TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

Governor Baldwin of Connecticut adj
vises the people TO take the reports OF
the Tariff Board seriously. and upon
their evidence 10 enlarge the free list
in manner to affect every home ev-
cry consumer in the land.
He has faith that thus will be found
tie way out from the trust difficulty.
for he believes that the OWLS of the
trust are in the main consequences of
the evils Of the Tariff.
Governor Baldwin does not believe
that Federal or State law can check
combination. which has become an
economic tendency OF the times 50 i'm
perative that legislation. EXCEPT at the
expense Of socictys welfare and pros
pcrity, cannot succeed in forbidding.
The nub of his advice is to take the
reports of the Tariff Board seriously.
The Democratic House of Representa-
tives gives little indication of taking
Tie reports seriously Itswould rather
go upon its prcposscssions than upon
the scientifically ascertained and ac-
curate data of the reports.
Is supposed political advantage TO
take precedence over the relief OF the
people? II the politicians have such a
prediction. II remains for the people
to set the politicians right.
The people are not paying any less
for oil or tobacco because of the dis
solution of the trusts. But they soon
would be paying less for clothes rela-
tive to quality. We're Schedule X re-
vised on the basis Of the data supplied
by the Tariff Board.

In state institutions, for ~example--ft
has been found that the convict has
mastered a craft which does not aid
him later, when be applies for work
outside Of the ~penitentiary.
It is a primary fact that convicted
men should be regarded by the state
as a charge, and that the methods ern-
ployed in keeping them busy should
not conflict with the interests Of the
man ION the outside" who often has
a pretty hard time getting along, un-
der the most favorable conditions. 1t
can be plainly seen that IL the work
given a convict is taken away from
some man who has not violated any
law, an injustice has been done and a
serious problem has been created.
The road building scheme appears
to be a strengthening out of many tam
giles. There is no end to the work
that is needed on the roads. If the
state should employ all its convicts on
such work, there would still remain
much work of the same kind that
might be done advantageously. If
there is money in the treasury to pay
for additional work, the free laborer
will not have had his opportunity taken
from him because the convicts have
been employed at the same task.
1t is to be hoped that both the on
Wet and the commonwealth will be
benefited by this new experiment
which has been launched in Jefferson
City.

DRAG GROWING GRAIN.

~ President Worst of the agricultural
college is doing missionary work in
favor of dragging growing grain. He
explains that frequent rains form a
thin crust on top Of the soil. AS soon
as the surface dries, this cracks, form
ing apertures through which moisture
rapidly escapes. BY dragging the
grain lightly these holes are filed and
a mulch is formed which will prevent
the moisture from evaporating.
Incidental advantages are the de-
struction of weeds. which would grow
UP n rob the soil of both fertility
and moisture-snd sreatly~to the dis
advantage of the growing crop.
OF course great care must be exer.
cised in this dragging process-not to
90 onto the fields when the grain is
too small-and not to use a drag that
is too heavy and injure the grain.
President Worst points out the fact
that moisture is the great essential in
securing q good crop in this state
and that too many farmers disregard
escaping moisture in the spring-wher
there is plenty of it-only to have the
crops suffer later in the season.
Expecting nature to always furnish
timely rains is altogether toozs much
The farmers must cooperate and pro-
vide against times when the elements
are not entirely favorable. .s-.,es.
