IOWA HAS GUBERNATORIAL
FIGHT AT POLLS TODAY

Des Moines, a., June 5.-IoWa vo-
ters are at the polls today at the state
wide primary for state, congressional
and judicial nominations. A heavy
vote is being cast, particularly among
republicans because of the three-cor-
nered fight for the gubernatorial
nomination.
The Democrats want E. T. Mere
dith for governor and the Socialists
J. w. Bennett. There is merry war
on in the Republican camp. Attor-
ney General George Cosson and State
Senator Joseph H. Allen are dry cam
didates, with Lieutenant Governor w.
l.. Harding rather damp. Carl F.
Kuehnle of Denison, once partner
of former Governor Leslie M. Shaw,
is the fourth candidate.
"Votes for women" is dividing at
tention at the polls. Although it is
a primary election, the last legisla-
ture, for the second time passing the
suffrage amendment, forced vote on
suffrage today, and if the women
win, they will have a chance to. cast
their ballots for the presidential
nominee next November, as well as
for state and county offices.
Today's battle is the climax of a
long fight for equal rights. In 1882
the suffrage amendment passed the
legislature but failed in the next ses-
sion.

FERN WEEDS IN PASTURES.
Detriment to Grazing Of Live stoc
and Should Be Controlled.

Detrinnent to Grazing Of Live Stock
and Should Be Controlled.
Prepared by United States department of
agricultural 4
The presence of the hay scented fern
and the brake fern in pastures in the
eastern United States is serious det
riment to the grazing Of live stock
which is prominent feature in farm
ing in that section, The department of
agriculture recommends the following
means of reducing these pasture vast
ing pests: -.- .-
Gut the fern with scythe in the
middle of June just as the spores are
beginning to mature and repeat the
cutting about the middle of August,
before the second crop Of spores has
chance to spread. AS soon as the cut
ferns are dry burn them over to lessen
the vitality of the root stocks.
After the cutting and burning the
land can be seeded with pasture grass
and clover. A better stand Will be OBJ
tanned If lime or lime and fertilizer are
applied in addition to the seed.
A second method is to spray the fern
growth with salt and water distributed
with hand bucket pump or KNAPP
sack sprayer. When the field is so To-
Gated that water for spraying is not
easily accessible the cutting is prob
ably easier. With ferns OF an average
degree of thickness, man with
knapsack sprayer ought to cover about
five acres a day. The salt is used at
the rate of one pound to about one and
one-half quarts of water, and $50
pounds Of salt ought to be enough to
spray the average acre infested with
ferns, which seldom cover more than
one-third Of the ground. If five acres
are covered per day, with labor at
$3.50, the total cost of spraying is
about $1.O5 per acre for each applica
ton, exclusive of the cost of hauling.
Two sprayings a year, just previous
to sporting, about the middle of June
and the middle of August, are neces
sary. Burn over as soon as they have
dried up. AS the use of the salt spray
is something of a detriment to the
growth of young clover, efforts to en-
courage clover to work into the patches
and help choke them down should be
deferred until after the August spray
ing.
After the ferns have been reduced to
a minimum the specific treatments
may be discontinued, at least until they
again become troublesome. 1t is prob
ably not practicable to entirely eradi-
cate ferns. The immediate reduction.
of the number Of ferns, however, will
give the grass and clover opportunity
to work in, and this in itself will tend
to hold the ferns in check. Cultivation,
on the other hand, where tried seems
not to be effective, as the ferns work
in again sooner or later even where
the patch is used for potato growing
for year.
The actual experiments we're made
with the hay scented fern, but the re-
suits are believed to be fully as ef-
fective in the treatment of the brake
in the eastern states.

Spring Apple Spraying.


