The jun DO judicial district has
never had a more interesting g

of candidates, all of them good

1t is no easy thing to build

doing it, he has been called sew

He was enc of the strongest fea-

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-The political

sonable promise OF some sort of uni

who gave the federation to clearly
understand that Bavaria and other
states will not tolerate either the old

cial democrats, under Scheidenamann

formerly. Moreover, each is especial

In the meantime. Liebknecht's boil

with. It's scope Is uncertain, due to
underground methods. 1t Is probably

apparently making no headwaX in the

are already strongly resolved TO sup

with the natural Teutonic tendency
toward organization and discipline.
probably lies an assurance that the
new Germany will not follow in Rus

FIRST COMBINED
HARVESTER ON PUSH
AND PULL VARIETY

The combined harvester and
lthresher, or combine" familiar
sight in UmatiIla county wheatfields,
was first built and operated in 1852
by an Oregon man, Levi T. Davis, OF
McMinnville, Oregon, who is still Iiv-
ling.
A picture of the first combine ever
built hangs in County Agent NJ. s.
Ishrock's office in the federal build
ling, and from the photograph does
mot appear to have cut over about
seven feet. This first machine was of
the push and pulI' variety and was
patented by Davis and his brother
who began manufacturing machines
in the oregon Iron Works in Port
land.
After several machines were made
and sold, a fire in 1867, swept the Ore
gon Iron Works and destroyed all ex-
Icept the patent right and one ma
chine. These were sold TO d. NJ. Gre
ary who shipped the machine to Cali
lfornia and began manufacturing
them there, afterwards selling out to
Holt brothers.
Mr.. Davis still has invoices for ma
teriaI and labor for construction OF
several machines dated 1867.
BY a strange coincidence. a fire in
the patent office in Washington, d. c.
destroyed the model upon which the
patent was issued. This model cost
Davis Brothers 5000.

THE $40 MAINE DAT.

The following has been made public
from the office of Charles d. Woods, d.
rector of the Maine agricultural expert
ment station at the University OF Name
The Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station began it's oat testing and breeding
work at Highmoor Farm in 1909. During
the past nine years the Station has tested
more than 60 distinct commercial varle-
ties of oats. These varieties have been
gathered from all parts of the United
States and Canada as we'll as from some
European countries. Many of these va
rieties have shown themselves unit Tor
Maine conditions and have been discarded
after one or two years. All of the more
promising varieties have been retained
and tested for a longer time.
In addition to the testing OF well known
varieties the Station has believed that 1t
was possible to breed new varieties which
would be better adapted to Maine condl-
lions than any oats which were already
in existence. Working along this line
the Station has produced hundreds OF
entirely new varieties many of which
possess characters never before obtained
in commercial oat. For one reason or
another, it is necessary to discard the
large majority of these new varieties
Some will show excellent qualities IN
every way except in one or two dlrec-
lions Some will have two weak straw

NATIONAL GRANGE PLATFORM.

The National Grange, after an all-day
session, Nov. 21st, adopted recon-
struction platform which calls for drastic
government reforms and readjustments
affecting agriculture. The grange re-
commends:-
"That the present system of marketing
and distribution is clumsy, wasteful and
inefficient and should be abolished and
that unnecessary midilemen should be
eliminated.
THAT the censorship on free press
and free speech should be removed and
the zone system discontinued.
"That the government should center its
activities in the building of market and
post roads instead of spending money on
boulevards.
THAT agriculture should be fully rep
resented in all legislative bodies.
"That secretaries of agriculture should
be practical farmers.
"That the farm land bank should be
extended, discouraging land tenantry and
abandoned farms.
THAT munition plants should be con-
verted to the manufacture of fertilizers,
freeing the nation from dependency on
foreign supplies.
''That urban standards of education
should not become guides of the rural
/ system"
