the ground is kept too wet and cold

Just enough straw should be used to

One rain after the straw Is applied is
sufficient to secure a good crop. Be

light soil If possible. A wet heavy
soil Is not desirable.

CANAL TREATY RATIFIED.

u Y ONE OF THE MOST DECISIVE VOTES ever
n recorded on question Of great public import,
= the isthlnian canal treaty, commonly known as
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, has bee1 ralhed by the
senate While there viii be differences Of OPINION on
this treaty as there differences on all vital ques-
tons in which the nation Is concerned the treaty must
strike most Americans being at least fairly satlsac-
tory.
The agreement is not as specific in some points as
It might be- perhaps as IL should have been. There Is
no definite clause which viii permit the United States
to fortify the canal but nothing in the treaty can be
construed as prohibiting IT, If want to fortlfy It we
do without injecting a Earring note IN the con
cert Of the powers Another feature OF the treaty Whlch
may or may not be carried out the letter IS that
which guarantees an open canal IN times Of peace OF
war
Il is maaifesty unreasonable TO expect the United
States to build the canal and then keep open for the
warships of enemy, In order that they might more
easily lay waste unprotected western coast
line. IN the event of hostlties with England or Ger
many the great naval powers of the world this clause
would doubtless be susceptible of more elastic con-
struction than the text implies.
Besides, it would be decidedly foolhardy expert
ment for an enemy to attempt to run his ships under
American guns no matter what the treaty signed be-
fore the opening of the combat contained. An admiral
who attempted such proceeding would undoubtedly be
blown out of the water Other objections to the
vention have been merely technical and proposed
for the purpose of Obstructng the work Of building
the canal.
That the waterway Is necessity to the rapidly
growing commerce of the United States there IS no
room for serious doubt. That the canal business
proposition viii be paying investment, only be
couiectured. The best business believe it will pay
big interest on the money expended The Suez canal
under the control of the British government Is paying
for itself and there Is no reason why the ihmian canal
shouldn't make as good a showing.
The section of the treaty which guarantees that
discrimination shall be praceed against the vessels
of any nation is sound business The canal should
be as open as the oceans to all countries and all ships
that can pay the tolls unless already suggested the
ships seeking passage belong to enemys nation.
The neutrality idea IS intended to permit unimpeded
commerce only so a to protect friendly lands.
The convention may undoubtedly have It's bad
points, but it Is IL the main, good enough. The canal
is going be constructed it Is going to be poced by
the United States and governed by the United States
1t Is estimated that eight years will be required to
complete the work. six years III construction and two
years in preparation for the construction It Is reason
able then hope that by the close of the first decade
of the twentieth century ships viii be traversing this
great waterway.
