HESULT OF PINCHOT'S r, TRIP Several Cabinet Members Anxloualy Awaiting President Taft'a Speeches in May Democratic Leaders Are Planning for Harmonious Ac tion In Fall Campaign. Friends of the conVVaahtngtoii. servation movement In WaHhington believe that Uifford I'lnehot had one motive and one only In going abroad to wu Theodore Itoosevelt. Mr. Tlncbot Is wine In things other than woodcraft Advocated of saving the rcnourceH any thut I'm former thiol forontor knew that If Mr. Koowvelt could be Induced to promise to uddrens a conservation meeting and would reiterate bis loyalty to the raiiMo, members of congress- now lukewunn, If not ahnolutely opposed tp the administration's conservation bills, would get In line and urge tbejr pannage. 'i What the friends of the forester tcd bus happened, and there Is now a strong evident Inclination on the part of members of congress to give their adherence to President Taft's 4'arnent request that at least two conservation, bills shall be punned at this neBKlon. The strong probabilities were a fchort time ago that both the, chief " conrcivatlon measures would be ujitll the next sesnlon, but now that Mr.'Iloo&evelt has said what he did to Mr. I'lnehot there Is a marked reawakening of interest la the bills before congress. Kepublican members seem to think that Mr. Roosevelt Is still a power with the people, and while personally a good many of the Republican members were opposed to the conservation bills, they have now concluded that It would be political folly for them to carry their opposition any farther, and no the prospect la that two of the olght or ten measures, the most important two from the conservationists' standpdlnt, will see the light, of passage to 'ore congress adjourns. Meet Views of President. The two bills for which hope has sprung anew are those which give the president the power to withdraw lands at any time that he thinks necessary, and the other Is one which separates the surface lands from the mineral deposits lying underneath foi the of disposing of the two separately, the idea being to hold the mineral wealth so that the government can . lease the right to get It out for the ex-jii- s "post-poncd- pur-pos- i y .) o market It is now pretty well agreed both by Democrats and Republicans that In view of the Roosevelt pronouncement of continued loyalty to conservation, .President Tart. If he sees auy further disposition to neglect the measure, Mill send In another special message on the subject. It seems that this conservation matter which the present president has made the subject of one long message, Is going to be dependin part at least for success upon the still existing Influence of a former president of the United States. Anxious About Taft Speeches.- Several members of the cabinet are extremely anxious to know definitely what the tone of President Taft's utterance is to be when he speaks In St. Louis and in Cincinnati and In one or. two other places the first week in May. It is said that Attorney General Wlekersham Is more concerned than Hiiy of the other cabinet members over the nature of the president's address to the middle west- ent erners. Ever since Mr. Wlekersham spoke in Chicago and took a course of determined opposition to thoso insurgent Republicans who are trying to pick to pieces some of the administration's measures, he has not been entirely happy. It Is pretty well understood In Washington that Mr. Wicker-.whnbelieved lmplicity It was the president's Intention to make a Bpeech in Washington on the same night much like the one the attorney general delivered in Chicago. Mr. read the papers the morning following his own address and found that tho president. Instead of using the club on the members of congress. who are supposed to be in opposition to hs measures, pulled out and waved .m .01ve branch. Thvre are those who think, and not Itiiout reason, that Mr. Wlekersham fears the country will get the Idea that ton and his chief are at the outs as o the proper policy to be used toward Insurgents members. Therefore It is that the attorney general aud some of his fellow cabinet members are look-iag forward anxiously to the president's utterance on his next trip. Mr. YVIcki rshnni feels that Mr. Taft ought to sntne something to back up the position which the attorney general took at Chicago. Not the Time to Be Severe. It has been said In dispatches frequently that It is the president's In tention at Cincinnati certainly, and possibly at St. IaiuIs, to strike a blow at the Republican members of congress who he thinks for reasons of personal ambition are combating some of his recommended measures. Thosu who were closest to the president, however, did not believe that he would ake occasion to say sharp things n Wick--erfchu- old-tim- e 1 1 1 about the Insurgent! la his Washington speech delivered at the same time that the attorney general was speakThe president then ing In Chicago poke to representatives of Republican clubs from different parts of tbt country, and so those who looked at, the matter from a supposedly political-- ! ly wise