Kenoyating Poor Land.

It's slow, difficult, and expensive
work to bring up worn out land,

been done. but not all at once We
have known men OF means put on
twice the value of the land with the
expectation Of getting a large yield
the first year, but they did not sue

The best that can lie done is to
begin the fall beforehand, use all the
available manure possible. or seh1e
fertilizer If it can he obtained, and
SOW some crop that grows quick, as
rye or Italian rye grass, either OF

Much nitrogen and carbOnic acid,
some potash and soda have been

crops. Turned under in bloom, the

Agricultural Legislation.

Garfield once said THE interests of aeri-
culture deserve more attention from the
Government than they have yet received.
The farms of the United States afford homes
and employment for more than one-half the
people, and furnish much the largest part OF
all our exports. As the Government lights
our coasts for the protection of mariners,
and for the benefit of commerce, SO it shoul
give to the .illers of the soil the lights OF
practical science and experience"
The legislature has a good proportion o.
farmers in its make up. 1t has also pro-
fessional men, merchants and mechanics,
who are found sometimes more friendly to
the cause of progressive farming than even
farmers themselves. On improved farming
rests the progress of all other branches. On
the wise legislation of the State depends the
welfare of our organized agriculture and its
institutions. Money literally provided and
well expended by those institutions helps
Maine to take her place in the front rank of
farming and of importance in the eastern
seaboard States.
The farmers came before the present legis-
lature asking for aid to the State College ;
for the establishing of a Fertilizer Control
and Agricultural Experiment Station. They
ask also for law that tends to suppress the
dog nuisance and aid the sheep interest.
They ask some changes in the
law relating to the election of
members of the Board of Agriculture and to
the size and binding of the report of the sec
retary of the board All these requests seem
good and wise and will be found, we think,
to work for the best interests of progressive
practical agriculture.
The fertilizer control station bill has been
attacked by certain newspaper correspondents
while it is as yet in embryo, before it has
been reported, and as unjustly as hastily.
The claim is against the $50 license fee that
it will in the end add to the cost of cOrn-fer-
tiizers bought by the farmer. That this has
no foundation we show by stating facts from
other States. Each New England State, ex-
cept Rhode Island, has a control station.
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio
and nearly every Southern and Western
State has them, and the same brand of make
of commercial fertilizer is sold for just the
Slime as in Maine. In other words the Maine
farmer pays just as much for his fertilizer as
his brother farmer of other states, and has no
guarantee against fraud. Is not protection
worth having when it is to cost nothing? The
experiment feature of the bill, if experiment
and investigation are worth anything, is going
to be worth all the station costs annually.
The farmer is thus going to get his protection
for simply the having, and Maine now pre-
sents inviting dumping ground for those fer
tilizers, feeds and seeds not safe for sale in
States having the protection of stations.
