A JOB WAITING FOR THEM.

A German authority on social and
economic problems has recently issued
statement in which he declares that
and teaching-are already full to over
flowing and advises German young
men to fit themselves for careers in
scientific agriculture. While conditions
In the old countries Of Europe do not
correspond in all respects with those
that prevail in the United States, 1t is
becoming more apparent every day
that the professions above referred to
are already full in this country, thou
sands Of professional men in cities
large and small all over the country re-
ceiving barely enough to make both
ends meet. On the other hand, the ag-
ricultural colleges Of the country do
not begin to turn out men fast enough
to supply the demand for experts In
the science Of animal husbandry. farm
crops, soils, dairying and forestry. The
greatest material problem Of the COM
ing years is going to be the feeding of
an ever increasing population. and the
young man who fits himself thoroughly
along any or several of the above spe-
cial lines, with view to ministering
to this great need, is sure to have
Job waiting for him when he IS quail
fed to handle it. We know of a num-
Der of cases where the above condition
seems to be realized and where prepa-
ration for life work is being made &C.

LOOK OUT FOR POOR SEED.

AOON WI COn TWIN 0GGOs
From reports that are coming from
various sections in the northern por-
ton Of the corn belt there is good rea-
son to believe that quite per cent Of
the seed corn which was secured the
past fall, even If picked before any
heavy freezes, Is entirely worthless,
the germ being dead or at least much
weakened in vitality. We know of one
case where seed was secured early in
October and dried out thoroughly in
the house, but on examination proved
to be virtually worthless for seed pur
poses. The corn had not matured as
it should, the cob souring and destroy
ing the vitality Of the seed. In cases
where this condition of affairs Is sus-
pected. and it will be good horse
sense to do It whether 1t Is suspected
or not, a careful test should be made
right away Of the corn that is intended
for next years seed. This should be
done in such way that there will be
an exact showing Of six kernels, three
from each side, from each ear OF corn.
It is dead sure thing that If such
corn does not make satisfactory
showing in the testing box in January
It is not going to pick up any between
now and May 1. If such test shows
the corn unsatisfactory, plans should be
made for securing supply Of seed,
preferably from some near neighbor
whose supply is sound and Of strong
vitality. In case seed corn must be Or
dered from a distance 1t should be got
from a grower living north and not
south of ones latitude and should al
ways be ordered in the ear. SO that it
can be subjected to careful test be-
fore it Is planted. We do not remem-
Der season in the past fifteen years
when the seed corn question has been
more perplexing or Of more conse-
quence than 1t is this. The fellow who
leaves it till the last minute and trusts
to luck for n stand Of corn will quite
likely get left and next fall complain
that the fates are against him.

Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1908-07-11

In the platform to be adopted by
the Denver convention the advices
are that it will be conservative but
strong and acceptable to everyone
worthy of the name of Democrat. 1t
will be strong in its declarations
against graft, trusts, government by
Office holders and other vices of the
Republican party and conservative in
the reforms which will be urged, but
the principal plank in the platform
will be that of the tariff and upon this
issue mainly the fight is to be made
for Democratic success. The rec
cancellations on that question, which
will be adopted by the convention,
are as follows:
eve welcome the belated promise
of tariff reform, now offered by the
Republican party as tardy recogni-
ton of the righteousness of the Demo
cratic position on this question, but
the people cannot safely intrust the
execution of this important work to a
party which is so obligated to the
highly protected interests that it post
pones relief until after the election.
And we call attention to the signif-
cant fact that the promise now made
is wholly vitiated by the use of the
qualifying words under which the
present tariff iniquities have been
fostered and developed.
1--WE favor an immediate revision Of
tue tariff by the reduction of import
duties. Articles entering into COM
petition with articles controlled by
trusts should be placed upon the free
list; material reductions should be
made in the tariff upon the necessities
of life, and especially on articles com
peting with such American manufac-
lures as are sold abroad cheaper than
at home, and graduated reductions
should be made in such other sche-
dulles as may be necessary to restore
the tariff to revenue basis.
every consideration of public pol
icy suggests the conservation Of our
arid lands and the removal of those
import duties which put a premium
upon the destruction of our forests,
existing duties having been to paper
e. IL, Il h0l L sol,
they have organized combinations to
raise the price Of pulp and of paper
and to impose more tax upon knowl-
edge.
"We therefore demand the imme-
date repeal of the tariff on wood
pulp, print paper, lumber, logs, wood
and timber, placing the same on the
free list"

