Only a Question
Of How Much for
T. r. and Harmon

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 22.-With Col
onel Roosevelt and Governor Harmon
the winners in yesterdays Ohio's pri-
maries, interest today centered In the
final returns which will show the exact
extent of their victories.
Roosevelt managers today would not
concede that Taft had carried more
than three districts-the FIRST, Second
and third, but the chances were that
more. This would give Roosevelt a
minimum of thirty-two and Taft a max
imum of ten district delegates.
Harmon carried the State in the Pres
idential preference vote by a plurality
roughly estimated at 1900 over Govern
or Wilson of New Jersey, but the lat
ter appears to have captured a number
of district delegates. Wilson managers
claim at least nine, with two others
doubtful. The Harmon managers will
not concede more than five districts to
Wilson.
Harmon's Presidential preference VIC
tory gives him the six delegates-at-
large from Ohio, who will be named at
the State convention, June and s.
T. R. Gets Big Six.

Columbus, June and 4, will select the

The victorious Roosevelt manager, said
while the Roosevelt men have made
no fight for delegates to the State con
to observe the results in the district
primaries. This means that six dele
gates-at-large. instructed for Roose-
welt, will be selected"
said the Taft forces would control the
state convention and send six Taft men
| as delegates-at-large. This probably
will open another fight between Roose-
welt and Taft.

Eye Talks
By DR.. Ralph Martin Samuel

The question is frequently asked.
Why do so many people wear
glasses? The answer lis easily
given. Within the last ten years
a great deal has been learned
about the value of glasses and
their various uses. The people,
too, are better acquainted with
eye peculiarities, and the best
way to correct and preserve them.
Perhaps the eyes need more help
now than formerly. The sewing
machine and other inventions of
its class save the labor of the
hands, only to add to that re-
quired of the eyes. The enormous
circulation of the daily news
paper, the increasing use of arti-
ficial and electric light. extending
the hours, of eye work, all COM
bine TO otertax the eve. There
fore, these aids, glasses" which
protect, preserve, and strengthen,
have become of universally recog-
nized Importance.

FLAX GROWING
is PROFITABLE
WESTERN CANADA FARMERS BE-
COMING RICH IN ITS
PRODUCTION.

So much has been written regarding
the great amount of money made out
of growing wheat in the prairie prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, Western Canada, that many
other products of the farms are over
looked. These provinces will always
grow large areas of Wheat-both
spring and winter-and the yields will
continue to be large, and the general
average greater than in any other
portion of the continent. Twenty. thir-
ty, forty, and as high as fifty bushels
per acre of wheat to the acre-yields
unusual in other parts of the wheat
growing portions of the continent
have attracted worldwide attention,
but what OF oats, which yield forty,
fifty and as high as one hundred and
ten bushels per acre and carry off the
worlds prize, which, by the way, was
also done by wheat raised in Sas-
katchewan during last November at
the New York Land Show. And then,
there is the barley, with its big yields.
and its excellent samples. Another
money-maker, and a big one Is flax.
The growing of flax is extensively car
ried on In Western Canada. The
writer has before him a circular is
sued by a prominent farmer at Saska-
toon. The circular deals with the
treatment of seed flax, the seeding
and harvesting, and attributes yields
of less than 20 bushels per acre, to
later seeding. imperfect and illypre-
pared seed. He Sowed twenty-five
pounds of seed per acre and had
Weld Of twenty-nine bushels per acre.
This will probably dispose of at $3.50
per acre. Speaking of proper prepa-
ration of seed and cultivation of soil
and opportune sowing, in the circular
spoken of there is cited the case of
MIR. White, living fourteen miles
south of Rosetown, who had fifteen
acres of summer fallow year ago
last summer. upon which he produced
thirty-three bushels to the acre, when
many in the district harvested for
want of crop. Now, there can be no
proper reason advanced why such
crop should not have been produced
on all the lands of the same quality
in the adjacent district, provided they
had been worked and cared for in the
same manner This year d91D the
same man had one hundred acres of
summer fallow, had something over
5, 500 bushels OF wheat He also had
1.80O bushels of oats and 500 bushels
of flax"
