1.-THE attempt to impose PURITAN

in forbiding cock fights, is not
apt to increase the affection of the
islanders for their new government.
For centuries they have been ac

might be educated up 10 the stand

of amusement seem wrong, but
without doubt it will require con

such a change of heart. Meanwhile
to be denied their favOrlte form of

TEST OF ILLINOIS SOIL
is TO BE CONDUCTED.

The committee appointed by tn {
illinois farmers institute to cooperate
with the government eli ,ials in the
soil Investigations and experiments in
illinois gave detailed report of their
operations at the meeting of the in
stitute directors in Springfield Oot. 2.
The report was q long one and took
the matter under thorough discus
sion.
Fifteen different places were chosen
IN the state to oniuct the expert
ments, located 50 as to cover all Sec
tions, and land was chosen which
was typical of large areas. A careful
analysis was made of the different
soils to determine the total quantities
of various elements of plant life that
existed in them, both in that that
had been under cultivation for some
time and that which had grown few
or no crops. The reason for the lat
ter is to find out the difference that
long cultivation has on the different
elements contained in the soil.
The experimental field is usually
divided il to two parts. On one all
the different kinds of fertilizers are
used and the same crop will be grown
here year after year. This is done to
see what effect artificial fertiliz ere
have on the conditions of the crops
and which will produce the best re-
suits.
On the other part of the field no fer
tilizer is used, but the grains will be
rotated year after year and the result
of this in regard to enriching or i'm
power ishing the soil will be watched
closely. BY having the two fields
side by side it will be easy to ascer-
tain which is better for the soil, the
application or artificial fertilizers
or the enrit hing of the soil by chang
ing the crops every year. Legumin-
GUS crops will also be raised on part
If the land to see to what extent they
will accumulate nitrogen in the soil
and If they will have the same effect
as the application of the latter by ar
tificial means.
Another line of experiments that
will be followed out will be the col
Ia citing of soil from the different parts
of the state and pot experiments tried
in hot houses. This will be done more
particularly to ascertain il any injur
ious substances exist in the SOIL in
any part of the state and if so, what
are the best means of getting rid OF
them.
The experiments, aud especially
those in regard to crop rotation, will
necessarily require several years to
produce any reliable RESULTS, but those
where artifi i4l means are applied
should be able to convey some sccur
ate Information at the end OF the first
year,
The work that here has been out
lined in general way has yet scarce
ly begun, but the fields have been
located in parts of the state that rep
resent the greatest areas Of land and
the different parts of the state in
which they are situated are ss TO-
