Penrose Predicts That Bill Will Be

A Washington dispatch says: Chair
man Penrose, of the senate finance
committee, in conference with Presi-
dent Taft, Tuesday confirmed the re-
port that 60 senators are expected to
vote for Canadian reciprocity and pre-
dicted that within two weeks a date
for vote would be agreed upon. He
declared the bill would be passed with.

gether for the purpose of considering
the wool bill and free list bill. The
tariff board has been hard at work in
vestigating the wool schedule and will
be ready to report next December, so
it is not reasonable to expect that the
Republican majority in the senate will
take up the wool bill until the report
is received.
THE free list bill opens up a wide
range of tariff discussion and the
finance committee is in receipt of nu.
merous requests from all over the
country, asking for hearings. As no
hearings on the bill were given by the
house committee, it is only reasonable
that opportunity should be permitted
by the senate"

FAVOR DIRECT ELECTIONS.
Borah Resolution Passes Senate by
Vote of Ga to "a,

Vote OF 81 to "a.
A Washington, b. c., dispatch says:
By vote of "a to "a, the senate pass
ed the Borah resolution proposing a
change in the Federal constitution so
as to provide for direct election of
United States senators. All the South
ern Democrats, with the exception of
Senator Clarke, of Arkansas, voted
against the adoption of the Bristow
amendment, which is almost identical
with the Sutherland amendment intro
duced last year, and which proposed
to lodge in congress the power to con-
troll the time, places and manner of
electing senators.
The Bristow amendment was finally
adopted, however. Following a dead
lock, when the vote stood Al and A,
Vice-President Sherman cast his vote
for the amendment.
Senators Bacon and Terrell, of Geor-
gia, voted against the original resolu-
ton and later voted against it when
the Bristow amendment had been tack
ed onto it.
Eight of the "a negative votes were
cast by Democrats and the balance by
Republicans.
The resolution will have to go back
to the house for concurrence in the
senate amendment, and must then be
ratified by three-fourths of the states
before it becomes effective as a part of
the constitution.

Program of PROGRESS,
This marvellous progress in agriculture
In our state has been brought about nv
the vigorous prosecution of an intelligent
program of progress, In which all agen
cies making for the restoration of the
foundation industry have worked inces
sanity and in spirit of fullest co-opera-
ton, harmony and unity of purpose for
the common end. When / refer to agen
cies mean such agencies as the states

farm demonstration work, the state ex-
pertinent station. the representatives of
various bureaus of the department of ag
riculture in Washington, particularly the
bureau of plant industry. the State Farm
ers' union, the Rural School Improvement
association, the rural school work and
first and foremost perhaps, both the daily
and weekly papers Of the state Incident
to the systematic and continuous work of
these agencies has been the tremendous
influence of such events as the introduce
ton of the Williamson corn method and
such accomplishments with corn records
as those of Mr.. Tindal and of Jerry
Moore The state department cf agrfcul-
ture has done its best to convert all of
these agencies into one smooth working
machine and to keep the interest of the
people aroused, ever pointing them to the
gateway to get there. That all of this
combination of working agencies, never
stopping to waste time in chickering's and
petty jealousies, has brought results meas
urng in the millions of dollars is best ev-
idenced by the fact that the real progress
did not begin further back than five or
six years ago and that when it was un-
dertaken but few of the agencies men
toned had raised their banners in the
cause. Today throughout the length and

in agricultural development is aroused

with the increased temperature in

COVER CROPS

The term "cover crop'is commonly
applied to crop grown to prevent
injruy and losses to soils and also to
improve them either directly or in
directly. 1t may be used as soiling
crop or as a green manure crop. 1t
may be grown either in summer Or
winter, whenever the land is idle or
not producing regular crop. In
western Washington where rainfall is
heavy. it is especially desirable that
the land be covered during the long,
rainy season.
USES OF COVER CROPS
Cover crops are used u to prevent
the soluble plant foods which have
accumulated during the late summer
and early fall from being leached out
and carried away by winter rains; ~
to prevent the surface erosion of hill
sides or slopes by winter rains; and
~ to supply humus.
Plant food is elaborated most rapid
~ in warm, we'll titled, we'll drained
soils. These conditions are likely to
obtain in late summer after such
crops as wheat and oats and all or
binary farm crops have ceased to draw
on the available supply. Cover crops,
sown in late summer or early fall. or
as soon after the regular crop is re-
moved as the moisture contents of
The soil will insure termination and
growth, use this plant food and store
it up on their roots and tops and in
case of the roots, and also the tops
it turned under as green manure, re-
turn it for the next crop. This is
especially true and important in the
case OF nitrates, which are most ex
pensive and most easily washed away.
The network of tibrous roots as we'll

erosive action of heavy rains. The
excess of water is stored up and COM

rather than rapidly and in channels,
thus carrying away the finest and
most fertile part OF the SOIL The
humus which is added to the soil by
these cover crops renders the soil

more sponge like and thus greater
amount of water is absorbed and
stored up for use.
The effect of the cover crop on the
soil will depend to some degree, on
the root habit of the crop. The
legumes are deep rooted plants and
are priced for this reason as we'll as

carefully preserved and returned to
the soil, the cover crop affords the
only method of supplying the humus
necessary to soil fertility. In such
cases it is we'll to turn under the
entire crop in the spring as green
manure crop. The bacterial action
in the soil is dependent on its humus

for other merits. Their roots open up
storage channels to a considerable
depth and so lessen the amount of

content, the humus serving as food
for the bacteria. So in order that
the soil may contain the necessary
elements for plant growth, the humus
content of the soil must be maintain

Humus loosens a heavy clay soil

will mature it's crop a month earlier
than poorly titled one and thus miss
the drier portion of the summer.
Ii a soil is too open, however, as is
often the case in a sandy soil, too
free a circulation of air obtains and
nitritication goes on too rapidly. The
humus is soon all oxidized and the
soil becomes dry and overheated. 1t
is therefore very essential that the
supply of humus be maintained in
sandy soil. This, humus, by filling
the pores OF spaces between the sand
particles and by serving as an absorb
ent, thus retaining moisture, prevents
the too rapid circulation of air and
maintains a more uniform tempera-
ture.
METHOD OF HANDLING
A word with reference to the method
of handling cover crop may be in
order. 1t should be sown as soon
after the regular crop is removed as
it will terminate. This is important
in order that the growth may be as
large as possible to cover the soil dur
