The Road Roller Complete.
HUMUs FoR lie soIL.
Necessity of Restoring This Element
Where it Has Been Exhausted.

An extensive chemical survey has
been taken of the soils of Tennessee,
and it has been found that humus is
one of the principal factors in soil
fertility found to be lacking in that
state. Commenting on the loss of
humus and the means of replacing
it, the investigator, Charles A. Mooers
of the Tennessee station in bulletin
rs lately issued makes these observa-
tions:
One of the soil constituents which is
well known to decrease under usual
cultivation is humus, as the dark
colored organic substances which re-
suit from the decay of vegetable mat
ter, ETC., are called. The value of
vegetable matter in the soil can hard
ly be overestimated. Especially is this
true in the south, where the climatic
conditions through large part of the
year are favorable to oxidation and
consequent loss of humus from the
soil.
In addition, the prevailing soil tex
ture, and the hilly and rolling nature
of the country, are such that except
on well-set grass land there is a con-
tinual loss of the best of the soil by
| washing. This loss of surface soil
may have something to do with the
maintenance of the mineral plant-food
supplies, which are, to a certain ex-
tent, renewed in this way; but, on the
other hand, it takes away the humus
and its chief plant-food constituent,
nitrogen, both OF which are found in
only meager quantities in the sub
soil
Furthermore, with this loss of hui
mus there is a decided deterioration
in which structure. or filth, of the
soil, which dries out sooner, bakes
worse, and is more troublesome to
handle than when first cultivated
For these reasons particular atten-
ton should be given to the building
up of the soil by the incorporation Of
vegetable matter, and to its retention
by deep blowing to prevent washing,
by the growing Of cover crops, and in
some cases by the use of embank-
ments and the like.
The disfavor with which many farm
ers look upon commercial fertilizers
comes as result of relying too much
on small applications of the mineral
elements without either making ade-
quate applications of farmyard ma
nure or following system of cropping
which would in and of itself do much
toward the maintenance of soil fertili-
ty especially with respect to the sup
plies of both vegetable matter and
nitrogen.

DECEIVlNG THE EDITOR,

The difficulties surrounding the fur
nishing Of reliable news to the public,
which is an old story to newspaper
men, seems never to have sufficiently
penetrated the public mind. The pub
lie having originated mostly in
small towns, where items are scarce
as hens teeth as the frequent an
nouncement of the editor relates, be-
lieves that newspapers and all editors
are il th{s unhappy state of paucity
of puryeyings. out Of it's abundant good
nature the public seeks to heln our a
fellow mortality relating to him things
partly true and partly false. The ed
itor, not the informant, is subsequent
ly held to responsibility.
The popular impression that all is
grist that comes to the EDITORS mill,
is perhaps responsible FOR some of tn
annoying errors which get into news
papers. 1t is assumed that the news
paper will be glad to get something
to fill up" The picture of the respon-
sible editor throwing away more than
he prints and toiIing to verify his
facts seems to have made but slight
impression upon the American mind

THE CHURCH is NEEDED.

It is time for Milwaukee to discour-
age the idea that the church and
church members should not interest
themselves in civic affairs. The idea
is one fitted for currency only in
pagan countries where temporal
rulers feel themselves all sufficient
in matters of government 1t has no
place in a Christian community, for
here the law of God is, or is supposed
to be, the inspiration of the law of
man. To declare that the people Of
the church should ''stick to their own
affairs" is equivalent to saying that
lay governments should be managed
by those who acknowledge no al
legiance to the Divine law, and in
manner totally divorced from it.
The hope for good government,
better economic and social conditions
in Milwaukee, as in every other city
in the United States, lies in the I'M
ion of all good citizens, both inside
and out Of the church, in the cause
of civic righteousness. The hope Of
the church itself-and conversely the
cause of its present lack of in
fluence-lies in a completer know
ledge and a more active participa-
ton in the matters of every day life
No church can save souls merely
by sermons. It must cope with these
envirOnmental evils which make the
souls sin. Neither can a city gov
eminent correct political economic
and social evils merely by legislating.
It must have as an inspiration and
goal the Higher Law. which is God
AS a manifestation of the greater
interest which the churches Of the
city are taking in local affairs, the
recent investigation by ministers In
to certain social evils is to be com
mended 1t indicates a desire for
first hand knowledge, the lack Of
which has sometimes caused church
men to propose ideal remedies which
could not possibly be put into law
and enforced. 1t should be followed
by other investigations and by an
active cooperation with the city auth
critics TO improve existing conditions.
Milwaukee needs her churches. The
churches need Milwaukee. Ona stands
to gain greater idealism; the other
greater practically. Working togeth-
er they can bring about surer and
saner reforms in the interest of good
government in the city, the state and
the nation.-MilWaukee Journal

Kinds of Vehicles and Charges.
"In the City of Mexico is the most
complete inspection of the cab serv-
ice I've ever seen anywhere" said
Col j. M. Strange of st. Louis.
THE police in the capital Of the
sister republic keep such close tab
on the hackmen that it is the rarest
thing for any argument to ever rise
between a cabby and his fare. The
stranger speedily finds out that there
is an easy way of telling the differ
ence of tariffs in the public convey
ances. The cabs are differentiated by
the flags they carry and stripes on the
side of the vehicle. 1t is a color
scheme. Blue cabs are 81 an hour
and red cabs only Is cents. The blue
flag rigs are, of course, trifie smart
er and have horses a shade better
than the cheaper ones denoted by
the red flag and crimson stripes. Also
the pilgrim from the United States
must take notice that if the top of

Hack inspectors are kept at regular
stations through the city When a
cab is seen to leave the railway Sta
ton it is stopped by one of these
officials, who takes it's number the
number of passengers their destina-
ton and the time. This information
goes to the central office and is ne-
corded. All this trouble is taken IN
the interest of the public, ana that is
why one gets good service and il
