DEEDS MORE THAN WORDS.

The Milwaukee Journal is everlast-
ingly right in taking Candidate Hughes
to task as follows
Mr.. Hughes talks about "a finer co :
operation, co operation that will put
labor and capital working together for
common good, a cooperation that
will make all the farmers in the land
feel that their great power and cOntri
button 10 our national life are appre-
ciated by the American people" This,
too, is nne. a man must be fool or a
knaye who does not echo that senti-
ment, but what does it mean? Mr..
Hughes can hardly be so lacking in a
sense OF humOr as not to realize that
every ward candidate says something
pretty about labor and every backwoods
congressman something about the
farmer. But are column of such
words worth as much as one workmen' s
compensation law or child labor law on
the statute books or one rural credits
act, not talked about merely, but
enacted?

RULES FOR TREE PLANTING !

Select the kind Of a tree that will
grow best in your location. Choose a
variety from those already thriving in
your vicinity.
A ten to twelve foot tree is consider
ed the best size for ordinary planting.
It should be free from scars and pests.
The trunk should be straight. and it
should have long leader.
When digging trees in the woods be
careful not to injure the roots, and Sc
cure as many of the fibrous ones as
possible. Nursery grown trees are
better because they have been trans
planted several times and have better
root systems.
Do not allow the roots to become
dry. Keep them moist and covered IN
til you are ready to put them in the
ground.
Ragged ends of broken roots should
be cut off with sharp knife.

HE EARN LOAN LAW.

The provisions of the federal farm
loan act, which was signed by Presi
dent Wilson and became law on July
II, are explained in three column ar
ticle which appears on page of this
paper. 1t will prove to be one of the
most important of the many good laws
which have been enacted since the
restoration of representative govern
ment in these United States.

Riuht Good Anpointmen ts.

William FL. Bastains, Union Advo-
cate, Sioux City: Frank R. Wilson,
who was owner of the Daily News, has
been named publicity agent of the new
rural credits board, at a salary of
81, 900. What would have been done in
making up this board were it not for
Sioux City? Only three of our worthy
citizens have so far been named to take
care of the farm credits. The appoint
ment of Mr.. Wilson is pleasing, for we
home folks know that he will make
good-as will also our fellow citizens,
Herbert Quick and Capt. w. S. A.
Smith.

IL. Then what happenedg To illus.

bill. Then what happened? To illus
trate:
Michigan and Massachusetts were
enabled to exploit the waterpowers of
Wisconsin. They purchased site on
the Chippewa River, near Chippewa
Falls Under the law they had to get
permit to dam the river and have
their property valued by the Railroad
Commission.
Under the new law they got the per-
NIT from the state for nothing. Their
physical properties were valued at cost,
but the right to dam the stream, which
the state gave them free was valued by
the Commission at $1,200,000. On this
vast sum plus the actual investment
the people for all time must pay a
reasonable profit to the owners of the
dam site. This is the way the present
administration saves money to the peo-
pie of Michigan and Massachusetts,
while the consumers of Wisconsin will
pay the tax in the way of increased
cost for light and power.

HUGHES TALKS TO WOMEN
Candidate Says Delay in Franchise
Breeds Danger.

Spokane, Aug. 15.-The Occur
d'Alene district of Idaho claimed the
attention of Charles E. Hughes Mo-
toring over to Occur d'Alene after an
automobile parade in Spokane, where
he and Mrs. Hughes spent Sunday, the
Republican presidential nominee ad-
dressed a big meeting of miners.
Returning to Spokane, Mr.. Hughes
addressed a meeting composed exclu-
sively of women. He said his attitude
toward suffrage was in some ways
original. He believed in it, first, be-
cause it was right and also because
every delay in granting the vote to
women breeds danger. The shortest
cut should be taken, he declared, be-
cause sex bitterness and sex antagon-
ism are one of the worst menaces the
nation can face. After an address to
the general public early in the evening
Mr.. Hughes left at 8:45 p. m. for
Tacoma.

