The ability of J. w. Fesmire to
produce watermelons V very we'll
known. He said Saturday he had his
land for this crop prepared for plant
ing for about one and a half months.
He placed the hills ten feet apart.
This was done by running burrows
length ways and cross ways of the
field. AL the intersection of these
rows he placed big shovel full of
manure. The next thing which he
did was to take turning pillow and
throw up bed where he made the
burrows. About the first Of May he
will take hoe with him and dig up
the soil enough so that he can plant
his seed. THIS is A FINE EXAM
PIE OF THE VALUE OF A FIRM
SEED BED. A successful practice
for many years is thing that
should cause us to do big lot of
thinking when we are planning to
prepare a seed bed.

TAFT Not In Race
For President.

NEW YORK, April 12,-Today !
met Henry W. Taft, brother of FORM
er President Taft. in Wall Street
"A lot Of talk about your distin.
euished brother for the 1920 Repub-
lican presidential nomination" said |.
i wish they would stop it for it
is very displeasing to him personal.
ly and to his family as well as to
his brothers and their families" said
he.
Continuing, in answer to ques.
ton. ne said: AT my house night
before last where members of three
of our families were represented, and
my brother. Charles P. Taft, Of Gin
cinnati. was present, the question
came up because OF some silly news
paper comment Even the younger
members of the family joined US
all in declaring that we must use
our influence to prevent my brother
the former president, frem ever
again running for political office.
| told them that he agreed with US,
for | know his views perfectly, and
feel sure he will never again be a
candidate for Office. so his mind is
fully made up. No. my brother will
not be the Republican candidate. or
the candidate OF any other party
for president.
OF couse he won't be the candi-
date Of any other party than the
Republican, but what if the rank
and file force the nomination upon
him." said |.
Il don't believe he will accept
even then, but the reason for this !
don't want to 90 into except to say
he has had enough of politics for
one lifetime said Mr.. Taft.
But" said he, continuing. If men
like Senators Borah, Poindexter,
johnson and some others keep on
lambasting my brother because of
his stand in the league Of nations
matter, they may drive the nominal
ton to him. | say this from the
letters and kilograms, as well as
some newspaper reports we have
from different parts of the country
wherever these senators have spoken
in opposition to my brothers stand
as regards the league of nations
really, they are doing more for him,
if | may call it such, toward driving
the nomination toward him than
all the well meaning friends he
has.
But, | repeat, my brother does
not want and | am sure will not &C.
cept the nomination if rendered to
him. He wishes to live a retired
and quiet life, and enjoy bis family.
He has been in public life long
time. He served in far off islands
was jumped from his Ohio home to
Washington, from there to the Phil
lipines, and from there to some
other place. He has lived in a trunk,
so to speak, for the greater part Of
of his life. Absolutely he has quit
politics for the sake of his family
and himself, and there is no use in
keeping up this talk about his &C.
ceptine the 1920 nomination." said
