They were still perhaps hundred
yards from the we'll, but Furlong s
practiced eye had seen something that
suddenly raised the hair upon his head.
That rope from which was suspended
the heavy charge of liquid death no
longer hung vertically, it no longer ran
over the block and into the casing !,
instead it was falling in loops about

had happened That which he most
greatly feared had come upon him, and
he also turned to flee. But the platform
was slippery or else he tripped over the
rope and fell. The others heard his cry
of terror. He quickly regained his feet,
but to Furlong it seemed as if his move
ments thereafter were maddeningly
slow and deliberate.
The engineers apprehensions had
been we'll grounded. Once again gas
had been released far down in the earth,
and now, like breath forced from the
lungs of some tortured giant, it rose,
propelling the smoothly fitting cart
ridge of nitroglycerine ahead of it as
pea is propelled out of a pea-shooter
1t was phenomenon by no means un-
usual in we'll as unstable in its balance
of forces as this one. In fact, under
like conditions none but a madman
would have dared to risk Maddox's S
maneuver.
The latter had not put fifty feet be-
hind him when up out of the well mouth
shot the cleaning tin cylinder. Directly
above and in its path hung the massive
forty-foot steel bit suspended from ITS
wire cable.
What happened next the observers
were never able to agree upon, but the
world dissolved into an inferno OF
smoke and fame and the suddenness OF
It rocked the sky, upheaved the earth.
The two came together with cataclys-
mic roar. Furlong and Betty Durham
were tossed headlong, flung down like
straws. When they scrambled to their
feet, dazed, shaken, terrified, it was to
find themselves enveloped in mighty
dust cloud The eighty-foot tower OF
heavy timbers was gone; in an instant
lit had utterly vanished. Where it had
stood was a shallow, smoking crater
Splinters of planking, debris OF every
sort, were scattered far and wide par
ticles of earth and gravel were raining
from the heavens with the sound OF
heavy hailstorm; nothing in the ne1gh-
Corhood of the we'll remained except
the boiler and engine, and the former
fay upon its side. Even the bushes had
been whipped out, uprooted, shaved on
as ~ 4 sweeping scythe.
that afternoon Furlong's friend, the
engineer, came over to the farmhouse
with considerable bundle in his arms.

duced economically on land that will
produce less than one-half bale per acre
under average conditions. Soils of low
productivity should be planted to soil
building crops or pasture.
Warm Up Slowly
Poorly drained soils warm up slowly
in the Spring, usually resulting in poor
stands A rank growth is often secured
and boil weevil damage is usually heavy.
Very fertile low lands produce too
much growth, the cotton opens up slowly
and is subject to heavy weevil damage.
The best cotton soils in the Coastal
Plains area are the sandy loans and fine
sandy loans of the Grcenville, MARI
boro, Norfolk, Orangeburg and Ruston
series. In the Piedmont area, the Cecil
sandy loans, Mecklenburg sandy loans
and Davidson loan are the most
productive. WI these soil series do not
occur the well drained sandy loans are
best.

