 The Socialists are resolved not to combine with any other party, but the Radicals have decided to form union tickets in some districts with others purely republican organizations.
 The wide difference between prcsi- den,ial elections in France and the Uui,ld States iS illustrated in the fact that here the president is chosen by parliament, while in Aherica the chief executive is elected by the vote of the people for electors. Contrary to what opinions abroad might expect from the French, elections here are peaceful when compared to those of America.
 Entirely ncw legislative and cvecu- tive machinery is to be selected. Th: order of this election will be clcctios of municipal and general councils com bined, of deputies and senators, or ranization of the congress at Versail- les to choose a president, reappoint- mcnt of the old cabinet by the new president and the formation of a new cabinet ny the new premier, unless he chooses to maintain the old cabinet in power.
 Under the new electoral law the legislative districts have been reduced from 66O to S7, and instead of voting for a single deputy, as formerly, the electors will vote for as many depu- ties as are allotted to any one depart men'. The number of these ranges from one to forty-four. The govern mcnt Tho number ?u pgS ment will print and circulate the tick cts and campaign literature at the ex penSe Of the candidates.

ELECT
 PRESIDENT IN
 JANUARY NEXT

LYONS, France, Nov. & The election of a successor to President Poincare is now only two months dis tant, yet parliamentary elections to choose members of the senate and chamber of deputies must first h. held. as these in joint session at Yer sailles in Jaunary must elect the ten tn president of the republic.
 Results of the coming election are regarded as more obscure than any since the fall of the empire. This is all the more true because of the death of one-half million voters in the wa", the coming of age of an equal nun Der. and the anticipated qualifications of party lines by new issues resulting from the war and reconstruction.
 Six hundred deputies and three hun dred senators are to be chosen No aspirant for any of these seats ha; vet officially declared his candidacy. There will be no primaries or local conventions, as in America, but tic candidates will be selected by party committees with various combinations of different parties whose principles

the soil mulch restored or excessive
run-off and evaporation will soon rob
the crop of much-needed moisture.
Promptness In restoring the soil mulch
after each rain is Of great importance.
This work can be rapidly and less ex-
penslvely performed by use of double
cultiyators widened, and by driving
astride each alternate row, as by this
practice the mulch is restored in half
the time necessary to drive astride of
every row.
Corn should not be cultivated so
long as the soil mulch is in good condi-
ton and free of weeds. Corn should
not be cultivated when the soil turns
up in c!ods, breaking the corn roots
and permitting the soil to dry out to
a greater depth than it would If not
cultivated.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural


Approximately 100,000000 acres of
corn in the United States are annually
given two or more civilizations. Guilt
walton is considered essential in the
corn production. The general purpose
OF cultivation Is to promote the early
growth and later development Of the
corn plant. The usual type Of culti-
walton Is sometimes modified to meet
special conditions, such as retarding
the vegetative growth of the plant by
cutting the corn roots In early cultiva-
ton. The kind Of cultivation will also
vary to some extent to meet the re-
quirements of different methods Of
planting.
Some of the most successful corn
growers begin their cultivation before
they plant their crop. They claim
that deep cultivation of the soil at
this time is Of as much value as later
civilizations. 1t causes the soil to
warm more quickly, destroys early
weed growth, and incorporates the veg
etable matter more thoroughly into the
soil.
Corn Is cultivated to prevent weeds
from robblng the corn Of soil moisture
and fertility, to put the surface in the
best condition to absorb rainfall, to
warm the soil by drying its surface
quickly and to save moisture by check
ing the capillary rise to the soil sur
face.
Corn should be cultivated often
enough to keep down the weeds and to
maintain loose soil mulch until the
crop has attained Its growth. To sat
isfy this end a greater number of cul-
tivations will be necessary when rains
at intervals Of a week or SO cause
the surface soil to run together and
crust. This crust must be broken and