standpoint concluded that tbe occasion was not the proper one to score the Republicans of any faction. It is a pretty safe prophecy, bow-eveto make that the president will say some sharp things about some of the Insurgent members when he speaks In his borne city. The prophecy bas been made before, and It was made by the very men who said that Mr. Taft would not say anything sharp In his Washington speech. Part of the forecast was fulfilled and It seems likely that the rest of It will come true In order. Tho Democrats say that If the president attacks the Insurgents ba will open wider the breach In the Republican party and make more certain the election of a Democratic house next November. The advisers of the president, however, seem to feel that he will discriminate between different Insurgents and will attack only those who he thinks are attacking his measures, not because they really think the measures are Insincere, but because they want to advance their own personal ends Democrats 8eem Harmonious. While the Republicans do not admit that they have any great confidence In the ability of all the factions of the Democracy to get together In one harmonious whole, they are none too certain, for the happenings within the ranks of the opposition make It seem at least that the blue sky of peace is over the Democratic ranks with no threatening clouds on the horizon; It is expected that soon the mem-burof the Democratic congressional committee will gut Into personal touch with leading members of the party in each district so that the so that the needs may be supplied and a campaign on behalf of Democratic candidates may be conducted on lines they think are most likely to lead to success. At the recent Jeffersonlan dinner in Washington Mr. Ilryan'a letter which has been given wide publicity was rend. In a sense It was the element that disturbed the equanimity of some of the old line Democrats, but even the Republican enemy admits that the Democracy acted wisely on the occasion by reading the letter, by refraining from making any acrimonious comments and by doing nothing to precipitate factional troubles In any way. The Republicans now know pretty thoroughly the line which the Democrats will follow from this time until November. An attempt will be made to prevent throwing into the field any past matters of controversy. The Democrats will gain something by the fact that the report of the currency commission Is not to be acted upon until next winter and there will, therefore, be no necessity probably for any sharp interchanges on the cur rency question In the coming campaign. If debate on this subject were started, the Democrats fear that the silver question, to which Mr. Bryan adverted In his letter to the Jefferson birthday dinners, might bob up once more and create trouble. Tba tariff of course will be the leading Issue and the Democrats already are preparing through the congressional campaign committee to make the most of the subject Cost of Living an Argument The high cost of living it is expected by the Republicans will be used by the Democrats as an argument against high tariff. The committee of which Senator Henry Cabot Lodge is the chairman is now investigating reasons for the high cost of living and it may be that when the committee's report Is read the Republicans will And they have In It good campaign material to offset the charges of the Democracy that the high price of clothes, food and other things is due wholly to the tariff. The Democrats, as the Republicans know, will charge that the opposition since it has been in control of the house of representatives has run roughshod over the wishes of individual members and in some cases of the majority of the bouse. This Issue will be Cannonlsm with Mr. Cannon personally eliminated. Democratic stump speakers will promise that in a Democratic house there will be uo attempt at one-marule. The leading Democrats in Washington are still at work trying to com. plete the plan for perfect national harmony that they seem to think has been made possible by the pronouncement of John Temple Craves at the Jeffersonlan dinner to the effect that the members of the Independence league will come bact into the Democratic fold and will work for Democratic victory. Dispute Value of Hearst's Support Some of the Democrats who were content to claim that the next house will be Democratic by only about 15 majority now say that with the support of the Hearst people the majority will reach 45 or 60 and that the chances of the election of a Democratic president in 1912 are Increased. If one reads the signs correctly It seems probable that Chairman Lloyd of the Democratic congressional committee and his colleagues will attempt to keep tho presidential nomination question out of tho congressional campaign to as great an extent as possible. The Democratic leaders waut first of all a Democratic house, and when they have accomplished this, they say, It will be time enough to give sharp and serious consideration to the matter of the selection of the moat promising candidate for the presidency.

