Farmers Must Watch the crop.

In order to determine what elements
of plant food are deficient In a soil
it is necessary to carefully study the
growing crop. Many farmers seem to
be of the opinion that a chemical an
alysis Of the soil will show the
amount of plant food contained there
in. This however, is mistaken idea.
The chemist can only determine ap.
proMmately the amount of nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash In soil.
without specifically showing what pro-
portion of these elements can be taken
up by the growing plant. A large per,
centage OF these elements is not avail
able to plant food. Hence the neces-
sity for them in an available form. We
must turn, then, to the crop, and by
watching 1t closely during its growth
and by careful examination when
matured, see whether the soil is dem
cient in plant food and what elements
are lacking

MARTIAL LAW
RULES HONDURAS

Washington, Dec. 8.-The govern
ment of Honduras, experimenting
armed invasion, has proclaimed mar
tial law throughout the republic. This
information reached the state depart
ment yesterday, but no indication IS
given as to the source from which
the invasion is expected.
1t is believed that Bonila, former
president, who was depOsed by Pres
ident Davila through the help of Ze-
laya, may be taking advantage of the
situation in Nicaragua to seek re-
venge. 1t has been suspected among
Central Americans that Davila was
in sympathy with Zelaya in his ef
forts to crush the revolution under
Estrada and thought that Bonila's
threatened invasion of Honduras
would serve the double purpose OF
preventing aid being given Zelaya and
at the same time render possible the
overthrow of the Davila government.
BOnila at present is said to be at
Belize, British Honduras. If he has
any considerable following it is
through a compromise with Hondura-
mans dissatisfied with the Davila
government

WATERWAY FOLK
IN Bic MEETING

Washington, Dec. 8.-The sixth an
nual convention of the national rivers
and harbors congress, which cOnvenes
today, promises to be the largest as
semblage of representative men inter
ested in the development of water
ways ever held in America. All the
projects which have the sanction Of
the army engineers, some of which
are in the formative period, have rep
resentatives here, large delegations
coming in from all along the Missis
sippi and Ohio.
The platform of the congress sum
married, is as follows:
First-No waterway Improvement
shall be entered upon by the govern
ment that has not the unqualified ap-
proVal of engineer corps.
Second-Projects which have re-
cefved this endorsement and now are
under construction should be pushed
as rapidly as is commensurate with
good business methods.
Third-Funds necessary should be
provided by bond issue in the event
that current revenues are insufficient
to make the river and harbor bill pos
sible each year

Health.


There seems to be no reason why
all the bureaus and offices in the gem
eral government which have to co
with the public health or subjects
akin thereto should not be united in
a bureau to be called the bureau OF
public health. This would necessitate
the transfer of the marine hospital
service to such bureau, says the
president.
The year 1918 will mark the fiftieth
anniversary of the issuance OF the
emancipation proclamation granting
freedom to the negroes. 1t seems
fitting, he says, that this event should
be properly celebrated.
Cost of Living.
1t is we'll to note, says the prest-
dent, that the increase in the cost OF
living is not confined to this country,
but prevails the world over, and that
those who would charge increases in
prices to the existing protective tar
iff must meet the fact that the rise in
prices has taken place almost wholly
in those products of the factory and
farm in respect to which there has
been either no increase in the tariff
or in many instances a very consider
able reduction.
AS to the Alsop claim against Chile
the president says Happily. as the
result of the recent diplomatic nego,
tiations, the governments of the
United States and Chile, actuated by
the sincere desire to free from any
strain those cordial and friendly re-
lations upon which both set such
store, have agreed by a protocol to
submit the controversy to definite

WAGES INCREASED
FOR MANY WORKERS

Detroit, Dec. 8.-General Superin-
tendent Brown, of the Michigan Cen
trail, said yesterday:
Our conductors and brakemen were
given an increase in wages of approx
imately Is per cent October first.
The operators were offered an IN
crease affecting fifty offices, but de-
clined the offer and are trying to ar
range an interview with the general
manager"
The Pere Marquette officials stated
that the teIegraphers received a five
per cent increase September first, that
the firemen closed negotiations for a
five to seven per cent increase Deem
Der Is and the trainmen, switchmen,

