The reform of the tariff is Of course
an important issue, and in the present
campaign the leading one, but the
bloody fight between labor and capi-
tai in Pennsylvania brings home to
us the fact that there is another and
larger issue which must soon be set
tied. The moneyed man has his
rights and SO has the workingman,
and the proper adjustment of their
rights will call for. more statesman
ship in the near future than any other
problem that has confronted the peo-
pie of this Republic for many years.

DISTRIBUTION OF SEED.
How to Assure Rapid Growth and Goo
Yield of Crops.

How to Assure Rapid Growth and Good
Yield of Crops
The more evenly seed can be dis.
tributed over the surface the better the
growth and yield of crops. The fer
tliity and condition OF the soil must
determine the amount of seed that
must be used. On thin soil, if the
plants stand too close together, there
will not be IA sufficient amount of avail
able plant food to secure vigorous
growth.
One advantage with drill planting of
corn, potatoes and cane, and in fact all
cultivated crops is that the plants be-
ing more evenly distributed secure IL
better supply of plant food than if two
or three plants must draw their supply
from the same area.
With small grain crops like wheat,
oats, rye or buckwheat the seed must
be distributed evenly if the best results
are secured, as having some places
thin and other places thick will make
a difference in the growth and yield.
One Of the principal advantages in
using the drill or seeder in sowing small
grain or grass, and the planter or drill
with the cultivated crops is that the
seed will be distributed more evenly
than will be done by hand
Having the soil in good filth before
planting or sowing the seed will help
materially in securing good stand;
the seed will not only be distributed
more evenly but better termination
will also be secured. Having the soil
in good condition sowing the seed in
good season, taking pains to distribute
evenly and having seed of a good quail,
ity are all important items in securing
good stand, and the better this is
done the better the growth and yield
of the crop.
With all cultivated crops, in many
cases it is better to use plenty of seed
and thin out rather than to be obliged
to replant, but with all grass or small
grain seeds care should be taken only
to SOW the quantity it is desired to
have grow, provided of course that the
conditions are reasonably favorable, -
