Campaigning
BECOMING MORE ACTIVE

BECOMING MORE ACTIVE

Boston, Oct. Ex-Governor Foss, not
withstanding his outward optimism, is
evidently becoming little alarmed over
his prospects In no other way can
his second hurried trip to the Berk-
shires, coupled with the announcement
that he may go there agan before cleo
ton day, be accounted for.
Furthermore, there are evidences that
Republicans who have been off, for
several years are coming back into line
to help redeem the state Indeed, some
OF those who have been the most dis
gruntled are showing the greatest ae-
tivity for rockingham now. Not only
il this true OF the west, but it applies
TO the situation throughout the com
monwealth.
Foss is not going to get the solid
Republican farmers vote as reward
for vetoing the Ellis milk bill. 1t is
true that he will get some OF that
class Of votes that he would not have
had he signed it, but not all farmers,
however, are milk producers.
Foss' managers attempt to have Seav-
er's name thrown oil the official ballot
as Labor" candidate for governor IS
another evidence that they do not like
the looks of things The state ballot
law commission is now considering that
matter The governors trouble with I'M
ion labor over his garage and his women
eore-workers will lose him part Of
the labor vote this year. The breaking
Of his promise to railroad employees not
to Dust White from the railroad COM
missionership viii cost him several
thousand votes
But the Republicans must not think
that they are going 10 have walkover.
The Foss cohorts have gotten busy dur
ing the last week and they will con-
tinue from now on. The Republicans
will have to fight desperate and tricky
foe Foss has got the fight of his life
on his hands II he doesn't know it,
his friends do, and will govern them
selves accordingly. The Republicans
must not be overconfdent, but must
hammer away day and night
Walsh's success on the stump is the
feature of the Democratic campaign.
Everywhere the lieutenant governor can
didate is arousing more enthusiasm, re-
ceiving heartier applause and making
better speeches than the head of the
ticket. Luce will have to look out for
Walsh, whom the liquor interests will
try to elect.

HITCHCOCK CHARGED WITH
FOSTERING A MONOPOLY
Cutler Mail Chute Company Is
Favored by Department, De-
CIareS a Rival
~ RAnpH snrrrH.

WASHINGTON. d. c., June 16-The
committee on expenditures in the post
office department today heard testimony
to the effect that Postmaster General
Hitchcock, In his ECONOMY scheme" is
fostering a monopoly i'm favor of the
Cutler Mail Chute company.
Edwin Fairfax Naulty. president of a
rival chute company, gave the testi-
mony.
He charges that for years the depart
ment has Disseminated against the
Naulty chutes and has refused to allow
competition for bids for chutes for pub
lie buildings and postoffices. Private
builders are always advised that the
Cutler chute is preferred by the depart
ment.
Naulty also charged Hitchcock with
suppressing an official order of former
Postmaster General Cortelyou in which
the Naulty chute was given official re-
cognition and standing.
THE mail chutes for use in postoffices
and other public buildings are private
ly purchased declared Naulty. and
they are paid for out Of the appropria-
tion for such buildings without any
competitive bids whatever" According
to Naulty the favored Cutler company
is controlled by James G. Cutler, for
mer Republican mayor of Rochester. N.
Y.
1.-THE Cortelyol order" said Mr.. Maui
ty, was suppressed by Mr., Hitchcock
and his subordinates, and the harm it
did the Naulty Mail Chute company is
easily understood. If we went to a
builder and proposed to install Naulty
chute, we were asked If it had the de-
partment's approval When we replied
in the affirmative we were asked why
has not the approval been published in
the official bulletin, then?'
Mr. Naulty told the committee that
a Naulty chute had operated satisfac-
torily in numerous buildings in various
cities for a number of years, but. de-
spite this. he said, his company is not
allowed to submit bids for chutes in
public buildings
If we are lucky enough to secure a
contract for private building" con-
tinued Naulty. 'the bond exacted by
the postoffice department is excessive
and we are forced to have the approval
of a surety company recognized by the
department. The department accepts
Cutters own bond and under the monop-
oily granted by the postofice department
the Cutler concern has become a $2,000,OO
corporation"

that can pillow under in January or
February and then later plant the same
land in cotton. / propose to rotate my
land as follows: First year, 1911, in oats
to be followed by some crop to be plowed
under in spring of 1912. In 1912, in cot
ton; 1913 in corn; and fall of 1918 in
oats again. What do you think of this
plan.
BY all means rotate your land as this
is the most certain way of increasing
the supply of vegetable matter in the
soil and givinS permanency to the fer
tility of your land. Probably the best
crop which you can grow in the autumn
after the peas and. sorghum would be the
hairy yetch or crimson clover A light
seeding of oats with the vetch is often
desirable, though not so necessary with
crimson clover. The objection to the
use of the hairy vetch is found in the
fact that it does net make much growth
in the fall or early winter. The clover
on the other hand. makes quite a vigor-
Gus growth in the late part of the win
ter and early spring, and is little bet
ter adapted for TINS purpose by reason OF
the volume of green material 1t will pro-
duce early in the season for blowing I'M
der on land intended for corn. These are
both legumlnOuS crops ana VIII enrlch
the soil considerably by gathering nitro
gen from the air They will only give
their best results, however, on land
which is in fairly good physical condi-
ton and where the seed bed has been
carefully prepared This is especially
true of crimson clover. Sometimes the
land for these crops also needs inocula-
ton, but this is more often true of
crimson clover than with vetch. There
Is another vetch known as the Oregon
vetch which makes a vigorous growth
In the fall and winter. but It is not hardy
In your locality and a severe freeze will
often kill it out. 1t is a good idea to
mix the two vetches in equal proportions,
and If the season is favorable you will
have larger and earlier growth on the
land. On account Of the tendency of one
vetch to freeze out and the slow devel-
opment of the other, it is generally bet
ter to sow some oats, barley or rye
with this crop so If one be destroyed
there will still be something green to
cover the land, prevent washing and
erosion and add a considerable amount
of organic matter to the land when turn
ed under our plan of rotation is a gooo
one Bring all the legumes into it you
possibly can.
