LAND RESERVATIONS
The President Chooses the Govern
ment Lands In Porto Rico.
CONFERENCE on HOOKS SUCCESSOR


Oyster Bay, N. Y, July AFTER .
conference with Gov. Hunt the presi-
dent signed formal order making
reservations Of lands in the island OF
Porto Rico for the purpose OF this
government. The action was taken
under the provisions of law passed
at the first session Of the Fifty-sev-
enth congress, which authorized the
president to make the reservations
before July 1, 1908. All lands not re-
served will accrue to the island OF
Porto Rico. In the aggregate more
than 10000 acres of land were In
volved. Under the old Spanish
regime the title to these lands be-
came so greatly involved that 1t could
not be determined from any available
records to whom they belonged.
They could not be sold, because the
government of Porto Rico could not
give clear title to them. The
enabling act passed by congress
cleared the situation. About 10000
acres of land will accrue Immediately
to the island government. 1t is ex-
pected that from the sale Of lands
the island will receive about 100000.
This sum will be devoted largely to
educational purposes.
Senator Long came to Oyster Bay
to talk to the president about the
successor to United States District
Judge William C. Hook, of Kansas,
who has been selected to succeed
Judge H. C. Caldwell, of the Eighth
judicial circuit. Judge Hooks sue
cessor has not been chosen, but he
will be Kansas lawyer agreed upon
by the members Of the congressional
delegation from that state.

AnpIving Farmyard Manure.

By an experiment conducted at the
Ottawa experiment farm, which lasted
over a period of years and which is re-
ported in the Farmers Review, 1t was
proven that an equal weight ofLfresh
stable manure and of well-rotted nannre
applied to all the principal crops of the
farm gave practically equal results, a
slight difference being in favor of the
fresh manure, says James McFadyean.
1t is a great mistake to believe that ma
nure wastes to any extent when spread
upon the land. Unless there In con-
siderable fermentation, there will be
very little of the valuable elements
escape by evaporation. / do not recon-
mend too heavy an application at one
time. We seek to have 1t divided so
that it will cover all the land every Sec
ond year, if possible. If the manure Is
reasonably short 80 that We may have 1t
Incorporated into the surface soil with
the disc or spade harrow, cultivaror or
gang plow in the spring, and to about
the saEae depth as We wish to SOW our
grain, its indirect value to the growing
crop is greatest. Farmyard manure is
the most natural and perfect plant food
available, and it has indirect results that
no commercial fertilizer can give, be-
cause it adds to the soil 80 much vegeta-
ble matter, 30 much humus, by which
ali clay and sandy soils especially are
greatly benefited, though not just yet
available as plant food. But whenever
there is decaying Of vegetable matter
there is always q certain degree OF heat
formed. We see this very plainly In the
manure heap. Then let US have this heat
formed in the soil, that the growing
plants may derive some benefit from it,
and the soil will be made more mellow,
crnmbly and porous because Of the heal
and moisture.

Potash for the Orchard.

The effects of potash in apple Or
chards have been studied by Prof. Num-
son of the Maine experiment station, ana
the results are set forth in recent bull
letin. In large orchard in which the
experiment was carried on, tnose tlSss
which received potash were practically
the only ones in the orchard which pro-
duced crop of fruit last year; Con,
siderably better results were obtained
from muriate of potash than from either
sulphate or kainit, but part OF this may
have been due to the characters OF ene
soil. so far as the result Of potash salts
on the apple scab was concerned N S's
found that an excess OF potash nae no
effect in checking the scab. One OF the
most CON genient and available sources
of potash for farmers is unbleached hard
wood ashes. Literally applied to the
orchard, their effect is valuable and
lasting.
