To: G. Slocum Bennett, Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania
ALS, 3 p. (2 sheets)G.W. has sent Bennett the two paintings he commissioned. John Purdue, who originally purchased them, allowed them to be sent to Bennett, and he will take copies instead. This will allow G.W. to leave immediately for California to be present at his brother's deathbed. G.W. will finish Purdue's copies while there. Bennett can also purchase the portraits of Brouillette and Kick-ke-se-qua for $100, by writing to Gordon Ball. Requests Bennett telegraph him payment for these two works, as G.W. hopes to leave for California on May 28
Warren G. Harding letter to Harry R. Kemerer, November 11, 1919
No full textIn this letter dated November 11, 1919, Senator Warren G. Harding writes to Harry R. Kemerer of Carrollton, Ohio, in response to his letter of November 8. In Harding's opinion, General David Hollingsworth, U.S. Representative from Ohio, has accomplished nothing of value in his political career, and does not believe Hollingsworth a suitable delegate to attend the 1920 Republican National Convention, although admitting he has every right to try to attend. Harding states that he would rather continue his senatorial career rather than campaign for the presidency, and claims the only reason he has not publicly announced that he will likely not run for president is because such an announcement would fracture the Party. Much of this letter discusses the political situation in Ohio, and his strategy for moving through its current state before the 1920 presidential election. He hopes that the unease among Republicans will be resolved by winter so that Ohio can strategize about how to best make its impact at the Convention.
This letter is part of the Warren G. Harding Papers (MSS 345). This collection includes correspondence, business records, and other materials documenting Harding’s business career as owner and editor-in-chief of The Daily Marion Star, as well as the various stages of his political career. A significant portion of the collection, and what’s available on Ohio Memory, highlights his 1920 presidential campaign, spanning just before publicly announcing his candidacy to handily defeating Ohio Governor James M. Cox in the election. Correspondents include both Ohio and national businessmen, political figures, and ordinary citizens writing with questions, support, congratulatory notes, and campaign advice. Some of the most interesting insights into the tumultuous political climate in the U.S., the extreme factionalism within the Republican Party in Ohio, and Harding’s campaign strategies are described in letters between Harding and his campaign manager, Harry M. Daugherty. Some of the topics addressed include women’s suffrage, Prohibition, the League of Nations, African American representation and issues, and lingering peace negotiations following World War I

Optimal Grazing Termination Date for Dual-Purpose Winter Wheat Production
No full textDual-purpose winter wheat (fall-winter forage plus grain) production is an important economic enterprise in the southern Great Plains. Grazing termination to enable grain production is a critical decision. The objective is to determine the optimal grazing termination date for dual-purpose wheat. The value of knowing the occurrence of first hollow stem (FHS), a wheat growth threshold for grazing termination, is also determined. Results indicate that for most price situations grazing should be terminated at or before FHS. Marginal wheat returns from extended grazing were negative and the value of FHS information ranges from 10 per acre.dual-purpose, first hollow stem, plateau function, stocker cattle, value of information, wheat, Agribusiness, Agricultural Finance, Crop Production/Industries, Farm Management, Land Economics/Use, Livestock Production/Industries, Production Economics, Q12, Q16,