AS d result Of the field experiments
in spraying apple orchards the Uni

summer application be made after the
cluster buds open, as soon as the in
dividual flower buds spread apart, but
before the flower buds themselves
open. Spraying may be continued un-
til the petals have commenced to sep
arate, but should be discontinued as
soon as the stamens and pistils Of the
flowers are exposed. This spray is
for the apple scab and to kill the vari

PREPAREDNESS AND THEN

In a letter dated June 1, Frank B.
Kellogg said, IL shall discuss as far
as possible the grave questions now
confronting the American people and
advocate the principles Of prepared
emergency" Unless we are greatly
mistaken the majority of the people
of Minnesota are as well informed on

They know that this present Con-
gress has passed an Army bill, the
Chamberlain-Hay Bill, which brings
the total strength of our land forces
up to more than one million men,
within the next five years. They know
that President Wilson has very re-
Gently asked the country to be patient
and bear with the additional taxation
that will be imposed upon the people
to establish, equip and maintain this
vast increase of land forces. They
know that the President of the United
States in the event of threatened in
vasion is authorized to increase the
force provided for in the Chamberlain
Hay Bill to an unlimited number OF
volunteers. They know that the Am
erican Navy is to be expanded and
extended to a degree beyond the ex-
pectation of majority Of the Naval
League itself. They know that there
is now under way, in every commun-
ity a detailed and specific plan of Or
ganization for surveying the indus
trial and commercial possibilities Of
the United States, and knowing Ill

people are VIGOROUSLY tickle in their
allegiance. The fault of the partisan
newspaper is not in the fact that it's
editorial columns give undivided sup
port to political party, but in the
fact that often it's news matter is col
ored to suit the political label that the
paper bears. We are all familiar with
the newspaper that the morning after
won when the returns finally disclose
about $4,000 votes. We still have that
kind of a newspaper even in Okla
homa. The newspaper that does such
a thing loses more prestige in day
than it can regain in year: 1t may
gain favor for day with the political
manager who persuaded the editor to
run his dope, but it will finally lose
caste with him, for the party chair
man will soon class this editor as too
easy a mark to be worthy of consid-
Grafton.
The editor of an Independent news
paper is free moral agent. He
doesn't have to sneeze every time the
state chairman has an attack Of in
fluenza. The partisan newspaper is
supposed to give space to the county
or state politics of it's party. The
editor of the partisan sheet is sup
posed to put the ticket at the head
of the editorial page even though a
half dozen of the candidates are three
years in arrears on the subscription
books. A Republican dry goods mer
chant doesn't give two bolts of calico
to the good of the Republican party
He gives what cash he feels he can
give to the support of the party, and
he gets credit for the same. The
editor of the partisan newspaper gives
his columns, the thing that is his stock
in trade, and gets no credit for It
The sorriest newspaper in the world
is the newspaper filed with press dope
from an Oklahoma City or Washing
ton bureau when the editor might be
giving the local news of his commun
ity or town. The editor of an indie
pendent newspaper can belong to a
political party. He can give of his
time and money to the support of thai
party, but he can exercise his Goo
given right Of scratching the ticket il
candidate doesn't measure up to the
right standard. He can be as bitter {
partisan personally as he desires, bu
he can adhere strictly to the safe bus
mess rule of not mixing politics with
his business.-J. w. Kayser, of thu

Victor Murdoch suggests that there
may yet be another national ticket in
the field, if friction should develop at
St. Louis. He thinks ticket headed
by Bryan and Ford would complicate
matters somewhat. If the Democrats
are wise they will put the soft pedal
on the issue raised by the interests
and announce their faith in the un-
doubted loyalty of all classes of AM
orleans. 1t is just as important for
the success of the Democratic ticket
that Bryan and his followers are CIV

souled support to the platform and

to bid for the support of the belliger-

names listed have been hazarded, and
a number of them will vote for the
different candidates for U. S. Senator.
One of them is the local manager for

stance to prove that the so-called Kel-
logg boom is largely artificial. 1t is,
of course, backed up with ample
funds, and with money galore at COM

deavored to accomplish something
substantial. But everything indicates
that he will be third man in the race,
