Also for or against theHBonus bill The summary shows, in regard to prohibition, that 38.69o of the voters. favor strict en- forcemerts 40.89o for modification and 20.6so for repeal.
 The final ballots show that 1he majority favor. a bonus for ex-ser- vice men. The grand total, which includes the. main poll, the factory poll and the women's poll, gives a total which represents 51.2% in favor of bonus and 48.8%o as .0p- posed.
 Since the Digest started the poll, papers all over the country have commented upon authenticity of such a vote. As near as we can determine the majority of newspapers believe it

Garlic

Our garden crops have come from far where other climes and peoples are. From mountain valleys of Peru the asnappy snap bean comes to you. In Mexico sprang Indian corn, in India the cuke was born The cab bage halls from Europe's sea land, hot weather spinach from New Zea- land But there's one poppy garden plant we natives mostly do not want. When long of yore its fumes arose and helped to, shape the Roman nose, favored food was garlic then for fighting fowls and fighting men. They mixed it with the warriors hash and with the rooster's morning mash. It kept the legions prined for war till fear of Rome spread near and far, and doubtless made game fighting cocks of pacitisiic Plymouth Rocks. A shrinking rab- bit fed up thus would l.ck hippo potamus.~ Hence sprang old tales of sudden death from dragons staying with their breath. / |

more than an illustration of jonr- nalistic enterprise, honestly con- ducted. They believe it to be true sentiment of large number of men and women, the influence of which will be manifest in legislation sooner or later to come before congress. Furthermore, it indicates that the majority never favored "bone dry' law. The ballots for modification alone show that greater number favor light wines and beer in prefer ence to the present bone dry state. But if the number for repeal are added to those for modification, 1t gives the Volsteadites still more about which to worry.
 We believe the number of ballots cast showing preference for modi- fcation, indicates that the common saloon as conducted in this country has been forever relegated to ancient history. If this is true we offer a word of thanksgiving, for the aver ! age rum hole" was den of vice, a purloiner of character and a stumbling block on the road to happi- ness for countless thousands of other wise upright men and women. Still more could be said of the ribaldry which existed, the varying degree o1 which was governed only by compul l sion.
 WithT light wines and beer we have no quarrel, nor do we offel even an argument except which mght be called favorable. If it was possible to obtain either or both ot these two beverages at the same time one purchased an order of groceries we believe drunkenness would not bt more comman than at present. A! Roger Babson, the famous statisti elan, says: "Until the desires o1 people are changed legislation doe not accomplish much.

HOPE REVIVED

Meetings of the Dairymen's League held last week in New Mil ford and Great Harrington, have re- newed the faith which many poolers have in the cooperative plan of. milk disposal In others it has helped to bolster up the waning spirit of en- thusiasm, through enlightenment with facts pertaining to the true situation, leaving the conviction in the minds of many that all will yet be right. -~' e.. 's.a< < Hope fof>the success of the pool ing plan was at ebb tide in the breasts of many during the past few months, due. to the fact that non poblers seemed to be getting any, where from thirty cents to a dollar a hundred more for their milk. Many even went so far as to say that when their present contract expired they would no longer pool their milk, In the meantime the non-poolers has been rejoicing, or at least taking much satisfaction, from the fact that he didn't join the pool.
 At both of the meetings above mentioned, the dairymen were in- formed that the first plant for the distribution of milk in New York city, had been purchased. Naturally enough from the dairymen's stand point thisais considered the entering wedge in the buc:aece of distribution, which will not only act as a stabill- ger to the market, but will prove the nucleus of a group of League-owned distributing plants. Furthermore, steps have already been taken which may pave the way for a shipping plant at Great Harrington.
 In addition, to facts, explanations regarding the financial condition of the league, relative to plants owned cash on hand and thelvalue as form of exchange of the certificates ot indebtedness, were made. Apparent, ly to the majority present these ex- plantations were satisfactory. Al least renewed interest is seen in the pooling plan. .
 Honest cooperation cannot helE but succeed if proper administration is at the head. The pooling plan will go to one extreme or to the other Either it will prove the greatest helg ever given the farmers in marketing their milk at a fair price, or it will be the most costly~bit' of experiment work ever attempted by the farmer

LEATHER BECOMES STRONGER

comparative tests Of leather TO be
sure that all pieces tested are under
the same humidity conditions. A good
piece Of leather tested In q dry at
mosphere might appear TO be weaker
than O much poorer piece tested when
the air was moist.
Tests made Of more than 500 pieces
taken from the most uniform part Of

LAMBING-OFF so PROFITABLE
FARMERS WILL TRY 1T
AGAIN

A lambing-off demonstration In La
Porte County, Ind, proved so success
full last year that plans have been
made for similar one this year. Last
year q 30-acre field was planted TO
corn and Ito San soy beans. The bean
seed for all but 6 acres was inoculated.
The beans were planted with q soy
bean attachment on the corn planter
ut the rate Of 8 pounds an acre.
When the corn and beans matured,
80 lambs, purchased for $685. hun
dred pounds, were turned In TO harvest
them. The lambs were sold for $10.25
q hundred pounds, with total profit
Of 1855. After the lambs were remov-
ed from the field about 30 bushels of
corn were picked up and some hogs and
other live stock turned In TO clean up
the remainder.
The growth Of beans on the 6 acres
planted with uninoculated seed was
decidedly inferior TO the remainder of
the field. The demonstration this year
will be the third one Of this kind on
the one farm. The first year only loo
lambs were fed on the demonstration
plat, but a profit satisfactory to the
owner was made on them.
