Jack county this year has a
finer prospect for a good corn
crop than it has had for years.
The com is practically already
made and there will be a number
of farms that will make 50 to 60
bushels to the acre-
The whole of last week the
editor spent in going to, and coming
from and at the Farmers Congress
at College Station. We devoted
the entire time to resting from
newspaper duties. We never
thought of the News, wrote a line
for it nor read any other newspaper.
We needed and wanted a rest and
we got it.
It is hardly news to say that
Bryan was nominated by the demo-
crats at Denver for president as it
was a foregone conclusion, a man
by the name of Kern, of Indiana,
was nominated vice president.
The News does not look for any
great excitement over the presi-
dential election, but then who can
tell. All lines of politics are now
quiet'and yet there may be an erup-
tion any day. Saturday July 25
wilt be the primary election in this
state. After that time things will
quiet down in Texas.
Those who wish to compete for
the corn prize this fall should re-
member that the principal thing in
winning the prize is to know good
corn. There are few who know
good corn when they see it. The
prizes are for the best and not the
largest ears. As soon as possible
the News will have at the office a
number of ears of corn which are
graded so that every one who
wishes to call and get an idea of
the kind of corn to hunt for to win
the prize. We would be pleased
to have several to bring in a few
ears for this purpose.
There is no use making a to do
about Williams who is running for
governor against Campbell. The
only votes he will receive will be
the few who are against Campbell.
The only fault against Campbell is
that he carried out the 'platform
demands. If people do not want
.the platforms carried out they
should not make any. It is like a
prosecuting attorney being un-
popular for enforcing the law. If
all the laws were enforced by an
attorney whether county, district
or attorney general he would be
very unpopular yet his action
would show the absurdity of many
of the laws and for a governor to
follow all the platform demands we
find that we do not waut as many
things as we thought we did.
The editor did not take any
notes on his visit to the Farmers
Congress and will not write an
article on the same but will give
the results and the observations in
broken doses as they come to mind
and are appropriate for the time.
We got enough “thunder” to last
almost a year and will give it out
along as occasion merits. There
was so much good knowledge
gained that it would be impossible
to even give an outline of it,
though the mind has a confused
recollection of diversification,
rotation, seed selection, fertilizing,
cow peas or other lagumes, more
and better stock, good seed bed,
fall plowing, deep breaking, shal-
low and frequent cultivation, keep-
ing soil from running away, etc.
Would you like to make three
or four hundred dollars with an
outlay of only three or four dollars?
Here is the plan, buy three or four
dollars worth of trees, set them
out, take a little care of them and
and in two or three years you will
have a home that would easily sell
for three or four hundred dollars
more than it otherwise would. Be-
sides in the meantime you would
have the advantage of living in
a more beautiful home.—Olney
Oracle.
Trees will also have a market
besides this. It .is said that a
black locust tree will be worth
$1.00 when ten years old. Many
other trees that can be grown with
little cost will brijig marvelous re-
sults. A number of years ago an
eccentric Englishman bought a
worn out southern farm and plant-
ed it in black walnut trees. Forty
years after the timber was valued
at $100 an acre.
The Remedy That Does.
“Dr. King’s New Discovery is the
remedy that does the healing others
promise but fail to perform,” says Mrs.
E. R. Pierson, of Au8um Centre, Pa.
“It is curing me of throat and lung
trouble of long standing, that other
treatments relieved only temporarily.
New Discovery is doing me so much
good that I feel confident its continued
use for a reasonable length of time will
restore me to perfect health.” This re-
nowned cough and cold remedy and
lung healer is sold at Abe Kuyken-
dall’s drug store. 50c. and $1.00.

A New Alfalfa Idea.
At the Farmers Congress one of
the local agents of the Farmers Cc-
operative Demonstrative work told
a new plan to grow alfalfa.
This plan overcomes the two
main difficulties in the growing of
alfalfa. It keeps the ground from
packing and drying out and it
keeps weeds and grass from killing
the alfalfa.
The man who originated the idea
was a small farmer and planted
only a /quarter of an acre
on trial or as an experi-
ment. from this small patch he
raised enough alfalfa to feed all of
his stock in the early part of spring
and through the summer. He
secured five cuttings in one season.
His neighbors have nearly all
adopted his plan and he will plant
more.
The plan is this: Sow the
alfalfa in drills 18 inches apart and
cultivate with a cultivator as with
any other cultivated crop. With
the rows 18 inches apart two rows
can easily be plowed at once with a
cultivator. The cultivation helps
to retain the moisture, keeps down
weeds or grass and makes the
plants grow more swiftly.
The News hopes that every far-
mer in Jhck county will try this
plan. Even though there be
plenty of feed raised this year
there can never be too much feed.'
Wc sell the famous Joseph W. Moon Buggy, which is built of specially selected
material, and especially constructed for this climate. They are the best.
Haul your wheat to market in a New Bain or Peter Schuttler wagon the best
makes on the market.
