It is the opinion of the writer, based
upon the available evidence from all
sources. that more careful experiment
ing must be done before this question
can be definitely settled. Up to the
present time the best results, taking
everything into consideration. have
been obtained with the acid phosphate.
Then. too, II has not yet been definite
ly proved that the beneficial results
from the use Of raw rock phosphate IL
due In every case to the phosphorfc
acid 1t contains. AS previously stated
raw rock phosphate contains, on an
average, % per cent phosphoric acid
and 33 per cent. lime and any reaction
taking place In the soil tending to
make available the phosphoric acid
win also make the lime available. In
many Of the experiments with rock
phosphate crops have been used which
are known to be usually benefited by
lime. and in such cases 1t is unfair.
in the writer's opinion, to attribute
the good results entirely to the phos-
phoric acid of the rock phosphate.
Then. too, the use of rock phosphate
under the most favorable conditions
calls for better methods Of farming
and this, of itself. is bound to increase
the yields.
In conclusion, the writer wishes to
impress upon the readers OF this ar
ticle that the results of other expe-
riments cannot be taken as applying
to their own conditions and that II
rock phosphate is used at all 1t should
be done in an experimental way, and
that 1t should be used on such crops
as corn, oats, wheat, clover, ETC., and
never upon crops like potatoes, sugar

The Roosevelt letter, which was dated
October 9, was kept private until Deem
Der 10, when it was read at an Edwards
rally in Charleston. Four Of the five men,
beers of the Kanawha county legislative
delegation attended this meeting, and the
fifth sent word he would vote for Ed
wards. The meeting was announced as
being under the auspices OF the business
men of the capital city. Anti-EdWardS
men say the Roosevelt letter was being
withheld to be sprung al the third party
meeting called for the day before the reg
ular opening of the legislature. but that
Dawson decided delay was dangerous. as
the progressives generally were not par
ticulary ardent for Edwards, and some
thing was necessary to tighten the pro-
gressive lines at this time, hence the word
from Teddy.
The other candidates are Davis Elkins.
Isaac Z. Mann, Emmett NJ. Showalter
and eX-Gov. A. B. White, but only the
first named two are waging aggressive
campaigns. 1t is said that Elkins had a
great many votes pledged to him up to
election day, but when 1t was seen the
republicans had regained the state, and
especially after Mann's candidacy was
announced, these pledges became more or
less uncertain. This is true of the fifth
congressional district, wheie Mann re-
sides.
E kins is making bid for the votes
from the northern counties on SeoSfapHl-
cal lines. He points out that with the
exception Of Secretary of State Reed
every elective state official comes from
the southern end of the state. He points
out that Gov.-e,ect Hatfield and Mann
come from adjoining counties and that

Resented by Elkins.

There are rumors that the Charleston
paper was purchased previous to the
election in the overwhelmingly at
the prospect of fight on his hands with
a democratic legislature. In this connec-
ton the support by Swisher of Mann is
resented by Ekins who asserts that he
made Swisher politically. EIkins is also
understood to resent the alleged friend

Eikins having given Hatfield substantial

STATE FAIR ADJUSTMENTS
More Elaborate Than Ever Before.
More Sensational and More
Instructive.

The finest and most expensive list
Of free attractions ever presented to
the West has been secured this veal
for the South Dakota State Fair, in
Guiding the great sensational areo-
plane meet and the new refined
vaudeville acts between races. Three
aeroplanes, one French monoplane,
and two biplanes, Wright and Cur
tiss types, will each give two daily
flights at the same time. Only ex.
positions OF a guaranteed high stand
ing can secure this costly attraction,
and it's appearance at the South Da-
kota State Fair is IN evidence of the
vast progress made by this institu-
ton.
Between races in front of the
grand stand will be presented a Sc
ries of the most exclusive and refin-
ed vaudeville acts ever shown in this
part of the country. The bill is
headed by the Marco Twins, said to
be the worlds greatest laughing hit.
This is their last appearance in
America, for they are booked to
open in Frankfort, Germany on Oct
ODER 1st. The Patterson troupe of
young lady aerialists is claimed to
be the highest priced aerial novelty
in the Hippodrome world. Bartelli
and Murphy as clown acrobats are
guaranteed to cure the worse case of
blues with their funny antics. Casey

sketch will undoubtedly prove to be
leaders among the favorites. Their
absurd burlesque on the baseball
catcher, pitcher and umpire has been
a great drawing card all over the
United States. Kalowinsky Brothers,

their first bow to an American pub
