Cabbage diseases which have been
known to destroy practically entire
crops are preyentable in the main by
simple methods Of plant sanitation.
Crop rotation is one of the chief foes
of these diseases. Rotations should be
practiced, avoiding crops which belong
to the cabbage family. such as cauli-
flower. turnipS Brussels sprouts. and
kale. Keep down mustard and weeds
which harbor cabbage pests. Drainage
water and refuse from diseased cab
bage fields may carry infection, as will
stable manure with which diseased ma
terial has been mingled. The seed bed
IS often source Of infection. and the
greatest pains, therefore, should be
taken to insure healthy plants Locate
the seed he'd on new ground If pos
Sible. or sterlize by steam the soil that
is used. Disinfect all cabbage seed be-
fore planting to prevent black-rot and

free use of lime and by setting healthy
plants.

TO OUR FRIENDS

There is an old saying that a person
eventually returns to his first love, so
far as his business or profession is
concerned, if not in other matters, and
so it is with the undersigned. For
about eleven months, the new editor
of the Times-Record has laid down the
editorial quill and has had no active
part in newspaper work, taking this
needed rest, now we have listened to
the call of the printshop with all its
conglomeration Of smells of ink, limo
type metal, etc., and more than ever
to the lure of the editorial tripod, and
so taking the first day of April as a
guide to rule our faith, we have pur-
chased from Mr.. Greenwood the news
paper and job printing plant and
again taken up the burdens of a white
man. We realize at the start that
we have undertaken no small task,
and do not intend to think for one
minute that daily paper can be made
a success in Valley City without the
help and support of the people and
the business men themselves. Coop
GRAFTON and harmony are necessity
between the publisher and the bust
ness men of any community and it
will be my effort to so work to pro-
mote this kind of a feeling. 1t is not
my intention here to say what sort of
paper l am going to build and make
a lot Of promises that cannot per-
haps be fulfilled, the only promise /
will make is that if the business men
will get behind the daily and give it
enough support in the way of adver-
Using, ETC., we will improve the pa
per as our means will permit. Polit-
ically we are Republican, but not Of
the hide bound variety. We have in
the past supported Democrats who
have been better than the Republican
candidate, and we shall continue to
do that in the future. We also have
kindly feeling for many old Demo-
cratic friends, whom we shall feel
free to support as they come before
the public if we so desire. We have
no axes to grind, no enemies to pun
ish, and all we ask is that we can live
here and take a part in the develop
ment of our city and county, working
all the time to give the best we know
how to win the support of the peo-
pie. We want to work in harmony
with our brethren of the city press
and will try and give one and all
courteous treatment, so with this
statement we have shed our coat,
thrown the old machine into high gear,
and if work and endeavor will win
out we are going "over the top" in
good shape. Drop around to the shop,
tell us the news, visit and get ac-
quainted and let's work for a bigger
and better Valley City.
Sincerely,
PR. TRUBSHAW.

Among others who lost their "head"
at the .Nonpartisan convention at Far
go last week, was Hon. A. T. Kraabel,
our conscientious and minded
lieutenant governor. No man who re-
fuses to wear the yoke of political
serfdom can get the approval of those
who guide the destinies of the league
hence Mr.. Kraabel's picture was turn
ed to the wall. We are sorry. The
gentleman is one of those sturdy, fair
minded men who can look beyond the
skyline of selfishness and obedience
to boss dictation, and does what in his
own opinion is right. He has made
mistakes, perhaps, but in the main he
has been a safe and fair minded man
and deserves denomination. Many
friends all over the state are impor-
tuning Mr.. Kraabel to come out for
governor, and if he does he will give
the people of the state a run for their
money and convince those who have
applied the ak cause to know that
there has been gubernatorial mara
thOn.
