THE RED CLOUD CHIEF, FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1895. tW -' EDITORIAL NOTK8. Thk return of prosperity Ib ovory whoro apparent.

Thin is of vital Importanco to land owners an well as thopo who expect to mako their homo here Rosrwatrk still trloa to nniko people think that he is a ropubllcan, but it will bo a hard matter for tho "pridoof sovor al countries" to makopeoplo believe that bo is anything but a "bloomln' jay" in politics. W.M. Ihom or Uuido ItocK, up to a phort timo ago a rock-ribbed democrat, says he cannot alllllato with that party any more,, and haa conio over to the Grand Old Party. Ho wiih in Red Cloud this wook and pnid this ofllco a pleasant call. Tiik CiliF.F quefltioiis tho propriety of the board of auporvlnorfl allowing over 8100 in claims in tho content suit of Thompson vs Fort and others: Tho suit is a private ono and in no way can tho exponsoa bocomo a claim against tho county. The political cauldron is beginning to efforvosco. Candidates aro becoming numerous and wo look forward to a suc cessful victory this fall if tho lopublican party is judicious in putting forth its best men. Party success moans good men and a vigorous campaign. O.ne day this wook tho Argns, Dolt and Chief offered to do tho printing of tho delinquent tax list for OG per cont of tho logal rato, and at even a groater re duction, but the board of supervisors wont right straight ahead and voted it to tho Nation at full logal ratos. Queor economy, The Rocord, of South Sioux City. Ne braska, is a now republican papor that came to our wigwam this weok, marked X. It is an excellent papor in evory way. Politics tho right kind republi can, of course. Elmore & Keofer are the proprietors. The Chief wishes them prosperity, 10 to 1. Thk Chief believes that the city coun cil made n serious mistake in ordoriug tho water commissioner to shut off tho city wator whore payment is not mado by tho ICth, especially so at this time when money is scarco and hard to got. Tho time to havo adopted such measures was whon times were much better. Tho order should bo modified to suit the times. The purifying process in the republi can party is going on day by day. The State Journol says: that Pennsylvania and Now York are advocating new lead era and becoming tired of Tom Piatt, Matt Quay, uud so on. New leaders, Dew vim and now enorgy enthused into the republican ranks will insuro a grand victory in '00. The timo can not come too soon for the bonetit of tho nation. Rutledge, the bicycle thief whom Sheriff Runohey captured a few days ago, is now in jail in Greoloy, Colorado. The culprit had shipped two of the tho atolon bicyclos to Kansas City, and waa riding through on the other when captured. By his capture, Sheriff Run chey is ontitlod to WO reward. It was a good haul, and tho sheriff is to bo con gratulated on his good fortuno in nab bing a thiof of Rutledge's character. The republican party is stronger to day than it has been for ten years. Democrats and others aro coming into tho republican fold. The misrule of tho democrntie party and the vogariea of othor issuos aro too much for thinking men and thoy roc ognizo the fact that tho safety of tho nation lies within the republican party. It is a mun'e prerog ative to voto ub he ploases, and belongjto aa many isms as he pleases, but notwlth standing that fact ho should not go for ward blindly into disaster by remaining outsldo of tho porty of prosperity and the advocate of geod government, i. o. tho republicon party. Tho caso of Thompson vs. Fort et al will be tried before Judge Boall in Red Cloud on the ll)th. Tho case is ono that relates to the injunction proceedings, in which tho county board of supervisors ougnt to restrain County Clerk Forti Treasurer White, and Judge Duffy from appointing tho commissioners that were to take tho place of tho board of super visors, aa a result of last fall's election. The contest suit was dismissed, but the Injunctlou still remains, and the motion to dissolvo tho injunction will be argued on that date. If thero was no cause for contest, there was certainly no room for an injunction standing against the ap pointment of tho commissioners as voted. The gentlemen have boon ready to All their part of the work, but did oot like to run up against tho caurt. Proceeding of Hie Board or Education At tho ofTico of II. M Pond en evening of the rth Inst.

