COMMITTEEMAN
JUGGLES BALLOTS

NEW YORK, May 10.-According to
the sworn testimony of George r.
Scrugham's chief assistant, the Inter
national Policy Holders Committees
manager considered it his duty in hand

ballots confided to the committees care
to vote those that were favorable to the
committees nominees and to "chloro-
form those that were not.
c. F. Darlington turned States evil
dence yesterday against his colleagues
Of the committee, who are charged,
like himself, with conspiracy.
Darlington gave damaging evidence
against Scrugham, accusing him of
having issued the instructions under
which thousands of ballots were ille-
gally altered and juggled by the at
taches of the International Committee.
According to Darlington, who was
Scrughams chief assistant. Scrugham
took the position that the international

act as agent in delivering to the insur-
ance companies ballots which had been
sent TO the committee, but which We're

Darlington testified that a lot Of such
administration ballots, which had been
brought to him by the girls who were
opening and inspecting the votes for

on his desk one day during the cam
paign, when Scrugham noticed them
and asked: What are you doing with
these"

While 1t is the duty of every home

PLUMP SEED PRODUCES BEST
Experiments Prove That They Possess
the Most Vitality.

So far as experiments go. the best
production of crops comes from plump
seeds. So much has been said and
the facts are backed by so many ex-
periments by farmers as well as by
scientists that it now seems almost
settled that plump seeds give much
larger yields than seeds that are not
so well filled out. The why is not yet
understood. 1t is fair to assume that
the bulk of the plump seed is COM
posed of starch, and that this starch
has no great value. But the pres
ence of the starch denotes energy,
for it is the material that makes en-
ergy when it is eaten or when it is
burned.
In the selection of seeds for any
kind of work on the farm the plump
est will probably give the best results.
The various tanning mills and sort
ing machines are helping the farmer
by taking out the small seeds. 1t has
been shown that wheat from plump
seeds yields about eight bushels per
acre more than wheat from shriveled
seed. and that the same was true for
large over small seeds. When broken
wheat seed has been used. the yield
has been as large as 35 bushels for
whole seed over the yields from the
broken seed. 1t therefore pays to
eliminate all small, shrunken and
broken seed.
What applies to wheat applies also
to every other kind of seed. remarks
Farmers Review. The really healthy
vigorous seed is plump. 1t has de-
veloped under the best conditions
Its parent plant had a good root
and great vigor. by which vigor
it was enabled to draw up from the
coil a large quantity of mineral food
and from the air large amount of
carbon and perhaps other elements
for food. 1t filled its leaves and its
cells with a mass of food that was
forced into the seed till it could con-
tain no more. As like produces like
this seed will in turn produce a plant
that is full of vigor, full of starch and
other material out of which to pro-
duce other seeds.
Out of the many crops grown on the
farm there is not one that should be
grown from inferior seed. This is the
beginning of the end of plant life
The farmer that seeks only to use
good seed and to produce the highest
kind of a plant is following in the
way that nature has marked out. He
will be able to accomplish more than
the man that pays no attention to his
seed but inasines that one kind of
seed is as good as another