men have almost completed negotia-
tions that look promising for an in

ROOT REVEALS
M'VEACH'S REPORT
BY MISTAKE CREATES CON
STARVATION IN REPORTORIAL
CIRCLES,

Washington, Dec. 8.-SenatOr Root,
presiding in the senate yesterday IN
the temporary absence of Vice Pres
ident Sherman, unknOwingIy created
a sensation among newspaper men
whose effects were even internatiOn-
al Copies of the annual report OF
the secretary Of the treasury were in
the hands Of the newspapers through
out this country and Europe, to De
held in confidence for publication this
afternoon. The report itself still was
unsigned by Secretary McVeagh.
By some undeciphered means, two
printed copies Of the report came to
the desk of the president of the SEN
ate Senator Root handed the treas
ury report over the desk, with the
routine announcement customary IN
such cases. Instantly reporters ON
the senate floor flashed to the wires
the news that the report had become
a public document, and release" was
clicked off to Chicago, San Francisco,
New York and Europe.
1t was nearly two hours before the
fact that the blunder was made was
realized; upon the secretary's insist
ence an effort was made to recaiI
the release but he soon appreciated
that the release was irreparable and
consented to confirm it.
An amusing feature was that the
report, in accordance with the law, is
addressed only to the speaker of the
house and does not properly go to
the senate

LATER-BUT LITTLE
CRITICISM.
PRESIDENTS WINONA SPEECH TO
GO INTO COMPRESSION
AL RECORD.

Washington, Dec. 8.-Having re-
ceived the presidents message, con-
gress yesterday found itself "Out of
work" and both houses adjourned I'M
til Friday, when if some of the com
mittees fail to provide something to
do an adjournment will be. taken until
Monday.
The reading of the message con-
sumed an hour and a half in each
house. The house then adjourned and
the senate afterward held an eXecu-
tive session. The republicans seemed
to agree that the message was as sat
isfactOry a document as the president
could prepare and remain consistent
with the party's campaign pledges.
The democrats approved the presl-
dents effort to economic. but depre-
Gated his suggestion that the Monroe
doctrine practically has become Obso-
letc. Representative Clark, the MN
GRITTY leader, thought that about all
that could be said about the message
was that it was comparatively briet
as the discussion of almost all i'm
portant matters is relegated to special
message"
In both houses the printed message
was subjected to a careful scrutiny
but the members paid little attention
to the perfunctory reading by the
clerks. In both branches the message
will be prepared for ''vivisectiOn" by
the various committees whose bust
ness it is to deal with various sub
jeCts discussed.
Won't Interfere With MacVeagh.
While the impression prevails
among the members of congress that
there should be thorough investiga-
ton of the customs service as a re-
suit of the sugar frauds discovered,
there seems to be no disposition to
take the matter out of the hands of
the treasury department and the de-
partment of Justice.

TAFT'S
VIEWS
Hands Off the Tariff Till After
a Scientific InVeS-
tigatiOn.
Ship Subsidies Endorsed and
Sugar SWindIerS
Denounced.
FavorS Postal Savings Banks
For War on White
Slave Traffic.

Washington. Dec. president Taft
in his annual message to congress
deals with the tariff. the Nicaraguan
question, sugar frauds, white slavery
and other questions. Perhaps the
most important question presented
to this administration is that of econ
omy in expenditure and suficiency of
revenue, says the president, who
discusses the methods taken to meet
the deficit. The president declares
it unwise to attempt revision Of the
tariff until the facts are at hand upon
which such revision can properly be
undertaken.
Speaking generally, he says the
country is in a high state of prosper
ity He notes the increase in the
cost of living but says the tariff Is
not the cause. In those products OF
the factory and farm there has been
no increase in the tariff or in many
instances a very considerable reduc
ton, the President declares. MI,
Taft says that conservation of natural
resources, among other things, and
proposed amendments to antitrust
and interstate commerce laws will be
discussed in special messages to be
sent to congress.
Bad ZeIaya.
President Taft refers to Central
American affairs, declaring that the
Zelaya government of Nicaragua has
kept Central America in constant ten
sion or turmoil. He says:
81 need not rehearse here the pa
tient efforts of this government to
promote peace and welfare among
these republics, efforts which are
fully appreciated by the majority of
them who are loyal to their interests.
1t would be no less unnecessary to
rehearse here the sad tale Of unspeak-
able barbarities and oppression al
legged to have been committed by the
Zelaya government. Recently two
Americans were put to death by order
of President Zelaya himself. They
were reported to have been regularly
commissioned officers in the organized
forces of a revolution which had cen
tinued many weeks and was proceed
ingin an orderly fashion in control OF
about half of the republic, and as
such, according to the modern en-,
lightened practice of civilized nations,
they would be entitled to be dealt
with as prisoners of war.
cat the date when this message is
printed this government has termin
ated diplomatic relations with the
ZeIaya government, for reasons made
public in a communication to the
former Nicaraguan charge d affairs
and is intending to take such future
steps as may be found most consist
ent with it's dignity, its duty to Amer
lean interests, and it's moral obliga
tions to Central America and to civil
izatiOn. 1t may be necessary for me
to bring this subject to the attention
of the congress in a special message.
