A laundering Defence

When Mr.. Pinchot left the witness
stand after testifying before the Bal
finger commission there was a gen
eral feeling that he had not strength
ened his case against Ballinger by
the manner and temper in which he
had presented it. The general feel
ing now about Mr.. Ballinger him
self is probably not very different.
In this long-drawn-Out but still high
ly animated controversy the princi-
pals have not shone either as con-
troverslalists or as witnesses. Hon
ors in that respect are fairly even.
But as the man on trial is Mr.. Bal
linger and not Mr.. Pinchot, the net
result of the exchange of plumbers is
more damaging to the defence than
to the prosecution The case
against Mr.. Ballinger should not be
decided by the press or the country
until the commission has finished
trying it. The reports in the news
papers are said to lack both fullness
and accuracy; and more evidence
may still remain to be heard. But
other people besides Mr.. Ballinger
and Mr.. Pinchot have been involved.
The antedating of Mr. Wickersham's
IepoIC VI oplhlOn, winch was long
supposed to have been before the
President when he first acted on the
CLAWS charges, and the disingenuous
attempt to conceal Assistant Attor-
ney-General LAWYERS part in the
business these incidents pre-
sent matter for legitimate and imme-
date criticism. That criticism has
been forthcoming; and SO far as it
has come from Independent sources
it has been distinctly unfavorable
both to Mr.. Ballinger and Mr.. Wick
ersham. Mr. Wickersham is clearly
responsible for whatever deception
was involved in the wrong date at
the head of his extended opinion, and

SEEDING WITH OATS.

In warm ATTITUDES, where the heat
makes nitrogen available very early
in the season, oats incline to grow
very rank. It is their nature to make
a heavy leaf growth and to use up
soil water freely. In such localities
experience has demonstrated that
young clover plants do not have a
fair chance of starting life under
these conditions. On higher levels
and in more northern ATTITUDES ex-
cellent stands of clover are secured
in oats. 1t is a matter of location
and soil and season. One man seeds
with oats and does right and another
man refuses to do so and does right.
The underlying point in it all is that
a young clover plant has a right to
some air and fertility and moisture.
and some chance to harden up bit
before given sudden full exposure to
the hot sun. If man knows that he
can give a clover plant such a chance
IN his oat land he should go ahead
and seed regardless of others meth
DDS, and if one cannot give the plant
such chance he should refuse to
seed, no matter what others practice
or teach. Again, it is a question of
conditions and not of a fixed method.

DEEP FLOWING FOR CORN.

One man p1ows deep for corn and
gets big crops and another is very
sure that method is wrong. He has
plowed land eight inches deep for
corn and cut down his yield thereby.
The corn plant should have a suffi-
cent amount of vegetable matter in
the surface soil to keep the physical
condition right and to supply the sur
face feeders of the plant. If land
is in a high state of fertility so that
the breaking pillow, which runs eight
inches deep, brings to the surface
about as good soil as that which it
buries, the yield of corn probably is
not limited by the deep blowing
which tends to keep the soil deep and
in dry season the plant may root
deeply more easily and thus with
stand drought better On the other
hand, very much land does not have
enough vegetable. matter in it to
grow full crop of corn, and when
one is considering the immediate
crop the best results may be obtained
by mixing the sod with only five or
six inches of the top soil. There can
not we'll be one universal method
when there is a wide variety of con-
ditions. [ think that what we want
in corn growing is rotting organic
matter in the top soil, and if we can
have it also deeper in the ground so
much the better for the land and
probably for the crop we are grow
ing. If our supply of decaying vege-
tation is limited, we must pillow more
shallow. If we are thinking only of
the present yield of corn the question
is one of results, and the method
which brings them in a particular
field is the right one in that instance.

companies as sole suureties on their
official bonds. IT has been the prac-

sureties for one-half the penalty on
a postmaster's bond, the other halt
being personal. The change in the
regulation obviates the necessity for
two bonds and is in the interests OF
simplicity.
