Takes in the Primaries.

The bill relating 10 campaign con-
tributions, which passed the uniteu
States Senate on Thursday, last Gov
ers some important points omitteo
from the act of 1857. The new meas
urp. which is yet to be considered by
The House, restricts corporation con-
frihntions for primary, as well as for
general election purposes.
Under the laws which now pre-
vail in a large majority of the states,
and are likely soon to have no eXcep-
ton anywhere, the primary is as I'M
porfant as the general election" says
the Washington Star. 1t does not
cover the ground at all to prohibit
corporation contributions to, and re-
strict the expenditures of candidates
in, general election campaign, and
leave the way open for all sorts OF
contributions and unlimited expendi-
lures to secure a party nomination,
since in many instances such nomi-
nation is as good as an election.
II it is not proper for corporation
to contribute to the election of a can
didate-and such contributions are
prohibited by corrupt practices acts
generally-if is not any more proper
for a corporation to contribute to the
nomination of candidate. Whatever
claim corporation could have on
anyone elected with its aid would be
just as strong 10 one case as in the
other. Thafbill whicl, has passed the
Senate is Intended, &c. cover both cleo
tons, to make M. distinction between
The primarssasd tbel general election.
Whether 3the measure can get
through the House is not certain.
Southern Democrats in that body have
strongly opposed fanny restrictions on
the primaries for the reason that in
the Southern States the contests are
practically all at the primaries. 1t is
rare thing that there is any fight left
after a nomination is made, and the
campaign does not call for the expen-
diture of any considerable amount of
money.
No corrupt practices act, therefore,
can be complete, or answer the pur-
pose of preventing corruption in cleo
lions, that does not apply to the pri-
mary as wen as the general election
and the Senate bill does this in quite a
drastic way.

not grow in the field.
Where to Secure Seed With These
Factors.
Ii is quite evident that from the above
discussion the question of adaptabiiity. to
market depends on the selection made,
Purity depends on the care given the
seed and while pure seed can be and is
raised in Maine as well as in other parts
of the country. there is very little pure
seed raised here.
High Weld is essential in the preceding
crop. If il is to BE- obtained in the sue
eeeding chops While there are crops,
especially our potato crops, which excel
other states in yield. vet as an average
the yield of the farm crops, of the state
of Maine is low. Therefore, it is "d-
visable 10 procure seed from some of the
few in the State or out OF it who have
had a high yield for the past three or
four years y one years test is of no
value
Seed that Is suitable to the various eli
mate conditions of this State can be pro-
cured as well in the state as anywhere;
this point is much more dependent on
the selection of variety made than on the
indy idual seed of the variety selected
ON the other hand. the hardness of the
seed depends more ON the selection of the
individual seed Of the variety, as there
are great differences within the variety
In the strength of straw. Vigor and gen
eral vitality of the seed and plant one
strain may have been grown under such
conditions that it Will be much harder
than another strain.
Disease resistance does not depend on
the place where the crop is raised but the
selections that have been made in the
five or six previous crops. There are
few crops raised in the state that are
partially disease resistant, but this fac
ter is. more often secured by careful Sc
lection on the home farm Get the va
riety which is suitable in other points
and is most disease resistant. Use that
for basis and make Your selections
from that
The germnative power of the seed de-
ponds much on the season. The past
season has been bad one in this state,
therefore, the vitality of all seed raised
in this state should be carefully consid-
cred

Resistance to Disease.

Disease resistance is like hardness and
all of the other points, it increases me
yield and the quality If the seed comes
from a crop that is quite resistant to DIS
case it will be very likely to produce
crop that is resistant TO disease Ihe
advantage of a disease resistant crop =
that the yield will be one-tenth TO one
third larger. the quality will be much
better and the cost of production VIII De
sixth TO nth less. That is, II po,a-
toes did not have to be sprayed Tor
early or late blight, the cost of raising
an acre of potatoes would be about $40 III
stead of $I5 The yield would be larger
and the quality would be much better. II
you consider these things of Importance
as the average farmer must, make every
effort TO get disease resistant seed.

hurriedly and therefore will not be as
thorough as they should be.
This latter is surely a just criticism.
The Forum has no way Of knowing
whether there were any grounds for
any investigation in the first place,
but it does believe that now that an
Investigation has been started 1t should
be absolutely thorough and complete,
in justice to the officials who are un-
der fir as we'll as to the state.
The fact that Governor Hanna Is
respectfully interested in getting
authority to employ an expert ac-
c%ountant, to start work on a uniform
system of bookkeeping and account
ing, to simplify the work in state and
county offices and to have funds that
have neve been thoroughly examined
since statehood carefully gone over"
will be good news to all who have the
best interests Of the state at heart.
North Dakota needs better business
methods, in conducting public affairs.
Evidently Governor Hanna Is going to
apply his splendid business abilities
along that line.
