WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 1910.
REMEMBER TIRE MAIN THINGS.

1t may be that We are little in
sistent and persistent in advising our
farmer friends--,or, as some people
are pleased to term It, In minding
other peoples busincss-but it seems
to us we have been making very
pertinent and important point, and
hence we hit at it again.
Tho point Is that the farmer
should plant plenty of corn this
spring, and SOW plenty Of corn and
peas, or peas and cane, or any good
crop that will bring good. heavy
harvest Of feed stuff for his stock,
and at the same time leave his land
in better shape than 1t was before the
crops were put in. We want to pay
more attention to diversihcation, ro-
tation Of crops, thorough preparation
before the crops are planted or sown,
and systematic and thorough cultiva-
tion after they are up and growing.
In other words, we want to drop
the extensive and adopt the inten.
sive mode Of farming. When we do
that we are going to succeed. and
until we do we are going to fail--to
n greater or less degree.
When this intensive system Is
finally adopted--and 1t Is coming rap
idly into use and general favor-we
are going to see a radical change in
conditions in this section of the coun-
tr,y Il
fair trial. If you are trying to culti-
Vate so much ground that you have
to neglect some Of II. you are farm
Ing on too extensive plan, and you
need to bring yourself down to the
intensive system. Take a good big
patch Of your wOrn-out land--ten
acres, Say--and SOW it down in clover
or some good pasture MIXTURE While
your cows are grazing on it the land
Is going to be doubling in fertility
without one cent OF cost to you. Take
the fertilizer you would have put on
your ten acres Of poor land and put
1T on your remaining acreage, in addi-
tion to your regular allowance Then
watch results. Next December you
will be not only a wiser man, but a
richer man "a we'll

BARRETT TO THE FARMERS.
Tells Of Fight Before Congress for
Enactment of Needed Measures.

Full into the broad glare OF pub
licity President C. S. Barrett, Of the
National Farmers Union, Is taking
the fight Of that organization to
rouse Congress to action on cherish
ed Farmers Union measures.
To each Representative and Sena-
tor he has written personal letter
inquir.ng his attitude on six leading
issues. Not stopping here, he has
made public this direct "line-up" of
Congress, accompanying 1t with a let
ter to members of his organization.
urging them to do less "resoliting"
and to use more postage stamps in
galvanizing their respective Repre-
sentativcs and Senator'S.
An interesting feature Of the state
ment that is given out by him is that
it aligns the Farmers Union sQuarely
against the proposed central bank.
TO the Farmers.
To the OR1cers and Members OF the
Farmers Union:
Let's give 'resoluting" in Farmers
Union conventions, that Is as regar rds
legislation, a rest for a little while,
and instead get behind Congress or
make 1t put into force so many OF the
resolutions we've passed.
! have been writing to the brethren
much along this line lately and now
in addition to getting in behind Con-
greSS personally, | am sending the
following letter to every Representa-
tive and Senator in Congress to as
certain their sentiment with regard
| 10 the measures we are passing.
This isn't the last letter I'm going
TO send, either. I'm going to write
III,
| ten. But the result OF this present
letter will be to lineup the Congress
men. from the biggest to the small
cst-~Rcpnblicans, Democrats. insur-
gents and the rest Of them.
| Brethren In national and State
| conventions are used to "reSOluting'
| before breakfast. between meals. and
| they even get up in the middle OF the
| night to "reSOlute' for or against
| some especial measure. Upon these
| occasions, harmony prevails as at a
| love feast, the dove settles down, and
| only rises when 1t Is scared by some
unusually fiery dcnunciation OF the
| farmers wrongs, Snch as are cmbOd-
| led in a resolution.
| We all agree on "reSOluting" Now
| let's put some Of the energy spent
| this way into getting Congress. as
| well as Farmers Union conventions.
to pass resolutions.
| Get in on the ground floor on these
measures by asking the candidate for
Congress how he thinks and stands
on them before you vote for him. II
! then he says Eyes" make him stick
to 1t II he's elected.
| Heres the letter every Senator and

Blanc, the government argued that
the girl. who had been intimate with
the murdered man, killed him in a fit
Of jealous anger. The defence directed
its efforts towards laying the crime
at Mrs. Gloyer's door. and claimed that
Hattie was the victim of conspiracy
tc shield the widow.
In the presentation of its case, the
prosecution was not allowed to refer
to the alleged declaration Of Glover
that Hattie LIE Blanc had shot him.

realize that he was upon his deathbed
and that, consequently, his words did
not constitute an ante-mortem state
ment. In her story of the shooting.
Hattie said that while she was in the
laundry with Glover, she heard a
noise like the rustic of woman's skirt
and this fact was presented by the
defence as evidence that Mrs. Glover
had surprised her husband and the
girl and had killed the man. Testi-
mony for the prosecution showed that
at the time Of the murder, Mrs. Glov-
er was having a long telephone con-
versation with a friend and to offset
this the defence presented witnesses
who swore they saw Mrs. Glover re-
turning from the, laundry on the night

HAS BANGOR FRIENDS.
Mr.. and Mrs. Camille Aucoin Acquaint-
ed With Hattie lie Blanc.

Bangor. Me, Dec. 14.-There are at
least two people In Bangor who are
watching with intense interest the
progress of the Hattie lie Blanc trial
in Cambridge. They are Mr.. and Mrs
Camille Aucoin, 17S York street. Mr..
Aucoin was born and brought up in the
little provincial village of West Ari-
chat, Cape Breton. having lived as
near neighbor to the LIE Blanc family.
Mrs. Aucoin lived. until coming to
Bangor, a few miles from West Rri-
chat. Both know the 17-year- old girl
who is now on trial for her life, and
both are positive that she could never
have committed the crime for which
she is being tried. Mr.. Aucoin stated
to the Commercial Tuesday that the
lie Blanc family was always known as
I perfectly respectable and exceeding
" reputable one, and that it would be
dlffcult to find a resident of the Cape
Breton town who believes for a mo-
ment that Hattie lie Blanc shot Clar-

CAPITAL JOTTINGS.

The question of the extent of the APP
pication of the eight-hour law in con-
nection with government public works
let to private contractors has again been
brought to the attention of the navy de-
partment. Prospective bidders for the
construction of the caissons for the dry
docks of the Pearl Harbor, Puget Sound,
and New York naval stations have asked
the department if the eight-hour law will
apply to this work. The docks are now
in process of building and on Dec % the
department will open bids for the con-
strnctiop of the caissons which close the
entrances to the docks. These, the pros
pective bidders say. will be built at their
works and the only labor performed at
the yard will be their installation. The
question raised is, does the eight-hour
law applying to public works extend to
these instances beyond the labor actual
ly performed in the navy yard. The de-
partment is of the opinion that it does
not. but has referred the question to At
torney General Wickersham for a legal
decision.
