Out Against KannaIIy.
Sterling, ILL.,, Sept. 22.-The anti
Lorimer democrats of the Thirty-fifth
senatorial district are organizing TO
bring out an Independent candidate
against w A. Kanally. the democratic
nominee. Mr.. Kanally voted for Lori
mer and against the deep water way
proposition. The Thirty-ffth district
is composed of Whiteside, Lee and De-
Kalb counties. In the primaries there
was not a nominee from DeKalb coun-
ty, and as a result there is consider
able dissatisfaction on the part of both
the republicans and democrats. 1t is
the belief that both will support the

Heavy Sod Makes Falling Easy
Coach Harmon Is Developing a
Strong Punter.

The high school football squad
utilized Exposition park for practice
last evening and for the first time
and in the future both the playing
of games and the working out will
be done there. The field is an ideal
one for playing on and it has the
edge on any other field in this vicin-
ity. The ground is as level as a
floor and is covered everywhere with
grass. The ground is soft and when
it rains the water is absorbed at
once, keeping the field in the best of
condition for playing. Practically
any other field in this part of the
state turns into a mud puddle when
the rain comes down The only
drawback to it is the fact that there
are no bleachers to sit on and watch
the game, but his does not count
heavily as few people desire to sit
still at a football game. 1t is a
game beyond all others in causing
excitement among the onlookers and
they want to be right down next to
the field of play. 1t is probable,
however, that a small set of bleach
ers will be erected for the benefit of
those who do want to use them.
Developing Punter.
Coach Harmon is busily engaged
in developing a punter for the team.
Captain Mcintyre and Ernest Mac
Manus furnish the most available
material and both did good work
when called upon last evening. Mac
Manus, despite his lightness, is rap
idly developing into a star and he
bids fair to make one of the best
quarterbacks that the school has
ever had. He is full of ginger, well
able to direct the play of the team,
fast and accurate in his passing, and
is a good drop kicker in addition.
The prospects for administering a
defeat to the alumni seem very good.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Sept. 22.-(Spe-

peep at real ball game yesterday,
when the local team for the second
time defeated the transformers by the
count of to 1. Slapnicka, in the box
for the Rabbits, allowed but three hits,
while Dow Vandine, who twirled for
the transformers, was almost equally
effective, and would likely have won
had it not been for wobbly support.
The first run of the Rabbits came in
the fifth, and was earned. Roddy hit
to center and stole second, and then
Garzee brought him home with a sin
gle. In the next round the winning
score came in. Snyder lost Spencer's
grounder on a bad bound. A passed
ball let Spencer to second, and he
scored when Cavet dropped fly in left
field
The transformers almost tied it up
in the eighth. With two out, Stark
walked and stole, taking third on a
poor throw CorkhiIl was hit and he
also stole. Vandine was walked, and
then Manusch hit liner to the out
field. Stark counted, and Corkhill
would have gotten in also, but he trip
ped on third base and was nailed at
the plate.

Of nitrogen is may be seen from the fact that
a 100bushel crop Of corn takes from the soil
almost 100 pounds Of nitrogen In the corn and
about 48 pounds In the stalks. Rich, well-bal-
anced land in the corn belt contains about
5000 pounds of nitrogen. Therefore, II the
process OF subtraction of nitrogen goes on
year after year with never an addition, 1t can
be seen clearly that the farmers finances can
not multiply Rotation plans for grain farm
ers always should include q crop of legumes
Wheat, corn, oats and clover is a satisfactory
rotation; also wheat, corn and COW peas; also
cotton, corn and oats and COW peas. The first
of these rotations should include catch crop
of clover seeded the first year and plowed un-
der for corn as late as practicable the second
year The other two should include catch
crops Of legumes whenever possible Legumes
when plowed under perform valuable services
besides supplying the soil with nitrogen-as
they decay they supply organic matter to the
soil which helps other elements of plant food
to free themselves from the earth and into the
farmers bank account.
Now that the question of nitrogen has been
outlined, suppose we turn to the problem OF
phosphorus, the only element Of plant food we
ever shall have to buy. As to the Importance
Of the use of phosphorus upon the common
soils of the United States, DR.. Hopkins has
this to say:
phosphorus Is the key to permanent ag-
riculture on these lands. To maintain or In
crease the amount Of phosphorus in the soil
makes possible the growth of clover or other
legumes and the consequent addition Of nitro
gen from the inexhaustible supply in the air;
and with the addition of decaying organic mat
ter In the residues of clover and other crops
and in manure, made in large part from clover,
hay and pasture, and from the larger crops OF
corn and other grains which clover helps to
produce comes the possibility Of liberating
from the immense supplies in the soil sufficient