My last bulletin gavo foreoasts of tho storm wavcH to cross the continent from July 18th to 22d. Tho noxt rill reach the Pacific coast about July 23d, cross tho western mountain oountry by clu.'o of 24th, the great central valleys from 25th to 27th and tho eastern states about the 29th. During and immediately preceding this disturbance will occur the hottest period of tho month, accompanied by indications of drouth. The drouth in Florida and the southeastern states will increase end northwest of St. Louis, in tho direc tion of Manitoba, moisture will be defiaiont. Tho warm wavo will cross tho west of Rookies oountry about 23d, great central valleys 25th and saltern states 27th. Cool wavo will cross tho west of Rockies country about 26th, groat central valleys 28th and eastern states 30th. This cool wavo will probably oauso light frosts along the northern bor ders of the Uuif.od Statos, keeping up the record as a most remarkablo crop season. WINTER WHEAT. July and August rains will probab ly put rolling lands in good condition for plowing, preparatory for sowing winter whoats, but soils that hold water longer than the average will probably bo too wet. In the great central valleys heavy rains will fall in Soptsmbor and the plowing should be completed as early as possible; not only for the reason mentioned above, but also because of the savero winter to follow. la the northern portion of the win tor wheat belt, sowing should bo torn pleted early in Qeptembor; in the south a month later and the sowing should bo completed long enough bo fore to give tho soil timo for becom ing packed so that the wheat plants may have a solid bed instead of a loose ash-bank in whieh to germinate The rollor should bo thoroughly used. For the coming hard wintor tho plant might bo hotter prepared by a second rolling after tho whoat has covered the ground with its green In many placea tho rains will have washed the soil from the roots and left an unevon surface, inviting tho work of the winds, and for this the roller is a good remedy. Tho weather will favor the above suggestions as October is expectod to be warm in the winter wheat country, and the preparation will be noocssary in view of the sovcre Decomber weather to follow. I hold that vegetation receives no nourishment from tho soil. The plant receives all its food from or through the atmosphere. Thit is contrary to tho common theory of the farmer. The farmcr'a theory is to preparo the soil so that its substance will readily enter tho plant, run up its stalk, entering tho loaves and seeds from below. My thoory is to so pro pare the soil that it will readily con duct tho ourrcats of electricity whieh onter the plant through it leaves, pass down its stalk and enter the earth through its roots, thus bringing to the plant its nourishment from above and exuding the refuse into the earth by way of its roots. I have some positive proof for my theory, for soiontists havo found that currents of oleotrioity constantly en ter the plant through its leaves, pass down its stalk and into the earth. Wo also know that curront of else trioity carry matter, and tho only question left to determino is whether the observed currents in plants oarry matter to and feed vegetation. The tap roots of plants conduot most oleotrioity, and according to my theory do not neod what the farmer calls a rioh soil, boocuso the sub stance of the ooil never enters the roots. The farmer would say that these tap roots gather in or suok in most plant food from tho soil, there fore, in bvoaking tho ground for sow ing winter wheat they invert the soil, turning under what tho farmer oalls the riohest portions of the soil where tho tap roots can get to it moro readi- Ij. If tho farmer's theory as to plant food is correct, then his practioo of inverting the soil is correot: but if my theory is correot. thon inverting the soil is a mistake, I bolicvo that better results would obtain if the soil could be moved and pulverized without turning it The only object, if my theory is correct, is to put the soil into condition to ab sorb and hold water, beeauso moist catth conducts electricity whilo dry earth docs not. Heroin is the seoret of oomme'roial fertilizers so much used in the eastern and southeastern states. These fer tilizers aro principally minora! sub stances that readily cenduot clcotrio currents and which the eleetrio cur rents carry away, not into tho plant but inte the earth, and hence they must be renewed evory season. If farmers weuld us a smaller break-plow and let it run dcoper, the soil would bo moved but not inverted. Tho ground thus prepared for tho plant wetrld bo left in its aataral con dition, right sido up, as wo tee it whare the immense wild fereBts grow. Turning the soil is good for retting weeds and prairie sod, but not good for the plant that is to grow on it. It is not my purpose to discuss what tho winter wheat crop will yiold in 1896. Tho bost work on that crop daring 1895 is the only question taken up in this bulletin. The first step is to break the soil early and deep with a narrow plow, leaving tho seil as nearly as possible right side up. Tho deop plowing will permit the water to go bolow tho plant, and tho hoavy raias of the fall will not bo ser iously mjuro it. Thon thorough roll ing will pack tho top soil and enable moro of tbe wator to run off, aid pre vent the hard wiater weather from getting at the roots. Less acreage and a better crop se cured by more careful farming will certaialy pay better. This subjeot of oultivating the cereals will be eontinuod, but farmers aro spooially notified that the break ing down of tho law of supply and demand by instituting artificial means of eontrolling prices prevent any cor reot estimate as to what crops will pay best. Until this law of supply and demand is restored to its rightful sup remacy, tho matter of selecting your orop must remain a leap iu the dark . i A horse ktoked II. 8.
