BINGHAMPTON,N n. Y, Oct. 24.-The
study of scientific farming at close
range kept Theodore Roosevelt busy
most Of the time today. He rode 80
miles in an automobile to inspect aban-
doned farms Of this section of the
state, beginning at Ithaca and ending
at Binghampton, and decided that a
farmer who goes about it in the right
way can make good living from land
now going TO waste.
Colonel Roosevelt also made three
speeches for the Republican state ticket.
The new point which he emphasized in
these speeches was his declaration that
John A. Dix, Democratic candidate for
governor, had been director Of the So
called 'wall paper trust' for eighteen
months, in spite of Mr.. Di1's statement
of last Saturday TO the contrary.
When Colonel Roosevelt arrived at
Ithaca early in the day, Representative
John Dwight, Professor l.. ii. Bailey Of
ro, an expert from the agricultural de-
partmcut, took him to breakfast.
Opens Fire on Dix.
Colonel Roosevelt appeared on the bal.
cony Of the hotel and began his speech
that while Mr.. Dix became a director
of the Standard Wall Paper company
in June, 1907, the final decision dcclar
ing the wall paper combine illegal was
not rendered by the supreme court I'M
til February, 1909.
Mr., Dix, he said, either did not know
what his company was doing, or else he
was not frank i'll his statements about
the matter.
Then the day s rido was started. The
! first stop was made at the farm OF
James Sbcklers, fourteen miles from
Ithaca. Mr.. Monro showed the co1one
land which a few years ago had beer
regarded as virtually useless and which
he said now produced 300 bushels oi
potatoes TO the acre. Secretary Wilson
of the department of agriculture sent
Mr. Mouro into New York state three
years ago, with the result that 300t
acres arc being cultured under his di
rections in the Connection hills, and at
much more in the Irish hills nearby.
