Editorial Comment.
Alfalfa in New England.
(New York Globe and Commercial Ad-
uortiSart


(Ncw York Globe and Commercial Ad-
vertiser)
Alfalfa is coming, or, more exactly,
being brought, to the rescue of New
England's abandoned farms. The last
agricultural bulletin of the Maine Cen
trail railroad tells the story This cor
poration, with a far-sighted self-inter
est. is doing everything it can to help
it's agricultural neighbors. and one of
it's efforts in this direction has taken
the shape of monthly agricultural
bulletin.
The New Hampshire state farm, near
Concord. was the scene of the alfalfa
experiment described in the bulletin.
A. light, sandy soil was, after fertiliza-
ton and nitrification, sOwn to alfalfa
last spring. Between July 8, when the
first crop was cut, and the last cut
ing on Sept. s, total Of four and
half tons to the acre was harvested.
Eleven days after the last cutting a
fourth was we'll under way At one
time during the summer the alfalfa
stalks grew. by actual measurement,
eighteen inches in fourteen days. or at
the rate of nearly an inch and third
per day.
Alfalfa is admittedly one of the best
forage plants possessed by the farmer
It's extreme value to dairymen and
stock raisers is unquestioned. If the
New England farms by reasonable fer
tilization can be made to produce such
phenomenal Yields as that above de-
scribed. or anything like such Yields,
their repopulation seems assured.

Massachusetts, Republicans.
(UNx-anino E-vnrocc

The platform adopted by the Massa-
chusetts Republicans yesterday is
likely to commend itself to Republi-
cans everywhere, and to add not ii
little to the strength of the ticket in
the old commonwealth.
The one departure from established
Republican lines is the resolution ia
voring tile permanent tariff commits
sion. whose business it will be to re-
port to Congress such changes in
schedules as may from time to time
seem to it necessary and desirable, in
order that revision hereafter may be
OF Il less general character than it has
been in the past. This new tariff pro-
gram now seems to be coming in ia
vor with Republicans in many parts
OF the country. 1t is President Tafts
idea and has been adopted already in
so many quarters as to make it almost
othodox Republican theory.
There is much to be said both for
and against this method of tariff re-
vision. On the one hand business will
never be entirely relieved from uncer-
tainty under its operation, for no one
can know this month what changes
mcnded next. On the other hand. in a
general tariff revision there are always
inequalities and in order that these
may be corrected it will not be neces-
sary to take the props out from under
all the business structure.
Republicans generally seem to be
coming to the conclusion that such
system will result in fewer evils than
come from general revisions, which
often are disastrous to business for So
long period of time. The harmoni-
Gus denomination of Governor Draper,
the adoption of a platform which.
while it goes far enough perhaps to
satisfy the prOgressives, is not so rad
1cal as to antagonize the conservative
element of the party. together with the
unseemiy row which characterized the
Democratic convention. ought to be
forerunner of Republican victory in

Lessons of Minnesota's Forest Fires.

We note with pleasure that the for
est fires in the Rainy River region of
Minnesota have spent their fury. The
homes of several thousand people have
been destroyed. aud the lives of more
than one hundred lost. But with the
flames receding. and the courage of
the fire fighters gaining the worst is
believed over. Minnesota has been
working against heavy odds. and was
handicapped in the best method of
fighting fire (Which is prevention) by
niggardly appropriations. With such
small sum as was at his command. the
forest commissioner of Minnesota has
done the best he could. but the willing
ness of legislators to gamble on the
proba bilities of plentiful rain has cost
many millions of dollars. and many
scores of lives.
The appalling story from the. fire
scenes of Minnesota, which Seem so
much nearer home to us than those
in the far northwest, ought to serve
as a timely warning to our law
makers to provide funds with which
to secure every prevention possible
