l How do you go about writing
a book?
The first step—and much the
most important—is the gather-
ing of the material, assuming
that you are not going to write
on a subject which you know
at first hand—your recollections
of a famous friend, or a winter
you spent in the Antarctic.
Then the materials must be
grouped, so as to be easily
handled. If it is a biography,
the groupings would be the boy-
hood and early schooling, col-
lege days, beginning of career,
etc. After the grouping, ma-
terial must be given time to
assume shape and significance
in the writer’s mind.
Last of all comes the writ-
ing—which often takes the least
time of all.
Research is fascinating. A
while back I became interested
in the subject of William Jen-
nings Bryan, So all the biogra-
phies—five or six—were read.
When Bryan ran the first
time for president, his opponent
was William McKinley—and so
the biographies of McKinley
and of Mark Hanna, the master-
mind of McKinley’s campaign,
were examined. The-next race,
the Republican candidate for
vice president was Theodore
Roosevelt and he and Bryan
were rivals thereafter — hence
the biographies of “T.R.” were
read; similarly, with William
Howard Taft, Bryan’s opponent
in his third campaign.
Then, since Bryan had much
to do with the nomination of
Woodrow Wilson, came the
reading of chapters in the Wil-
son biographies.
Also there were contempor-
aries who had contacts with
Bryan, such men as Bourke
Cockran, Grover Cleveland and
John Peter Altgeld. Then there
were journalists who wrote their
recollections of “the great and
near great.”
Besides, there are the writ-
ings of professors on govern-
ment, who have analyzed thp
methods and influence of vari-
ous political leaders. And some-
times in an autobiography of
someone, you find a recollection
of Bryan.
Besides books, there are con-
temporary magazines which give
accounts of the various con-
ventions and campaigns; and
the old newspapers, too.
The search for facts, inci-
dents and color becomes in-
triguing, indeed.

'King County Soil’
Elmer and Larry Keith, who
operate farms in the north part
of King County, know the bene-
fits received from a good cover
of wheat stubble on their small
grain fields. They are using
chisel and sweep equipment in-
stead of the old one-way fol-
lowing wheat harvest. Elmer is
planning to get a rod weeder
to control weeds that have giv-
en trouble following harvest.
Wheat farmers that practice
stubble mulch tillage have good
insurance against erosion. The
value of crop residue in con-
trolling water erosion was clear-
ly shown on many local wheat
fields this year following the
heavy May and June rains.
The surface residues helped tq
increase tfre amount of water
that the soil soaked up and
slowed down runoff so that

ing fields without surface resi
due lost tons of valuable top
soil.
The hard beating rains that
fall in the summer months
quite often do more damage
than good unless the soil has
a good cover. This is one of the
reasons why more and more
farmers are changing to stub-
ble mulching. Sweep type plows
and trashy farming have paid
off for many local wheat farm-
ers this year. The top soil
saved following one heavy rain
will quite often more than off-
set the cost of stubble mulch-
ing equipment.
Sweep and chisel type im-
plements are well adapted to
this part of. the state. They can
be used to loosen the soil, kill
weeds, and leave the soil in ex-
cellent condition to take water.
The kind and number of tillage
operations should be adjusted
so that a good stubble cover is
left on the surface through
p! planting time.
The most important thing a
farmer needs, to do stubble
mulching, is a sincere desire to
protect the soil- If you are hav-
ing trouble with wind or water
erosion on your farm, try chang-
ing your farming operations so
that residue is left on top of
the ground.