One of the most needed Implements at least down our way, Is one that will with a small amount of time and labor, and a smaller amount of money, enable the furmer to destroy weeds that are so plentiful on summer-fallowelands. These weeds, if allowed to grow, rob the land of Its valuable molHture and plant food and thus destroy tho real object of fallowing, the conservation of moisture, because we may as well grow a crop of grain as a crop of weeds. If the principal object of summer fallowing is to conserve moisture, tho weeds must be kept down If this purpose Is to be ac1 have traveled along complished. weedy fields of grain and fallow land from the east to tho west and from the north to the south and the question has therefore come home to me very forclbjy. "Can these weeds be destroyed?" The average fanner will say: "No, I cannot keep the weeds down. 1 harrow and disk, and it only seems to make them grow faster." I believe that tlu can be kept down if the right steps be taken, and weeds should be kept down if we have to get laws to do It. One day last year while traveling through one of the most weedy districts of the state of Utah I suddenly came upon a genuine oasis in a desert of weeds, a paradise of cleanliness and order as compared with the weedy chaos surrounding. No weary traveler in the great Sahara desert ever gazed upon a fertile spot in the desert with greater thanksgiving that I did upon this farm. Here in the midst of a sea of weeds was a farm where not a weed was to be seen. The grain was ripening pure and free from the encroachments of the enemy. The summer fallow, "00 acres in extent, was clean and smooth and loose, ready with Its stoic of moisture to start the new crop successfully along I naturally stopped and Us growth. made inquiries as to the methods used by the owner which brought such splendid results so vastly different from his neighbors. The owner smilingly led me out to the Implement shed, where he pointed to a homemade implement and said: "This is the implement that has done it all. This is my harrow, my disk, my level-e- r and my weeder. It Is the only thing that I use after plowing my land until I I seed it the following autumn. have used it now for eight years and you see the results. My land was just like my neighbors' when I began; now I have no trouble with weeds because my machine destroys them. I have no lumpy or uneven ground, because it pulverizes and levels it; 1 have no trouble with my land drying out, because a perfect mulch is always formed which conserves the moisture." d Money in Eggs. The egg part of the poultry business seems to be the one best adapted to people of moderate means and limited experience, says a writer In an exchange, and he adds: "I make an effort to raise 500 White Leghorns In the spring and summer. I believe the better plan would be to purchase from some reliable breeder two pens of ten pullets or hens each, and a cock for breeders. You will find this method more satisfactory than to buy eggs for hatching in sufllclent numbers to give you the 500 chickens, aud then you will have the hens to sell eggs from after you have gotten through hatching, buying eggs for hatching in large numbers Is not a very satisfactory proposition." Working the Soil Deep. It is quite necessary for successful dry farming that the soil be worked tolerably deep In order that sufllcient moisture to produce profitable crops may be absorbed. Our average soil In this country will retain about three inches of water In each foot. Not more than two Inches of this Is released for the crop. Hence to absorb 12 inches of precipitation at least six feet of soli would be required. Depth rather than tho kind of soil is the important consideration. In so far as depth has to do with production It Is evident that live bushels of wheat should bo produced for every foot of depth in moisture. Feeding Ewes Fodder. It Is woll to have a small lot on the south side of the barn In which to feed the ewes fodder during stormy weather when they could not grub on the pnstures. The ewes can have their roots fed them in the bam together with their grain, then be turned in this lot out of the wind, to a good supply of corn fodder or clover hay tn the rack. Clover hay Is the favorite roughage of most breeders, hut where one has only grade sheep and u large number of them corn fodder with corn on may be a more economic feed.

S5F naTD D MIL0 IS DROUGHT RESISTANT Will Remain Green Through Worst Drying Weather and Winds That May Assail It. (RV Ai.vis KKVsi.ii. c:of.rmno om.i,k(.;k. One of the chief advantages of milo Is Its ability to resist drought. Milo roots do not go so deeply as corn, but they fill the tipper layers of the soil with their dense root growth. This habit of dense root growth makes milo dry the soil out more than corn. When the soil is thoroughly dry nillo stops growing, but remains dormant. The weather can scarcely become so dry or so hot as to affect milo. It will remain green through the worst drying weather and winds that may assail it. Our other common crops wither up. turn brown and die under such conditions. However, when more favorable moisture and climatic con ditions appear later. nn;o commences right where it left off and resumes its growth. It is tills habit of dodging the drought that makes milo so favorable as a dry farm crop.
