Of an abundance Of moisture. There
will be little or no pole sweat SO long
as the temperature remains below 60
degrees +. or the relative humidity is
less than 81 per cent. 1t can be easily
and completely controlled by the COM
bined use of heat and ventilation.
The two most important reasons why
artificial heat should be used more or
less in curing practically all tobaccos
are that a. this affords the only prac-
ticable means Of preventing the decay
of leaf cH;lScd by excessive moisture
during wet weather and e. tobacco
does not cure properly at low tenn
peratures. however favorable the
weather may be otherwise, fact of
special importance in northern tobacco
districts. Where no heat is used it
frequently happens that even after the
curing is largely completed wet periods
of weather bring the tobacco into such
moist condition that the color is great
y darkened and the quality of the to-
baccO otherwise injured. while if cold
weather prevails during the curing the
leaf simply dries without otherwise de-
veloping the desired properties of cured
tobacco.

the principal value Of the heat is to
/ maintain favorable temperature in
the barn. and during this period great
care must be taken to avoid too rapid
drying. 1t is evident that the barn
must be reasonably tight SO as to pre-.
vent the rapid escape OF the heat and
moisture. On the other hand. the barn
must have proper means Of ventilation
during wet weather: otherwise the air
in the barn soon becomes saturated.
the drying will be checked. and there
will be danger Of pole sweat when the
second stage OF the curing Is reached.
No heating system will give satisfac.

in favor of open fires as source of
heat in curing are simplicity and cheap

the cheapest method of applying heat

ITO THE LARGER MINORITY"
dianapoIIs More Than Borne
Out by the Figures.

President Wilson might have gone
further than he did when he told his
audience at Indian apolis that the Re
publican party is still more Of mi
nority party than the Democratic, and
that "as between the. minorities l
think we can claim to belong to the
larger minority"
The New York World has compiled
the Official vote for representatives in
congress In November. These re-
turns show that the Democratic party
polled larger percentage of the total
Democratic Republican Progressive
vote than it polled in 1912, and that
the Republicans and Progressiv cs
combined polled a smaller percentage
than in 1912.
In spite of the great Republican
gains in the house due to the return of
the Roosevelt voters to their old al
legiance, the fact remains that the
Democratic vote was relatively larger
than It was two years ago.
In 1912 the Democrats polled ap-
pIOAILudICly 10 pei CSuC VI lie tUldl
Democratic Republican Progressive
vote. The Republicans polled 25 per
cent and the Progressives polled 80
per cent In 1914 the Democratic
congressional candidates po1led ALAS
per cent of this total vote, the Repub-
lica1s polled 1859 per cent and the
Progressives poiled 692 per cent.
This shows Democratic gain of near
ly 21s per cent, Republican gain
of 211s per cent. 1t shows also com
bined Republican-Progressive loss of
21s per cent.
The official returns from the vari-
GUS districts indicate a total Demo-
cratic vote for members Of congress
Of 5,276,707, a total Republican vote
Of 5,066,92S, and a total Progressive

KEEP Times HARD
ThinIy Yelled Threat Made by
Tariff Grafters.
Raises the Point, IL the Prosperity OF
the Country Dependent on the
Greed Of a Few Unscrupu-
lous Men?

Word is being passed in various CIR.
cles that the railroad rate increase.
after all, does not amount to much,
and that the factories OF this country
will not open In full force until they
are certain of a more favorable attl-
tude" from the administration at
Washington.
Stripped Of its wordy nonsense, this
means that a group Of tariff grafters
have determined to keep times hard
through the rest of the Wilson admin
istration. in hope of getting Repub-
lican victory and those lovely AIdricn
schedules, with extras.
Can they do It? Is the prosperity
of this country SO dependent on the
greed of a few men that these Few,
for their own advantage, can say that
the whole nation shall have hard
times until it consents to be robbed
again, as it was robbed for the 10
years prior to the election OF Wood
row Wilson?
The destruction Of capital in Eu-
rope Is terrible, and has a depressing
effect on industry throughout the
world. But that effect has been more
than discounted already, while the
good factors in the present situation
are just beginning to be realized.
The nation has one of the largest
crops in its history, which is being
sold at the highest prices known for
many years.
1t has a banking and currency sys-
tenn which makes panics thing OF
the past.
1t has the finest chance to develop
a great merchant marine offered to
any land since the Napoleonic wars.
In the face of all these circum-
stances, can a small group of tariff
grafters force hard times, In order to
force a change of government?
If they can, then all the reforms OF
the last few years are but flea bite
compared to the radical reorganiza-
ton which is needed to secure the
nations liberties. The tariff grafters
had better be careful

Winter is the period during which the
farmer should lay his plans for the coming

what crops he is going to raise and in which
fields each crop is to be planted. The sell
