JUDGE TAFT MAY RULE
Likely FIRST Civil Governor of
Philippines.
MADE PRESIDENT OF COMMISSION.
Impression That lie VIII BE Head of the

ship to Take schurman's Place.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE appoint
ment, by the president, of Judge VIII
lam H. Taft, of Cincinnati, United
States judge OF the Sixth judicial ar
cunt, TO be president of the new Philip
pine commission, marks the first selec-
ton for the new Philippine commission.
There will be five members on the com
mission and all of them will be civilians
Mr.. Schurman. president of the exist
ing commission, declined, for business
reasons, to remain on the con- mission,
SO Judge Taft Will be preslden. in his
place. Mr. DENLY and Prof. Worcester
have been invited to accept reapDoint-
ments, but so far have not signfied
their intentions. Admiral Dewey will
not go back to Manila and General Otis
will give way, like him, to a civilian.
Secretary Rect said that no instructions
had been framed for the new commits.
sion as yet, but it would be easy to per-
ceiye, from the sentiments set out in the
presidents message on the subject, what
these instructions would be.
Judge Taft called at the war depart.
ment in company with Judge Day, late
secretary of state, and had long talk
with Secretary Root as to the plans for
the commission. AS some surprise has
been eeused by the willingness of Judge
Taft to surrender a life position of the
dignity and emolument OF United States
circuit judge to join the commission it
may be said that the prevalent impress
sion is that as soon as the commission
shall have succeeded III replacing the
existing military government in the
Philippines with stable civil govern
ments, Judge Taft will be named as
first civil governor general of the archi.
pelago It Is not thought that this
change will take place at once, but the
commission is expected t. move steadily
toward that objective and TO set up
local civil governments as fast as the
Filipinos shall demonstrate their WORTH
ness.
Judge Taft's place OH the bench will
be filled by the appointment of Judge

Proper Location of Cropa

There are few farms that do not
have a variety OF soils. Especially Is
this true on hilly land and even on
some rolling land. There Is the sandy
loan and tho clay loan and some soils
that cannot be called loamy In any
sense Where varieties OF soils exist
the crops should be placed on them ae-
cordins TO the nature OF the crops To
be grown. One would not suppose this
advice necessary. but II IL. The writer
has seen sugar hcciS grown on the
sandy loan OF farm one year and
give immense results. and he has seen
the same crop put on heavy. lumpy
clay the next year and give ALMOST no
results.
This practice no; only destroys the
usefulness OF the crop that Is placed
on ground unHultcd for II, but u dis
places some other crop ;ha; would
thrive on that same ground. The cab
bagc crop IL one that will do well on
these heavy clay soils. and the par
snip crop. as every farmer knows. de-
mands clay to do It's best. The trouble
Is that with the paTEaIp crop the de-
mand Is small and no large area can
prontlbiy be devoted to growing the
roo. There are. however. many kinds
OF farm produce that ,!li do well on
such land.
A little study OF the adap;ab!lity o!
soils will do much to remedy the evil
when farmer must raise every kind
Of produce on one kind OF soil he viii
do we'll to eliminate few crops ;ha;
are especially adapted TO soil other
than that he has.
