making possible a good harvest from
the seed intrusted to her care. The
heavy rains OF the latter part OF May
while retarding the work of getting
the seed into the soil, assured sufficient
moisture to start things a-growing
when the ground is warmed up by the
June sun.
More and more each year Maine
farmers are approaching the import
anee OF planting only the best of
seed Probably more care was shown
this year than ever before in putting
the best obtainable into the ground
Like begets like" and good crops can
only be expected from good seeds.
The work OF the Seed Improvement
society Is beginning to have its effect
Is members are themselves adhering
to It's cardinal principles and the re-
suits obtained by members in the past
are incentives to neighbors to follow
their examples. Good seed. euaran
teed BY the society is unquestonably
worth any advance over regular price
that may be made
The Farmers Union of Maine also
places itself in the front this year by
offering a certain quantity OF select
cats which last year attained phenom-
enal results, some Of the farmers get
ting as high as s. bushels to the acre
and few falling below IS bushels As
Maine yield per acre in 1911 averaged
only 5S.5 bushels THE highest OF any
state outside of the far western group
i IS easy to reckon how it would have
been possible to nearly have met our
demand for this one grain instead OF
depending upon the west As it was.
Names production was in excess OF
100000 bushels, nearly million
bushels over the returns shown BY the
census figures of 1000 With every
one seeking to increase his yield per
acre rather than his acreage by using
only the best seed obtainable, the
States material advancement may be
assured

Maine and Good Roads

Here and Elsewhere The suggestions
contained therein are particularly appli-
cable as it was intended that they should
be to the proposition confronting Maine
as the result of the passage OF the Good
Roads bill OF 1913. In this connection 1t
is interesting to note that the United
States Department OF agriculture ante=
pates that the present year will witness
greater results in improved highways in
the country at large than at any other
time in the history OF the movement for
better roads In period OF five years
preceding 1912 the department built 2I5
object lesson roads some 900 miles OF
road IS feet wide, and by expert advice
aided in the formulation OF more than
$50 model county roads systems, resulting
generally in beneficial reforms, Twenty
six states were also assisted in effectng
equitable state aid plans
In the official bulletin it is stated that
there was a gain in the total road mileage
improved for the period I9o4-Iooo of -
per cent, making the figures at the close
of 1900 Of 500 per cent OF the roads in
the United States improved In the years
elapsed since 1900 it is estimated that the
percentage OF improved roads has gone
well beyond per cent and possibly 10
per cent. It is estimated that if 20 per
cent. of the public highways were i'm
proved, a high degree Of efficiency in
highway transportation would be reached
whereby millions of dollars would be
saved annually in the transportation OF
crops, the wear and tear on horses and
vehicles and in the minimizing OF the
waste in truck farming As it is well
realized in Maine, the farmers frequently
find it impossible to get their products to
shipping points, perishable products often
times being wasted

Tariff Bill Passes,

The Underwoed-Simm Democratic
Tariff Bill passed on Tuesday last, Sep
TENDER goth, by vote OF 255 to 1903.
Party lines were closely drawn in the
closing vote. In passing the bill the
Democratic majority received the assist
ance of but seven Republicans: They
were Baltz and Mcdonald, of Michigan;
Kelley and Ripley, of Pennsylvania;
Kent, California; NOLAN, Minnesota, and
Stewart, of Wisconsin.
Democrats voting against the bill
were Donohoe, Pennsylvania; Broussard,
Morgan and Lazaro, Louisiana. Dono-
hoe opposed the measure because of the
manufacturing interests in his Pennsvl-
vania District, and the Louisiana repre-
sentatves were continuing their fight
against the sugar schedule of the bill.
After bitter fight, the substitution of
President Wilson's compromise for the
Clark Amendment to tax deals on cot
to- futures" was agreed upon. The
Senate is not expected to accept the
compromise and the proposition to re-
strict or to regulate market operations in
cotton futures will probably go over until
next winter.

WHAT WILL BE THE RESULT
OF THE ELECTION IN THIS
STATE AT THE COMING
ELECTION?

The State Of Maryland i a Demo
cratic State under ordinary and normal
conditions of politics This being SO,
there ought to be no doubt Of the State
going Democratic at this election,
The condition IF the Democratic party
is normal, or so nearly normal, as 70
raise the hopes Of all Democrats for
sweeping victory. The fact Is the Dem
ocratic victory this fall ought to be
greater than for many years The fact
is that the Democratic party ought to
carry, not only the State by an increased
majority, but it ought TO carry every
county in the State except perhaps
Allegany and Garrett
To do this depends almost entirely
upon the ability which the party ex
hibits in the campaign 1t has already
given evidence that it intends to make
strong and very vigorous campaign In
fact it has already mapped out its whole
campaign and has already opened it,
Its State ticket is entirely acceptable
and strong, and its county tickets in
each of the counties, are also very strong
ones.

son is not only strong, but it has done