CROPS THAT ROB THE FARM.
Farmer Must Manage to Restore Fer

Farmer Must Manage to Restore Fer
tlity THAI Has Been Exhausted.
Prepared by United States department Of
agricultural
1t is estimated that every ton of cow
pea hay taken from the farm the
manure of which is not returned to the
soil robs it of $7.96 worth of fertility
if bought in the form of commercial
fertilizer; a ton of cotton seed, $3.50;
an acre Of corn producing fifty BUSH
els, both stalk and grain, 1856; the
grain alone, 1896; an acre Of oats pro-
ducing thirty-fve bushels removes in
the entire crop S11.33 and S4.72 for the
grain alone.
In many cases exhaustion of the soil
by cropping has gone on until the farm
responds reluctantly to the many
drafts made upon it. The farmer must
manage to restore this fertility. No
better method of doing this can be
found than to keep enough stock on
the farm to utilize the pasturage OF
idle lands and much OF the surplus
grain and forage produced. The stock
should be kept under sheds and in sta
bles when possible and an abundance
Of bedding furnished to absorb the
LIQUIDS as we'll as to add to the bulk OF
the manure heap.
The roots and stubble Of crops al
WAYS restore something to the soil.
With such crops as clover, cOwpeas or
beans approximately 80 per cent OF the
manurial value of the crop is kept IN
the soil. When such crops are har-
vested for hay and fed to good farm
stock and the manure is returned to
the land 50 to so per cent Of the entire
fertilizing value is kept on the farm.
At the same time the full feeding
value Is obtained.
Farm manure should be handled
with great care. 1t should never be
left in the open yard or piled IN the
field for any length of time, as mucn
of it's plant food will be leached out.
Neither should it be stored loose I'M
der sheds, but it should be packed
down and kept wet enough to prevent
heating, which would drive off nitro
gen. This tremendous loss from i'm
proper handling explains why farmers
find it necessary to use such large
quantities of manure to derive much
benefit from it, It will be observed
that even when manure is stored in a
shed there is loss. By covering the
manure heap with substances like Or
binary loan, sawdust or wheat straw
much loss may be prevented and the
stack Of manure greatly increased.
Loan will absorb about thirteen
pounds of nitrogen per ton OF 1000
pounds, sawdust about eight pounds
and wheat straw nearly four pounds.

London, Aug. 15.-Violent counter
night enabled the Germans to occupy
temporarily some of the trenches
which the British had captured on
Sunday.
The German success was admitted
in the official statement issued by the
war office.
On the remainder of the front, the
report says there have been no i'm
portant developments.
Paris reports fighting and progress
on both banks of the Meuse in the
sector of Verdun during the night,
while on the Somme front the French
extended their positions.
North of the Somme river, says the
French war office in it's official COM
murique, there was violent cannon
ade South of the river the French
enlarged their positions.
Germans Force Fighting.
On the Verdun front the fighting
was forced by the Germans. French
positions in the region of Hill No. 3O4,
west of the Mouse, and at Fleury, east
of the river, were vigorously attacked
by the troops Of the German Crown
Prince, but all the assaults were re-
pulsed.
English troops that penetrated Ger
man trenches northwest of PoZieres
have been driven out, the German war
-fice announced. Attacks against the
German position at GuillemOnt were
repulsed.
Italians Hold Carso Front.
Rome, Aug. 15.-Italian troops con-
tinued pressing the Austrians back on
the Carso plateau and east Of Hill 212

Although badly defeated at Goritz still

The undue concern expressed in
many quarters over possible flood of
cheap foreign goods after the close Of
the great world war shows to the Dem
ocrat that public opinion is somewhat
dwarfed and perverted by a long and
false propaganda on the part of the
benefciaries of high tariff taxation.
The much dreaded food may
never come; and certainly this great
people will not buy goods except of their
own free will. But shipping the pro-
ducts Of American farms, mines, and
factories, to the dearest and most adj
vantageous markets of the world is
now, and will be after the war, far and
away the most important politico- econ
omic question for consideration by
american statesmen.
