Mccall on Tariff Revision.

3 The Outlook for Tariff he
FORM" is the subject discussed by
Congressman Mccall of Massa-
chusetts in a spirited and candid
article in The Century for Octo-
Der; 1t may surprise Mr.. Bryan.
who called Taft "a great post
poner" because he declared it in
advisable to undertake tariff re-
vision between now and the next
presidential election, to learn that
Mr.. Mccall, who may always be
relied on to take thoroughly indie
pendent views. is also decidedly
of the opinion that revision should
be POSTPONED until after the cleo
ton in question.
1t is hardly necessary to say
that Mr.. Mccall favors thorough,
fair. nonpolitical overhauling of
the tariff. He holds that certain
schedules have outlived their USE
fulness and merely enable their
bene6ciaries to levy tribute on
consumers. He refers to the steel
duties. the duties on crude forms
of wood. the duties on coal, by
way Of illustration. but he is sat-
isfed that the whole tariff needs
revision from the standpoint of
moderate protection" And he
has no doubt that the campaign
against the grasping and vicious
trusts would be more fruitful if
the over protection some of them
are enjoying we're withdrawn
from them.
But, granting that revision is
necessary and desirable, how
should it be carried out and when
. Mr.. Mccall is not impressed by
the cry of disturbance to bust
ness" he makes the point. how.
ever, that in the interest of the
cause" itself, of justice and rea.
son in tariff revision, the task
should be postponed until after
the presidential election. Under
the most favorable circumstances,
be argues. tariff revision is apt to
be sufficiently POLITICAL, but "a
revision carried on in the throes
of presidential campaign would
b" likely to. be of the worst pos
sible character" as thu sought
for end would..be. lot the ultimate
good of the country. but the next
electoral vote" and the sched-
ules. wouldstecome mere footballs
between the.parties. "
But while,,such postponement is
deemed wise by Mr.. Mccall he
insists .that..the,, Republican party
should announce itself in its ma
tioral platform for immediate
revisionssin downward direction,
for a liberalization and moderni.
zation of the protective system III

conditions of the country.

CODVRA ON ALFALFA.
Kansas Expert Writes Of Adulteratlng
the Seed.

The contribution of T. D. Co.
burn to the alfalfa symposium OF
be Shawnee County Alfalfa club
was a discussion of the alfalfa
seed question. Mr.. Coburn gave
some very interesting facts and
figures about the methods of adul-
terating alfalfa seed.
Mr.. Cobur1 communication to
the Alfalfa club was in the form
of a letter, and the letter is en-
bodied in a bulletin issued today
by the agricultural department.
1t is as follows:
Il can render alfalfa growers
no better service in one brief
communication than urge upon
them. with emphasis, the utmost
caution and painstaking in secur-
ing and sowing none but the
hignhest quality of seed. This
quality means not only seed de-
monstrated as 80 or more per cent
germinable, but free from the
authorizations and impurities like
" to be found present, most fire.

lessness, but often from design,
and sometimes from both. Alial-
ia seed is expensive at best, and
doubly or trebly so if it will not

quantities of other seeds which
stock field, a farm or neighbor.
hood with weed pests that inter-
fere with or crowd out the alfalfa,
displace expected profit with posi-
tive loss, and provoke profanity.
Recognizing the fact that
much of the seed on sale is entire.
ly unreliable. the agricultural de.
partmeDt at Washington. and
some of the more wide awake ex.
pertinent stations. have been max.
ing tests to discover the defe cts
and values of seed ordinarily
found in the market, and some
startling revelations are the re
suit. The Washington investiga-
tors for example found in one
pound of socalled alfalfa seed or
sale, 32,420 noxious weed seeds
in another 80. OS2, and in still an
other 81, 848. Of the first nance
pound less than SO per cent was
alfalfa; less than 20 per cent was
germinable, and among it.
Impurities we're $3.50 seeds O
dodder surely the devils owl
invention. One pound of another
lot contained only a fraction over
5 per cent that would grow, anC
of a third lot but slightly over {
per cent.
The Ohio station bought fol-
testing~..15 different samples,
dollars worth each. A pound
from one of these carried 1914
lambs quarter or pigweed seeds.
and another 6.420 seeds of crab
grass and 1895 of foxta.l. Seec
supposedly costing $3.50 pei
bushel was, when cleaned, founC
to have cost actually S1.274 pei
bushel.
The Oklahoma station, among
many samples, tested one having
60 per cent pure seed and 40 pei
cent of impurities. Only 65 pei
cent was germinable. Another
sample which at first sight would
be classified as good was found to
contain per pound 453 witch grass
seeds, 80 plaDtain seeds, Isl
crab grass seeds, 80 wild carrot
seeds, 453 foxtail seeds and Is
Russian thistle seeds. As the
official who made this test Says. if