Labor costs are about the same, whether

You can usually produce five bales

Why not plant cotton OH the eight

Less Production Cost.
Then use the same amount OF tertll-

INSECT enemies OF tobacco attack
the plant in the plant bed and in the
field. The flea beetle, or flea bug,
attacks the plant from the time it comes
up and as long as it is green. The flea
beetle is a small brown insect about
I-I5th of an inch long, which hops like
a flea. 1t feeds OH the green tissue, leav~
ing small holes in the leaf, often de-
stroying the plants in the plant bed.
The flea beetle may be poisoned by
mixing one pound of paris green with
five pounds of arsenate of lead, applied
at the rate of one-half pound of the
mixture to 100 square yards of plant
bed
For field control, use three pounds
per acre of the above mixture for newly
set plants.
For half-grown or larger plants, use
four to six pounds per acre.
busted or Sprayed
The mixture may be busted or spray
ed on the tobacco. 1t is also effective
against hornworms. Care should be
used in making and applying this mix
ture as too much paris green will burn
the plants.
The cutworm causes considerable dam
age by eating off the newly set plants.
/ he poison bait is effective In killing
cutworms. The bait may be made by
using 50 pounds of wheat bran, one
pound of paris green, and enough water
to moisten. The bran should be just
moist enough to crumble readily after
being squeezed in the hand. The bait
should be applied late i'll the evening at
the rate of IS TO 20 pounds per acre
broadcast a few days before plants are
set or on the same day.
The bud worm, which damages the
young bud as it grows, may be controlled
bv use of poisoned corn meal bait which
is made by thoroughly mixing one pound
of arsenate of lead with SO pounds of
corn meal, or six heaping tablespoonfuls
of arsenate of lead to one peck OF corn
meal. Early in the morning, when the
bud is open, apply pinch OF this mix
ture directly in the bud OF the plant.
Twelve pounds or one peck is sufficient
for an acre.
Control Horn Worm
The horn worm does considerable
damage BY eating the leaves. This worm
may be controlled by busting with tour
or five pounds of arsenate OF lead per
acre. One pound of paris green mixed
with five pounds of arsenate OF lead'
busted on the tobacco at the rate OF tour
to six pounds per acre, may be used IN
stead of arsenate of lead alone.
When transplanting tobacco, use only
good strong plants of uniform SIZE
Plants should not be drawn from the
bed too long before they are set IN the
field as they wilt and lose their vitality

the outcome should be interpreted.
This pamphlet seemed to indicate that
the Republicans must get 62.7 per cent
of the September vote in Maine in Or
der to carry the Nation in November.
That inference can hardly be correct.
On several occasions the Republicans
have got much less than 62.7 per cent
of the Maine September vote for Gov
ernor but yet have carried the Nation
in November.
Qualified Victory.
In this weeks Maine election for
Governor the Republicans got about
56 per cent of the total vote. If that
figure stood alone the Republicans
could be cheerful. 1t would suggest a
fairly close presidential election. with
the Republicans having a slight advan-
tage. But must We qualify the Repub-
lican vote for Governor in Maine by
the light of their vote for United States
Senator? The Maine senatorial cleo
ton was won by the Republicans, but
only by a narrow squeak-they got
barely so per cent of the total vote.
Perhaps a comforting way for Re-
publicans to look at it is by comparison
with the 1915 election. In the 1916
September election for Governor in
Maine the Republicans got 81 per cent
of the total. Two months later. in No.
vember, the Republicans lost the pres
idential election in the Nation, but
lost 1t only by an extremely narrow
margin. 1t was commonly said. and
this was accurate enough, that the Re-
publicans lost the presidential election

lar, here is the vote on Monday for
United States Senator and the same
vote two years ago for United States
Senator.
This year. Two years ago.
CD Brann 1923 CD Dubord $3.50
(R) White 1886 (R) Hale 2.163
1t will be noted that Brann's
majority is 7,187 as against Dubord's
majority of 1867. Yet there is no
doubt that Senator Hale is not as
strong a vote getter in Lewiston as
Senator White. whose home town is
in that city. Why was the Democratic
majority there just the same as two
years ago, with stronger Republican
candidate In the field?
Strange Coincidence.
In the other cities of the State,
White got higher percentage of
the vote, even though his opponent
beat him in those cities. It does seem
a strange coincidence that the returns
from Lewiston. which happened to
show the lowest ratio for White,
happened also, to have been held up
till the early hours of the morning.
even after the entire State had been
tabulated. In Portland, whose total
votes were more than Lewiston,s,
the returns we're sent in with fairly
constant counting throughout the
night.
There ought to be recount or an
inquiry to determine why the Lewis
ton results we're held up till the last
minute. Even if the results do not in
crease the majority for Senator White,
and they certainly do not seem likely
to change the outcome otherwise, the
findings would make a good argument
for the installation of voting machines
hereafter.
One thing is clear from all this:
Names system of hand ballots ought
to be revised. Permission is given
by State authority to assistants" to
enter the voting booths to help the
voters split their tickets.
Voting machines would do away
with the dangers in the hand-ballot
system. Maine and other States ought
to have voting machines, If for no
other reason than to prevent . little

