MAINE REMAINS DRY.
GOVERNOR AND COUNCIL AC.
CEPT CORRECTIONS IN VOTE.
Recount In Four Towns Keeps State
I'm Column OF COnstitutiOnally Dry
COmmOnwealths.

Augusta. Me-. Nov. 6.-Maine re.
tains constitutional prohibition. Gov
Plaisted and his council late tonight
decided TO accept the corrections in
the vote Of four towns cast in the
special election in September, thus
reversing the result as indicated or
the face Of the first official returns.
1t was found by comparison, how.
ever, that in some cases the figures OF
the town clerks were reversed from
their early returns. and in each case
the clerks claimed the error to be in
the official figures After hearings on
the subject, the governor and council
took the matter under consideration
and the result was the announcement
tonight that Maine retained constitu-
tional prohibition by 75S votes.
The liquor election held in Maine
September IL was one Of the closest
and most doubtful in the annals Of
liquor legislation In the United States,
and abounded in surprises and unex-
pected developments. The vote was
on the question Of repeating the con-
stitutional prohibition Of the liquor
traffic and turning 1t over to the leg
islature for settlement.
First returns from the election in
dicated that the State had receded
from Its position Of constitutional
prohibition. held for 81 years, and
had gone over into the local option
column.
First returns the first day indicated
a very close margain in favor Of the
wet" element. which was backing
the proposed repeal Of the constitu-
tional amendment which had kept the
State continually in the Statewide
dry column for ~ years.
Then on the second day came Q
surprise for all followers Of politics.
Returns seemed to show that the State
had rejected the proposal to repeal
the amendment and had kept its old
time status.
Followtng this came claims and
counter-claims. each side thinking it
had won the victory.
Finally the contest narrowed down
to a question OF how the vote Of four
towns should be counted. As original
ly turned in. this vote gavc the anti
prohibitionists slight majority. With
corrections the prohibitionists would
win. With the vote OF the four towns
thrown out entirely. ths prohibitlon-
ists would have won.
The action of the governor and his
council yesterday settled for q time
at least the question Of Statewide
constitutional prohibition In Maine In
favor Of the dry forces.

HEMP AS A WEED-KlLLER.

The United States Department of
Agriculture, tie various state expert
mental stations and college depart
ments of agIOnomy, are doing won
derful work in the matter of educat-
ing the farmer One of the latest an
nouncements Is the discovery of an
effective method for suppressing
weeds without resorting to- the labor
Gus process of hand-pulling.
The Agricultural Department of the
University of Wisconsin, while con-
Quoting a series of tests in hemp
growing, found that the crops great
est usefulness was in eradicating
weeds Some of the experimental
plats this year on land worked by the
university were badly infected with
quack grass, Canada thistles, wild
mustard and other deep-rooted weeds
These plats were sown in hemp,
which grew to a height of 10 or -
feet. 1t may have been the rank
growth of the hemp Or the depriva,
ton of sunlight, but when the Land
moved, it was found that nearly all of
the weed roots had been killed. A
university bulletin makes the an
nouncement of the facts in tire case,
and adds that weedy ground does not
affect the growth of hemp.
But the most important fact in
connection with the matter is that it
pays to grow hemp-at least in Wis
consin, so that the farmer can get
profit from his land at the same time
he is getting rid Of one of his worst
enemies On a four-acre field about
1000 pounds of fiber. were secured.
The fiber brings seven cents a pound
or $40 an acre, and the labor of pro-
ducing it costs about $50, leaving a
balance of $40.
