BETTER FARMING FOR WHEAT.

1--WE should emphasize better farm
ing by all means" says MIR. A. A.
Hendricks, Sheridan Co., n. OAK.
This country has been EARNED TO
death, so to speak. We have been
taking from the land for years II
have been putting nothing back, n
no soil can stand this.
1--WE have learned this lesson, l
hone. and better farming Will begin.
The land that was summer fallOWed,
produced much better crops than the
ordinary fall blowing. Farmers nave
begun to raise corn and they a see
hat wheat on corn land also produces
much more than that farmed in the
old way. Nearly every farmer Will
have q piece of corn neXt season ana
many will summer fallOw. Some have
been summer blowing and nothing
more, and while this is an improve
ment over the past, nevertheless, the
summer blowing must be worked in
order to kill weeds and conserve
moisture.
when this is done the land IS
ready in the spring and can be seeded
early and the early seeded grain Is
always the best quality. Early seeded
grain is also advanced so that in a
rust year it is not damaged so much
as later seeded grain.
Better farming and good prices go
together. Farmers will make more
money by seeding less acres but put
ting their crops In land that has beer
well prepared"

Philippines to make an investlga-
ton to determine whether the island
ers are ready for selt-government ana
to report to President Harding. Sew
eral hundred congressman have made
the trip to the Philippines during re-
cen year and they have returned
to debate the question. National po-
litical platforms have decided that the
Philippines should have self-govern-
ment, but congress has been slow to
act. 4
Whatever the report of the two
commissioners may be, it is not likely
to have a very decided effect upon
the opinions of the people as a whole.
But officially it is likely to mean a
great deal, since it is expected that
the president will accept the report
as the basis fer his position upon the
independence of the Philippines. In
the recent boundary dispute in which
Panama was involved the president
refused to bulge from the findings OF
Chief Justice White, although a-lot or
people besides the aged justice rep
resented that they knew a good deal
about the matter. 1t is fOreseen that
the administration is likely to take
a position similar in support of the
Wood-Forbes commission. OF course
no one knows what these two men
will report, but it is known that Gov
ernor Forbes was formerly opposed
TO the independence of the islanders.
Meanwhile the Philippine commission
in Washington is leaving no stone un-
turned to advance the cause for self
government for their people,
AS the Harding administration
moves on its curse it Is evident that
the policies of the former administra-
ton are being continued in a great
man instances, with no apparent
prejudice against them because they
are of democratic parentage. The
treaty of Versailles hangs fire, but II
is evident there will be no declaration
of a separate peace with Germany, or
the withdrawal Of troops, until there
is some radical change in the existing
situation. The building program of
the navy that was in effect before Mr..
Harding came into office, will be car
ried out, and the policy Of the fed
eral reserve bank will remain I'M
changed. Mexico, Japan, South and
Central America, all present the same
problems as in the past, and the in
dications are hat old policies will be
followed wherever possible, and the
United States will keep to the beaten
paths.
1t is asserted in Washington that
there exists a propaganda which is
endeavoring to convince Americans
hat they should saddle upon them
selves the so, 900 600, 900 which was
loaned to European governments. 1t
may be positively stated that the adj
ministration is opposed to any such
method of disposing of the European
debt: and it is pointed out, evidently
with a degree of authority that it is
to be accepted as final, that the Amer
lean taxation program of the coming
four years contemplates that the
United States will pay its war debts,
and that other governments that owe
us will do the same.

WHEAT IN
Necessary to Fight Weeds, Diseases,
and to Put Ground in Proper Tilth.
By MANLEY

