THE SEED BED FOR CORN
There is Profit in the Frequent use of
Disk and Harrow

The preparation Of land for the COM
ing corn crop should receive special
attention. There is an absolute GER
tainty that large amount of weak
seed is going to be used this year, and
every possible assistance should be
given to promote its generation, prin-
cipally in the preparation of the seed
bed.
readily, it must have small amount
of air, some moisture, and sufficient
warmth. The proper combination Of
these conditions is best obtained in a
we'll worked, mellow seed-bed. Such
preparation of the seed-bed not only
conserves soil-moisture and destroys
weeds, but it also warns the soil to an
appreciable extent. A frequent use of
the harrow and the disk, previous to
planting time, not only prepares the
seed-bed in the various ways men,
| toned, but every one of the operations
may justly be called cultivation of
the growing crop, even though the seed
is still implanted.
; In the case of spring blowing, the
reaped use Of the harrow may put
the surface in excellent condition, and
still leave the bottom of the furrow.
slice in poorly prepared condition
It is much better to continue the work
ing of spring blowing with the harrow
and the disk, as this additional work
has tendency to compact the furrov
slice and improves the conditions Of
growth. By all means properly pre-
pare the seed bed for this year $ corr

tically settled within a week. The
widely divergent claims of Taft and
Roosevelt managers make it apparent,
however, that a determination Of the
actual control Of the. convention Ia
impossible in advance Of the meeting
Of the national committee June s. The
committee will take up at that time
contests involving tho seats of at least
164 delegates and it is not unlikely
that additional contest cases will be
announced by the time the committee
begins work.
Up to the present 7s6 of the 1918
delegates to Chicago have been chos-
en-, according to Roosevelt estimates.
while the Taft forces record twenty
less. The differences arise over Mary

the control of sixteen delegates will
not be cleared until the state conven-
ton, and Kansas. where the Roose.
velt records show fourteen have been
chosen and the Taft records ten.
Representative Mckinley, head Of
the Taft campaign, claimed 4S3 dele
&ates for the president, and conceded

oyer for Colonel Roosevelt, claimed
3l9 for Roosevelt and conceded 143 to

The republican county convention
Monday was entirely controlled by the
Roosevelt followers. There were num-
Der Of Taft delegates but they had no
say in the proceedings. One thing the
convention did do, however, that is
certainly far away from a harmony
sreeeeding, was the passing Of motion
to the effect that "the delegation be
instructed to do everything in their
power to prevent the nomination of
President Taft This Is considered an
unnecessary proceeding by the Taft
followers, as the resolutions would in
struct for Roosevelt, which in a diff
ferent manner arrived at the same idea.
It, however, shows the little regard in
which President Taft, elected as a re-
publican is held by the greater part Of
The party in this county. The same
views, however, are largely held Of
Roosevelt by the Taft followers. A
number of the delegates hoped that the
Chicago convention would finally
nominate someone other than Taft or
Roosevelt, as they did not believe either
could win in the election. In fact some
stated that they were inclined to vote
against either one if nominated,
especially if Wilson was the demo
'cratic. nominee.

 Astonishing Is the ignorance 0 nature shown by these little pale, lean slum dwellers. One child, whose knowledge of trees and grass and flowers was derived from the early closing city parks, said as she gazed with delight on a green rural scene:
 What time does the' country shut up?'
 Another child watched farmland digging potatoes and said:
 <" Is this where you keep your pota- toes, sir? I should think 1t would be handler to keep them in bags in the cellar
 And 1 know of third child to whom farmer offered superb, ripe peach.
 Let me pluck this peach for you right of the tree,' he said.
 But the child, little girl, turned up her nose and answered loftily:
 No, thank you. I never eat them till they're canned '"-Exchange.

NOMINEES SLOW
 10 FORWARD FEES

Little Rock, Oct 4.-Messrs. Floyd and Taylor are the only nominees who have yet paid the secretary of state the necessary fee to have their names certified out for the congressional election. The time for them and the presidential electors expires 20 days before the election. The fees for cleo tors is $37.50 each, and for congress- men S10 per county.
 Secretary of State Hodges an- nounces also that there seems to be frequent misunderstanding about fees for commissions. District officers are required to pay $15, sheriff and county and circuit clerks $10 each, county judge and assessor $2 each, and all other county officers and jus tices of the peace $1 each. No com missions are issued by the secretary to constable and road overseer, who derive their authority from the coun- ty judge.
