planted to Bermuda onions Is estl-
mated by the United States Depart

and II is forecast that IL .522 acres will
be harvested. This compares with
10,503 acres harvested In 1921.

plies, prices, weather conditions, and
the many factors that affect the mar
keting OF onions will be reported to
the growers daily.
Financial success In producing and
marketing Bermuda onions is possible
only when the economic relation be-
tween the northern-grown winter stor-
age crop and the perishable Bermuda
crop Is taken into consideration, say
federal marketing experts. The Texus
crop Is marketed In a period OF two
months, and the highest type of mar
keting efficiency is required. There
mny be large carry-oyer OF northern
grown storage onions; the markets for
the Bermuda crop are long distance
from producing points with consequent
high costs for transportation bad
weather may quickly impair the quai-
ity of the stock; the crop may be
larger than the country can consume
and toward the end OF the season
there Is competition from other early
producing states.

because they are the only means by
which this disease can spread.
The pines In the plantation were
examined in the fall of 1921 by agents
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture. As result OF the trees
being exposed for single year to the
blister rust on the currant and goose
berry bushes, It was found that 80
trees showed Infection originating In
1919, 1877 were missing and 4S3 showed
no sign of Infection. Thus 1910 per
cent of the living trees or 11.20 per
cent of all the trees set out on the

In a single year, and will succumb
sooner or later. II the bushes had
been removed before the pines were

The disease Is rapidly increasing on
white pines In the northeastern states,
and prompt action by pine owners In
destroying currant and gooseberry
bushes Is necessary to prevent serious
damage and loss to the pine crop.
Since wild gooseberry and currant
bushes are among the first plants to
sprout and leaf out. they can be dis

most favorable for the pine wood-lot

Search for the bushes is conducted
systematically, and IL care is taken to

PRIMARY is ALL RIGHT

Although there are many unfavor-
able arguments against the primary
election, we are of the opinion that the
main wrong is not with the primary
law but with the people to whom the
law gives the greatest of privileges
ar equal voice in the choice of party
candidates, taking the selections away
from the political convention where in
varibly the bosses rule the few repre-
sentative delegates of the people.
We say that the people are at fault
rather than the primary law in that
largely the people neglect to register
their choice at the primary, leaving the
voting to those who are interested in
the candidates to be nominated. But
at that there are sufficient uncontroll-
able votes cast to keep the bosses and
special interest factions guessing and
more inclined to fairness than was
ever possible through the medium of
the old party conventions. And if the
entire vote registered at the primary,
the law as intended would be more
fully appreciated as the best and most
direct method for a full and free voice
of the entire people.

Every chamber of commerce in the
United States is urging the people OF
the community to patronize their local
home industries. Mr.. Ford would re-
ply to them purely industrial or com.

thing at all can stand on it's own feet
He would reject this appeal for the
support Of local commercial enter
prises. He would buy where he could
buy the cheapest. Every newspaper
in the United States, Republican and
Democratic alike, is urging it's readers
to buy commodities produced at home,
even if they must pay a little more
than they would pay for commodities
manufactured. outside. Their argu-
ment is, and it is sound argument, that
by %patronizing the home establishment
the money is kept at home to pay the
wages of the home people and afford
larger patronage for the home mer-
chant and every industry Of the COM
munity. This argument applies with
no less force to the upbuilding Of ma
tional industries.
Prior to 1890 the United States had
been buying practically all it's tin
plate in Europe. Those economists who
believed in the Ford doctrines said
that an Industry that is worth any
thing at all can stand on it's own feet"
and they opposed a protective tariff.

FORD'S PATENT PROTECTION

Quite likely some people will be mis-
led by the plausible but fallacious
statement recently made by Henry
Ford that "the purely industrial or
commercial enterprise that is worth
anything at all can stand on it's own
feet" His statement is used as an
argument against protective tariffs
and ship subsidies. The assertion made
with such p~ositiveness will be accept
ed as true by those only who refuse
to study history.
Mr.. Ford has established an enter
prise which he probably thinks is an
illustration of an undertaking that
islands on its own feet" He has no
government subsidy; he needs no pro-
tective tariff. But the fact is that
the building of his great enterprise
was made possible by protection af-
forded by the government under pat
ent laws. His patents may have ex-
pired but in the days when he was de-
veloping his enterprise it was the pa
tents that protected him from compe-
tition. Now he is producing on so ex-
tensive a basis that apparently no one
a meet his costs of production.
Mr.. Ford's statements are at vari-
ance with doctrines maintained by
American public leaders from the
foundation of our government. Hamil.
ton, Washington and jefferson were
advocates of protective tariffs as aids
in the establishment and maintenance
of enterprises in the New World. We
have set up standards Of living which
are maintained in neither Europe OF
Asia, and if we are to continue to
maintain those standards there must
be imposed a tax on importations Of

NO USURPATION; NO SHIRkING

There are a few belligerent indivi-
duals scattered over the country who
have been clamoring for the use of
military force by the federal govern
ment for the termination of the rail-
road and coal strikes. These few men
who do not themselves feel the re-
straining influence of responsibility,
criticize President Harding for the pa
tient and deliberate manne in which
he has endeavored to bring harmony
where there is controversy, and to re-
new industrial activity where there is
idleness. But the thoughtful man who
advocates observance of constitutional
requirements and who believes in gov
eminent by law rather than by hys-
terra, will heartily endorse the course
the President has pursued.
The preservation of peace and order
is not primarily a federal function.
The founders of our government, hav-
ing had unpleasant relations with out
side rulers, took care to guard the
right of the states to exercise the po-
lice power in the preservation of do
nestle peace. The constitution pro-
vides, however, that on application of
the legislature of a state, or of the
executive when the legislature cannot
be convened, the United States shall
protect each state against domestic
violence. So long as the power of the
state and it's subordinate divisions is
sufficient to protect it's people against
domestic violence, the performance OF
this duty should be left to the state
authorities. When they announce theil
inability to protect their people it viii
be ample time for the President to ex.

ercise the power of the federal gov.
eminent.
1t must be remembered, too, thai
neither the merits nor the faults h
connection with the coal controversy
and the railroad controversy, ar eall
on side. The president would
scarcely be justified in assuming to
set himself up as practically a dictator
unless events shall demonstrate that
no other course promises protection Of
life, liberty and property. Hasty &C.
ton in the controversial stages of the
present labor disputes would have un-
doubtedly brought injustice to one side
or the other, and perhaps to both. The
only duty of an executive in a labor
controversy is to see that all citizens
| are protected in their right to work
and that the decisions of legally on
stituted government tribunals shall be
observed. Mr.. Harding's past acts and
utterances give assurance that he will
neither usurp authority nor shirk a
duty.
Instead of becoming doubtful as to
the wisdom and strength of character
of the President, because of his de-
liberate course, the country should
have renewed confidence in him as a
chief executive. Those who are prone
to criticize should aim their criticisms
against local authorities who nave not
exercised their full power in an eff
fort to suppress domestic violence.
They may rest assured that if the
time comes when conditions call for
the use of federal power, the President
as commander-in-chief Of the military
forces, will give the necessary auth
GRITTY, and that authority will be ex-
ercised by a secretary of war, who,
like the President, is accustomed to
perform his duties with deliberation,
with wisdom, and with courage.
