Says Underwood Will Carry Jefferson By Fully 5, 900
Cabaniss Says Result Is No Longer in Doubt Only Cues ton Now Being Size of Majorty-Whte and
 ONeal Forces Both Confident

That Senator Underwood will carry Jef-
 ferson county by from 5000 to 5000 ma
 jority over both of his opponents in the
 long-term senatorial race was confidently
 predicted yesterday by Jelks Cabaniss,
 manager of his campaign in this county.
 Senator Underwood has been gaining
 ground rapidly and consistently the past
 two or three weeks and his committee and supporters now feel confident that all danger of his losing the county has been passed and that the only question yet to be determined is the size of his majority.
 His frank and clear statement of his at titude on the issues of the campaign, the paramount one being whether the man the people send to the Senate of the United States shall represent them or a few la bor leaders at Washington. The rank and file of the working people who have always supported Senator Underwood, his committee is advised, will not turn on him at th.s time merely because he re- fused to do the bidding of few men in
 W ashiEston who attempted to dictate what legislation should be enacted and what rejected.
 NO LONGER IN DOUBT "The result in Jefferson county is no 1 longer in doubt,'' County Chairman Jelks Cabanss stated yesterday. Were the primary held today Senator Underwood, in my judgment. would receive a major l ity over both of his opponents of at least | 5000 votes The opposition is weakening daily and I predict that Senator Under wood will carry Jefferson county over both of his opponents by approximately l 5000 votes.''

the possibilities for the sheep
industry in Maine, being absolutely
certain and willing to argue it at any
tiue or place, that Maine farmers
can and should make money, good
money from that line. He was
speaking on Monday on his favorite
subject and said:
Owing TO the decline in both the
price and demand for wool | did not

bred rams for breeding purposes for
This season. but much to my sur
price the demand for this quality of
stock has come to stay. One of the
greatest influences to stimulate the
demand for n higher class of breed
ing stock has been the wool grading
project. This work being done in
the presence of the owners them
selves has demonstrated to them the
advantages and disadvantages of Sc
lecting breeding stock, as in most
cases where the clip of wool showed
the higher quality in the grading. it
was found to be the result obtained
from the use of pure bred rams.
This naturally brought to the minds

Forestry Department

A story has recently been going the
rounos of the papers 10 the effect that
the birch trees in certain sections of
Maine were being attacked by an in.
sect that defoliated them. 1t was
identified as the buccalatrix, an insect
about quarter of an inch long.
which feeds with the utmost abandon
on the leaves of the birch. The rem
edy for this pest is announced as
arsenate of lead spray to be done in
the spring or by the first of July.
Deputy Forest Commissioner Neil
l.. Niolette. asked about the damage
if any done by this pest, said that the
presence of the insect in certain sec
tions had been reported to the depart
ment but that the only damage SO far
known to have been done by it was
the defoliation of the trees. That OF
course makes an unsightly appear
ance, but has not, so far as known.
injured the trees themselves. 1t is
understood that a parasite is making
great inroads on the ranks of tha IN
sect and it is hoped that the pest will
be thus exterminated.
