Save The Straw

little trouble to dispose of their
straw. This year with a large
wheat crop, hundreds of farm
ers are distressed at the loss
of good wheat ground covered
with stacks of straw. Doubtless
thousands of straw piles will be burn
ed, shameful thing to do. But
what can be done about it? There
are several ways of avoiding this al
most sin.
In the first place the average
farmer does not use one.tenth enough
straw for bedding for his stock.
There is no more profitable way of
using straw than to use plenty of it
in the stables, thus conserving all
the liquid eXcrement of the animals
stabbed, and the straw itself becomes
a valuable fertilizing element. Not
only should more of it be used in
stables, but farmers can we'll afford
to use smaller yards for their dairy
COWS, and even for their "feeders"
or their fattening cattle, and then
cover these yards with two or three
feet of straw, and thus uuadruple
the quantity and double the value of
manure for the fields. A hillside
is no place for feed yard, and an
acre is large enough for feed yard
for from twenty to forty cattle. The
time has come when the farmer
must study ways of increasing his
supply of farm manure.
The Aext best way to utilize
these thousands of. stacks of straw
is to spread them over the fields i'm
mediately after threshing. OF
course, this cannot be done safely
if wheat is to follow wheat, unless
the ground is moist when plowed.
If the ground is dry, the spreading
should be postponed until about the
last of October, when it may be
spread over the wheat field. Where
wheat stubble is to be plowed in the
fall and put to corn or sorghum crop
the straw may be spread any time
after threshlng and plowed under
before December. Straw spread
spread right on the wheat in Octob-
er Or any time in the winter will
help to stop blowing, will hold moist
ure, and later will will add to the
humus contept when plowed under
the next year. 1t is important that
our thousands of straw stacks be
put into the ground in some way.
Not one should be burned. Straw
is estimated to be worth about So. 30
ton as fertilizer and in my judg.
ment it is worth more than that as
humus material. Our western lands
are in sore need of humus, and it
will pay every farmer to study ways
Of getting all his strrw back into the
ground from whence it came. There
is no need of factories to use up this
straw as it is worth so much TO the
farmer as humus and fertilizer ma
terial. that he cannot afford to sell
it 1t belongs to the soil. A Kan
sas farmer has recently invented a
straw spreader that will spread a
"swath" twenty feet wide. But get
the straw back to the fields in some
way. ]. H. Miller.

Will Stubbs Sign
Topeka, Kansas, Oct. aS, l,

position up to Governor Stubbs,
his Republican opponent, which, if
accepted, will certainly remove
from the Senatorial Contest the
candidate who receives the least
number of votes next Tuesday.
Judge rhomnson's proposition is
simply JOINT agreement that the
looser at the general election will
withdraw finally as Senatorial
Candidate. 1t settles all doubt as
to Judge Thompson's position on
the popular election of Senators,
whether it will settle the doubt as to
the position of Governor Stubs
depends upon his answer to the
letter Judge Thompson is address
ing to him. The following is a
copy af the letter:
Topeka, Kans., Oct. 2S, 1912.
To Governor w. r. Stubs:
The Topeka Capital and other
papers supporting your candidacy
are Intentionally or unintentlonally
publishing articles that tend to con-
fuse the voters about your and my
position respecting the popular vote
for Senator. That there may be
no misunderstanding about the
matter, | make you for the third
and last time this proposition:
That we join in the enclosed public
statement to be signed by each of
US, that the one securing the most
votes at the polls, November 5th,
shall be the candidate before the
Legislature for election and the
other to retire in his favor. This
will be in accordance wita the letter
and spirit of the Oregon law as adj
opted in Kansas. If you are be-
licver in popular rule in this regard,
you should not longer hesitate to
accept my proposition. The people
of this State want their expression
to settle the Senatorship, and are
entitled to know whether you will
agree to this before they cast their
ballots. Kansas people will not
tolerate any Lorimer business after
they have decided the matter by
their votes. They want it settled
at the polls, and l do too. Do
you? If you favor it, please sign
one of the duplicate agreements
herewith enclosed and return to ne,
retaining one | have signed for
your own use.
Very respectfully,
VIM. H. Thompson,
With the letter is enclosed the
following agreement, which Judge
Thompson has already signed
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE
STATE OF KANSAS
Believing that the election of
Senator should be by popular vote,
it is hereby agreed by VIM. H.
Thompson, democratic nominee
for United States Senator, and w.
r. Stubs, Republican nominee for
United States Senator, that SO far
as it is in our power we viii bring
about the election of the man who
secures the popular vote at the
coming election, November 5th,
1912; and we and each of US hereby
agree to abide by the popular vote,
and withdraw in case the other re-
ceives the highest number of the
peoples votes in favor of the party
SO receiving such popular vote.
Executed in duplicate at Topeka,
Kansas, this 18th day of October,
1912, to become effective only upon
the signature of both parties to this
agreement.
(Signed) VIM. H. Thompson.

San Francisco, Aug. 21.-Whether the original Wilson or the men who supported Champ Clark in California and defeated Wilson at thepresidential primaries by three to one vote are to manage the presidential campaign in this state, is a grave question that will soon be decided by the State Cen tral Committee of the party. Shortly after Wilson's nomination the Clark men who control the 1arty executive committee, placed Dewitt in charge of Wilson's campaign in this state This has greatly raised the ire of the original Wilson men.
