DR.. FRANCE FEELS SURE
Of VICTORY At POLLS
Before Leaving Cumberland Saturday
He and Senator ZihIman Visited
Men in Shops.

After most successful campaigning
trip Of week in the western counties
OF the state, where he personally met
several thousand business men. miners
and other voters. DR.. Joseph l. France,
Republican nominee for the United
States Senate, returned to Baltimore
late Saturday night, having motored all
the way from Cumberland. DR.. France
expects to remain in Baltimore this
week, comforting with the party lead
ers about his campaign and getting rid
of weeks accumulation of mail mat
ter.
According to DR.. France, who ap-
peared highly elated over the success
of his trip through Allegany and
Garrett counties, there is no doubt of
the waning strength of Congressman
Lewis in this section, much of that
feeling being apparent among the
miners, thousands of whom resideJin
Allegany county alone. DR.. France
met many of them who expressed the
belief that much of the future pros
perity of the mining interests of the
state depends largely upon the cleo
ton of Republican Senator and, if
possible, an entire change in the
political aspect of the state. That
there has been q business depression
ever since the Democrats went into
power was evidenced by the statement
of several prominent business men of
Oakland and Cumberland, who were
positive that return of the old-time
prosperity could only be brought about
by Republican administration.
Before leaving Cumberland Satur-
day afternoon, DR.. France and State
Senator Zhlman visited the nam
moth shops of the Baltimore and
/ Ohio Railroad, where more than l,20O
men are employed. They were met by
Thomas r. Stewart. master-mechanic,
who, together with A. ]. Cromwell
and j. c. Shuck, piloted them through
the shops, where they were able tC
meet hundreds of the men. DR.. France
and Senator Zihlman were entertained
at dinner in the Railroad Young Men:
Christian Association, where agar
they came in contact with men who
promised to support both DR.. France
and Mr.. Zihlman in their respectiv,
senatorial and congressional fights thi
fall. William c. Montignani, secretary
of the association, treated the candi
dates royalty and while they ate dime
Professor Frank Brookman, leader o
the association band, played severa

LIME THE FIELDS
SAYS AN EXPERT
Good Results Have Been OBJ
tanned by That Method in
Years Comedy

Free use of lime raised big crops in
the Susquehanna valley and it can do
it again, says Professor Franklin
Menges. soil expert of the State De-
partment of Agriculture.
THE further Investigations into use
of lime are pushed, the stronger they
become. A field which had not been
farmed for a number of years and
which had been pastured to death,
was plowed up in the Spring several
years ago and fairly well prepared
and sown with soy beans, with the
expectations of raising a small crop
of this leGume to plow down to get
the land into some sort of shape to
produce farm crops. The soils were
tested for acidity before the land was
plowed for planting soy beans, and
the surface soil was found to be quite
sour while the subsoil was only
slightly so. Some time before plow
ing down the soy beans the surface
and subsoil were again tested and
while they were still sour, the acidity
in the surface soil was much less than
before plowing, while that of the sub
soil was about the same.
The soils produced a splendid crop
of soy beans, much larger than was
expected, and when plowed down re-
turned to the soil fully sixty pounds
of nitrogen to every acre of the field.
After the land was we'll cultivated and
the agencies of decay and nitrification
became normally ctive, it was con-
verted into an Available farm and
when the wheat was sown, 1t made a
splendid beginning in the Fall of the
year which was renewed in the Spring,
producing the wheat crop of the COM
munity with a setting of clover and
timothy not equaled on this farm for
years, and an exception for the neigh
borhood. This field was heavily lined,
the evidences Of which are still pres
ent from about fifteen or twenty years
ago.
The soils of another field on this
same farm which had not been lined
and which had been pastured in the
same way when tested showed the soil
and the subsoil to be equally sour.
and when plowed and prepared and
seeded with soy beans produced only
very ordinary crop, approximately
only one-third of the yield of the for
mer field with a hesitating starting
and weakly growing and small yield
ing wheat crop and with a similar be-
ginning of clover and timothy. Soil
testing revealed these conditions and
crop results could approximately be
foretold under normal conditions"

AS early as SIS o'clock the first
specials left the Philadelphia and
Reading station. There were a dozen
cars apiece on each. To say that the
GO-capacity seating arrangements were
overtaxed is putting it mildly. Shortly
after noon three more trains went

KEEPING CUT FLOWERS FRESH
Must Be Properly Taken Care of, and
Here Are Some Suggestions
of Moment.

The only drawback to cut flowers is
that they wither so quickly. and in
keeping them fresh some seem to have
more luck than others.
For instance, in the matter of VIC
lets, it is possible to wear them sew
eral times without noticing the over
towering stale odor which proclaims
them beyond redemption
Of course many people find that they
cannot wear cut flowers even for one
afternoon because in some cases the
body heat seems to wilt them. but II
this can be avoided it is quite pos
sible to find a bunch almost as fresh
the second day as on the first IL they
were properly guarded overnight.
Keep the box that they came in and
when you take them off hold the stems
under running water for a few min
nutes. taking care not to wet the VIC
let's themselves.
Then wrap them up in the oiled pa
per and put them back in the covered
box outside the window if it is cool;
if not, in the refrigerator. but in either
case keep them wrapped.
This treatment seems to restore the
flowers and hold in the delicious odor
which so soon becomes rank If they
are kept unwrapped in close room.
Some people think pinch of salt in
he water will keep cut flowers fresh
onger and so it does in some cases.
n others it seems to change the col
,rs little. With roses it is success
ul. but not so much so with violets
| piece of gum camphor is said to be
N excellent preservative in the water,
nd others advocate small lump of
harcoal, but in any case the water
hould be changed daily and the flow

more, this seed is of such shape and
size that it is difficult to separate it
from the wheat. The weed is widely
distributed over the United States and
is especially abundant in sections pro-
ducing soft red winter, spring and
durum wheat. Every farmer, there
fore, should strive to prevent its OBJ
tanning foothold on his farm.
Corn cookie seed is particularly OBJ
jectionable in wheat because it con-
tains a poisonous element known as
saponin or sapotoxin.
OF the other impurities examined,
kinghead, sometimes known as great
ragweed, is frequently found in wheat
in quantities as high as 8 or per
cent. Under such circumstances the
flour contains black specks and the
color and texture of the bread are
seriously affected. Even as small an
amount as 1 per cent of kinghead seed
is noticeable in flour. Vetch seed also
alters the color of the flour, giving it
a yellowish appearance as well as a
of vetch.
AS has already been stated, the
presence of any one of these impuri-
ties is very likely to reduce the price
the farmer receives for his wheat Not
only is the price per bushel usually
less, but there may also be a dock
age" charge. Dockage is trade term
for the amount deducted on account
Of the presence of foreign material
from the gross weight of the wheat
For example, if a load of so bushels of
wheat is found to contain 2 pounds OF
'oreign matter per bushel, 100 pounds
s deducted from the lot for "dockage.'

In past years the old style f1aring

the maximum opportunity for foreign
matter to drop into the milk. Gig. 81
The essentials of sanitary milk pail
are first, that it shall be provided
with small opening; second, that all
seams and grooves shall be flushed
with solder to obliterate the crevices
which harbor bacteria; third, that pro-
vision be made for pouring out the
milk over an uncontaminated surface;
and, fourth, that the pail shall be of
proper height for convenience in milk
ing. A small opening in the milk pail
is necessary to reduce the chance for
dirt and other foreign material to get
into the milk This opening should
be as small as possible without reduc-
ing its size to the point where it will
be unduly difficult to draw the milk
into it. From the standpoint of clean
