Make a Fit Seed Bed for
Wheat.

Make the seed bed fit for the
seed. Do not intern wheat
worth So or 81 a bushel for seed
purposes in a condition of soil
impossible for termination"
That precaution is urged by the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture on all farmers who con-
template sowing the high priced
seed of a high-priced food this
fall. To plant seed on poorly
prepared land not only wastes
the seed that does not germinate,
the specialists point out, but it
may mean the loss of an entire
investment if a paying stand is
not obtained.
A seed bed for wheat must be
firm, moist. and well compacted
beneath with a mellow, finely d.
vided upper three inches of soil,
the specialists advise. If wheat
is grown in rotation with oats or
after wheat, the stubble should
be pIowed to a depth Of at least
seven inches Immediately after
harvesting the preceding crop of
grain. The ground should be
narrowed within a few hours az
ter blowing and cultivation with
harrow, disk, drag, or roller
should be given as necessary
thereafter until planting time.
These operations are necessary
to kill weeds, to settle and make
firm the subsoil, and to maintain
a soil mulch on the surface. The

AS pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church of Valparaiso,
to which l have recently been
appointed, | am getting out over
these hills to see my people as
fast as | can, in search of my
members. l am strangely i'm
pressed while making these Wis.
its, with the extreme poverty of
the people. and to sec what dark,
dirty, dismal, dingy, Godforsak-
en-looking desolate holes that
many of these people live in.
The other day, after goingt through
one of these long, dark, dismal
passageways, searching for one
of these homes, suddenly | came
out into a stable. Il wish that |
had had my camera along with
me, so that l could have sent you
an illustrated letter of this pas
toral visit, and of that stable
with its one lonely mule nibbling
away at it's scanty bunch of
straw, and to show what kind of
places l go into, hunting people
on this mission fieId.) At first,
I thought that l must have made
a mistake, and that my guide he'd
misdirected me, but my guide
went on past me and the mule,
telling me to follow him, as he
began climbing a ladder to the
loft above, (the people living
there called that ladder a ''stair-
way"), and at the top of the lad
der came across a shivering
soap box, | did not think it very
strange to see an old soap box
shiyering, for it is cold enough
at this time of the year to make
an old box shiyer, for the first
thing that | do when [ get up in
the morning is to put on my ov-
ercoat, and even then shiver all
day, so one is not surprised to
see most anything shiver at this
time of the year, but on looking
on the inside Cf the affair l dis
covered a dirty, ragged, little
baby, kicking around for dear
life; the little fellow had to kick
to sustain life. 1t was a pity
that there was no soap left on
the inside of that box, for l could
have had exercise trying the vlr-
tues of what that box originally
contained to see if could change
the complexion of the little fel-
low, for if that soap had made
that dirty little piece of humani-
ty clean and white I might have
sent an illustrated letter of the
cleansing quality Of their pro-
duct to the manufacturers, to
help to pay for some of this mis-
sionary's visits oyer these hills.
On the other side of the parti,
| tion of that loft I found the dirty
baby's mother, in about the same
unclean, untidy condition as the
baby, and after having a talk
with the mother, trying to make
that end of the loft more cheer.
full than lad found it, and af.
ter partially succeeding, I hope
l went on through another parti.

There are about 1000, 900 ac-
res of land in the state of Neva-
da, of which Sc, 100000 are in
public ownership. That fact
leads Congressman E. E. Roberts
of that state to use his best en-
deavors to have adequate appro-
priations made by the federal
government for the qualification
of pests from the large cattle
ranges, and not leave such work
to be performed entirely by the
inhabitants of that section of the
country. One great source of
udLScE W Tic WESTERN 1dTtIler Is
the prevalence of rabies among
the coyotes. Many men haye
died as the result of bites from
that animal, and in one district
the school was closed because of
the danger to the children. Mr..
Roberts believes the government
owes it to the settlers to take i'm
mediate STEPS to remove the men,
ace which confronts them.