Saturday, July II, 1908.

The twentieth national convention OF
the Democratic party to nominate can
didates for President and Vice-Presl-
dent of the United States, in session at
Denver since Tuesday, had not, accord
ing to our latest advices, nominated
the standard bearer of the party but
there is no question as to what the re-
suit will be in the selection of the
nominee for the first place on the
ticket. If anyone, at all posted as to
the political affairs of the country, has
for months ever doubted the result,
that doubt has been removed by every
step in the proceedings of the cOnven-
ton reported since the convention was
called to order. All the advices, in
fact, received from the convention since
it first met have been to the effect,
that Mr.. Bryan has absolute control
of the convention and not only will be
the nominee of his party but can name
his running mate and prevent the in
PRODUCTION of any plank in the platform,
not in accord entirely with his views
and wishes. So absolutely is the con-
vention under his control and subject
to his will, that the mere mention OF
his name is only needed to create a
demonstration in his favor beyond the
control of the officers of the cOnven-
ton. All precedents in this respect,
indeed, were broken on Wednesday in
a demonstration started in this way
which lasted for one hour and twenty
seven minutes, 40 minutes longer than
the Roosevelt one at Chicago-and the
demonstration is reported, as spon-
taneous as it was prolonged and left no
doubt as to the sentiment of the con-
vention.
The result will be, of course, as was
expected. The delegates were COM
missioned by the people, when. selected
in favor of Mr.. Bryan, and in the dis
charge of that duty, there was nothing
left for them to do but to obey in
structions and cast their votes for him,
and he is not only going to be nomina-
ted but will be elected President Of the
United States in November.

The Fourth at Greenbackville.

1t was all right! There was a good
crowd present, two good ball games,
the one in the morning being a crack
erjack, plenty to eat and drink (soft
only, and a free band to help us keep
up our patriotic order.
The weather was all that could be
desired, several light showers before
eight thirty in the morning having
laid the dust and helped the breeze to
cool the air.
The parade didn't amount to much
on account of want of proper organ
ization, but after it was over there
was fine game of ball between Ber-
lin and Greenbackville, resulting IN
favor of Berlin by to 3. While we
lost the game we felt as proud of our
BOYS as if they had won, for Berlin
had been shutting out all teams that
had crossed bats with them up to this
game and they saved themselves in
this game only by making two runs
in the last inning. The Berlin boys
came down with the expectation OF
an easy victory but they ran up
against big surprise, almost as big
one as the one that hit them in the
afternoon at Chincoteague when they
lost by 7 to 0. In the afternoon
Greenback beat Frankfort very easily
by 10 to 2 and the game was witnessed
bv more than thousand people. Both
the Berlin and Frankfort teams were
made up of very gentlemanly set OF
Young men and they made many
friends here by their excellent deport-
ment both on and off the field.
We were treated to some excellent
addresses at p. m, and Sp. M, but
the speaker that all were anxious to
hear, Mr.. John Rev, failed to show
up. Patriotic and other songs were
well rendered by picked choir OF
ladies and gentlemen and the Milford
band discoursed sweet music through
out the day.
There was live pigeon contest in
the afternoon but most of the pigeons
still live to be trapped again.
There was but little drinking indul-
ged in and no cases of drunkenness
or rowdyish behavior were noticeable.
