Republicans Gain.

Charles B. Cheney, political writer
of the Minneapolis Journal, finds in
reviewing the primary vote that the
heaviest returns of Democrats vot-
ing in the Republican primaries
come from Stearns and Benton coun-
ties. Scott county, the strongest
Democratic county in the state, did
not cast much more han the normal
Republican vote on June Is. How
ever, in all three counties the con-
trast is marked between the Repub-
lican vote, in the primaries two
years ago, and this year. Compar-
ison Of the primary vote of 1912
with the Republican vote at the gen
eral election that year shows that in
these counties Republicans voting
the Democratic ticket in the past.
The nonpartizan law worked big
change, because in any county the
voter can take hand in local NOM
nations and still vote any party
ticket he wants to. This year the
Democratic vote increased in the Re-
publican counties, and the Republic
an counties, and the Republican vote
grew in Democratic counties. It is
very evident that the Republicans
in these counties came back to their
own primaries, but it is also plain
that at least 800 Democrats in Ben
ton and 900 in Stearns must have
voted the Republican primary ticket
this year for the first time.

Farmers, Be On the Safe Side.

One of the experimental stations,
where experience has demonstrated
the wisdom of practicing the advice
offered, has made the following sug-
gestion: Pillow your idle land ana
save moisture for next year. 1t you
have any land which you planned to
leave idle during the remainder OF
the season, plow it. Plow it now
while there is an abundance Of mois-
ture in the soil. Do not allow it
to grow up in weeds. They use as
much moisture and plant food as do
grains Which do you prefer, good
crop of weeds this year or a good
crop of wheat next year? An old
proverb says: ''In times of peace pre-
pare for war; The dry farmers
proverb should be: Gin times of plen-
tyful rains, prepare for drought. !"
Many will remember that 1909 was
bumper crop year. In 1910 with
a shortage of rainfall, less than half
a crop was harvested. Next year
may be another 1910, but it always
pays to have some land which may
be depended upon to produce what
might be termed an insurance crop.
There is insurance against hail, but
none against drought The wise
farmer provides his own insurance
by blowing his idle land during a
year like this.
