acres in area, will be laid OUT III Two
parts. On one section test will be
made of the various green crops adapt
ed to fertilizing such land, together
with crude rock phosphate and potash
as fertilizers, to develop humus. By
these green crops, most of which are
legumes, nitrogen will be gathered from
the air, and in this way it is hoped to
develop in the soil an amount of or
ganic matter well supplied with nitro
gen, phosphoric acid, and potash, the
three most essential elements of plant
growth, in such form that they will
readily become available for other crops
to be grown on the land latter. The
organic matter is not only essential to
the maintenance of fertility, but it
greatly improves the water-holding cap
acity, which in this sandy soil is very
low. This portion of the field will form
basis for the study of the relation of
partially decomposing vegetable matter
and humus; respectively, to the fertility
of the soil. The exceptionally unfertile
soil under present conditions, will give
an unusually good opportunity to study
this problem.
PEAT AS A FERTILIZER.
''The other portion of the Sparta field
will be laid out in a rotation of crops
adapted to a sandy soil, and will be
treated with various artificial fertilizers
separately and in combination. A test
will also be made of the use of peat as
a nitrogen fertilizer. Several prelim-
mary experiments conducted last year
Indicate that peat pill be valuable fer
tilizer. In partially dried condition,
after standing two or three months in
piles, it contains nearly twice as much
nitrogen as good farm yard manure,
although it is deficient in phosphoric
acid and potash. These latter elements
will be added to the peat in the form of
artificial fertilizers. AS the peat depos-
its are available at short distance

Experimenting on Soils.

Experimenting on Soils.
The Agricultural department of the
state university sends out the following
letter on it's program for the future:
.'As part of the general University
of Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment
Station for the study of the various
| types of soils of the state, number of
experimental fields are being selected
on which to carry on the investigation
of methods of increasing the product
ivity of the soil. The extremely sandy
soil of the north-central part of the
state, and the peaty soils of the newly
organized drainage districts in the Wis
consin River Valley and in the north
ern part of the state, will be the first
to be studied. Plans have just been
completed for three of these expert
mental fields. One of these is near
Sparta in the extremely sandy soil dis
trict; second field is on the marsh
land near Mather, southwest of Grand
Rapids; and the third at Phillips in
Price county.
Professor A. r. Whitson Of the de-
partment of soils and drainage of the
University of Wisconsin college of
agriculture is in charge of the work.
It is believed that these experimental
fields will afford an opportunity of gath
ering great deal of practical know
ledge which will be of service in aiding
the farmer to improve the methods Of
management of his soils so that the fur
tility will be retained and the product
ivity Increased.
TO IMPROVE SANDY SOIL.
''The field selected at Sparta has been
cultivated for about forty years, and as
result It's fertility has been greatly
reduced. No fertilizer has been used
upon the field, and very little clover
has been grown. This field is probably
among the very poorest of the light
sandy soils found in the state. The yield
of rye for the past few years has been
only between six and eight bushels an
acre, and last year the entire crop of
hay grown on eight acres amounted
to only two loads. On account of the
extreme uniformity of it's soil and the
convenient location, the field is we'll
suited to the study of method r.
such soils.

The BRIDGE QUESTION.

HOW TO BuIId Appears TO Be the
Only Question.
The building of bridge across the
Flambeau is a recognized necessity.
The question now is whether the city
should ask the county to participate in
the cost.
If the city asks assistance we will
have to assist in the building of all the
bridges of the county. If not, we will
be free from such expense.
The matter has been referred to tie
city attorney for investigation.

HUBBARD's NOMINATION.