oS LIN
There are a number of reasons why
the wheat crop must be rotated IL
good results are expected after the
land has been under cultivation for a
few years.
Wheat is not Il good weed fighter.
After ten years more or less cOntinu-
Gus wheat growing, the soil becomes
foul with wild oats, king head, wild
peas, mustard, quack grass, thistle
and many other weeds.
Further than this the scab disease
and some other fungi harbor TO best
advantage in soil that grows wheat
continuously.
The best illustration showing the In
iluenCe Of crop rotation in checking
the ruvageS of Scab, was in the u
ties of Clark and Sphinx in South Da-
kota in the year 1919, probably the
worst scab year on record. Splnk
county is in the James River valley
and is level enough 50 that wheat Gull
ture has been easy as u result mas
been the main crop since the early
SOS. Clark county, on the other hand,
has more rolling land. More Of II has
been left in grass and diversified
farming has been the rule for many
years.
In 1919 many Sphinx county wheat
fields were scabbed sc badly that they
were not thrcShed. Others produced
five bushels or less per ace of inferi-
or wheat. In Clark county, the bulk
of the wheat crop averaged 10 bushels
per acre and upward, although there
was much Scnh in Clark county as
well.
Besides being unsound from an Agrl-
cultural standpoint, the practice or
growing wheat year after year Is
economically unSOund. 1t puts all the
risk in one place. II provides no
means of spreading the income through
the year TO advantage.
The need for rotation of crops, be-
ing so clearly indicated, it remalnS Tor
each one Of us to work out a rotation
that will suit our conditions.
In Minnesota and Eastern Dakota u
four year rotation of corn, oats, Wheat
and clover or sweet clover, works OUT
very nicely. In the dricr sections
where il is difficult TO secure STANDS OF
cloI er every year and where there IS
LITTLE danger from Il wet weather dis
ease like scab, Il tWo-year rotation or
corn and wheat or potatoes n Wlleai
or prose- or oats in triple rows n
wheat Is a success.
If tame hay or pasture, such as aLIai-
fa, sweet clover, bronze grass or mixed
meadow grass is wanted, Il field can De
sown with the wheat. After Il stand IS
ecured. II is best to leave It Tor a
few years. When 1t begins to deteri-
crate a new meadow may be planted
and when assured Of n new Stand the
old one may be plowed up and WORKED
into the two-year rotation.
After observing n large number or
rotation plans in the drier areas lot
the past ten years, l have come to the
conclusion that the above plan is more
satisfactory than any plan involving
the sowing Of grass seed every year.
Even sweet clover, which Is normally
a biennial, will continue to come bacK
from volunteer plants Tor SEVERN
years If undisturbed.

Weeds Spread Rust.

Mr.. VIM. ]. Hown, a farmer OF Cass
Co., n. Oak, says that wild oats and
pigeon grass spread rust and that
these grasses act as carriers from the
barberry on through to the wheat.

Borah and others in Congress, who voiced sentiment to the effect that S10,000 would be sum sufficient Is regarded as the cause of the commit tees statement that the expenses O. the inauguration will not constitute an unbearable drain on the pocket books of taxpayers.
 1t Is learned on what appears to ba excellent authority that President elect Harding does not look with es- pecial favor on plans which would make his inauguration q reminder Of the days of Roman triumphs. It is said that Senator Harding appreciates the necessity of governmental and popu- lar restriction in expenditures. It is known that. he indorses the policy of the federal reserve board which has eliminated loans for non7essentials.
 HARDING IS PERSUADED
 But Senator Harding, if report be true has been over persuaded by the enthusiastic committee in charge of plans. and the contention of the stand pat" bosses of the republican party that the people of the country would be willing to pay an enormous sum in celebrating the resumption on the part of protection high priests of their ac customed places at the pie-counter. Furthermore, it is reported that Mrs. Harding is looking forward with nat uraI pleasure to the day when the en- tire world will be mad with joy over -the ascendeney of the heretofore un- pretentious Harding family of Marion, Ohio.
 The Senate voted s50.000 for the use of he committee, and the House will undoubtedly follow suit There was also tentative agreement that a similar amount be expended in providing trans portation and expenses for the cadets of West Point and the young seamen of Annapolis. It is also. regarded as probable that certain assistance will be given in securing the presence of certain crack regiments of infantry and cavalry. and cadet corps of prominent military institutions throughout the country.
 The city of Washington, through it's merchants who anticipate an ample re- turn, has raised $143000. Police pro- lection, and the construction of stands, including the imperial court of honor will cost another pretty penny. Plans for the inaugural ball reckon with the expenditure of huge sum, and dam age to the pension office building will go into the many thousands of dol lars"
