The opportuntles for TIME OF SEEDING WINTER WHEAT NNorth Platte Experiment Station. ) As the time of seeding winter wheat fla approaching , the results of seeding t different dates for several years . may be of Interest. Each year wheat lias been sown beginning early in Sep tember and continued at different idate * Into early October. The time of cerding is quite Important , but the yields of wheat sown at the same date In different years do not always agree. 'For ' the majority of years the wheat eown between Sept. 15 and 20 has given the highest yield , but In at ilen.61 two years , namely 1900 and 1910 , the later rowings yielded best. In 1909 wheat sown the first of October out-yielded the earlier sowings and produced thirty-five bushels per acrci. Again ! n 1910 the wheat sown on Sept. 20 produced the largest yield of 17.4 bushels per acre , where the wheat sown Sept. 10 yielded from 9.4 Some part even If a small part of this newspaper's space today ought to be serving you.

In general , it can be said tha where the ground is too dry to sprou the wheat , sowing should be delayec until late In September or perhaps tc Oct. 1 , In the hope of securing rail before sowiti ' , . It Is doubtful if seed ing should bo delayed later than this if It is to be done at all , since when which makes a good fall growth al ways goes Into the winter In bctte condition than where growth Is smal and the roots of the wheat are unprc tected by the top. If land Is plowed early and wel worked down , It will seldom bo neces sary to wait beyond Sept. 20 for seed ing. Where the surface is dry for th top four Inches , a roller may be rui over the land to compact U , and thl followed by the press drill.

Judge Bordwell Will Rule on Two Per emptory Challenges. Los Angeles , Oct. 19. The Me- \amara murder trial was resumed to day with the beginning of a new court calendar week , with prospects that in he course of the session Judge Wai- or Bordwell would rule on two per emptory challenges made yesterday by the defense on the ground that a alesman who believes the Los An- trolos Times huildinc was blown UD > y dynamite cannot be a fair juror. The position Is taken because the lefense contend that the explosion in the Times building was caused by gas ind that counsel defending .Tames B. McXamara on trial for the murder of Charles G.

Special to The News : Large delegations of land- seekers arrived tills morning from Iowa , Nebraska , Missouri , Kansas and Oklahoma , to register for the govern ment lands now being offered in the Pine Hidge and Hosebud agencies , and the indications are this will be the banner day of the registration. A cold rain was falling this morning and the conditions were very dis agreeable , yet the struggling crowd seemed to be good-natured and all are intent upon the land lottery when the prizes are distributed. Official figures of yesterday's reg istration aiv as follows : Dallas , Co-l ; Gregory , 1,252 ; Chamberlain , ( J12 ; Rapid City , H25. Dallas , S. D. , Oct. IS. Special to Till- News : At the close of the first day of the final week of the great Rosebud and Pine Ridge reservation land opening , the figures given out by the secretary of the notarial associa tion showed that it had been the best day in point of attendance since the opening began and if the day's total is any criterion , the week will be a bo nanza. The bunch registering came for the greater part from the laboring classes men who had steady jobs and could ill afford to be away for any length of time. They had taken advantage of the Sunday layoff to come up and register so that they would not lose any more time than was necessary. Hundreds arrived on the Sunday night train and they lined up in front of the registration building for over a block and braved the rain and cold in order that they might register as soon as the registration began at midnight , and catch the early trains for home. One little fellow from Omaha kept his place in the line forever over an hour without even an over coat to protect him from the rain , and when he got Into the building his teeth were chattering so from the cold and chill that he had to be warm ed up before he could make the notary - tary understand his name and other necessary information. In order to be prepared for the ex tra , large crowds that are expected to arrive on the homeseekers' excursions this week hundreds of extra cots have been secured and they will be held In readiness to be used In case that the present accommmodatlons of the town prove Inadequate. If necessary , the churches and schoolhouse will be thrown open and every effort made to Insure the comfort of all the land , seekers that come here. So far during the present registration Dallas has made an enviable reputation for her self as a hostess and nothing will be left undone to live up to the mark already set.

Qualifications of Judge Welch. Pierce Call : The voters of tin- Ninth judicial district. Including Pierce , Wayne. Antelope , Knox nnd Madison counties , will be called upon to elect a district judge tor the dis trict at the fall election. The pres ent Incumbent , Hon. Anson A. Welch , of Wayne is a candidate for re-election , and If the people of this district have the proper appreciation for a man who lias proved a worthy official , hi' will be re-elected this fall by tin- largest majority ever given a cnndi- date for this office in the district. If the enactment of just and equitable- laws by the legislature is important , then the fair Interpretation and en forcement of these laws by the courts is doubly so , since a law on the sta tute books becomes a controlling : force in the affairs of men only when it is applied to their clashing inter ests by judge and jury. This being true , the selection of men to preside over the various courts as judges be comes a matter of the gieatost im portance. While the public good re quires Hint every office be filled by men who are honest and able , It is of special importance that the people look well into the qualifications of the men who aspire to judge-ships. Be cause of the peculiar relation that a judge of the court bears to the most valued inteiests of the people and be cause of the gieat power exercised by him , the tendency of the tiinen is to demand of him not only honesty as a man and ability as a lawyer , but lie must possess that rare quality of fairness and impartiality In the discharge of his official duties which guarantees to even the humblest liti gant that his rights will be protected without , respect to who lie is or what his political or religious affiliations may be. It Is conceded even by his opponents that Judge Welch posses ses just this quality. There can be no question as to his great ability as a lawyer. His personal oharartoi is above reproach ; he has the respect and confidence of every lawyer in his district and his kind and cour teous treatment of witnesses and jur ors who have had occasion to como before his court , lias endeared him to hundreds who will gladly do all they can to aid his election. Judge Welch is not a politician in the sense of be ing an aggressive office seeker and lie is one of those who believe that the people in electing a man to a place of responsibility should act on their deliberate judgment , and the Call feels that if this is done there will be no question about the reelection tion of Hon. A. A. Welch. FEARS SECOND FLOOD. Water Is Pouring Over Dam , Washing More Buildings Into River. Black River Falls , Wis. , Oct. IS. Fearing further destruction from a flood , similar to the one which par tially levelled the city several weeJs ago , Black River Falls last night was a wakeful town , its residents fearing another inundation due to torrential rains. Early today the clouds had cleared away , but Black River was still rising. Citizens of Black River Falls work ed all night by the light of lanterns , to prevent another disaster. The Black river is pouring over the crest of the Black River Falls Light and Power company's dam and slowly eat ing Its way into what Is left of the former business district. Buildings that had withstood the previous flood , were washed away last night and floated down In thc raging torrent. The Merchants hotel , which had resumed business follow ing the recent flood , is In imminent danger as well as the old postofflce building , the home of the Jackson County bank. Nothing , it is said , will save them but a receding of the river.
