ture for Small Pieces.

During the last decade cement tile
have come to be used extensively for
drainage purposes. They have an adj
vantage where fire clay is not obtain
able within a reasonable distance. The
mixture which Is found most satisfac-
tory for smaller sizes is four parts
of clean, sharp sand TO one of cement.
For larger sizes, slightly rich mix
ture is preferred. Cement tile should
be made of uniform, first-class mix
ture, should be well cured and should
be dense. Such tile should be care
fully cured and If well made will last
indefinitely.
Where freight is an important item
the farmer should choose whatever he
can secure the cheapest, whether red
or cement tile, provided he can get
good. strong tile and get the breakage
refunded. Certain aikali salts cause
cement to deteriorate and In irrigat-
ed districts some precautions should
be taken to determine the character
of alkali before cement tile can be
safely used.

DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE WELL
Record of Wise Legislation Entitled
Party in Power to the Support
of the Voters.

For long time the Republican par
ty arrogated to itself the sobriquet of
the business mans party. Many Re-
publicans admitted that the Demo-
cratic policy might be all right In
theory, but that 1t was not competent
to make laws for the conduct of bust
ness in this commercial and wealth.
accommodating age.
But the opportunity came to the
Democratic party in 1912, and it has
more than fulfilled the highest expec-
tations. During the last three years
the Democratic party has adopted
more important acts-acts of 'far-reach-
ing benefit-than the Republican party
has done In thirty years. II the Will
son administration had done nothing
more than given the country a sound
and elastic currency system 1t would
have been entitled to high honor; but
its many remedial and constructive
measures enacted into law have made
it essentially a business mans party,
while in no sense weakening it's hold
upon the masses.
II thousands of business men in New
York voted the Democratic presiden-
tial ticket in other years, tens of
thousands will vote that ticket In No
vember. If great legislative record
counts for anything the Democrats
should score decisive victory.

Diminutive mites, known as red
spiders, which gather on cotton leaves
in multitudes and suck the plant
juices, constitute one of the little un-
derstood but serious pests in cotton
growing regions of the southeastern
states, according to recent study
made by the United States department
of agriculture. Because of the small
ness of the insects and the effects of
their attacks on the appearance of the
leaves, many planters believe that the
spider-infested fields are suffering from
rust. The removal of the juices from
the leaves causes them first to redden
or turn rusty yellow over the entire
surface, and ultimately to dry up and
drop. As result of theloss of foliage,
the plants shed many bolls and the
yields from the affected fields are
therefore materially reduced.
To prevent injury to cotton from
this cause the department of agricul-
ture, recommends, in Farmers Billie

struction of all weeds around the farm

PUTS oNus ON REPUBLICANS
Statement by General Board Of the
Navy Explains How Country
Lost Second Place.

The industry of those who are after
the scalp of Secretary Daniels has led
some people to suppose that the Unit
ed States navy under the Wilson adj
ministration has fallen from n high
estate to position of alarming inferi-
GRITTY. The fact is that whatever fall
there was began long before the presi-
dent was inaugurated in 1913, and
since that time there has been a sharp
turn upward. Secretary Daniels. In a
letter to Representative Williams of
Illinois, in which he quotes from re-
port by the general board of the navy,
makes this clear.
The general board, reporting to him,
states that, measured by displacement,
the strength Of the United States navy
in ships built was second In 1907. but
By 1911, measured by the same stand
ard, we were third. Again, consider
Ing ships built or building, this coun-
try rose from third to second in 1909,
but dropped back to third place the
same year. Measuring the strength of
the navy by personnel, the general
board finds that we rose to second
place In 1908, dropped to third in 1911
and to fourth in 1913. The falling
t'ndency in this last year was Demo
cratic inheritance from the Taft ad-
ministration, which has since been
counteracted by rise in enlistments
and re-enlistments and strong falling
Off In desertions.
This is no partisan review. 1t is a
matter of cold figures as reported by
the general board. and 1t reveals the
hypocrisy of the Republican claim that
that party is the one which should be
intrusted with the building of strong
navy. The fact is that, back in Roose-
velts term, when the general board
was recommending a building program
which should include two battleships
a year, Secretary Bonaparte recon-
mended one battleship and President
Roosevelt approved that recommends
ton. Secretary Daniels declares that
had the recommendations of the board
been followed this nation would not
have lost the place which we are now
struggling to regain.

IDEAL SPRAYING ouTF 1T FOR LARGE AREA

In 1912, for example. two-fifths Of the
cotton crop in South Carolina was
damaged by this insect.
The great mass of red spiders pass
the winter on wild plants. With the
first warm days in the spring they be-
gin TO multiply with great rapIdity
and it becomes necessary for them to
seek new feeding grounds. They at
tack whatever weeds and garden plants
they may meet and ultimately find their
way into the cotton fields. In the late
fall when cotton is no longer available
for them, the spiders migrate again to
the wild plants which are frequently
found in the borders of fields, and it
has been ascertained that in many
cases they infest violet beds. Alto
gether, this insect has been found
breeding on nearly 200 species of
plants, the most common of which are
cotton, cultivated violet, SOW thistle,
hollyheck. dahlia, garden beans, corn,
tomato, onion, carnation, sweet pea,
hedge nettle, nasturtium. morning
glory. clover, wild vetch. ironweed.
Jerusalem oak, wild geranium, evening
primrose. pokeweed and strawberry.
Immunity From Pest.
Many of these plants are useless
weeds which can well be destroyed.
Where this has been done in and
around cotton fields, 1t has been found
in several instances that complete Inn
munity from the pest has been en-
joyed the following season. Many
cases of cotton infestation from the
red spider, however. can be traced to
cultivated plants in nearby dooryards.
Such plants should be examined close
ly and sprayed as soon as they show
any signs of infestation. The govern
ment investigators have tested large
number of spray combinations in their
work against the red spider and have
found that the following are thorough
ly satisfactory:

gallons of water); (2) llme-sulphur
