pertinent, shows a balance Of 1894
in favor of drilling. The seasons
shown in this table were of such a
nature that little winter killing was
experienced. The fact that many Of
the plants in broadcast fields are root
ed too close to the surface, places
them in particular danger from win
ter killing il the snow blows OF and
they are subjected to severe freezing,
as is shown in the accompanying pho
tograph.
From the above data we can safely
calculate that drilled wheat is worth
an average of three dollars per acre
more than broadcast when figured over
several seasons
Depth of Planting.
The depth to plant seed is a sub
]ect that seems to be much misunder.
stood The fact that plants growing
entirely on the surface are injured
more than those placed an inch and a
half to two inches below does not
mean that deep planting is proof
against winter killing. When the seed
is planted deep it requires more time
for the shoot to reach the surface OF
the ground. The permanent root sys
tenn of the plant is sent out from the
upper shoot and no matter how deer
the seed is placed, this root system
will be thrown out at the top of the
moist soil, usually less than two inches
from the surface. Crops on the station
plats have given the best results when
placed just in the top of the moist
earth underneath the dust mulch made
In preparing the seed bed. This is
usually about III to inches below
the surface.

VISIT TO HIL0
TO BE CONSIDERED

No new business of Importance is
anticipated to come up at the quarter
ly meeting of the Merchants Associa-

mittees, which will be in order, may
contain interesting matters for discus
sion. A report of the associations
members of the joint committee on a
commercial building will be due,
which may lead to the presentation of
new ideas on that subject.
President A.. j. Gignoux said this
morning that the meeting would take
up the invitation of the Board of
Trade of Hilo to commercial confer
ence there in September. He .consid-
cred it very good scheme and hoped
the Association would show proper

pretty hard sometimes to get the mer-
chants away from their business, he
trusted that goodly number would
be able to visit Hilo on the occasion.

Nomination of Jerseyite Gives
the TAFT Leaders Very
Grave Concern
BY C. S. ALBERT.

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 3D.
The eventual selection by the Balti-
more convention of Governor Wood
row Wilson as the Democratic Presi-
Dental candidate Immediately gave
Mr.. Taft and all the Republican lead
ers grave concern. 1t was admittedly
tie strongest Ioin;natlol that could
have been made, and calculated to
prove the most menacing to Republic
can success. 1t at once became al
parent that hard fight is ahead and
the possibility of defeat is greater
than was anticipated.
After several conferences between
the President, Senator Crane and other
party warehouses; it was decided to be-
gin the work of looking up the record
of Governor Wilson. 1t was ascertain
ed that he has written many foolish
letters on all sorts of political TOPICS
and some of these will prove damag-
ing when spread broadcast during the
campaign. A search with a fine-tootl-
ed comb is now in progress to unearth
every scrap penned by Governor VIII
son which recorded opinions Oh which
he might now desire to, hedge or re-
main silent.
Labor Unions Against Wilson.
The chief objection to the selection
of Wilson comes from the labor or
CARNATIONS. They regard the Goverlo:.
as unfriendly to them and sought by
all possible means to prevent his nomi-
nation. They were unable 70 stem the
tide. The labor leaders have lot yet
announced formal antagonIsn to his
election but will go deeply into his rec
ord and seek to obtain assurances
from him that he will not oppose such
legislation as is demanded by the
workingmen.
For the same reason Governor
Thomas r. Marshall is likely To prove
a milestone on the Democratic ticket.
He is obnoxious to the labor leaders
i'll much greater degree than "A ilSon
The attitude assumed by Go Iernor
Marshall in the Mcnamara dynamiting
case did not suit the labor people and
he has since that time beer the sGb-
ject of severe criticism This feeling
of antipathy toward Marshall is ex-
pected to grow until he may prt.ve the
handicap that Whitelaw Reid did 20
Benjamin Harrison when he was re-
nominated for a second term by rne
Minneapolis convention and defeated
at the polls.
1t is considered certain that the
friends of Speaker Clark, will never at
tempt to punish Wilson because he
was nominated through the exeftions
of William j. Bryan They denounce
the Nebraskan as traitor and apply
all kinds of choice and assorted epi-
thets to him. but declare they will sup
port the ticket.
The Bryan Domination.
The one striking fact stands out
that Bryan did so dominate and con-
troll the Baltimore convention as to
prevent the naming of Clark and made
that of Wilson certain. Whatever his
motives he came out of the convention
with more marks to his credit than
any other participant. He added
materially to his prestige and plainly

demonstrated that he still exercises
full sway over. the Democratic party
despite all assertions to the contrary
Although break between Wilson and
Bryan is predicted long before the
November elections roll around at this
time the New Jersey man has the full
and powerful assistance of Bryan and
it is promised him to the end. Under
such circumstances the strength OF
Wilson is selfsevident.
The movement engineered by &C
Roosevelt to organize a third parry
and have himself chosen to mead Ma
tional ticket received a set back wheel
Wilson was named at baltimore. II
vas rumored in advance that in the
event of his nomination COL Roose-
welt would abandon his third party
program. This was denied by the
Colonel on the very night of Governor
Wilson's selection and conference OF
progressive leaders was Immediately
called to meet at Sycamore Hill. This
gathering was for the purpose of is
suing call for a third party .conyen-
ton early in August. A list or rea-
sons and declaration of principles was
also to be set forth.
Senator Dixon, Clifford Pinchot and
others who stood by the CoioneA dur
ing his fruitless and impotent contest
attended.
Oyster Bay Overcast
This gathering at Oyster Bay was
overcast by the gloomy fact that a
large number of those who fought for
Roosevelt at: Chicago had already an
nounced allegiance to either Taft or
Wilson. Among these was Governor
Osborn, of Michigan, who said he
would support Wilson. In the same
connection, DR.. Harvey w. Wiley,
former Chief Chemist of the Agricul-
tural Department, became Wilson
convert and offered to take the stump
for him whenever his services we're
required.
So many of the Progresstyes thus
aligned themselves with one party or
the other as to indicate that the
Roosevelt movement will not prove
such a stupendous or successful affair
as was predicted earlier. 1t seems de-
stined to fall of its own weight, as do
all such movements.
Third Party Not Popular.
Even the Progressive Republican
Senator'S do not seem inclined to go
far in assisting Col. Roosevelt. They
held a meeting and seriously discus
sed the entire situation. The net re-
suit was that majority of them in
sisted on remaining strictly within the
regular Republican organization and
refusing to take, any action which
might hereafter classify them as bolt
ers. Senator La Toilette did not at
tend the conference. Senators Bris-
tow and Clapp were the only ones
present who suggested that third
party might be a good thing and init
mate that possibly they might cast II
their lot with such a propaganda.
Senators Works, of California, has
openly and repeatedly declared that
while he will positively refuse to SUP
port Taft he will Lot enter a third
party. He is willing the Republicans
should suffer temporary defeat proyid-
ed it has the eventual effect of purify
ing that organization and Kidding it
alike of bosses and privileged inter-
ests.
