President Wilson in his speech as
Newark recognized that the country
did not go Democratic and free trade
last fall. The correct way of describ
ing how II did go is that the major
fly voted for protection, with the ~.
enable stupidity of dividing its vote
so that it's cause could not win.
Yet the president does not seem ia
make what is to us the obvious de
duction. The Democratic party haa
the right and duty to revise the tar
in But should 1t not recognize that
with the majority OF them. they
should avoid radical tariff reduction
They should do It in their own inter
est, as most "tely to continue them
in power. They should do SO with
a view to the least possible disturb
ance OF business. and to avoid the
danger that their power might be
overthrow at the next congressional
election
The Democrats can prolong their
hold II they stick to the lines OF n
tariff revision which twenty years ago
would have been deemed radical But
that consideration does not seem Ia
be taken into account by some OF
them. including Mr.. Wilson.

HEAVY SEED DOES
NOT INCREASE YIELD
Tests Made at Nebraska Expert

Cfsy JAMES ID. MARSHALL. Colorado

C5y JAMES ID. MARSHALL. Colorado
Agricultural Coilege)
During the past ten years a great
many experiments have been conduct.
ed by various experiment stations to
determine the relative effect of diff
ferent-sized kernels on the quantity
and quality of grain produced per
acre. The work at the Nebraska ex.
pertinent station, is worthy of note on
this particular subject. Tests here
we're made with wheat, the tanning
mill being used to make the seed sep
arations.
In the tests Turkey red, a hard
winter wheat, and Big Frame, a soft
winter wheat, we're used. a lot of
seed from each OF the above varieties
was separated into two parts. the
heavier and the lighter halves.
These were again separated into the
heaviest heavy" and the "lightcst
light" being sown. To check results
ordinary seed as 1t came from the
separator was planted.
The same method was followed each
year for period OF eig1t years. The
seed from each crop of the heaviest
heavy and the highest light was
separated and only the heaviest quar-
ter OF the heaviest heavy and the
highest quarter of the "lightest light"
were used for seed.
At the end of the experiment the
average yields for the three kinds of
seeds we're practically the same while
the average weights per bushel from
the crops harvested showed hardly
any difference in favor Of any one Sc
lection OF the heaviest seed for par
ticular kind of seed. From the above
results it is evident that the selec.
ton of the heaviest seed for sowing
purposes win not materially increase
the yield per acre or the weight per
bushel of the crop harvested.

Packages should be neat and clean.
AS rule small packages are best
early in the season when the prices
are high, and large packages for the
main crop. Use standard sized pack
ages and give fun measure Nothing
is gained in the end by short measure.
When possible II is best to grow
vegetables on a large scale TO sell to
the Wholesale trade instead of retail
ing. The successful gardener finds
his time too valuable to peddle his
vegetables.
Crops must be gathered in proper
condition and sent to the market
fresh and clean. Careful grading is
essential. A few inferior specimens
in package are the first to attract
attention. Even few specimens will
knock off more from the price of the
package than they are worth.
Remove quick maturing crops as
soon as they are done bearing and
plant to others.
Cultivation should begin early. Gull
tivators with not less than twelve
small teeth or shovels are best for
small truck crops, because they leave
the soil in ideal condition and are the
best conservers OF soil moisture. A
loose and friable soil stimulates a

the conditions upon which American
Industries rest. The industrial world
wishes to know with all possible

an exercise of right to be heard
II is certainly undemocratic to en-
act any law without giving everyone
directly affected chance to say yes

consumer-the three great parties
concerned in a tariff law-have the
right to demand an open hearing
The Democratic senate will ruiz
