HAY HARVESTERS IN EAST
ARE RECEIVING GOOD PAY

The hay harvest is in full swing
throughout Delaware county and is
giving temporary employment to n
large number of men. Some from as
far away as Oneonta are working on
the Meridale farms job, at Hobart
where there is a large acreage of
grass. Report is that only $3.50 a
day, without board is paid there.
The average wages, however, seem to
be about IS with board and in Bo-
VIVA some are paying from Sc to 81
with board for good men.
Around Hobart and neighboring
towns the crop is reported to average
heavy. Farmers are making good
progress on the harvest despite the
fact that farm labor is somewhat
scarce.-N. Y. Times.

Full Crops in Spite of
Reduced Water Supply

The flow of water in the irriga
ton canals which get considerable
portion of their supply from the ma
tural flow of the streams has now
reached about its lowest point. As
a result the trouble the individual
farmer is having in getting the re-
duced streams over the land is at q
maximum.
This is very good time for the
water users on streams and canals
where water has always been deliv-
cred on a continuous flow basis to
try out the rotation method. The
flow on practically all projects has
been so reduced that it is possible
to carry all the water available to
any canal during a small part of the
time. Much better results
will be attained by running a full
head part of the time and allowing
the canals to be dry during the In
terval between runs by running q
small stream all the time.
Rotation Saves Time
During this season of the year
your hay and grain crops must be
harvested and any plan which will
permit the irrigation to be complet-
ed in a small part of the time will
make saving in labor expense pos
sible. BY using a full head and
staying right with it the irrigator
will be able to cover more land with
the same amount of water than by
using a partial head, thus saving
water. By doing all the irrigation in
one or two days out of couple of
weeks, time is saved which may well
be spent on some other work
Seepage losses in canals and lat |
erals can also be very materially re-
duced by this means. AS long as
there is water in a ditch some of it
will be seeping out through the bot
tom and sides. This loss is very |
large part of the total amount of
water entering most bitches. AS
soon as the water is out this loss
must stop. If there is no flow two
thirds of the time nearly two-thirds
of the loss Is prevented.
Helps Control Moss
Where it is possible the most sat
isfactory method of controlling the
moss in canals and laterals is by
killing the plants by drying out.
Moss will die out on few days ex-
posure to the hot sun. When it has

An Interesting Contingency

usual care in the selection of nominees
. for the vice presidency this year be-
sause, az they argue, events may fall
out as to place one of those nominees in
the presidency on March the fourth next.
That certainly would be the case If no presi-
Dental candidate should receive majority
airAAr of the electoral vote or of the vote in
the House OF Representatives. In such
Quandary the vice presidential candidate
1t were majority, would act as president.
II, however, no vice presidential candidate
had a majority, then the Senate would
choose a vice president from the two candi-
dates for that office having the highest num-
Der of votes, and he would become the ma
tons chief magistrate.
Since the adoption of the Twelfth amend
ment to the Constitution, by which these
rules prescribed, there has been but
one instance of failure to elect a president
by the ordinary process. That was in 1924,
when none of the four candidates received
q majority. The returns gave Andrew Jack
son ninety-nne electoral votes; John Quincy
Adams, eighty -four; William H. Crawford
of Georgia, forty-one, and Henry Clay, thir-
ty-seven. The election thus was thrown
into the House of Representatives, where
Adams, with the support of Clay received
states, and so was declared elected. The
vice president was John c. Calhoun, who
had received clear majority of the cleo
otral voters. Only once has the senate had
occasion to exercise its privilege under the
Twelfth amendment to elect vice president.
In 1887, none of the vice presidential candi-
dates having majority, the Senate chose
Richard NJ. Johnson, of Kentucky.
When the House is called upon to elect
. president 1t must vote not as individual
members, but by states, and majority of
the total number OF states is necessary to
election. This means that the present House
OF Representatives could not, or would not.
elect; for it is politically so constituted that
neither a Republican nor Democratic cam
didate could secure majority OF its votes.
The Republicans have the delegations of
twenty-three states; the Democrats, OF TWEEN
ty: while five delegations are tied, so that
they would have only a half vote or else
none at all. Possibly, of course, there may
be changes in some of the delegations ere
March the fourth next. Touching these con
tingencies, one observer points out that New
York state may be made Republican for
such an election by action on the contested
seat of Representative Sol Bloom, Demo-
GRAFT" Should Mr.. Bloom be unseated the
New York delegation, for purposes of a
House election OF the president, would be
Republican. But" it is added. that alone
would not give the Republicans a majority
OF the forty-eight states. Another state
delegation must be obtained. Some Repub-
licans have figured it out that New Hamp-
shire might be converted from a tied state
