he will
be renOminated and elected with
out opposition, as he should be.
William Jennings, w h o an
nounces himself a candidate for
sheriff, is also first termer and
by all the laws and usages Of the
political manual Mr.. Jennings
would be entitled to a free course
in his race for the position. His
experience in the office and we'll
known qualifications, which have
been amply tested, will make 1T
difficult matter for any one to at
tempt to compete with him.
Already two candidates are IN
the field for the republican nomi-
nation for county treasurer, one
of these is the present deputy
county treasurer, A. j. Lindahl,
who has been Ire asurer j. O.
Nelson's assistant in Office for
several years past, and is familiar
with all it's details. He is a gentle
man of the strictest integrity, a
good accountant and if called up
on to fill the office he would do so
with credit to himself and to the
satisfaction Of the people of the
county. He will have a strong
support in the southern part of
the county where he has lived
since early boyhood, and in fact
everywhere where he is known.
julius Fenner of Twin Brooks,
is the other candidate for county
treasurer, and the contest for
this Office promises to be a spirit
ed one. Mr.. Fenner served the
county as commissioners for
several years and was a candi
date four years ago for the nomi-
nation for treasurer, and his close
run to the successful candidate,
Mr.. Nelson, shows that he has
many political friends who would
like to see him in the Office, for
which he is we'll qualified both as
to character and ability.
For register of deeds, Mr..
Franz Wendland has served his
second term and there are two
candidates in the field to take his
place Mr.. Lars Lundquist, of
Strandburg, is gentleman who
served for several years as depu-
ty county treasurer, and four
years ago was candidate against
the present retiring register of
deeds. He is fully competent and
would make an efficient officer if
elected, as he is familiar with the
clerical work and trust worthy in
every respect.
Mr.. c.. r. Redman of Alban is
also in the race for the nOmina-
ton for register of deeds. Mr.
Redman met with quite serious
automobile accident year Or SO
ago, was for long time laid up in
the hospital and has been Grip
Piled physically more or less by
this misfortune. Gus says he
has lots of friends who will be
glad to help him along in his
canvass for the position.
There are"probably others than
the above who are looking over
the field of county politics,
and will later publicly announce
their candidacy.

His Intentions Were Good

Philadelphia Record: A resident Of
Quincy, Mass, who has just passed his
sixty eighth birthday, celebrated the
anniversary by setting aside fund Of
$4,000. the income of which is to be
divided among the 80 organized
churches Of that city for the purpose
of breaking down interdenominational
barriers. The purpose Of the donor
seems excellent, but it is a little diff
cult to see how the sum of S25, which
will be each church's annual share of
the income, is going to accomplish any
thing of Importance. Probably the
broad minded example of this philan-
thropist will be of much greater value
than his money, and may help to bring
about the reform he aims at. The un
necessary duplication Of churches IS
enc of the scandals Of the day. Quincy
would seem to be especially afflicted,
for it has a population of only 1000,
which gives it church for every 1000
persons Obviously there are more
churches than are required for the
spiritual needs of its people. and if A
eduction could be made by breaking
down nterdenominationa bars lne re
suits would be beneficial both there and
elsewhere.