let US consider a few fundamentals of crop

let us consider a few fundamentals OF crop
growing.
First there are six positive, absolutely es-
sential factors They are: (D the seed,
(2) the plant home, (3) the food Of which the
plant is made, (4) moisture, (5) heat, (6) light.
Now, except In the case Of the seed and plant
food these factors are largely beyond the farm
er's control. Dame Nature csO, however, be
trusted to attend to them satisfactorily. How,
then, has the farmer made use of his ability to
control the two factors? BY exercising judg-
ment and care In the selection of seed and by
ignoring the matter of plant food entirely The
result? When the land was worn out and had
no plant food'to give the good seed the agrlcul-
turist arose irately in farmers institute and
told what he thought Of the seed seller The
trouble all the time was not with the seed but
with the soil, which had had the elements Of
plant food removed in previous crops and as
a consequence could not respond to the call Of
the seed.
What are these elements? There are ten
in the list but eight are provided abundantly.
Three-oxygen, hydrogen and carbon-come
directly from the air and water. Most nor
NAL soils contain enough potassium, magne-
STUN, iron, calcium and sulphur, although some
times the first must be supplied. The problem
of plant food therefore narrows ITSELF in most
cases, to maintaining and increasing the phos-
phorus and nitrogen.
Now nitrogen is as easy to catch as the
measles If one knows how. The air contains
It in inconceivable amounts. DR.. Hopkins has
estimated that the air above an acre of ground
contains about $1OOOO,O0O worth, If sold over
the counter at ordinary commercial rates. In
order to induce this nitrogen to enter the
earth where 1t may reappear as food for man,
all that is necessary is to plant clover, alfalfa,
peas or any legume. BY means Of the bacteria
upon the roots these legumes draw the nitro
gen into the SOIL How necessary the element

1908, 1909, and 1910, has spent in the
upstate portion Of New York about
$4,000 in arousing the people to the
dangers Of tuberculosis. As a direct
result of the public sentiment pro
duced by this outlay, the state, coun-
ty, and municipal authorities have al
ready appropriated for tuberculosis
work $1,5OO,Oee and appropriations for
hundreds Of thousands of dollars are

rneeps for extracting from the soil the ricn

Fastening the impoverishment OF the soil
To return to the question Of limestone, one
ton to the acre finely ground will correct the
acid condition Of most soils. 1t Is, however,
in the end cheaper and easier to apply more
and 10 apply It less often. AS much as ten
tons to the acre was applied to the soil OF one
of the experiment fields in southern Illinois
and the crop Yields there have been greater
than upon any other fields in that district
question that has been given much at
tention lately Is the question of crop rota'
ton. Undoubtedly 1t Is absolutely essential
for successful grain farming but 1t Is not
the universal panacea some would have US be-
leve. For instance, a group Of theorists
have declared that fertilization is unnecessary,
that crop rotation will keep the soils In per-
feet condition. The idea Is that plants do not
injure the soil because they use its plant food
elements but because they throw off poisonous
excreta as animals do Therefore socalled
worn-out soil simply has become saturated
with this excreta. Plant crop which will
neutralize the poison of the last crop and the
sollsoil will be sweetened and the breasts OF
Mother Earth kept dripping with plenty for
ever. This is very attractive-as theory. II
has, however, no foundation In fact, As Dr.
Hopkins has said, the rotation Of crops has just
the same effect upon wealth In the sooil as
the rotation of the check book among the
members OF the family has upon the wealth
in the bank Plant food elements cannot hs
used up and not returned without resulting
in impoverlshment Of the soil.

After the problem of returning the
elements to the soil has been solved
the farmer may find another condition
Of the soil which must be corrected
before his farm will produce as 1t
should. This is the tendency of GER
tain soils to acidity. Glover, alfalfa
and other valuable legumes cannot
thrive upon soil that is sour. Some
times on acid soils when applications
of farm manure are made, the legumes
will seem to grow well, but examina'
tion reveals the fact that the nitrogen
gathering bacteria fail to develop
properly. Hence the most valuable
contribution the legumes have to make
to the soil is largely lost. Upon Ger.
tain fields belonging to one OF the
most famous agricultural stations In
the world, that of Rothamstead, Eng
land, applications of natural limestone
we're made century ago. They are
still moderately productive, although
other fields near by, which have never
received the application, are extreme
ly unproductive.
