SQUIRRELS HURT THE CROPS
Maine Farmers Turn Upon Little Pets
Of Law and Want "Pesky
Things" Exts rrNinated.

Lewiston, Me.-The State OF Maine
ia overrun with gray squirrels, ac-
cording to reports received at the
office of the Commissioners Of Inland
Fisheries and Game. Thousands OF
dollars worth of damage has been
done to the crops and in some places
whole cornhelds have been completely
destroyed. Farmers are flooding the
office of Chairman Bracket OF the
Fish and Game Commission with pc
titions asking for protectios.
Two years ago a state law was
passed making 1t Illegal to hunt and
kill gray squirrels. AS a result the
squirrels have multiplied rapidly and
have become tame and destructive.
Until the special law was passed gray
squirrels were classed as game ami
mails" and each fall were hunted by
the gunners. The farmers who two
years ago petltioned the legislature to
pass a law to protect the little pets"
now have their dander up and declare
they want every one of the "pesky
things" killed on. In some instances
the farmers have defied the law and
with loaded guns have watched their
cornfields from early day until late
at night.
The Commissioners OF Inland Fish
cries and Game have promised to do
everything in their power TO have the
law repealed at the next session OF
the legislature.

NEW SCIENCE OF FERTILIZATION

After much experimentation, DIR. G..
Earp-Thomas of Bloomfield, n. j., has
carried the art of cultivating and pre-
serving bacteria 10 point where
every farmer in the country can make
use of pure bottled bacteria. alive and
ready for use, which he feeds to his
seeds before planting, instead of work
ing expensive nitrogen fertilizer into
the ground. 1t is claimed til, at the bac-
terra on good crop will thoroughly
fertilize the ground for at least three
years without reinoculation. DR.. carp
Thomas collects healthy bacteria
wherever he can find them already
flourishing, takes them to his labora-
tory, puts them in glass jars with a
gelatinous plant food and legume
seeds. and tests their power under
scientific conditions. There he can
watch the formation of the nodules on
the roots and select only the healthiest
bacteria for distribution. Further in
teresting particulars of the process
are given by Katherine Newbold Bird
sail In an article in Harper's Weekly
as follows:
In preparing the bacteria for farm
and garden use, a needle is thrust into
this pure breed of bacteria, and comes
out laden with thousands of them
These are quickly transferred to
another bottle containing bed Of
Jelly, which preserves the bacteria for
years. The neck of the bottle and
needle are, during the process, passed
through flame to destroy any foreign
substance. The bottle is corked with
a patent rubber cork through which a
glass tube runs, SO that air can reach
the bacteria. The tube is stopped
with cotton, which prevents the en-

trance of foreign germs. In this bottle
millions of bacteria breed. exerting
themselves to absorb nitrogen from
the air which filters in through the
cotton. The jelly contains no nitrogen
the bacteria work to get it from the
air and so keep healthfui and active.
The jelly soon becomes alive with
bacteria. and the farmer can get his
nitrogen fertilizer for all the clovers,
all the beans, all the peas, alfalfa
all the vetches and peanuts differ,
ent kind of bacteria for each, which
can be purchased, like medicine, by
the bottle. Pure cultures OF active,
vigorous nitrogen-gathering bacteria,
which need simply to be mixed with
sugar and little water to be shaken
well and poured on tie seed before
planting. cost less than $500 per acre.
This process entails no waste for val
able time, no expensive nitrogen fer
t-.izer, but instead a maximum of
benefit 10 the present crop and Inn
provement to the soil for years to
come WITH a minimum of expense and

airy chairman of the convention reens-
ed to so much as mention the name
of President Taft. The thousands
who heard his speech insisted that he
should do so and for ten or fifteen
minutes prevented him from con-
tinuing his remarks, all the time max
ing the coliseum ring with shouts of
Taft Taft" Senator Dolliver
failed to mention the name of Taft.
Insurgents refused to join in the dem
onstration for President Taft when
his portrait was raised in the conyen-
ton hall and some went even SO TAR
as to hiss. Insurgents attempted to
stampede the convention for Roose-
welt and made every possible effort to
discredit the President. Never be-
fore in the history of the nation has
section of party denounced and
discredited the party as did the in
surgents of Iowa. It was pre-arranged
and all in the interest of Cummins.
1t now remains to be seen whether
the Republicans of Iowa and of the
nation will follow the leadership of
Senator Cummins. So far as the
Herald is concerned it will never
give it's endorsement to insurgency
and it proposes to fight insurgency
to the very last. The Herald re,

Low Water in the Mississippi.