considered oursef missionary
and We never saw any good man from
Massachusetts, Oregon or Georgia
that we couldn't match with another
good man born on Florida soil.
Their is no doubt that Florida, fifty
years ago, was miserably poor. But
seventy years ago she was far ahead
of Kansas in civilization, prosperity
and progress, notwithstanding she
was just emerging from a war that
was a greater trial to her than any
that Kansas has ever been afflicted
with
Then came the great civil war, and
when it ended most of Florida's young
men were dead or crippled, most of
her valuable property was destroyed
and worst of all she was afflicted with
carpetbag government that was
more grievOus than any other gov
eminent at that time existing in a
civilized country. There were lots of
northern and western people here
then who set the negroes against the
white people, burdened the state with
debt, stole everything they could lay
their hands on and were finally driven
out in disgrace by combination of
decent northern and southern people.
Meantime, the republican majority in
Kansas did what it could to uphold
the carpetbaggers and when they
were overthrow denounced the white
people as traitors, and kept up that
denunciation until a comparatively
few years ago.
The republicans of Kansas knew
little of Florida in 1876, and Bloom
doesn't know much more about it
now.
We have always opposed sectional
ism; northern people and Union vet
Grams have been among our best
friends, and if we have an antipathy
to such men as Ingalls, it is because
they have tried to add to the burdens
of vanquished people who were
bravely trying to remedy their mis-
fortunes.

FLORIDA AND KANSAS

We like to stir up our friend Bloom
of the Lakeland Star. Altho he is
somewhat erratic he is somewhater
emphatic He fairly shouts at you
thru his paper, and if he uses a type
writer we'll bet it's in the garage for
repairs half the time. He reminds Us
of big, husky but earnest boy we
once knew who was always jumping
on somebody for not agreeing with
him; that is when he wasn't jumping
on somebody else he couldn't agree
with.
We got Bloom a-going the other
day about his beloved state of Kansas,
and before he stopped he had ma
chine-gunned two columns of type at
US. We would reproduce it if we had
space-it's mostly unconscious humor,
which is the best.
In the two columns Bloom abuses
US considerable, and brags on Kan
sas considerable more. Then he goes
on to tell what devil of fix Florida
would have been in if it hadn't been
for the enterprising people of Kansas
and other western and northern
states who came here and lifted or
benighted people out of their slough
Of despond.
Blooms personal abuse we pass. Tt
proceeds from his ignorance; if he is
ever personally acquainted with US,
we think he will be sorry; if he isn't,
it makes no difference.
We honor him for standing up for
his own state Next to the nation, a
man should stand up for his own
state. And Kansas is a fine state, too.
A great many good people live there.
We wonder if they didn't run Bloom
out We can't imagine man leaving
such fine country unless he had to-.
But his remarks about Florida are
in bad taste, untrue and ungenerous.
We think if he lives long enough he
will realize it.
Every gentleman and lady knows
that if you do a person or a COM
munity a service it's rotten taste to
brag about it. Also, if you confer a
benefit on others. it is ungenerous to
twit them with it. Then it is untrue.
We have a good many people here
from northern and western states,
and with few exceptions they have
been of great help. And, with few
reminded US of it. The reason is that
most of them were among the best
in their old homes, and brought their
virtues with them when they came.
The great bulk of the emigration to
Florida, however, has been from other
southern states. Georgia and the
Carolinas lead, Tennessee, Kentucky
and Alabama next These six states
have given US twice as many people
as all the rest of the Union put to-
gether, and largely predominant
among our leading business and pro-
fessional men.
We came here thirty years ago
from another state-one of the orig
inal thirteen, which was noted for its
soldiers and statesmen when Kansas
was an Indian hunting ground. Since
being here we have done what we
could to help upbuild the state. We
have done our best to encourage good
people from other states to come here
and to induce them to stay after they
came-and the evidence is at hand
that we have had considerable sue
cess. In this work we have not feat
ured such stuff as intimating (as
Bloom does) that the people of Flor
ida were leeches who used the people
of other states for bait. We never

The Times-Union argues ably
against the policy proposed of com
mercial and financial combination
against Germany after the country is
whipped. It MIGHT be as well to wait
till Germany is whipped before de-
batting the subject, but its our opin-
ion that when peace comes Germany
will be more use and less danger to
the world as a member of the fam
lily of nations than as pariah.

1t is conceded in Marion county,

taken the opposite position on all
those issued. He will accuse US of
voting for Cats next.

We wonder if it has ever occurred
to the county commissioners and to
the people living along the Blitchton
road that changing the road hun
dred yards or so in few places
would enable the road to be put in
good shape and kept that way at a
smaller cost? Some of that road is
laid on bad ground, tho much better
is short distance to the right or
left. A section of it was changed to
great advantage some years ago, and
we are sure others could be similarly
treated.

If you send some poetry to the
Star Office, and don't see it in print,
be sure the editor is your good friend
and doesn't want people to make fun
of you when they read it. Poetry is
like children-it looks mighty good
to its nanny or daddy; and unless it
is really good it looks bum to every
body else. An editor will generally
grab at any good poetry-if he
doesn't, its mighty good sign that
it had better stay out of print.
