cutting tho salad crop, and that they
seemed 10 prefer these plants to any
other spctIes OF the cabbage family.
This observation led US to ptirposely
leave turnlp plants as trap crop Tor
the early or spring generation OF the
bugs. and after they had all settled down
on the tlirnip plants and deposited their
eggs, we then moved down the tu irTnp

had an object lesson this year on pros

their immediate good effect. We have
but very little wheat TO export from

Our people have long paid the high

cause they believed that the prosperity
OF the consumer Of agricultural prod
ucts in this country was necessary to
the prosperity of the producer of those
products. They looked upon the tarin
simply as an indirect benefit 10 them.

Neighbors Strong for Roosevelt.

President R0osevelt's neighbors in

the greatest refutation Of the Demo

unsafe" man. Opposition orators used
to tell voters that # they really knew
the man they would be afraid OF his

pie, as a class, really knew the Presi-
dent. they must be those who have
lived for years near the President be-

what they thought is shown by the oni-
ciaI record. just made public, OF the re-
suit Of the election in thar county.
Nassau county is normally about 800

votes. the largest plurality ever given
a President there. This result shows that
