also injured the clover to some extent
In another set of rotation trials where
barley was used as the nurse crop fair
stands of clover were obtained. The
Fargo results are encouraging and
warrant recommending red clover for
use in the Red River valley. A clean.

A thin seeding of barley or of sixty

nurse crop than wheat although wheat
has been fairly successful in the Fargo

Medium red clover was given nine
years trial at the jamestown demon
srratlon farm during the years 1909 to
1917 inclusive. During these trials
there were four failures, four good
crops, and one poor crop. The sue
cesses were grouped together in the
four years 1912. 1918. 1914. and 1915.
in all of which years there was good
supply. Of moisture on this particular
farm Most of the failures seemed to
be due to the drying UP of the young
clover plants. Wheat was used as a
nurse crop in all Of these trials ex-
cept the first season. The crop was
seeded in every case but one on land
that had been in wheat the previous
year. The field to be seeded to clover
was fall plowed every year except the
first year.
1t is likely that if the clover could
have been seeded in land that had
been in corn the previous year, a
greater degree Of success would have
been obtained especially in the very
dry years There should be less weeds
in wheat after corn than in wheat
after wheat. Small weeds compete
against the young seedlings OF timothy
and clover even more strongly than
against the wheat plants.

May Invoke Corrupt Practices Act.

The Richland Rustic is authority
for the statement that Judge Bancroft
has investigated certain matters sur
rounding the recent judicial election
and may invoke the corrupt practices
act to ascertain if there were not vio-
lations of the law in certain localities.
The Rustic says:
There can be no doubt but
that at least one circular sent out
to defeat Judge Bancroft was
as gross a violation of that law as
could be found. And it is to that par
ticular circular that his defeat is
largely attributed. In such counties
as where Judge Bancroft was we'll
known the circular had no effect as is
seen by reviewing the returns from
Richland, Crawford, Iowa and Grant
counties, but down in Lafayette,
where the judge was unknown and
where the circular received its broad

The easiest way to get rid OF the

The Ignorance of the Educated.

One of G. K. Chesterton's latest lee
lures is entertainingly written with
the abyssmal ignorance of the social
ed smart" people as the subject OF his
lampoon. Chesterton says that as a
rule educated people are not in any
sense educated" He affirms that
they have absorbed a smattering of
things from books and teachers which
may or may not be real knowledge.
Having thus gone through the calls
themes of learning and having con-
formed to established conventions of
soaking up misinformation and rub
bish they set themselves up as au-
thorities upon all subjects. 1t really
would be pitiful were not the conse-
quences so Outlines dreadful. Do
not call Chesterton brilliant" or he
will shoot you dead and justly so.
There are no such people and-"All
that Glitters is not Gold"
Chesterton says that the only man
really educated is the man who knows
his task thoroughly and does his job
we'll because he has proved the answer
in every case. For instance, the far
mer, who will instantly agree to a
lack of knowledge on subjects not re-
lating to agriculture, Chesterton says,
is a really wise man. No man is or
thoroughly what he is talking about
People who pretend to universally of
knowledge, the 81 ought to know be-
cause l am educated!" kind are the
biggest humbugs of all.

STARVE WHITE GRUBS
BY GROWING CLOVER.

Look out for white grubs on land
that was in grass or sod last year.
This is the precaution urged by c. L..
Fluke of the department of economic
entomology of the University. AL
though last summer there were small
numbers of June bugs from whose
eggs the white grubs are Matched,
there may be enough of these bugs
to do considerable damage if not ruin
crops of corn or potatoes. Since the
June bug does not lay eggs in clover
fields, the potatoes and corn should be
planted where clover was grown last
year White grubs do not attack clio
yer. Glover can be successfully raised
on grub infested ground.

Bill to Enlarge State Penitentiary.

The above heading IS not the real
title to the bill but if the Lucas bill
is ever passed, that should be made
its title. 1t provides that any person

fetal, shall be deemed guilty Of

Next Time a Diagram.

1t seems that certain persons took
great umbrage against the Herald
for a frank statement made last
week However, without apologizing
or retracting the reference made to
a "cheap-John, shyster and munich
pal court" was not directed at Judge
Elect Smalley. This simply voiced
our opinion and the opinion Of the
people of Lancaster toward the NUM-
cipal court scheme as conceived in
Platteville
The Herald has not poured it
into" Mr.. Smalley who had a perfect
right to run for the office and who
was elected. We have never said
anything derogatory of Mr.. Smalley
and our only reference to the contest
was that in our opinion Judge Ban
croft was best fitted by experience,
ability and temperament for the
place. We still think so but the ma
jority of the voters in the circuit
thought otherwise and said so.
We properly resent an attempt to
distort our meaning into a vicious
attack upon the judge-elect. Next
time we will draw a diagram.

Thinking Hard Times.

1t looks as though the drunken
frenzy of constantly ascending prices,
big profits and big wages, extrava-
gance and waste of the past two or
three years is over for a considerable
time. From now on we are on the OPP
posite side of the wheel that turns un-
endingly from high prices and pros
perity to low prices and depression.
Apparently there is no remedy for
this. The man who was frugal during
the past three years can face the fut-
ure with confidence and although his
income may not be great he Will
weather through Then there are
others who deserve sympathy because
they were not established long enough
to benefit by the good times. But the
man who made good wages or profits
and wasted his substance deserves
little sympathy and is likely to get
just what he deserves.
Everybody talking hard times,
"wolfing" about low prices and wall
ing over poor business is the surest
way in the world to make times hard.
The fact is that the average business
, man, mechanic or farmer is not any
worse off now than he was three or
four months ago. His income is re-
duced but otherwise, unless he is do
| ing business at an actual loss, he is
not much hurt. We must recognize
that profits will be less and money
harder to make. We must therefore
work harder andy all means keep
up appearances. Laying down i'll the
harness and wearing a long face while
doing it never made times good and
never will. Don't be too easily de-
feated. The present depression will
pass just as soon as the public psy-
chology changes from fear to con-
fidence.
