of spring-tooth harrow. The piece
was planted about the middle of May

placed 1871 inches apart, and the rows
three feet apart. Twelve hundred
pounds of 'BraGley's Potato Manure"

means of the hoe attachment the tops
were buried. After this they were cul

until they were too large for this treat

with the Bordeaux mixture, using a

A Democratic Mayor for Portland

Major j. p. Baxter was defeated for a

cratic opponent, Was elected by a
plurality of 2l2 ON the face of the of
fetal returns.
Mr., Clifford was defeated. year ago,
by 1927 votes. The vote was:
Nathan Clifford, Dem 1861; James Z.
Baxter, Rep 1929; Nelson Il Lord
Soc. 354
The Republicans, however, will still
remain in control of both branches of
the city government, electipg seven of
the nine aldermen and u of the u
members of the common council The
Democrats carried four of the wards
for Clifford and elected their entire
ticket in wards and 4 which usually
go Democratic
Mr.. Clifford is the first Democratic
mayor of Portland in y years.
The vote was unusually heavy; the
total being 2900 larger than last year
and 1000 larger than two years ago
The results of the election are said to
be due indirectly to the effect of the
Sturgis bill passed by the last Leeisls-
ture providing for the strict enforcement
of the Prohibitory law; to the closing of
the city liquor agency after seizure by
the sheriff's department, objection to
long tenure in Office which the present
administration has enjoyed, and the
condition of the streets, several of the
most important of which were torn up
during a large part of the summer
The aldermen elected were, by wards
as follows:

George A. Dow, Antony A. Frates, Ed
win P Cummings, Jed F. Tanning.
