IMPORTANCE on ROTATION.

The Minnesota and the North Dako-
h experiment stations have expert
mented extensively with different ro-
tations and very interesting conclu-
sions are given as follows:
Wheat grown continuously for four
years removed annually rs pounds OF
nitrogen per acre, while 146 pounds
more were lost. This nitrogen was
lost by the oxidation of the humus, by
identification chemically, by wind
storms, and through the loss OF nj
trates by drainage. AS a crop OF
spring wheat occupies the ground dur
ing a short period of the year, it may
be seen that during the greater part
Of the year the other factors are at
work in eliminating this element. In
a rotation of wheat, clover, wheat and
oats, an average of 178 pounds of nj
trogen per acre was removed annual
ly, yet there was gain for four years
over and above this amount of 245
pounds of nitrogen.
This nitrogen, it Is believed, has
been gained largely by the clover from
the free nitrogen of the air. In this
rotation not only was the nitrogen
and humus content of the soil increas-
ed, but larger crops were grown.
"The North Dakota station has ta-
ken up the study of suitable rotation
or the wheat farms. Experiments
carried on for six years show that con-
tinuous wheat culture is Improbable,
while wheat in rotation increases in
yield and improves in quality. Three
crops of wheat and one of clover gave
in four yeras almost as much wheat
and more profitable returns than four
crops of wheat in succession. Little
was gained in rotating wheat with
other cereals, as spring rye, barley
and oats, but wheat after cultivated
crop gave a larger percentage OF IN
crese than wheat after summer, fall
lowing millet, timothy and clover, flax,
field peas or peas and millet. The IN
crease in the wreat crop over wheat
after wheat was as follows:
After cultivated chops, rs per cent;
after fallow, SO per cent; after millet,
per cent; and after timothy and
clover, SO per cent. When cultivated
crop, will only pay for the labor OF
its production it is better than sum-
mer following, as the succeeding
wheat crop will show.
"a rotation for dairy farms recon-
mended by the New Jersey station con
sists of ~ field corn, seeded to Grim
son clover in July or August; 81,
crimson clover followed by fodder
corn, land seeded to winter rye; 90.
rye fodder, followed by oats and peas,
seeded to red clover and timothy; and
q hay.
:.Some of the reasons for crop rota-
ton are: All plans do not draw to an
equal extent upon the manurial ingre-
dients of the soil. They send their
roots to different depths and have a
diff srent solvent action upon the con-
stituents they reach. By rotating crops
insect enemies are more apt to be
dispersed Fungus diseases may also
be materially reduced. The soil is
maintained in good filth, and bacteria
which are beneficial to the plants are
more likely to be increased. Weeds
are more readily eliminated, the humus
compounds of the soil increased, and
the work of the farm more easily dis
tributed. "-United States Department

STANDING OFF WALL STREET.

The stand of the administration
against the demand Of Wall street
spectators for the deposit Of twenty
i've millions or more in national banks
for the purpose OF relieving an un-
natural money stringency Is one that
will be commended by all except the
stock gamblers who hoped to profit by
the plan. For some time money has
been scarce for speculative purposes
and a high premium has obtained
on "call' money. Strong pressure has
been put upon the president and Sec
Rotary Shaw to force government de-
posts into channels where the spec
ulators could got at them. The Sec

PUBLICITY THE PUBLIC DUE.

Dispatches from Glenwood report an
epidemic Of typhoid fever in the school
for the feeble minded located there.
Details are not forthcoming except
that one death occurred some days ago
and that the physician at the institu-
ton charges the epidemic to infection
from contaminated water supply.
This physician is quoted in the dis
patches as refusing to state the num-
Der Of cases Of fever at the institution
and as explaining the secrecy with
which the situation has been held from
the press and public by his fear Of
Exaggerated reports" What condi-
tons really are at this state institution
where dangerous epidemic is said
TO prevail, the public is left to guess at
It will seem to most of us that the
official physician assumes too much
when he refuses, information which
properly belongs to the public. There
should be no secrecy about the con-
duct Of state institutions. Indeed ex-
perience proves that publicity makes
for improved conditions. II there is
an epidemic Of infectious disease at the
Glenwood institution the people want
to know and have the right to know
all about 1t.
II the physician at the Glenwood
school had deliberately attempted 20
shake public confidence in his fitness
he could have found no better way to
go about it. He may be entirely COM
petent and have done everything pos
stble to preserve the health Of his
helpless charges. However, the gener-
al public is invariably suspicious Of the
public servant who has something to
conceal on important public matters. A
full statement tlf the conditions at
Glenwood would have eased the minds
OF all interested and could scarcely
have affected the progress or abate-
ment Of the disease. AS matters stand,
however, the inauiring public will be
anxious to know whether the authori-
ties at the Glerlwood institution have
been careless or only assumed an at
etitude Incompatible with their positions
as public servants.

Editor Times Republican,: / notice

caption "Offer Compromise and
which item among other things says:
washington, Nov. 17.--As the time
for the meeting of congress approaches
it becomes more and more evident that
railway men are preparing to COM

The wiser presidents of great rail-
road corporations have been forced to

desire to do right, an honest intention
of doing railroad business equitably
and fair as other business Is honestly
pursued will be hurt. But let us see
what further this item from Wash
ington contains. It says:
THE railroad proposition is that a
railroad rate commission shall be
created. composed of about nine mem
bers, who shall each be given a salary
of $1,000 month, and who shall be
professional railroad experts or law
yers. In this way 1t is hoped to i'm
prove the personel of the commission
to such an extent that its decisions can
safely be followed by the railroads
themselves"
To all of this I make no objection.

the responsibility assumed, perhaps
the number OF the commission could
be reduced. think 1t could. But let
that go and call it all right. What
further does it state.
In addition to this the railroads
compromise embodies proposition
that any decision OF the commission
shall be subject to a writ OF injunction
issued by any competent court of fed
eral jurisdiction.
This latter item totally destroys the
good faith of the compromise proposed.
Such compromise would leave the
rate situation in even a worse position
n possible than at the present. Years
would pass before an enjoined rate
could be finally disposed Of No bet
ter proof of this could be offered than
