Mexican Raises 24O
Bushels Of Corn to Acre.

Zeferina Domingues of Mexico
says he brought his land up from
seven bushels of corn to the acre
to 24O bushels. If he could do
that with only nine inches of
rainfall yearly and no irrigation,
why could not our farmers do the
same. Or if they could produce
only 100 bushels it would beat
what they are doing more than q
hundred per cent
He farms scientifically. He re-
tains the moisture in the ground
after a rain by packing the
ground by means of rollers and
then narrowing the top Of the
soil to a depth of two inches.
He is more careful with the Sc
lection of his seed corn than the
cultivation. He keeps it well
ventilated ard makes practical
tests before planting to see that
it is all fertile.
He said that the farmers would
all have to discard the trust in
God" methed of farming and de
it scientifically.

A Democrat on the Tariff.

Congressman Whiteacre, a
Democrat from Ohio. has given
his party shock with his speech
in the House, in which he frank
ly attributed the business de-
preston from which he country
has been suffering, to the Wilson
Underwood tariff.
This Ohio Democrat is not the
only one of his party who under
stands the situation as he views
it. Pennsylvania is full of such
Democrats, who have the most
convincing demonstrations of
the ruinous effect of the party'>
tariff theories when legislated in
to practice. The Democratic
party of this state will never get
anywhere as long as it accepts
the policies imposed upon it by
the national leaders.
That a similar feeling exists in
other northern states was dem.
onstrated anew by the result of
the recent election, and it is that
which now makes Democratic
success in the next presidential
campaign look impossible, A
tariff made to aid foreign manu-.
facturers can never be approved
by the manufacturers and wage
earners of this country.
Congressman Whiteacre will
not reform his party. He should
follow the example of many thou
sands of Pennsylvania Demo
Gratis and come into the Republi
can party, which is for America
first and all time.-Philadelphis
