REPLIES TO HILL CRITICISM
FARM SCHOOL HEAD DEFENDS
WORK CT INSTITUTION.
No Necessity Found for Paying Acre
. -T age for Good
.. Work.

Minneapolis.-De Woods of the
State University college of agricul-
ture, in his reply to James ]. Hills
criticisms of the institution for al
legged failure to raise the level of
Minnesota agriculture to the height of
it's possibilities, refused to admit
that the farm school had been placed
on the defensive by Mr.. Hill and linn
tied his statement to matter other
than controversial. "
The deans communication was
mailed to Mr.. Hill and was in reply
to one from Mr.. Hill in which the lat
ter had embodied his criticisms of the
school made in an address early in
the week. The deans reply was in
the form of statement that he had
prepared for the press before receiv-
ing Mr.. Hills letter, and he enclosed
it with a personal note to his critic.
Mr.. Hill Illogical. ..
Mr.. Hill had blamed the farm
school for not having taught the farm
ers in general to increase the pro-
ductivity of Minnesota lands, citing
one years experience on the Great
Northern demonstration tracts in va.
rious parts of this state and North
Dakota, in which large yields of wheat,
oats and barley had been obtained
through scientific farming methods.
Dean Woods intimates that it IS illogi-
cal for Mr.. Hill to ask for results on
all the farms of the state such as
he was able to get through specially
treated small tracts on selected far1ns
under conditions that do rot obtain
on the average farm In Minnesota;
and he cites yields for a ten-year peri
cd on the experiment farms of che
college of agriculture as comparing
creditably with those on the Hill
plots. 2 -..-
Tersely the replies are:
I'VE have not found it necessary
to pay farmers So an acre as Mr.. Hill
has done to get them to follow good
methods.
1.-The problem now is not so much
a demonstration of what can be done
upon small plot as what can be done
with the whole farm.
THE yields secured by Mr.. Hill on
his various tracts were only slightly
greater in his one-year test than our
ten-year average at University farm
in a five-year rotation"

Minneapolis, square in the face as he
emerged from the university armory,
where he spoke to 1000 people, and it
then went back again. He. was i'm

morning, his entire schedule disar-

Il like this sunlight" he said, az
he climbed into an automobile for a

times already, once to 200 men at the
Commercial club breakfast, again to
500 children of the Garfield school, and
again to the assemblage in the uni

his parade ground talk and his big

TAFT SAYS HE'LLW|N
SAYS EASTERN AND PART OF
CENTRAL WESTERN STATES.
WILL BRING SUCCESS.
THIRD PARTY STRENGTH.
Waning in Minnesota, Says He
Eager to Have Workmen's
Compensation Law
Enacted.

New York, Sept. 26.-President Taft,
in prepared interview, declared that
his recent claims of strength were
entitled to respect. He repeated that
he believed he would be elected and
gave his reasons for denying that he
had been over-sanguine. He analysed
the political situation as he saw it,
maintaining that the Republicans
would carry the solid east and enough
of the central western states to win.
The president made these state
ments at the home of his brother,
Henry w. Taft, where he went on
his arrival from Washington. The
presidents interview follows:
when l declared few weeks ago
that l felt reasonably sure of my own
reelection in November and of the
success of the Republican party, was
regarded by some as entirely over
sanguine and unaware of the situation.
Now, however, after a number of in
dications that the Republican party is
still the dominant party, and that the
expected growth of Democratic
strength has failed to materialize, my
only declaration is shown to be en-
titled to respect. 49,.
How Parties Line Up.
'The Republicans necessarily will
have reduced majority over 1908 be-
cause of the presence of three tickets
in the field, but the Democratic party
will suffer also. The combined
strength of the third term party will
not be enough to change the ultimate
result. ~-s.' .r. .i.
Give or six weeks ago, it was as
serted generally that the Republican
party would secure the vote of the
solid East, including all of the New
England states, with the exception of
Maine and Vermont; that the Demo
cratic party would maintain its hold
on the solid South, and that the third
term party would secure the solid
West, leaving only the Middle West
as debatable ground. -.. ...
AT this time, with the election still
one month away, the Republican par.
ty finds itself with a strengthened hold
on the solid East, having routed the
third term party in Vermont, and the
Democratic party in Maine.
Expects Strength in West.
"The third term leaders recently
conceded that we would pick the state
of Utah out of the solid West, and,
after comforting with Chairman Hilles
and others recently in the West, there
is every reason to believe that the
Republican party will carry Michigan,
Washington, Idaho and Wyoming
Moreover, if the proper kind of cam
paign is waged, we will carry Oregon,
Kansas and Minnesota, where the
third term strength has rapidly waned
since the recent tour through that
section by the party's candidate"
Men Who Visited Taft.
Those who called to see the presi.
dent included George r. Sheldon,
treasurer of the Republican national
committee; Charles D. Hilles, chair
man of the national committee; Com
mitteemen Thomas Neidrenhaus of
Missouri and Martin of Virginia; for
mer Governor Franklin Murphy of
New Jersey, Otto Barnard of New
York, President Nicholas Murray But
Ter of Columbia university and George
w. Fairfield, president of the Union
League club of New York.

severely injured by the explosion of
his acetylene gas generator. His
head was cut by flying metal and his
eyes blinded by the burning gas. 1t

however, and that the other injuries
are not serious. He had recharged
the generator, which was in the
ground about thirty feet from his
dwelling, and was replacing the gas
belt when the explosion occurred
The generator was destroyed and
parts of it blown two hundred feet

NO TROUBLE IN COLLECTING
Lawyer Probably Was Willing to Pay
More Than $40 Under the
Circumstances.

A noted lawyer of Tennessee, who
labored under the defects of having
ahigh temper and of being deaf,
walked into a court room presided
over by younger man, of whom the
older practitioner had a small opin-
ion. .a.5 #s..
Presently, in the hearing of mo-
ton, there was a clash between the
lawyer and the Judge. The judge or
dered the lawyer to sit down, and as
the lawyer, being deaf, didn't hear
him and went on talking, the judge
fined him $r0 for contempt.
The lawyer leaned toward the clerk
and cupped his hand behind his ear.
What did he say?" he inquired.
"He fined you s10." explained the
clerk.
For what?"
For contempt of shis court" said
the clerk.
The lawyer shot poisonous look
toward the bench and reached hand
into bis pocket.
