POINTS FOR THE SOUTHERN GARDINER.


Tie gardener in the South
may we'll remember certain
important facts which are sum-
mel ~ i'll the United States
Department Of Agriculture's
new Farmers Bulletin (No.
647) entitled "The Home
Carmen In The South. " They
are as follows:
l. In nearly all sections
of the South there is a search
ty Of fresh vegetables dnring
a large part Of the year.
2. A well-kept garden
will Yield a return eight to
ten times as great as that from
an equal area devoted to cot
ton or to other general farm
crops.
3. The value of vegeta-
bles in the diet is great deal
more than the mere food or
money value, as they furnish |
a large part of the essential
salts which are necessary TO
the well being of the human
system.
4. The location selected
for the garden should be as
near the house as possible.
Practically any type of soil
can be used for vegetables
but a sandy loan is to be pre-
ferred.
5. Good drainage is of
prime Importance. If the land
has not good natural drain
age, artificial drainage should
be employed.
E. Where cultivation is to
be done by means of horse
tools the garden should be
long and narrow, with the
rows running the long way of 5
the garden. I

RECORDS

Bank deposits ere growing so
rapidly in South Dakota that all re-
cords will likely be broken when the
crops and products of 1915 are turn
ed into cash. AS stated before, a
considerable amount of the wheat
crop of this locality has not vet been
sold but stored awaiting higher
prices. Notwithstanding this, the
banks of Miller show IN their official
statements published in this paper
last week deposits of over half u
million.
Banks throughout The state have
also finished their financial state
ments following the call Of two
weeks ago. This call shows a con.
dltion of prosperity all over the state
never before reached. Bank depos-
its in general are considerably larger
than on any previous call.

DRY FOOD INJURIES
THE DAIRY COWS

1T saps the lift and vigor out of a
dairy COW to allow her to run down
the winter on account of
lack of plenty of succulent foods"
says c. Larsen, professor of dairy
husbandry at the South Dakota
State College. Suppose the winter
season we're to continue, the COW
would soon die. Many cows will
lose two hundred pounds OF weight
during six or eight months winter.
"Succulint food, such as silage.
cause the cow to come through the
winter in good condition. Feeding
silage is a cheap method of keeping
especially on small farms
where the owner is anxious to util-
ize economically all food products"

SOME PRICES PAID
FOR PUBLICITY
Sl2 900 for One Big Adv. I'm a
Single Issue

The Curtis Publishing Co., an
nounces a new schedule of advertis-
ing prices for their Saturday Even
ing Post and Ladies Home Journal.
The post will charge So per line.
$1,000 for n full page, $1,000 for
the front cover, and Sl2, 900 for the
two center pages in two colors one
time. These two center pages haye
been used by the Overland Auto Co..
by Wrigley's Gum. by National
Register and such houses. The La
dies Home Journal prices are about
the same.
The inexperienced may well ask
do they really get these prices?"
They certainly do. and they carry
about all the advertising they want
in either publication. They ask and
get these prices based upon circuia-
ton. Any person who stops to
think a moment knows that an adj
vertisement placed in the hands of
one million readers is worth more
than one placed in the hands of half
that number. And again the class
of readers and class of the publica-
ton itself is worth considerable.
The man who has a good article
to sell wants to reach the best GUS
toners who have money to buy.
He is willing to pay a big price to
get the results he wants. OF course
he would not do such things unless
his experience and knowledge told
him it was necessary and profitable.
He knows. also, that a man cannot
secretly or silently slip into or ION
tinue a successful business. He
must have publicity. If he is wise
he gets the best.

Gently estimated and the shipments
were 90 cars, or an average of over
81 ears for each working day during
the month.
The cars in use will average from
400 to 1900 bushels, which gives a
shipment of over 100 900 bushels,
exceeding any record established at
this market.
This grain consists Of wheat. oats,

the largest bulk. The average price
of wheat during the month is placed
at sc cents per bushel by grain men.

&C cts per 100 lbs. Perhaps a fair
division of this grain would be
about 80, 900 bushels of wheat and
40, 600 bushels of feed grain, which
at the average price would bring the
farmers about $S5, 600 for t h e
months marketing.
1t is expected that the total re-
ceipts of grain at the Miller market
for the present years crop will
easily reach 500, 900 bushels.

PRESIDENTIAL
POSSIBILITIES
Party Men Begin Shaping Up For
1910 Contest

The politicians have begun to feel
the public pulse upon the question
of the next campaign for president.
AS far as the democrats are con-
cerned, 1t is a foregone conclusion
that President Wilson will be re-
nominated, with or without the
support of Colonel Bryan and his
friends. As this side of the con-
test is practically settled. all there
remains for them TO do is to have
the Presidents elaborate news bu-
reau located at Washington dis
seminate the properly inspired
news" favorable to the democrats
and confusing to the republicans
and they are doing a fairly good job
at l..
On the republican side there are a
host of ambitious men. many Of
them veil qualified, too. But re-
publicans are now on the defensive.
They must select a mar approved by
the public, who has been in the
limelight, and above all, who is well
located. In fact, he must fit the
psychological moment of bringing to-
gether the disrupted republican
voters.
Supreme Court Justice Charles
Hughes, former governor of New
York, is one logical man for re
publicans to nominate as their candi-
date for president, because he was
practically out Of factlonal contest
of 1912, and because no one cues
tons his ability.
There is one point of opposition
that is, above the surface. Judge
Hughes, himself, opposes the use
of his name for the nomination.
His friends believe he is sincere.
His opponents are making much of
laying him on the shelf. because of
his defamation. and because they
would be pleased to have it that
way.
IL the republican masses take it
into their own hands and nominate
Hughes the next President will be a
republican. No man is big enough
to refuse his party's call to the high
est Office in the land.
Of purse the republicans have
other men qualified for this great
office. but they do not quite fit into
the time and place just no as does
Judge Hughes.
That progressive talk of Roose-
welt and Johnson being nominated
again on a third ticket is probably
just serving notice that the repub
lican party leaders must be reason.
ably progressive in candidate and
platform if they wish to avoid
another party split.
As there is no republican candi-
date in sight who towers over all
others. it may be possible to go up
to the national convention with the
choice of delegates so divided that
Justice Hughes could be drafted
to take a practically unanimous
nomination.
The South Dakota delegation can
best serve party interests by not
tielDg up with anv candidate till the
convention day arrives.
In the meantime the various plays,
the sparring for position. the in
spired specials from Washington,
the political headquarters, about
this or that candidate is entertain

PROMOTION COMMITTEE
ON ECONOMY POLICY

If Carl Nieper will work for SIS a
month, the Promotion Committee will
authorize his appointment as assistant
to H. p Wood, Hawaii resident expo
sitfon commission in San Francisco.
This action was taken at meeting OF
the committee yesterday Nieper now
is in San Francisco and presumably
has been assisting Mr.. Wood during
the past month.
/. The committee aimed at further re-
trenchment when it inquired into the
salaries and working hours of the pres
ent employees of the, committee. 1t
was the opinion of several of the mem
beers that the employees work each Sat
urday afternoon instead of enjoying a
halliday of leisure and also be pres
ent ;insthe office on evenings when
steamers are in port. A proposition
submitted by, Wade Warren Thayer,
territorial secretary, to appropriate
$50, 900 for an exhibit at the San Diego
fair, was not favored. 1t was the opin-
ion of the committee that this amount
of money could be better expended in
the proposed visit of congressman to
Hawaii.
