Washington, d. c., Feb. s, 1910.
A recent bulletin issued by the
United State Department of Agri-
culture, entitled "Replanning a
Farm for Profit" deals with prin-
ciples that are vital to successful
farming in the corn belt. Few far
mers realize the difference in in
come that may be produced on their
farms by the systematic introduction
and rotation of clover or other le-
guminous crops over the entire
area of their tillable land. The
planning of rotations to meet cer-
tain feed requirements and to grow
crops which shall be the greatest
income producers under given con-
ditions is a problem that is not cas-
lily solved by all the tillers of the
soil. The conservation of soil fer
tility by appropriate rotations to-
gether with applications of manures
and fertilizers in such manner as
will maintain a permanent system
of agriculture has been largely over
looked by farm owners in the past

auto leaped into the air. and nearly
threw both Mr.. and Mrs. I.ufkin
out of their seats. The machine
crossed the tongue without any ap-
parent damage to the auto.

have resulted seriously.

Floral Parade
a Success
Twenty Thousand People
Are Spectators.

thousand people framed the streets
and square of the heart of the city,
and beyond, this morning, to be-
hold the grandest algamation of en-
thusiastic mobile demonstration in
the way of beautiful and original
representation ever effected in these
islands of the western sea.
1t is probable not an exaggeration
to say that, for the size of the city
OF Honolulu, no better floral parade,
with al, the incidentals that go with
such a professional exhibit, was
ever consummated in what is COM
monty referred to as ''the new
world" "
What tourists and visitors and
strangers happaned to be in town
today will have their mouths full of
the praises of Hawaii for what this
day has brought forth, an extrava-
ganza par excellence.
Twenty thousand people almost
half the population of the city, saw
the artistry displayed and enjoyed
the excitement and entertainment
of the unusual show.
1t was triumphant march and u
circus combined.
1t was indicative of the progress,
patriotism, wealth, happiness, con-
tentment, jollity and resource of
this city and of these islands.
In Palace square, long before ten
O'Clock the hour of starting, there
were five thousand men, women
and children, necessarily all in
their holiday attire.
Forty-six horse-rigs were backed
against the makai curbs of the Pa
lace or Union square and fty-four
automobiles were also in line at
that place, while mounted and spe-
cial guards pranced up and down to
keep back the surging multitude.
Between Alakea street and the Ju-
dietary building, along King street
there were probably seven thousand.
With these figures in Palace
square, as an indication of what the
mob meant, it is not difficult to
figure that twenty thousand saw the
parade, for from the judiciary
building along King to Nuuanu, up
Nuuanu to Beretania, along Bereta-
MIA to Thomas square, and so on,
out to the baseball grounds, there
were anxious watchers. OF course,
after the procession had passed one
point, the thousands melted to find
new locations; but all this is allow
ed for in the estimation.
From The Palace or Executive
building grounds, a very few min
utes after ten O'Clock the immense
procession started. 1t took 45 min
utes to pass the Opera House, where
few wise ones has secured seats on
the balcony.
First came the Columbia park
boys, playing music to the public'E
taste led by Major Dunning who
heralded the procession.
Then came the men of Fort Shat
ter, marching perfectly, their swing
and tread proving an inspiration
for the multitude's handclappinl

WRECKED BY DYNAMITE.
Bridge Works and Three Saloons De-
stroyed at Peoria.

Peoria, ILL.,, Sept. 5.-The Lucas Bridge
& Iron companys large plant in this
city was completely wrecked by dyna-
miters last night at 10.30 Three terrific
explosions reduced the plant to ruins.
and six adjacent buildings including
three saloons were wrecked.
Robert Gebhardt, a night watchman,
was seriously injured. and was removed
to the hospital.
Dynamiters appeared again at mid
night when two carloads of steel girders
lying in the switch yards of East Pc
oria were completely demolished by the
explosion. The cars had just arrived
from the Pittsburg steel works and
were to be used on the Peoria and
Pekin union bridge1tl now being con-
structed The Pittsburg company is a
nonunion concern.
The Peoria and Pekin union has offer
ed a reward of $1,000 for the apprehen-
sion of the dynamiters. The Lucas
company has been operating an open
shop but can give no reason for the
attempt to destroy the plant. A few
weeks ago dynamiters wrecked the large
steel spans to be used in the new Pc
oria and Pekin railroad bridge.
Labor trouble is conceded as the
cause.

