tion Agent A. w. Buchanan. Mr..

this sample was from corn of second
planting, he has been eating them for
ten days. He says that his corn would
have been getting hard if he could
have saved his first planting. The
date of the second planting from
which this corn grew was March 2fth,
which makes it a very early maturing
variety of corn. Mr.. Buchanan says
that he has applied the demonstration
methods to this corn. has plowed it
cne time and narrowed it four times
and will make without rain 80 or 40
bushels to one acre. He used 200
pounds of commercial fertilizer and
no barnyard manure. 1t has not rained
on this corn since May 22d. Corn can
be raised in Brazos county with very
little rain.

WIN ELECTION

Great Falling Off in Progress

AT DEMOCRATIC RULE
By The United Press.

AUGUSTA. Me. Sept 9-Politicians
of Maine and the entire country to-
day attempted to prophesy the signi-
hcance OF the election yesterday in
the Third Maine district, where John
A. Peters. Republican Speaker OF the
House of Representatives was elected
TO Congress, to succeed the late For
rest Goodwin.
Wilson's plurality over Roosevelt IN
the Third district last November was
l.456. and the Republicans were more
than 1000 votes behind. Returns to-
day from yesterdays election show
heavier voting. Democratic loss Of
$50, Republican gain of nearly 5000
and loss by the Progressives almost
equal TO the G. o. Z. gain.
The Third district, which had been
in the Republican column for 25
years previous to the recent political
'upheavals, today settled back into line
by a plurality of sos
The vote was as follows; Peters. Re-
publican, Is, JOG; Pattangall Democrat.

THE result should not be CON
strued as a rebuke to the national
administration II Is wholly to be
attributed to Democratic treachery-
because certain men failed of sue
cess at the primaries they deliber-
ately sacrificed the party in this
election"
Peters declared his belief that the
breach between Progressives and
Republicans may be healed. He
said. Il regard the result of the
election as a signal triumph. not only
for the Republican principles of pro-
lection, but also for the new liberal
Republicanism. | believe il TO be en-
tirely possible to harmonize and
unite the anti-Democratic strength.
