For this reluctance two reasons were

said that in making his proposal Mr..
Doherty was bluiiing and that the unions
were too busy with their nine hour day
agitation to get together and call the

operatives, without knowledge Of execu-

1t is in dispute whether Colonel

might turn out to be another gold
brick" Mr.. Hopkins says the colonel
made the statement to him ain the
early part of the year" in discussing
the presidential nomination. The
colonel vehemently denies Mr.. Hop
kins' quotation, and denounces 1t as
"false, absolutely false"
AS matters stand, the public is
forced to judge by probabilities. A
man as garruious and Incorporate of
speech as the colonel and who habItu-
ally disputes words attributed to him
may at least be suspected of having
a defective memory.
On many occasions 1t has been the
coloners misfortune to disagree with
other people as to his utterances. No
man In public life has more often
faced this predicament, and no one has
more persistently, in the face of the
evidence, branded as "liar" the per-
son whose memory appeared to be bet

CONTROL OF SORGHUM SMUT
Treating Solution Made by Mixing Of
FormaIin With Water--sprInI<ling
Seed IL Easy.

; Kernel smut Of the sorghum crops
may be controlled by the same treat
ment given to kill oats smut. The
treating solution Is made by mixing a
mint Of formalin (also called formal
dehyde) with 30 to 40 gallons Of wa
ter. The seed may either be sprinkled
or immersed. Sprinkling is easier and
II done carefully is just as effective.
In the sprinkling method the seed is
spread out on a clean floor and the
solution is applied with sprinkling
can. The seed is stirred while being
sprinkled. When each seed Is mois-
tened the seed Is piled up and covered
tightly with wet sacks. blankets or
canvas for several hours. Then it Is
spread out to dry. Successive lots are
handled In the same way.
Treated seed should not come in
contact with containers that have held
nntreated seed, unless those containers
have also been treated with the solu-
tion. Sorghum smut causes a very
large annual loss. 1t affects all of the
sorghums except milo.
Milo is said not to be affected by
smut, and milo seed, therefore, does
not require treatment.

istic of the American weekly press,
Golfers refers to "the South which

vote"
1t is not the South but the North
which supplies the bulk of the Demo
cratic vote. In 1912 Mr.. Wilson's vote
In New York alone was 655, ATS, and
his vote In Alabama, Arkansas, Flor
ida. Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi,
North Carolina. South Carolina and
Virginia amounted to 682, 189.
The Democratic vote Of New York
practically equaled the total Demo
cratic vote of nine Southern states.
The Democratic vote In Pennsylvania
exceeded the Democratic vote Of
Texas and Tennessee combined. One
third of the total Democratic vote of
the country came from five Northern
states-New York, New Jersey, Penn

tire South supplied only one-fifth.

MARKET ALL SURPLUS MALES
All Young cockereIs Not Intended for
Breeding Should Be Either Gold
or caponIxed.

Surplus cockerels should be mar.
keted as soon as possible Is the ad-
vice Of poultry specialists. All young
male chickens that are not intended
for breeding purposes should be either
sold as broilers or caponized. The
things to keep In mind Is that the long
er cockerel is held after he has
reached the broiler stage the less II
his actual value as market product.
Only in special cases should the cock
erels Of the Leghorn breed be capon-
lied. Breeds of the heavier types, such
as Plymouth Rocks or Rhode Island
Reds can be caponized with profit. II
the cockerels are not marketed at the
proper time money will be lost, un.
less they are so selected az to bring
more as breeding stock. On the other
hand cockerels Of only market value
should be disposed Of as soon as there
is market for them. Two-pound
broilers that bring II cents pound In
July, are worth more than the same
cockerels would be two months later
at 8 cents pound, at which time
they will be classed as stays. Be
sides the actual loss In money, tive
months feed and work Is also lost
