wees and Overlooking Rivers.
New Orleans, April 19-With con-
ditions today in the overflowed terri
tory of the Mississippi river in south
eastern Arkansas, northwestern Mis-
sissippi and northern Louisiana stead
iiy growing worse, the plight of vic
tins who have been rendered home
less by the rush of the waters from
the breaks In the levees in those dis
trlcts is deplorable. Hundreds Of these
nave been cared for at the emergency
camps, established along the lines of
the levees at various points but owing
to the inaccessibility Of some of the
various points there is much suffering
due to lack of food.
AT least 40 small towns have been
inundated by the muddy waters from
the big stream, and it is certain that
many more will feel the destructive
eifect of the most disastrous floods in
the history of the valley.
TWO boat loads of provisions were
delivered at Tallulah today. This
partly relieved the food situation. as
supplies had almost been exhausted
Every street Of Tallulah is deep under
water
BUSINESS and traffic in the Yazoo
delta, which is being overflowed by
the break at Beulah, Miss, are nara
lzyed. Damage to property is meal
culable. Supplies will be sent to Roll
Ing Fork and Leland as long as those
points can be reached. Besides the
six negroes who were drowned near
the Beulah break, it is believed that
others further inland have perished
No boats have as yet ventured more
than two miles distant, and it will be
some time before it is known if the
list is to be increased.
For the first time since the river
began its advance not a single point
except New ORLEANS reported an in
creased gauge at Z o'clock tonight
The rise at New Orleans, three-tenths
of foot, to 2O.2 feet, was probably
due to the back up OF the water he
fore a strong wind.
Beginning within the rc%t few days.
according to weather bureau fore
casts, another rise will be recorded at
V1cksburg and all points south when
the waters which are flowing through
Dog Tail and Beulah breaks return to
the Mississippi through the Red river.
The highest floods ever experienced in
the latter streams in Louisiana ave ex-
pected

Two Addresses.

On Friday evening Fred T. Cuthbert
of Devils Lake. addressed meeting of
voters at the city hall. The house was
comfortably filled and for an hour and
half the speaker lauded Roosevelt and
the great work he had accomplished
while president. Mr.. Cuthbert is q
very able attorney of Devils Lake and
made splendid address.
On Saturday afternoon another good
audience listened to Walter L. Houser,
who has charge of the national cam.
paign for Senator LaFollette. Mr..
Houser explained the incidents that
led up to the advent of Roosevelt E
candidacy, and his speech was listened
to with rapt attention.
The Times would go more fully into
the issues presented were it not fol
the fact that the campaign closed Mon.
day night, and the election is now over.
The band played prior to both ad.
dresses. 1t was its first appearance on
the streets. Leader Naylor has picked
a good bunch of players. and the raw
material that is being worked in is
already able to do cre1itable work.
Considering that the band has practicec
only several times, it made good i'm.

Alderman, Third Ward-J. D. Scott.
Police Magistrate-W. r. Whitver.
H. J. johnson was the nominee of

w. N. Bateman and j. A. Denning.
johnson was elected unanimously in
the First ward at Tuesdays election.
J. A. Dyer and M. Boardman con-
tested in the Second ward Saturday

date. He was the only candidate be-
fore the voters of that ward for alder

unanimously.
In the Third ward Geo. B. Phifer and
j. D. Scott were candidates for alder
man and the result after the voting
was oyer showed Phifer %, Scott SO.
w. R. Whitver won handily as police
magistrate. He did not start out until
Monday. He got his name or the
Second ward tickets and in the First
ward won the nomination at the caucus
over Kennedy and Gibbs. Tickets were
printed in the Third ward with the
names of Kennedy and Whitver on and
each there received 80 votes. It is
now Judge Whitver if you please.