Hon. W. P. Hubbard, of Wheel
ing, will be nominated tomorrow in
Wheeling for congress. The
primary elections have all been held
and Mr.. Hubbard has 220 delegates
to Captain B. B. Doyener's SO.
Three counties voted Saturday.
Marion gave Hubbard about 1000
majority that day. Wetzel gave him
l53 majority and he carried Han
cock by $50. OF course, he got all
the delegates from these three
counties, the unit rule prevailing.
The contest has been void of per-
sonalities. with an exception or two,
where zeal fer one or the other cam
didate, caused rash expressions,
which would better not have been
made, and the fight, was a friendly
one.
Mr.. Hubbard's victory is a sig
nal one as Captain Doyener was
naturally to be expected to have an
organization of long standing, BY
virture Of his tenure Of office. He
had many friends in the contest, and
there is deep regret that he is to re-
tire after long years Of good service,
but such things must and do come
and has come with him as with
Others Of equal or greater useful
ness.
1t will not be said of Captain
Dovener that he did not vote with
his party on every public question,
nor is his party fealty to be. doubted
in the slightest. 1t may also be
truthfully said Of him that he serv-
ed his constituents faithfully and
well and did perhaps all that any
one could. But the people wanted
a change and have retired Captain
Dovener full of honorss
His successor viii be Mr.. Hub
bard as there is no possibility, as the
Democrats fully realize, to defeat
him. He is strong public man,
already widely known throughout
the country, recognized as the head
of the legal profession in his State.
and a gentleman Of patriotic activi-
t. that has caused measures to be
adopted for the good Of the people
as a whole. He Is such a man as
will quickly acquire prominence and
influence in the national assembly
and it i freely predicted that he
win have a career there that viii

trict Of West Virginia greater prom
incnce and distinction.

Elkins amendment gives force to
this opinion, and will free West
Virginia coal mining from the dom
nation of the Pennsylvania railroad.
His amendment compelling the in
stallation of necessary switches for
the shippers Of interstate commerce
is also of vast importance. 1t in
sures to every operator an outlet for
his coal. And if his amendment re-
quiring trunk lines to give fair con-
nections with lateral and branch
lines remains in the bill it will as
sure those who want to develop new
territory by building short lines
fair treatment without the expense
of costly litifation. One needs but
to recall the case Of the West Vir-
ginia Central and its long fight for
an outlet over the B. & o. to see
the importance of this provision.
The bin putting commercial travel
ers on the.list of preferred creditors
will go through as will the pfoyis-
ion for passes for railroad employees,
for which Senator EIkins has work
ed 50 hard. He has also had an in
terest in the passage of the bill to
incorporate the Lake Erie and Ohio
River Ship Canal, and in the pass
age of the employersAliability bill.
On the whole Senator Elkins has
made a record this session of which
any Senator would be proud.

railroad rate regulation is one of the
most notable victories achieved against
corporate power.
Governor Cummins and the Republicans
of Iowa who are with the president de-
serve great credit for their part in the
reform.
The allied corporation and democratic
forces engaged in fighting Governor Cum
minis and the Republican ticket did every
thing in their power to discredit the pres
ident and to checkmate the movement for
effective rate regulation. They are to-
day making their fight for the same rea-
sons that they made their fight last year.
The victory for rate regulation is not
wholly won; 1t will not be a complete
victory until the people have testified
to their appreciation of the work of the
men who have been foremost In the
movement and condemn by their votes
the men who threw every possible OBJ
stacle in the way Of effective rate regu-
Iation.
The Oskaloosa herald., 1906-10-25
How Roads Tax Iowa.

