Secretary Root Refers to Statements
From Cuban Convention.


From Cuban Convention.
Washington, June 6.--In view Of the
several representations made in Ha-
vana regarding the Interpretation by
the secretary of war to the Cuban
commissioners of the Plat amend
.ments, it can be stated authoritatively
that. the secretary did not deviate from
the declaration that the president and
himself had no power to change an
act of congress. It is said here that
the amendments which the Cuban con-
vention made TO the PIatt law and the
incorporation of conversations with
Secretary Root did not represent his
views Of the amendment, nor was he
correctly quoted in the alleged state
ments.
Among the reports given out in Ha-
vana is the translation OF a letter of
Senator Platt,, written to the secretary
Of war and furnished as confidential
document to the Cuban commissioners
when they were here. This letter brief-
" gives the views of the Connecticut
senator. on some features of the law
which bears his name Surprise was

To those who have not yet plowed
their land, we would say lose no time
in getting ito work, and do the work
thoroughly. Plow little deeper than
before, but not so much deeper as to
turn up on to the surface a lot of the
hard unaerated subsoil. 1t is too late
to bring this on to the surface. It's
presence there will not help the in
crease of the crop this year, but rath-
er hinder it. A little may be added to
the soil and be well mixed in by Gull
tivation with advantage. One of the
chief objects Of plowing ought to be not
merely the inversion of the SOIL but
the pulveriaZtion of it. Flowing is
poor that fails to do the great part of
the rough pulverizing and does not
leave the surface in the best possible
condition for the effective use of the
implements which are to follow. An
other reason why no time should be
lost in getting the land plowed is, that
it may have time to absorb the rain
fall Of the spring. In our last issue
we showed how great the demand of
crops was for moisture during the
growing season, and to that article we
invite the attention of our readers.
Again, time lost in getting the land
plowed at this season of the year is
time that can rarely be recovered. The
combined drying power of the wind
and sun is great in the spring, and
land soon becomes too hard to break
with any prospect of it's afterwards be-
ing worked into a fine seed bed, and
thus the area of the crop has, perforce,
to be curtailed, if land is not plowed
in the fall winter or early spring
Whilst, however, we are thus urgent
in insisting upon the Importance of
early plowing, we would at the same
time warn against plowing wet land.
Land plowed when too wet can never
be made into a satisfactory seed bed,
whilst the injury done by the team in
tramping the bottom of the wet fur
rows is one which will not only be very
telling upon the Immediately succeed
ing crop, but on those for years to
come, unless remedied by subsoiling the
land.
Oats. for grain and forage or hay
crop, should be seeded during this
month. The land for the crop should
be well plowed and finely worked. Be-
cause oats will make a crop on land
comparatively poor in fertility, and only
plowed and narrowed once, is no reason
why better treatment should not be ac-
corded. We know of no crop that re-
sponds better to generous treatment in
the way of preparation of the soil and
the application of manure. The diff
ference in treatment means the differ
ence between making twenty-five bush
els and seventy-five bushels to the acre.
If you have farm yard manure to spare,
apply it literally to the land either as
top dressing after the crop is seeded
or worked in. t. rot, give 800 pounds

In the cotton sections the land for
the crop should be plowed and got
into fine condition for planting as soon
as the weather will permit of this be-
ing done, Unless tn laend is naturally
wet and in need of drainage do not bed
it UP, but plant the crop ON the level
and keep level during cultivation. Let
the fertilizer used if not applied broad
cast, which should always be done
where the application exceeds 500
pounds to the acre be applied in the
furrow opened for the seed and be well
mixed with the soil by running cul-
tivator in the furrow, and be then Gov
cred to await the time to sow the seed.
Better results will always be obtained
by applying the fertilizer at least a
few weeks ahead of seeding. Just pre-
vious to sowing the seed the seed-bed
should be freshened up by running a
cultivator or coulter in it. Very heavy
applications Of fertilizer are not to be
advised for the cotton crop, as the point
is quickly reached beyond which the
grain in crop is not sufficient to meet
the additional cost of the fertilizer. In
order to reach high state of produc-
tiveness the land should be gradually
brought up by rotations of leguminous
and humus producing crops and then
fertilizer may be used heavily with
profit The maximum quantity of fer
tilizer that can generally, be used to
advantage on average cotton land has
been concluded to be an amount that
will furnish so pounds of phosphoric
acid, Is pounds of potash, and 20 pounds
of nitrogen to the acre. A fertilizer
made up of / 1000 pounds of acid phos-
phate, 500 pounds of cotton seed meal,
and 200 pounds of xainit will supply
this need, applied at the rate of 500
pounds to the acre. If the land has
been improved by growing peas, to
which phosphate and potash have been
applied, a less application per acre will
be sufficient.
