Editor Argus:
Alter three months of extreme wet
weather, and cold below the normal. we
have had two weeks of mainly clear, dry
and warmer weather-which, though late.
is timely that the farmers finished cutting
their oats and grass and threshed their
grain.
While the corn crop needs warm, dry
weather to mature it for mt least three
weeks, yet the ground, being firmed 80
by the heavy showers, was getting too
hard to pillow, when a copious shower fell
during the afternoon and following night

the farmers who want to do fall blowing
In order to turn under the luxuriant
growth of weeds and grass. There is no
better fertilizer for this prairie land than
plenty of humus. With the plows used
now they can drag down the weeds and
grass with heavy chain attached to the
doubletree and turn 1t completely under.
which makes the best of corn land by
disking or cultivating the top Just before
planting.
The oats that has just recently been
moved and gathered like hay, has pro-
duced oats in much better condition than
that cut earlier and shocked. We had
another big shower this afternoon that
will mellow the ground tor blowing and
stop the process for day.

Machine Pssssd q Law Disfrsnehis
Ing Proaressives. ProhibitIonists,
and Socialists

AEhiA ALA, StpttnDer w..
Editor Argus:
Why Is 1t the newspapers have nothing
TO say about the Republican party pass
ing law at the last session of the legis-
lature that DISTINGUISHES every Progress
sive, Prohibitionist and Socialist? The
law is that unless political party has
cast five per cent OF the vote cast al the
previous election il cannot get its ticket
on the ballot. Obviously the intention
was to freeze out all political parties ex-
cept the Republican and Democratic.
In speaking with very prominent Re
publican who happened 10 be in town a
lew days ago, and one who is always
admitted within the inner circles OF his
party caucus and conference, he informed
me Che thought was still afIiliating with
the Republicans) that the principal reason
Tor enacting such law was to force the
Progressives back into the Republican
party where they belong" asked him
If the Republican party leaders consid.
cred that the best method to have erring
personally he did not, but il was the de-
cision OF the state leaders after a confer
ence that by passing a law by which the
Progresslves could not get their ticket on
the ballot 1T would compel them to vote
either the Republican or Democratic
ticket. II was the judgment OF the leaders
that when they were left no alternative
but to vote Tor one OF the old parties they
would vote the Republican ticket. |
asked him il he shared in such belief?
If he believed it was reason or common
sense to think that man whom Won
had disfranchiscd would vote for the
man or the party that deprived him of
voting for the candidate or party of his
choice. He admitted that IL would be
contrary to human nature to expect a
man to affiliate with party that had
taken away his liberty and virtually
made him II political serf, which does
when 1t compels him to vote for a party
that he had repudiated on account of its
corruption.
- s"S'S iOHIeSSlNt, ITOIlDltlOnlSt
or Socialist in the state of West Virginia
who has been disfranchised by the cor
rupt Republican party going to vote the
Republican ticket? Thrice, No! Vote
Tor the party that has taken our liberties
away from us? What do they think we
are? So many swine that can be driven
to the slaughter without even a grunt of
protest. They will learn differently
when the votes have been counted
find that few know OF this damnable
law that DISTINGUISHES all classes of voters
| except Republicans and Democrats. And
in this connection it is we'll to remind
Prestonians that Bias McCrum, Sam
Billings, Carl Pierce and Hen Glover
| helped to pass this damnable law tina,
deprives honest men OF the ballot TO vote
for their choice, and that Gov. Hatfield
approved it, PROGRESSIVE.

Preston Farmers Visit Morrantovu

beautifully and more than so farmers
visited the experiment station during
the afternoon. Another Preston dele

town.

showed the Prestonians over the ex-
pertinent station. The farmers showed
especial interest in the buckwheat ex-
priments and in the hog -pasture exper-
iments.
Unfortunately the rain prevented
the county agent from joining the par.
ty and inspecting silos on the way
over. Nevertheless much valuable in
formation was gained on the trip and

year hereafter