The subject of corporation control Is of
such vast magnitude when considered
can better comprehend it If we consider
it from the Iowa standpoint We have
9M miles of railroad in this state and
their gross receipts last year were s62,-
7SS 800, an increase of S., 1856, ,662 over the
preceding year. Their net earnings were
$l9 2n 500, an increase of S,916,25 over
1905. Gross receipts have increased $685.
13005S since 1896, or over 66 per cent, while
mileage increased only Is per cent.
The population of the state. according
to the state census of 1906, was 2,210,05O,
and shows that gross receipts were equal
to $2S 40 for every person in the state, or
equal to $142 for each family Of five per-
sons, or equal to $1.75 per acre for all of
the state. This is about nine times as
much per capita as is collected by the
United States government for customs du-
ties This comparison enables us to un-
derstand the Importance and necessities
for government control, and the magni-
tude of the stakes that railroad manipu-
latOrs are cOntending for. 1t can readily
be seen that so long as these men are
permitted to have unlimited power of tax
alton in their hands and can increase
their income in Iowa more than 5000 900
per annum they can well afford to give
half a million dollars worth of free trans
portatton for the purpose of creating pub
lie sentiment in their favor, and also can
afford to spend $25O,000 in a campaign to
control the politics of the state as they
have done this year. We see that with
all OF InlS large expenditure Tor bribery
purposes, there Is still left large bal
ance of trade in their favor. You remem-
ber that Senator Dolliver called attention
in the United States senate, of the eX-
penditures last year Of over 5000 900 by
the railroads for the purpose Of defeating
the legislation recommended by President
Roosevelt. 1t Is a matter of general no.
toriety that our national and state gov
ernments have fallen much under corpo-
ration domination and that the corpora
ton are expending extravagant sums of
money in their efforts to control the leg
islatiVe, judicial and executive branches
of the government. 1t Is expected that
those who participate In the spoils and
subsidies will deny this. Do not forget
this when you read the canned articles
and editorials in the newspapers and
| magazines. Corporations have no physi-
cal bodies to be punished, no soul to be
damned are not permitted to vote, and
should not be allowed to control the votes
of others. Their political representatives
are masters Of intrigue. They understand
well the force of rewards and punish
ments. They not only distribute large
sums of money but they give free passes
| and kindred brlbes to legislators, judges
and other high public officers and the
| pauper ticket to the preacher. while they
dictate the distribution OF public patron
age among the politicians. Woe be to the
man in political life who incurs their dis
pleasure.
The Oskaloosa herald., 1906-10-25
Danger in the Future.

II we encourage such methods as were
resorted to by the corporation forces dur
ing the recent campaign we may expect
litical conditions here that now exist In
Cuba. If these men are to control our
government with unrestricted powers and
they go on increasing their levies upon
the Industries Of this country as they
have during the last ten years, how long
will 1t be before we are left with only Is
per cent of our earnings as the rank and
file of the French people were before the
revolution of 1883? You may not be in
clined to heed this warning for people
are not apt to learn wisdom when en-
joying great prosperity, but when adver-
sity comes they will then be more ready
to profit by the lessons of history. 4,
Governor Cummins recommended the
last general assembly to enact a primary
election law for the state. Does not the
experience Of this year convince nearly
every one Of the wisdom of the recon-
mendation?
The Oskaloosa herald., 1906-10-25
Ticket a Strong One.

The republican ticket Is an exceptionally
good one. Senator GarSt has proved him.
self to be capable and wise legislator
and is well fitted for the office of leu
tenant governor, or any other position
that he may be called upon to fill. Every
other name on the ticket Is worthy of our
confidence. l expect the ticket to be
elected by large majority, and 1t should
be elected by such an overwhelming ma
jority that the corporations will under
stand that 1t means that they must keep
out of politics in this state, and attend
to their legitimate business.
The democrats have nominated q state
ticket of most excellent men and II the
corporations had expended quarter of a
million of dollars to defeat any one of
them | would be in favor Of having the
republicans join with the democrats and
elect him. We are all members of our
Iowa family and our interests are identi-
cal.
In other states the people are asserting
their independence and are throwing OF
corporation rule. In Minnesota the peo-
pie elected Governor Johnson, a democrat.
and at the same election gave President
Roosevelt over 160, 900 plurality. In Wis
consin Governor LaFollette was elected
by large majority with the Corporations
doing their best to defeat him. In Illi-
nois Governor Deneen and in Missouri
Governor Folk were elected with the same
forces against them. Do not let Iowa
be found taking a secondary place in this
movement. Iowa should always be found
IN the front rank OF every good work