THE FIRST ADDRESS
Is Delivered by Gov. Eberhart
on Economic Value"
He Says the Present Generation
Should Be Given Preference.
President Taft Delivers PrincI-
pal Speech Of the Day.

ST. Paul Sept. 5.-With every pros
pect of a warm fight for control be-
tween "state's rights delegates and
those favoring national control, the
second National Conservation congress
opened here today. The crowd began
arriving early at the auditorium to get
a glimpse of President Taft who was
on the program for an address,.
Before the convention was called to
order by President B. n. Baker. dele
gates gathered in little knots discuss
ing reports of packed delegations
made by one side or the other and
commenting on Clifford Pinchot's move
last night in forming a national COM
mission for the purpose of systematic
ing the work of state commissions and
bringing them into harmony with the
national congress.
"The economic value of conserva-
ton" was the subject of an address by
Governor Eberhart. The governor
said in part:
ANY theory of conservation, which
does not provide for the present as
we'll as the future does not cover the
entire field and can not possibly bring
the best results. From every economic
ent generation should be preferred,
since future discoveries and inventions
may render present resources of less
value and Importance to the coming
generations.
"By far the most important of all
natural resources is the soil and the
maintenance and increase of its fer
tility must therefore be given the
greatest consideration.
THE loss in farm values in nearly
all of the states as shown by the CEN
sus records from 1900 to 1900, varies
from $1,OO0,OOO to $16O. .O0O, 900 in each
state and aggregate the enormous total
of more than 81 $100O,000,0O0. Is this not
sufficient to arouse the entire nation
and cause such a wave of reform as
will plt into activity, every agency and
instrufaentality for scientific and pro-
gressive methods of agricultural recon
struction.
I'VE have the especial honor of en-
tertaining and hearing the three truly
great men who have contributed SO
much to actual achievements of the
conservation movement and they are
the three most distinguished guests of
this congress, President Taft, Colonel
Roosevelt and James J. Hill. Mime
sofa appreciates the honor and will
prove herself worthy thereof. AS her
chief executive, 1 earnestly hope that
the deliberations of this congress may
bring results far beyond our hopes or
expectations.
The afternoon program includes a
conference of governors and addresses
by them.
Governor Stubbs of Kansas has been
chosen to preside over the governor
conference. This selection was made
by the executive committee of the con-
gress and may have some significance
in it's relation to the possibilities of a
fight on the states rights issue.
No conclusive action can be taken by
the governors conference, but it is not
improbable that some resolution will be
adopted and referred to the congress
proper.

PRESIDENT TAF1vs ADDRESS.
The Conservation Congress Hears the
Views of the Chief Executive.

st. Paul Sept. 5.-President Taft in
an address before the National Con-
servation congress here today, made
plain his position on the whole sub
an exhaustive one and prepared with
greater care than any public utterance
Mr.. Taft has made since his Inaugural
ton. The president showed an exact
knoWIedSe OF the subject which sur
prised many of his hearers.
The central note of his address was
an appeal for practical common sense
in conservation.
''The time has come.'' he declared,
"for a halt in general rhapsodies over
conservation, making the word mean
every known good in the world: for
after the public attention has been
aroused such appeals are of doubtfuI
utility and do not direct the peoDle TO
the specific course that the people
should take or have their legislators
take, in order to promote the cause of
conservation.
Real conservation involves wise
non-wasteful use in the present gener-
alton with every possible means of
preservation for future generations.
THE problem is how to save and
utilize, how to conserve and still de-
velop.'
The presidents concluding sentence
was a plea that when men come for
ward to suggest evils that conservation
VIII cure, they be invited to point out
the specific evils and the specific RENE
dies; that they be invited to come
down to details so that their discus
sions may flow into channels that
shall be useful rather than into ne
riods that shall be entertaining with
out shedding real light on the sub
ject.'
President Taft announced that he
would submit TO congress the solution
of the problem of adjusting the con-
troll of water sites as between the
states ard the general government
