Gratifying Results
Follow a Little
Cleaning Up

~ITIES and towns throughout the
u country will soon have season
OF general renovation by indi-
vfduals. The years accumulation OF
rubbish is TO be gathered up and set
out ready for the municipal collectors.
Yards are to be put in order. houses
and outbuildings are TO be painted,
fences and sheds TO be repaired, vacant
lots to be cleared of weeds and every
thing to be made spick and span, fresh
and wholesome and altogether delight
full
That is TO say. all this will be done
II every householder does what is ex.
pected Of him by the cleaning up and
paint up committees which are con-
Quoting the campaign.
And why should 1t not be donef The
expense for each home will not be
great. the labor need not be hard, and
the result will be something for all of
us to enjoy and perhaps to brag about.
For a clean city or town IL eminently
desirable, not so much because Of its
greater attractions, although that alone
is worth all the effort, but because OF
its increased healthfulness. Dirt breeds
disease, and cleanliness is the first
principle Of sanitation.
So let us all join and make our town
shine like boys face after the mater.
nal scrub. Let us dig down into the
dark corners OF our easements and
closets, throw out all the old rags
and papers. wash the fly screens and
get them in place. get busy with the
paint brush and the pruning knife and
the lawn mower and then the result
will be gratifying.

Cultivation.


Unless the land should become
run together" by too much rain il
is best to cultivate as shallow rs pos
sible. Three inches is deep enough.
Shallow cultivation is less wasteful
of moisture, and il allows the roots
of the crop TO feed nearer the sur
face. Cultivation should in some
cases be started before the ccrn is
mp, if the rows can be followed. In
this way many weeds will be killed,
and the first cultivation of the crop
can be delayed few days.
All cultivation should be done with
a tool having as many feet or teeth
as possible, so as TO stir the surface
thoroughly. Either the ii-tooth har-
row or the spring tooth cultivator is
good. For very rough and story
land something stronger like tho l.
footed pillow (made like a double
shovel should be used. A double
shovel or a single pillow will not do
good work, for the cultivation must
be shallow whatever tool is used, and
such tools as the double shovel can
not be made to do any work unless
they run deeper than is good for the
corn crop.
Cultivation should be done every
eight or ten days. Make it a rule to
cultivate as soon as the soil is dry
enough after every rain. Continue
until the corn shades the
soil all over the field. or until silk
ing time. II the soil becomes too
light and dry, and the corn blades
begin to curl as in drought, it may
be well to pack the soil with a heavy
stone or moving machine wheel,
just before cultivating. Then follow
with the pillow or harrow to loosen
the surface to depth of about three
inches.
With best wishes for success in
your farm work.

vesting corn later.

Henry l. Alien, Progressive leader OF
Kansas, brought word to RepuDi'ca"
national headquarters yesterday that
there was no Republican hard iuch
in his state. Mr.. Allen was one OF the
floor leaders for Colonel Roosevelt IN
the Republican National Convention OF
1912. He said Kansas would be over
uhelmingly for Hughes, and included
Nebraska. Indiana, Missouri and prob
ably Wisconsin among the states wnere
be had closely observed conditions and
predicted Republican majorities.
The recent reception OF PRESIDENT
Wilson in Omaha had been purely non
partisan, he said. Another factor
which counted for the Republicans IN
that state was that William J. Bryan
was making no campaign because OF
his personal enmity to Gilbert M.
Hitchcock, the Democrat renomina'eo
for United States Senator.
Ninety-eight per cent OF the rIo-
gressives were back in the Kepupilcah
fold in these states, Mr.. Allen said.
TIE enrolment of the Hughes AIN,
ancA in New York State has reached
the 100 900 mark. Harold G. Aron'
secretary of the alliance, declared yes
terdsv that this WAS the largest en-
rolment ever obtained by a non-par-
tisan movement. The alliance has
established branches in fifty-six OF the
sixty.two counties.
The announcement at Democratic ma
tional headquarters that the indians
~ the Carlisle school were on the war
nsth for Wilson, inspired the following
from the Hughes National College
League: - .r. ,ho
