to be trying to have it crawl in its

Plant Wheat Thicker.
When the seeding of winter wheat is
much delayed beyond the normal time
for seeding this crop, it is desirable to
plant at somewhat thicker rate, ac
cording to the Department of Experi
mental Agronomy, University Farm.
This will make up for the reduced
stooling common with late planted
wheat. Late planted wheat is also
more subject to winterkilling, and
thicker planting overcomes this to
some extent.
Slander.
Walt Mason: A little slice of slan
der will do no end of harm. You say
that Alexander has got a wooden arm.
The chap who hears you tell it, will
note the story down, and then he’ll go
and yell it, with frills, throughout the
town. He’ll peddle her and yander,
all up and down the line, the tale that
Alexander has got a wooden spine,
Then Johnsing will meander, and tell
his neighbor, Gregg, that poor old
Alexander has got a wooden leg. And
Lyman tells Leander—this way such
stories spread—that luckless Alexan
der has got a woden head. Then Alex
ander hears it; a tear streams from
his eye; he brands it and he sears it
as a confounded lie. He says, “It is
no puddin’ to wear a scandal wreath;
I’ve nothing that is wooden about me
but my teeth. And now I'll take my
claymore and spoil the liars’ plans; I’ll
cripple up or slay more than forty
scandals fans.” The town is full ot
scrapping because that story spread;
we hear the wounded yapping, wc
count the mangled dead. The morgue
is full of courses, the jail is full ot
jakes; oh reader, hold your horses,
and pass along no fakes.

“The Bam Will
Help Build the House |
but the house will never help build the barn,” is
a common saying amongst farmers. It’s good
business when making the first permanent improvements on
the farm, to put up first the buildings that help most to “
: make money.
Every dollar put into a good modern barn is returned
many-fold to the farmer. Cow comfort and horse comfort
mean man profit. Live stock kept well and vigorous pays
: handsome dividends.
There is no need to argue the case for the mod
j cm barn. Most farmers admit the necessity of it.
Anything that we can do to help you obtain the
i right sort of barn for your
= farm, we will gladly do. Let
! us get together on it.

Democratic Blunders.
Washington. D. C., Oct. 19.—Again
the word failure has been written in
bold type across the text of a Demo
cratic law.
No less person than Secretary of
Commerce Redfield has admitted the
necessity for legislation to provide
that “unfair competition from abroad"
at the close of the war “shall not be
permitted to injure American industry.”
The Secretary has announced that in
his next annual report to Congress he
will recommend the enactment of laws
to prevent the “dumping” of foreign
products into the American market.
Considered in connection with Secre
tary Redfleld’s statement, the action of
the Democratic Congress in eliminat
ing the “anti-dumping” clause from
the Underwood tariff law assumes the
proportions of a collossal blunder.
That the enactment of the Under
wood bill would render imperative at
least a small measure of protection to
American industries was conceded by
the Ways and Means Committee when
it reported the tariff bill. To provide
it the Committee Recommended an
“anti-dumping” clause, declaring in its
report that it was to “guard the pro
cedures of the United States against
the demoralization of American mar
kets caused by low priced foreign im
portations.”
The clause provided in substance
that upon exported foreign articles not
on the free list also manufactured in
the United States, a special duty of
not to exceed fifteen per cent should
be levied whenever the foreign price
was less than the fair market value at
home.
The House passed this provision.
The Republicans unsuccessfully tried
to amend it and then to a man voted
for it. The Senate Finance Com
mittee struck it from the bill, and in
spite of united Republican efforts to
amend and restore it, the tariff bill
passed the Senate withont the anti
dumping clause, eventually becoming a
law in that form.
The anti-dumping clause thus
thrown into the discard by the Demo
crats was very evidently a necessity,
the demand for which was acutely
emphasized by the passage of the law
from which it was finally eliminated.
In recommending anti-dumping
legislation now, Secreatry Redfield has
not merely turned the limelight upon a
legislative blunder of his party. He
has justified the position of the Re
publicans and virtually championed
their cause.
