Ancients Practiced
Using Green Manure
WASHINGTON (API Use of
green manure to maintain or Increase
productivity of the soil is one of
the oldest methods known to agri-
culture.
The ancient Romans used lupines,
which were sown in September and
turned under in May for the bene-
fit of the following crop. By the
middle of the nineteenth century
Germany began to do the same thing.
In England both legumes and va-
rious crucifers are commonly used,
and in China green plant material,
although generally composted, is
sometimes turned under. Farmers
in India and Japan gather green
plants of many kinds, often cutting
twigs from trees to fertilize their
rici fields. in the United States
green manure crops are more gener-
ally used in the south than iu the
north. They are not used much in
the semi-arid regions that practice
dry-farming, but under irrigation
green manures have ail important
place in orchard culture, in some
western states.

peasants and mountaineers who sti.i

they M'ldotn look twice at what

JOE SHOOTS SQUARE
Sojmeone asked yesterday
why Joe Own bey had more
staunch followers than any
man in the sheriff race. Sev-
eral of us talked it over and
everyone seemed to agree to
one conclusion. One of the
principle reasons, it seemed to
us was that Joe has never,
throughout his campaign,
been guilty of "slinging mud."
Because Ownbey is too hon-
orable to go about among the
voters telling how unqualified
his opponents are, he is re-
spected. Mud slinging nets ;t
candidate nothing except to
win the disdain of the men
and women he is asking to
support him. It leaves an im-
pression with those who hear
it that the man running is not
as good as the man he's run-
ning down. Because Ownbey
has not told of the demerits
of his opponents, we decided
yesterday afternoon, was the
principal reason that he is the
favorite candidate.
In the first place the man
who trys to gain favor by
"slinging mud" is a candidate
for office or a friend of a man
he is "slinging mud" for. This
fact alone disqualifies the tes-
timony in the minds of the
witness. The man who jump
on Joe Ownbey with both feet
is a man *who would like to
disfranchise him in the minds
of the people. The people
know the purpose of the
speech before it is started and
think less of the man talking
and more of Ownbey when he
is finished. It is human nature
to resent unfair play in any-
one and the resentment is
more noticable at the present
time in political races than it
has been heretofore.
At a political meeting last
week two men were scorned,
trampled under foot by other
candidates for the same race.
The people tolearted the var-
ious attacks and when tlu-
men sat down applauded
laughingly over the remarks
made. When the men who had
been the target of candidate's
remarks arose and talked for
a few moments in their own
behalf, the house grew silent.
When these two men. talking
for themselves and not againt
their opponents' sat down
there was another applause.
It war not the same type as
the laughing heard a few mo-
ments before. The applatise
was genuine and sincere. The
man who is attacked, either
publicly or privately, has
more friends after the assault
with words than before.
The sheriff's racc has been
exceptionally clean this year.
There are seven candidates in
the race and outside of a fey*
slighting remarks and an oc-
casional bit of "mud slinging"
by some of the candidates, lit-
tle has been heard against the
men in the race. Joe Ownbey
lias slung no mud at all and
we, his friends, admire hint
for his courage.
Two small boys argue for
hours and when the argument
is tit. its most heated point, one
asks the other. "What arc we
talking about." So it is in this
campaign. Those who would
run down the men with whom
they are associated on the
ticket are leaving the same
Impression on the minds of the
voters when they talk against
an opponent.
Joe Ownbey is in the sher-
iff's race because he feels that
he is qualified to hold the of-
fice for another term. He is a
friend of all of his opponents
the same as he is a friend of
the voters of Hutchinson
county. He has won the admi-
ration of political enemies be-
cause he would rather say
nothing than to say something
slurring about his opponents.
Joe Ownbey has played the
leading roll in the sheriff's
race and has played it fairly
and honestly. His opponents
know that he is the man they
will have to beat if they are
included in the run-off after
July 28. His opponents fear
this little man who shoots
square and shoots to win.
We admire him most be-
cause of his fairness. We rea-
lize that his opponents are go-
ing to attempt to lower him in
the estimation of the voters
before a week from Saturday.
We know he will stand the
test of all this slander and
win or lose he will be the
same Joe Ownbey that he war
before the race started. It ic
because we have followed his
career and found him to be a
man who is fair in politics, in
office and in life that we're
voting for Joe Ownbey.
