NEW YORK, June 2S.-The Demo-
cratic national platform, as advocated
by the national convention, contains no
plank proposing to grant to the people
or the District of Columbia any voice
whatever in their government, national
or local.

lowed the lead of the Republican ma
uonal convention at Cleveland To the

sented by Col Robert n Harper in ia

revival of the spirit of local self
government essential to the preservation

The platform pledges to the principal

FORD SAYS HIGH SURTAX HITS
POOR AS WE'LL.
COULD NEVER HAVE DEVELOPED HIS
INDUSTRY UNDER PRESENT PLAN.

New York, Feb. 26.-An administra-
ton or set of legislators advocating high
taxes should be run out Of office, in the
opinion of Henry Ford. He also cou-
tends that high taxes on the rich put
burdens on the poor.
High surtaxes, he said, will curtail
industrial activity. His views are eX-
pressed in an interview obtained by
Samuel Crowlher and Will be published
in an early issue of Golfers Weekly.
Take the Ford car as an illustration.
We had very little money when we be-
gan to build that car. We took out small
wages for ourselves and put tack the
profits into better machinery-WhIch en-
abled US to reduce prices. We made
more money and we put that back. Our
profits began to be large and il the pre-
sent income tax had been in force we
should have had to pay most OF what we
earned TO the government.
We did not spend the money we
made. 1t has gone to the support Of
1000. 900 people. 1t has permitted the
farmer and his wife to come to town
whenever they liked. 1t has let millions
of people get out into the fresh air, and
it has made the automobile a thing that
the poor man can have.

Important to Note Size
and Shape of All Eggs

For those who are shipping eggs to
special markets, it is important to
watch the size and shape OF the eggs,
as well as to see how many the hens
are laying and what color they are.
Too long an egg brushes from the top
in shipping, and cuts down the re-
ceipts over a period of months; too
wide an egg brushes from the SIDE
Customers demand a fair amount Of
uniformity in size and shape, because
it makes more attractive selling They
are willing to pay more for such quail
ity.
'The new breeder of today can
make more money by breeding for
egg quality than for more eggs" says
an eastern authority. Many who go
in for producing more eggs overlook
so many things. recently saw
poultryman who had a number of hens
with records up to 800 eggs per year
each, and he had flock of 200 aver
age, but of nearly 100 eggs saw, from
as many different hens, not over

market and bring top price. Some
would simply have gone as miscel-
laneous eggs; they were too small and

SEED QUALITIES
SOUGHT IN CORN

Beauty should not overshadoW use
fulness In show corn. This is the
opinion of farmers throughout the
state.
They report that in some of the
grain shows held In the past few
years, corn of a type which has not
proven the best yielder has been
shown preferences, undermining corn
growers confidence in the show ring.
"Show corn should be the best seed
corn" is the terse way r. A. Moore Of
the Wisconsin College of Agriculture
puts it. He believes that it should
have all the practical seed qualities
and just little more some of the
fancy show points added. II there
were way to tell by the looks Of
an ear whether it would be good
yielder or not, Moore would have that
the deciding factor.
Growers find that the smoother
types of a variety often outyield the
rougher. Breeding corn for produc-
ton until it gives a uniformly high
yield is the only way to insure good
crops, according to Moore. "Produc-
ton is the result of many influences
both inherited and of the soil and
season" he declares. "a tendency
to yield well can be inherited by the
corn so that, when the growing condi-
tons are right, the crop is good.
This is the value of seed from varie-
ties which have been developed for
high yields"

INDUSTRY is SAVED
BY CABBAGE PLANT
How a ''YeIIows" Resistant Was
Discovered and Developed
by Wisconsin Experts.

Only few years ago number Of
cabbage growers were walking de-
jectedly through a 2O-acre cabbage
field on the farm of w. ]. Hansche in
Racine county, Wisconsin. With
blight and ruin spread all about them
their disappointment added to the sor-
ry-looking sight. But little of the
crop was worth harvesting and un-
fortunately it was much the same In
other fields in that notable cabbage
growing section.
The story of the detection and how
the farmers found the way out has
been told many times but never bet
ter than by B. B. Swingle in a recent
issue Of one Of Wisconsin's farm pa
pers.
He tells us how dark the future ap-
peared to these growers as they looked
up and down the ruined rows. They
had succeeded In establishing their
position as growers and shippers of
Holland Danish storage cabbage on
the great markets Of the central
states. They had built great store
houses at heavy cost. All was ready
for an expansion Of the business to
greater and still more profitable
stages. Then came the scourge Of cab
bage yellows.
Seemingly to add TO their troubles
other cabbage diseases had been APP
pearing and among the number were
