serrnnnN nErnEsENTATIoN.
some Arguments onered Against Mk
 Keafer's Pending Bili.


 Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 The bill introduced in Congress oy Repreeeutative Keller of Ohio, provfd- ing for the reduction of the represent atjou in Congress of those Soutnerh Sta stes which have disfrancnlseo he- groes, probably owes Its origin 70 areonest'' from some of Mir. Keifer's : constitueats. Similar bills introduced at former sessions have gone only to the pigeonholes of committees.
 The Keller bill provides that Ala hama. Arkansas. Florida, Georgia, Lou islana, Mississippi. North Carolina. South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas ana Virginia shall be deprived In the ag- gregate of thirty-seven members or the House of Representatives. The sem ing authority for his reduction of rep resentation is to be found in the Four teenth Amendment to the Constitu- tion.
 .sWhen the right to vote is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being 21 years of age and citi- gems of the United States, or In any way Abridged, except for participation in rebellion or other crimes. the basis of representation therein shall be re- duced in the proportion which the num- Der of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens 2l years of age in such State" , This is clear, emphatic, unmistakable. It is no answer to say that Massachu- setts and several otiser States with property educationaI or other quail fications attached as conditions precs- dent to the exerciss of the franchise are equally liable to the enforcement of the constitutional provision. Those States might also be disciplined.
 There is, however, a later provision in the Constitution in the Fifteenth Amendment:
 ''The right. of citizsns of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race. color, or pre- vfous condition of soFvttudes itt
 'The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate leg isiation -
 Dces the Fifteenth Amendment take the place of the Fourteenth Amendment and nullify it's representation provise ions? It seems so. The earlier amend msnt says that if States deprive their citizens Of the right to vote they may be punished by losing members of the Ho Ise. The later amendment declares that States shall not deny or abridRe the vote. There are no conditions and no punishments provided except that Congress shall have power to enforce the amendment.
 How Is this to be done7 Apparently in one way only, and that is by send ing troops Into the Southern States to take charge of the State governments by force of arms. Does anybody think that Mir. Keifer's bill is feasible legis- lation?

Fertilizer Formaias, 4 Correction.

I take the first opportunity to corr rect errors that crept Into the last is- sue in the figures for compounding fertilizers. To make the formulas be- low. in which the second figure repre- sents the percentage of ammonia, and not of nitrogen. the following constit- uents may be used. the filler beinE in- serted only to complete the ton and to make the percentages of plant food as stated. The addition of the filler neither adds to the value of the fArtili- ger. nor aItors the proportions of the phosphoric acid to the other valuable plant foods. though the filler does eff feet the proportion of actual plant food to the total weight of the fertilizer
 To make the 8-2-2 formula use
 AT pounds cotton seed meal (T per cent nitreEen.3
 fo42 pounds acid phosphate .(14 per cent) 264 pounds kainit
 223 pounds filler.
 TO make the 10~2-2 formula in such way as to require no filler we may use;

of the stalk has no connection with the large yield of grain secured, yet certainly cannot advise fsrmsrs to practice the stunting process on any considerable area by withholding cul- tfvatIon until it reaches a height of twenty -four inches. However contrary the methods to the accepted procedure, we cannot reject the results attained by Mr. Williamson under this system on q small area on q variety of soils. Tn making such trial, it Is desir- able to follow MT. Williamson's details eyactiy, for we have abundant evidence that the detached parts of his system. used alone will not give the desired increase in yield.
 It should be added that this system involves very thorough preparation, laying by the crop early. and using a fertilizer consisting of 200 pounds of acid phosphate, 200 pounds of cotton seed meal 400 pounds of kainit and 125 pounds of nitrate of soda. all put Tn the siding furrows when the plants are several feet high.

Tall Meadow 0Rt Grass and Lespedexa.
 The question is asked whether tall meadow oat grass is adapted to river land In South Alabama; Also the best combination in which to grow Japan clover for hay on such land.
 Tall meadow oat grass has not. I think, been tested in the South eastern uart of the State. While 1t has done well at Auburn for one year on rich low spot. should not be willing to risk # on a large area. Japan clover will produce a crop of hay only on good land that Is quite moist. or on good land in seasons of abundant rainfall The best combination in which Japan clover figures consists of this plant and the spontaneous crab grass that comes up among it, Japan clover can be sowp throughout March and tall meadow oat grass could be sown up to the middle Of March, but spring seed- ing of this grass is faf less promis- ing than fall seeding.

Raw Phesphate vs. Acid Phosphate.

A correspondent in Baldwin County asks my opinion of raw phosphate. which he has already bought, and gives the proportions in which the rnanufact- nrers recommended that it be used for inc spring crop of Irish potatoes.
 Your lettsr of February 26 is at hand. My experience with raw phosphate has been chiefly when used as fertilizer for cottau and cowpeaS. With these plants. have found lt far inferior to acid phosphate. and 1t Is probable that this inferiority would be still more marked in the case of plants which must make rapid development, such as Irish potatoes. On the other hand, on soils rich in vegetable matter, as doubt less your newly cleared lands are the rotting of the vegetable matter should in time greatly increase tho solubiilty of the raw phosphate. As you now have the raw phosphate, you will doubtless have to use 1t, and can sug- &est no better proposition than those you mention; namely, 1400 pounds of raw phosphate, 500 pounds of cotton seed meal and 100 pounds of muriate or sulphate of potash per acre. It would be we'll for you to compare this with another formula containing the same amounts of cottonseed meal and pot ash, but in which 1000 pounds of acid phosphate are substituted for 14O0 pounds of raw phosphate, the cost of the two formulas being about the same.
 For field corn, I cannot recommend as a very safe investment more than 900 to 400 pounds of commercial fer tilixer per acre. This should consist of at least half cottonseed meal or tank age, the remainder being acid phos- phate.
 We have no bulletins on sugar cane culture, but several on the manufact- ure of syrup. For bulletins containing analyses of fertilizers address the Commissioner of Agriculture, Mont gomsFy Ala. J. F. D.
