A CHAT WITH The FARMERS.

The editor of this paper does not pro-
fess to be an authority on farming, but
to our mind it would seem that the
following of few simple rules would
result in more satisfactory results from
the standpoint of the tiller of the soil.
l. Produce enough of each article
needed to subsist the family from year
to year and feed the stock without
having to go into the market and buy
those articles at high prices. Let this
be carefully figured out before planting
time and see that provision is made tor
quite enough of each article of diet.
2. Keep enough hogs, cattle and
poultry to supply all of the meat and
eggs required during the year without
having to buy them at the end of the
season.
3. Instead of planting the surplus
acreage to the time honored crops that
yield small returns, study the market
reports carefully and select crops that

THE open break betw cen President
Wilson and Mr.. Bryan came when the
former secretary of state, in carefully
prepared statement to the public, de-
nounced the policy of President Wilson
on national preparedness set forth by
him in his Manhattan Club speech, and
served notice that he would devote his
entire time and energy to defeating in
Congress next winter the legislation
which President Wilson will urge in his
message.
Mr.. Bryan's statement is simply a
public notice of the entire rupture of
the former political relations between
President Wilson and himself. 1t is
the elimination of the friction which
began when the second Lusitania note
was written over Mr.. Bryan's protest.

THE Democratic leader of the House

his declaration in an interview given
out at Washington, in which he let it
be known that he is opposed to the ad-
ministration plan for national defense.
He is quoted as saying that he would
not attempt to lead a party opposition,
but from earnest personal conviction
he would oppose the intended provision
for carrying out the plan as an individu-
al member of the House. A few other
Democrats have avowed themselves as
also opposed to it, but how many will
actually array themselves against there
is no means of knowing, The Demo-
cratic plurality is. according to our
recollection about 26. The last House.
with very large majority, was hard
enough to control, the party lash being
resorted to on several occasions. The
present body will be much harder to
manage, and if a few persist in oppos-
ing the President it will be the Repub-
licans who will have to help push the
defense scheme through. We can see
nothing but rocky road ahead for it.

will produce well on the particular land
in question and yet bring a high price
in the city markets. Then put every
available acre and all possible energy
INTO producing large yield from those
crops and sell in the city markets when
prices are at high tide.
/. TO avoid wearing out the land ro-
tate the crops, always selecting those
articles that bring highest prices and
yield the largest crops to the acreage,
thus producing the greatest financial
returns.
5. Study the different crops each
season and devise ways and means of
increasing the yield while at the same
time reducing the cost of production.
This is not a difficult proposition if a
person goes atsit cientifcally and with
a determination to succeed.
6. When reports indicate that the
country is going in heavily for one GER
tain crop. let that crop alone and raise
something else equally as productive Of
financial returns. The farmer who is
long on a short crop has a small gold
mine.
Z. Don't be afraid to try something
new. Others all over this country are
becoming rich by getting in on the
ground floor of q new and good thing.
You feed your horse well because you
know it is of no value to you when it is

BALTIMORE county gave Weller 294
majority. Senator Benson, Democrat
was defeaced by N. D. R. Allen, Re-
publican. Benson's defeat is big
blow for the Democratic State organi-
cation forces and no effort Is made to
conceal the disappointment. For four
years he has been by long odds the
most forceful figure in the Senate of
Maryland. Before that he was a pow
er in the House of Delegstes. Every

THE Baltimore American has the
blues, judging from the following two
paragraphs:
Baltimore can expect but little from
the Maryland legislature of 1916"
There must be reason for this state
of affairs.
why did Baltimore go for Harring-
ton? Who can explain.
Give it up. Ask Mr.. Kelly. Surely
the counties are not responsible for it.
1t might be good thing to tie to the
counties once in a while. They are
part Of Maryland.

ALL this seems to US to show very
plainly what has been shown before
namely, that the people of Maryland
are getting very, very tired of the old
fashioned kind Of bosses and machines
and rings, and of colorless candidates
who can be controlled. " They are
very tired of government bylittle selfish
eliques for personal and private ends.

THERE is no denying the fact that
business in general has been gradually
getting slower, the past two years.
Some lines show activity, directly due
to the war, but with these exceptions,
business is "off" and the cost of liv-
ing" still keeps high. That we do not
actually have "hard times" is a fact
to be decidedly thankful for.

MONEY TO SCHOOL DISTRICT
Governor Brumbaugh Insists Wage
Bill stsnd-To Propose Single
Bill For All Approprl-
ations.

MISUNDERSTANDING voting. In
80 far as an obligation OF that kind
can be made possible. has now be-
come part Of the program Governor
Brumbaugh hopes TO have passed dur
ing this session Of the State Legisla1
ture. His declaration OF this subject
came following the introduction OF a
bill by Representative ID. j. Snyder.
of Westmoreland, In the State House
of representatives.. which aims to ac
complish this.
The Governor does not intend TO
have a measure passed which would
act as a revenue producer. He says
his intention is to have the tax on
each elector made two dollars. with
full exemption II the eleetor takes part
In both the primary and general elec.
ton. The proposal to abolish poll
tax favored by the Republican organi
Zatlon coming at this time is an In
teresting feature of the proposition.
The Snyder bill lays a tax Of three
dollar on all electors. one dollar OF
which is to be paid In the spring and
the remaining portion within six
weeks following the general fall elec.
tion. II further provides that each
voter at the primaries and the fall
election shall receive a certificate.
each OF which shall represent one
dollar toward the last payment Of the
tax.
According to the terms OF the bill.
the money would revert to the school
district OF the county This would
give Philadelphia County approximate
ly 100000 each year. In speaking
OF the situation. the Governor said
Il am in sympathy with the spirit
of Representative Snyder's bill. but |
differ with him in regard to the pro
visions of the measure. My thought
Is not to enact a revenue producer,
but a pure penalty on the great body
Of citizens who fail TO exercise their
privilege OF voting My thought was
that an Act should be passed by which
all qualified citizens would be as
sessed two dollars. One-hah OF this
should be deducted when their names
are certified by the primary officers
and the other half when they had
been certified by the election officials
as having participated in these func-
tions OF the electorate.
81 am unquestionably in favor OF
legislation along these lines to reach
the stay-at-home voters and to force
them to perform their duties as citl-
zens. would like to see them taxed
for their neglect. There are plenty
of them in the suburban wards OF
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and in
fact throughout the entire State. They
apparently show little personal inter
est In public affairs. but usually are
the most loud and insistent In their
demands, clamor and criticisms.
Politics In our States and cities
would be quite different II all of our
citizens voted. Today we have the
condition OF a minority Of our voters
determining the fundamental laws OF
our Government. There has not been
constitutional amendment adopted
in this State in eight years by ma
jority OF the people The minority
apparently controls our affairs. And
this is a condition that is a direct
menace to democracy"