Interview in Des Moines Register and
Leader: The Mississippi river is the
lowest it has been in the memory of
old river men, said T. J. Hammond,
who has recently from Burlington,
Iowa. Il was told last week while in
Burlington that some of the small
river packet steamboats, had been fore
ed to remain idle because the river is
not navigable in many places between
Burlington and Davenport. At one
place between Burlington and Fort
Madison Just above Polk island
the water is less than five feet deep
in the channel None Of the large
river steam boats are running Trans
portation and traffic is at standstill
on the upper river. Old river men say
that the water is nearly a foot lower
than it was back in the sixties when it
was thought that the water would
never go lower. believe that the time
is coming when rivers will dry up and
there will be no water When I see
the Mississippi river so shallow dur
ing tire summer months / can
never believe that the Des Moines
river can be made navigable''

Col. ". P. Hepburn was lromi-
nent figure in the recent Republican
state convention. The Sioux City
Journal has this editorial reference
to him and the treatment he re-
ceived:
Colonel Hepburn was not well re
ceived by the insurgent majority OF
the Des Moines convention AS a
member of the resolutions committee
he submitted brief minority report
signed by five out of the eleven mem
bers of that committee. He under
took no speech in support of the
proposition he offered. He is an old
man, to be sure, but of his ability to
make a strong speech not a.delegate
in the convention had a shadow of
doubt. He has long record of pub
lie service, military and civil. He
was entitled on his own account to
fair play. 1t was not convention
willing to listen TO the other side.

and will not be found at any time
supporting insurgency as represented
by Cummins and Dolliver.
In our opinion there is as much
difference today between insurgents
and progressives as there is between
day and night. There are many
things in the progressive Republican,
the man who never forgets that he is
a Republican, and who is Republican
first and progressive afterward to be
admired and commended But the in
surgent is one to be feared as men
ace. not alone to the Republican
party, but to the nation, and the soon
er he is dispatched the better it will
be for the welfare and common good
of the nation. And it was insurgency
that dominated the convention this
week.

The Iowa Admiration Society.

Minneapolis Journal. The Republi-
can party of Iowa appears to have
been temporarily turned into an adj
miration society for the senators
from that state. Senator Cummins
presided over the state convention as
temporary chairman. Then he re-
signed the gavel to Senator Dolliyer
as permanent chairman. Each sena.
tor made speech, in which he laud-
ed the other Then conformity they
named resolutions committee which
by majority of one lauded them
both.
Naturally enough, with so much To-
cal eulogy to work off. there was no
room for the President of the Unit
ed States, who is said to belong to
the same political party as the sena-
tors. He is not mentioned by name,
while of the local heroes the plat
form says: They (the Republicans
of Iowa. commend to the nation the
type of craftsmanship exhibited by
Senators Dolliver and Cummins."
Furthermore, they assert that the eff
forts of these senators toe.protect the
public rights from the greed of spe-
cial interest has gained the admira-
ton of the country" 1t has. but not
more SO than has the modesty Of the
senators in their personally conduct
ed convention in stating their claims
to eternal fame and to the gratitude
OF helpless people, saved by their
bright Excalibur.
There is a great deal of radical
noise in this Iowa platform. There is
also some progressive sense in it.
The Republican party cannot go back
of its pledges, and if there is any leg
islation of the party which falls
short of those pledges, the issue is
not settled in the party until the
pledges are fulfilled. This is the real
progressive movement in the Repub-
]ican party But 1t is not so narrow
movement that all Republicans are
not needed to help it along.

When the wintry weather returned
last April and May c. E. Mincer of
Hamburg, Iowa, large fruit grower,
had more than 1000 fire-pots going
night and day and maintained safe
temperature in his orchard while ice
was forming an inch thick in fields
and orchards around BIN. He had
equipped himself with $4,000 gallons OF
crude oil. deposited it in an under
ground reservoir OH a hillside and
piped 1t into his orchard so that the
fire-pots could be replenished with the
least possible delay. AS result of

! for and finally secured the tariff
commission. which the Republicans
LOT Iowa Endorsed, but he is not nam
ed in that connection.
President TAFT, in luminous mes
sage, stated the principles of new
railroad legislation. But it appears
that the Iowa senators amended the
Dill, hence they are the fathers OF all
the good in it. and the President is
an outcast.
President Taft insisted upon and
secured the passage of a postal saw
lngs bank bill, which Senator Cum
minis tried to defeat, but the Presi-
dent is cast out of the Iowa Republic
can platform while Mr.. Cummins di-
yldes with the Democratic platform
OF Ottumwa the credit of savings
bank legislation.
The Republican platform of Iowa
is not SO bad however, in letter as it
us in spirit. 1t breathes nothing but
glorification of the senators. while it
coldly ignores the national admins
tration and by negation attacks the
President. The Iowa senators have
become obsessed with an idea of
their own Importance. They have be-
come bad party leaders, because they
no longer lead, but drive. The honest,
sincere progressive movement can
not be assisted by such shortsighted
tactics.
The fact is that the progressive
movement has as much to fear from
the rabid radicals who have seized
upoa it to forward their own ideas as
from the ultra-reactionists of the
regular stripe. 1t behooves the sane
and sensible conservatives of both
factions to get together and rescue
the progressive movement from its
loud-talking and self-seeking friends.
The principles of the movement are
OF the highest moment They de-
serve to be and must be crystalized
IN law. But are not the progressives
of Iowa In danger of losing sight OF
principles in their adulation of men?
The movement is bigger and better.
than Cummins and Dolliver. It de-
serves to be put on higher plane
than the personal one they have
chosen for it in Iowa