and electors won out by safe majority
also. There was. some doubt as to this
early in the evening, but the general
majority is SO large that great many
errors could be made and the whole
ticket still be safe.
Campaign Of Education.
The campaign has been unusual; be-
cause of the great amount of speech
making that has been done on both
sides. 1t has been campaign of edu-
cation, and the result is conclusive
evidence that North Dakota has fully
established the wisdom of entrusting
the people with the right to decide who
they want for candidates from the
highest to the lowest office.
The Roosevelt Campaign.
The Roosevelt campaign Was backed
by unlimited funds, apparently. while
the Progressives trusted almost entirely
to the patriotic and voluntary work Of
LaFollette supporters, both within and
without the state. Many roorbacks
and deceptive circulars and pamphlets
were distributed broadcast over the
state in the last days 81 the campaign
The Oakes times. [volume] (Oakes, N.D.) 1906-current, 1912-03-21

any event, tHe extra iaOOr cApeuOeu
in preparing the land is not lost.
Fodder corn can Le successfully
grown in nearly all the tlllable portions
of the mountain states, and also in the
plains country where the elevation is
not more than 1000 feet above the
sea.
When corn may be thus grown. with
a rainfall averaging from say IA to l6
inches in year, it should be quite
possible to grow three crops in four
years. The order would be as follows:
Summer fallow; small grain (prefer-
ably winter wheat); corp or other culti-
waited crop; coming back to small grain
again. The three crops should be,
practically, sure regardless of the
character of the seasons. This system
would also keep the land free from
foul weeds as it would have one fallow
and one cultivated crop, that is, two
cleaning crops in the four years.
But there is one lack about this rota-
tion. 1t does not provide for reno
waiting crop. This, however, may be
readily introduced into the rotation.
The renovating crop will be alfalfa.
1t will enrich the soil and put humus
into it, and it will furnish hay. 1t
may be successfully grown where the
rainfall is IL inches and more, and
when the land is broken it will be in
an excellent condition mechanically for
growing several crops of grain.
When growing alfalfa. the ground
should be prepared by summer follow
ing or by growing cultivated crop.
1t should be manured literally with
farm yard manure before the summer
fallow or the cultivated crop as the
case may be. From the opening of the
following spring, the land should be
kept clean and dust mulch should be
maintained on it. The seed should be
sown with the drill late in May. Not
more than eight pounds per acre should
be sown and probably less amount
will answer. 1t should be buried two
inches or little less, according to the
soil. 1t should be narrowed with a
light harrow when about four inches
high. 1t should be sown alone and
clipped when about 10 inches high by
running the mower over it.
The crop should yield from one and
one-half to two tons to the acre each
year.
Small amounts of seed of all kinds
may be used lest there should be a
larger number of plants than the
moisture in the soil will maintain. The
grain crops should also be narrowed
from one to five times according to the
conditions after they have begun te
appear. One of the best times fol-
narrowing is when the grain is just
beginning to appear.

The vote was light. Not half vote
was out in most of the precincts. The
day was cold and windy, which had
quite an effect in cutting down the
country vote.
LaFollette is running ahead of the
electors and delegates, and Marshall is
leading LaFollette in the state. It is
thought that Marshall's lead in the
state will be 5000 over LaFollette's.

The State.

The State.
The Progressives Of North Dakota
have met their old-time enemies, the
Stalwarts, and defeated them in the
cleanest cut political battle the state
has ever seen.
It was not victory the Progressives
won, but a landslide, for they have un-
doubtedly carried all but four Of the
counties in the state, although later re-
turns may give Roosevelt some of the
smaller ones; but this is not considered
likely, as the missing farmer vote is
strongly for LaFollette.
Majority Close to 10000.
The returns received last night seem
to indicate that the Republicans Of the
state have declared that r. NJ. La
Toilette is their choice for president by
. majority close to 20, 600.

Small Democratic Vote.

Inasmuch as the greatest interest
centered in the LaFollette-R Roosevelt
fight few returns were sent in regard
ing the outcome of the vote on the
Democratic ticket and at this writing
it is not known who has won out in that
part for committeeman or delegates.
Of course Gov. Burke carried the state

LANDSLIDE FOR BOB
IN STATE PRIMARIES
Wisconsin Senator Sweeps Everything Before
Him Carrying State by at Least 10000

by the opposition to LaFollette, but
they seem to have been innocucis.
:. 1t is seldom voters have taken part
in campaign with as much enthusiasm
and energy as did LaFollette's sup
porters all over the state, and the way
the senator corralled the votes out on
the Missouri Slope was surprise to
everyone.
LaFollette Votes Pile Up.
While the table of majorities shown
is in some instances estimated
upon the basis of partial re-
turns from the counties, in every in
stance estimates of LaFollette strength
made early last night were exceeded
when later reports came in, so it is
pretty safe to figure that while the
majority will not fall below $4,000, it
may run above 10000.