from holding back election returns and
making it possible to manipulate the

OF 1916 through the loss of one State,
California. This present year the Re-
publicans got Sc per cent of the Maine
vote for Governor. That is materially
more than they got in 1915. They
might reasonably infer that the rise
from 81 per cent in 1915 to 56 per cent
this year would carry the Republicans
comfortably over the line of success
In November. But this hope would be
reduced If the vote for Senator be TAX
en- into account.
Both Candidates Cheerful.
Possibly we might 60 back to the old
way and interpret the Maine outcome
In terms Of the degree of cheerfulness
conferred on party leaders. Gov.
Landon sends strongly cheerful teie-
gram Of congratulations to Maine and
reflects cheerfulness in his public ap-
pearances. When Gov. Landon ap-
pears cheerful. he is cheerful; he has
not the subtlety that would enable
him to simulate. But President Roose-
welt is cheerful, too, SO cheerful that
he suggests he may not make a cam
paign tour in October. True, Mr..
Roosevelt is a subtle person and also
habitually optimistic. But I suspect
Mr.. Roosevelt's cheerfulness about the
November election is genuine. Whether
it Is justified, only November will tell.
One phenomenon Is abundantly
clear. Maine shows. and every other
indication shows, that a very strong
tide is running away from the Demo-
Gratis in favor Of the Republicans.
The question is whether this tide can
in some six weeks go fast enough
and far enough to elect q Republican
President in November.
G. o. p. Peak In 1928.
We can summarize very briefly what
has happened during the past eight
years. In 1928 there was q Repub-
lican high tide. In that year the
electoral majority for Hoover was the
highest either party had ever had in
q two-party election, and the Repub-
licans elected q large majority OF
Congress. That was the peak Of the
Republican tide. Immediately it be-
gan to run in favor of the Democrats.
BY two years. by 1880, the Democrats
elected a majority in the House of
Representatives. In 1882 the Demo-
cratic tide elected Mr.. Roosevelt by an
enormous electoral majority. For two
years more the Democratic tide went
higher. In 1884 the Democrats in
creased their majority in the House.
November, 1884, was an all-time DEM
ocratic high.
Almost at once the tide began to
run away from them. 1t first ex-
pressed itself in a by-election for a
congressional seat in Rhode Island.
There in August last year the Repub-
licans reversed 10000 Democratic
majority into $4,000 Republican one.
The change was recognized as spec
tacular. The new Republican tide
showed itself further in some local
elections in November, 1885. 1t now
shows itself very strongly indeed in
the Maine election, where the Repub-
licans win back the governorship. hold
the senatorship and win back two
congressional seats. making the whole
Maine delegation in Congress Repub-
lican. Compared with 1884. this
weeks Republican victory in Maine is
overwhelming.
Yet the query remains. In the
Nation there was an all-time Demo-
cratic high tide in November. 1884.
Can the contrary tide get enough mo-
mentum in two years to elect Repub-
hcan President this November?

TN THE old and comfortable days
before statistics and graphs and
charts had been elevated as gods
i of the machine and reduced hu-
man beings to statistical digits-in
that more easy-going time the rule
about the Maine election used to be
expressed as a rule of thumb. If in
the September election Maine went Re-
publican in a way that made Repub-
licans cheerful, thereupon the Repub-
licans became cheerful about the ap-
preaching presidential election in the
Nation. 1t was never case OF "as goes
Main so goes the Nation"-that was
never true. Maine in September must
do more than merely 60 Republican.
It must 60 Republican by . stable
majority. The question then Is, what
is a stable majority? How much is
much.
