Forage Crops.

In the Investigation of forage crops
Of high, medium and low protein con-
tent it was found by the Minnesota
station that crops like corn fodder,
timothy hay, rape, pasture grass and
hay crops from mixed grasses were
materially Influenced in composition by
the use of farm manures. The maxi
mum protein content was secured from
soils where the fertility had been main
tanned by the use of manures and crop
rotations. Less fiber and from % to
80 per cent more protein were secured
from forage grown upon soils where
the supply of plant food had been kept
up than from that grown on similar
and adjoining soils where the fertility
had been allowed to decline. This en-
phasizes the Importance of maintaining
the fertility of the soil as factor in
producing forage not only of the lar
gest yield per acre, but also Of the
highest feeding value.
The leguminous crops as clover, al
falfa and peas do not appear to be as
susceptible to the influence of fertiliz-
ers in increasing the protein content as
crops like timothy, corn fodder and
rape. The use Of larger amounts of le
guminous crops and other forage rich
in protein requires less supplementary
feeding with grain and mill products.
An examination of a number Of sam
pies of clover, alfalfa, pea, bean, rape
and millet seeds of known purity and
uniform ripeness showed in the case Of
each sample, two distinct types of seed,
one of high and the other of low pro-
TEN content. The two types were ca
pable of being selected on the basis Of
physical properties. The high protein
seeds were darker In color and more
corneous in character than the low pro-
tein seeds. 1t is believed that a Sc
lection Of seeds on the basis of physical
properties into high and low protein
types may result in producing forage
crops of the maximum protein content
In the same way as has been accom-
pliShed with wheat and corn.

L,me-surphur-salt Wash.

The experts of the Department of
Agriculture have been conducting some
further experiments with the lime-sul-
phur-salt wash and its substitutes for
spraying trees for the destruction Of
insect pests, and as a result two new
formulas are proposed which are be-
lieved to be Improvements on those for
merly In use. One Is to omit salt and
use caustic soda In place of lime. The
composition is as follows: Water, so
gallons; powdered sulphur, 10 pounds;
caustic soda, 10 pounds. Make a paste
of the sulphur with not more than 51a
gallons Of boiling water; at once add
all the caustic soda, which has previ-
ously been broken up into pieces the
size Of a hickory nut or smaller, and
stir occasionally for one-half hour. At
the end of this time add 441a gallons
of water, stir, and the wash is ready
for use. Another formula Is proposed
which Is the same as the above with
the addition of 171a pounds of slaked
lime. The lime, made into a paste, Is
added just before the remainder of the
water

Manitowoc Official saved by Techni-
caIify in Hearing After Suspension.
A technicality saved Police Chief Au-
gust Drews of Manitowoc and reinstated
him on the force after hearings on charges
filed against him had resulted in his sus-
pension. The police commission held that
the charges had not been sustained in
the form presented, though the chief was
summoned and censured for negligence
and for failure to properly investigate
arrests made by his officers. charge that
constituted the basis of one complaint.
Drews was summoned out of bed at mid
night to appear before the commission
for censure and was allowed to return to
the force the next morning. One result
of the decision is that August Eggert,
patrolman, who is under 30-day suspen-
sion on charges of neglect filed by the
chief, will not return to the force, having
returned to employment as ship car
penter. Eggert testified against the chief.
1t is reported that there will be a gen.

As a protest against the premiscuous
appropriations of, State money to private
enterprises, the committee on manufac-
turers and labor of the Assembly, which
comprises two members of the labor
unions, viii introduce resolution asking
an appropriation of $1,000 for the State
Federation of Labor. The appropriation
would practically be to the Social Demo-

that State money is appropriated to adj
vance q minority political organization.
Those who were instrumental in present

water Power Acts.

The Assembly has concurred in the
Senate water power bills under suspen-
sion of the rules and without word of
debate. These measures aside from the
great public utility bill and the insur-
ance bills are the most important, the
most radical and far-reaching measures
considered this session. They authorize
the construction and maintenance of a
system of water reservoirs located on the
tributaries of the Wisconsin river north
of the south line of Lincoln county for
the purpose of producing a uniform flow
of water in the Wisconsin river and its
tributaries. The authority is granted to
the Wisconsin Valley Improvement Com
pany subject to the supervision and con-
troll of the State rate commission. The
profits of the company are to be limited
to per cent a year. This law will en-
courage the movement to improve the
water power facilities in central and
northern Wisconsin which will eventually
result in gigantic comprehensive plant
for the conservation and distribution of
power which will greatly advance the ma
terial prosperity of the State.
