FARMERS FIELD DAY.
There VIII be Agricultural Institutes
at Orono this Year

There VIII be Agricultural Institutes
at Orono this Year.
Farmers "field day" at Orono has been
successful in the past, and drawn large
attendance. When the observance OF the
day was begun it was hoped that 1t might
be found practicable to give agricultural
instruction in connection with 1t, and for
this purpose lectures were arranged.
With the whole plant OF the agricultural
and experiment station on exhibition 1t
was found that practically every one used
the time in looking about, and did not
care to attend the lectures.
In order to bring field day back to its
original purpose, 1t has been decided to try
the experiment this year OF devoting four
days to agricultural institutes. These will
be held the week after commencement,
beginning Tuesday, June 10, and extend
ing through Friday, June %. One day OF
the four will be devoted to each of the
following subjects: "Orcharding and
Spraying "Crop and Crop Production -
Management OF the Dairy Herd !" "Sheep
and Poultry"
There will be lectures and practical
demonstrations from about 10 in the
morning to in the afternoon of each day
Preceding and following these hours tools
and machinery will be exhibited. The
whole agricultural plant of the university
Will be on exhibition.

THE SUBSIDY BILL

Neither reason advanced by several
leaders in congress for adjourum2n,
without passing the shipping bill is
creditable to them or satisfying to the
people Our shipping in the foreign
trade has not been s6 small In sixty
years as now-our foreign eommeroe
was never greater than now, rhe hrst,
under free trade, has shrivelcd; the
other under protection, has expanded.
To so legislate as to effect revival
OF our shipping equal to the full needs
Of our foreign commerce is an inn
perative congressional duty, alike rec
ognized by republicans wherever in
convention assembled, by the president
in his annual memssages to congress,
by great commercial organizations, by
the press and by the most intelligent
and patriotic of our people.
One reason given for deferring action
is that members OF congress desire TO
get home before the hot season sets
mas If that were reason for avoid
ing an imperative duty! the other rea-
son is that it is inexpedient to create
a new issue upon which democrats can
attack republicans-as II that were
reason for a party seeking the indorse-
ment Of the people! Democrats are
hopelessly divided on this subject. a
number intend to support the shipping
bill. The real timldity is with those
for postponement-the re-
publicans
What the people want is action. What
they are opposed to is the payment OF
$500 100000 a year to foreign ship own
ers for carrying American imports
and exports. What they will uphold is
the party that legislates to keep that
money at home, employing our own
people and giving this country the
strength it so woefully needs upon
the sea.
This matter has dragged along, un-
settled, for thirty-five years. This is
the year, and now is the time, to set
tie it. The republicans have pledged
over and over again and
year after year to restore to American
ships the carrying trade Of our for
eign commerce. Delay helps only for
only Injuries Americans.
The bill that will carry out republi-
can pledges, that conform to the pres
ident's recommendations. that has met
with the Endorsement Of the proper
in each branch Of congress,
now hangs on the calendars in each
house, awaiting consideration. Con-
gress cannot give either a creditable
or acceptable reason for longer defer
ring action

COUNTRY

II oregon's vote shows any falling
off for the republicans; If that party's
majority is wiped out or reduced in
the legislature through the defeat of
its regularly nominated candidates
tomorrow, such result will be heralded
the world over by the foreign and do
nestle enemies OF American expansion
as a DEFEAT Of that policy. Within
twelve hours the vote in oregon will be
as wen known by Aguinaldo as it will
be known by Bryan. 1t is idle. in a
crisis Ike that upon us, to talk of to-
morrow's election as a local" contest
We cannot help ourselves. so far as
its influence and effects in helping 10
decide questions of pational politics is
concerned, oregon's vote tomorrow, in
many respects. will be the most i'm
poiAdlN 10 ht SdSN ny any StdNt III Inc
Union this year. And aside from both
the willful and ignorant misconstruc-
ton liable to be placed on all phases
Of the contest, it is very shallow and
il-informed mind that overlooks the
tremendous Importance in national
and state affairs involved in tomor-
rows vote. As the oregonian has
pointed out, the decision of two United
States senatorial SUGGESTIONS depends
on that vote. Either one of these SEN
atorial SUGGESTIONS may decide in the
councils of the NATION the suprem-
acy or defeat of national policies. So
that oregon's vote tomorrow. in fact
and in truth, is a NATIONAL con-
TEST. 1t is not, therefore, a selec-
tion Of men, as some claim, but of
MEASURES. that is at stake. Every
republican should vote with a full
knowledge Of that fact. and due appre-
citation of its effect
