Senator Smoot was born I'm Provo
sssty-two years ago. He was raised
In this county His wide experience
has eminently qualified him for the
high position to which he was elect
ed In the National Congress March
4. 1903. His eleven years service has
amply justified the choice made by
two state legislatures. and now that
the choice OF n senator 10 directly up
to the people. there 10 little doubt
that the result will be the same.
Senator Smoot has put his state right
before the eyes OF the world, he has
added glory to the state by his grasp
OF national and international Ques-
lions. and at the same time he has
listened TO the humblest appeal OF
his constitutes irrespective OF the
party to which the petition may be-
long.
We know him well ut home. As
TO how he stands away from home,
let others speak.
His record has been so clean, his
conduct 80 upright. his labors so un-
firing. his achievements so successful,
and his recognition as one OF the
leaders OF the Senate so marked. that
as an honest reward for merit. faith
fulness, for efficiency, the people OF
Utah will return him again to the
United States Senate.
1T would be a public misfortune II
Senator Smoot would not continue In
the Senate II is all very well to
distribute the honors OF Office and
elect people because we like them,
but somebody has got to do the work
or the government, and when state
has found man so conspicnotsly
able TO do that work asa Senator
Smoot has shown himself to
be, keeping him In Offices ceases to
be mere matter TO preference and
becomes matter OF public duty to-
wards the country. Senate Elihu
Root. of New York
ION the fourth day of March, 1917,
the Republican party will return TO
power in the nation Immediately
thereafter q revision OF the tariff will
be entered upon, In that revision the
people of Utah and the whole West
are profoundly concerned and conse-
quently the people OF Utah and the
whole West will stand in vital need
OF the efficient services OF Senator
Smoot. In other words his twelve
years experience In the Senate has
made MIN one or the most valuable
political assets OF the state, I'm the
same sense that faithful, efficient
and experienced employee OF bust
ness concern becomes valuable as
set OF that institution.
IF II be possible for faithful and
efficient service fer devotion TO duty,
for untiring work which has never
counted the cost in personal incon-
venience or In threatened loss OF

Smoot Is that man.

(By WILLIAM sTUART)

The superiority Of immature over
not as yet recognized by the American
potato grower. The European grow
ers, on the other hand, have long real
lied that, other things being equal,
larger crops can be produced from
immature seed than from mature seed.
s Uniformity Of size and shape is a
quality which should receive more
thought, and strains Of potatoes giving
the greatest yield of fair-sized, shapely
.tubers should be cultivated. It is par
ticularly important at present that
such strains be developed, because
there is an increasing demand for
fancy table stock to satisfy the re-
quirements Of a large and discriminat-
ing class of consumers who are insist
Ing on greater uniformity in size and
shape and are willing to pay more for
such potatoes.
q The simplest and surest means of
developing high.graqe seed potatoes
is that of the tuber-unit and hill-selec-
ton methods. The tuber-unit method
consists in selecting from the seed bin
a number Of the most perfectly
shaped tubers OF from six to eight
ounces in weight. When planted these
are quartered, as dropped, into four
equal parts. This is done by splitting
the bud-eye. cluster in each direction
from seed to stem end. In other words,
the tuber is cut lengthwise. All tu-
bers showing discolorations Of the
flesh or other evidence Of disease
should be rejected. Plant the four

BEES AS CROP DEsTRoYERs
Charge That Damage Results From
Sucking & Of Nectar From the
Flower 10 Very Unjust One.

Il Bees are many times accused Of be-
ing destroyers OF crops Of different
kinds, more especially the fruit crops.
The charge that damage results from
the bees sucking the nectar from the
flower is very unjust one, relates the
Perdue Agriculturist, for, while the bee

OF the flowers, making a good crop
possible.
"A complaint which is very often made
is that the honey bee punctures fruits,

the juices. AS a matter OF fact, bees
never puncture sound fruit. They do,
however, suck the juices from fruit Il

/. Protect the Trees.

In sections where rabbits abound It
is never advisable to- leave the young
orchard without protection against
these animals. In single night they
are capable Of doing more damage
than the cost OF protecting the entire
orchard would have amounted to In a
year. As soon as the supply Of green
vegetation is destroyed by frost, then
the rabbits are very, liable to turn to
a diet of orchard tree bark. and in q
very short time they can girdle a lit.
tie tree beyond repair. Protect the
young trees by all means with wrap
pers, paint, or by fencing and then
kill, trap or poison the rabbits.
