THE SCHOOL OF ABUSE.

Washington Post: Serious news has
come out OF Connecticut. Yale univer-
sity has commissioned a London press
cutting agency to secure copies of all
printed and pictorial political 'litera-
ture" issued in England during the two
electoral campaigns of last year. Elec-
ton addresses, pamphlets, cartoons,
leaflets, posters, newspaper reports,
editorials, magazine articles-all are
to be fish coming to this lucky agency's
net.
The avowed object is TO obtain for
American students of British history
a representative collection of all phases
of political thought developed at a
great crisis in the evolution of the
British constitution.
If the agency does it's work thor
oughly, it will require a special steam
err and several special trains TO trans
port this unique collection to it's des-
tination, and a huge staff of expert
investigators will be needed to devote
their whole time for months to come
to the separation of the wheat from
the chaff. We say this advisedly, for
in ninety mine elections out of hun
dred the broad constitutional issues
at stake were so obscured by local
considerations and by personal re-
ordinations that the puzzled voter
could scarcely tell what the pother
was about
There is one danger which awaits
the men who are to strain out the

sidering all the conditions and inter-
ests involved.
The Soil.
! While perhaps too much emphasis
has been placed on the chemical and
physical condition of the soil in rela-
ton to reduction in yield, these condi-
lions are nevertheless very important.
and, In many cases, may be the prin-
cipal cause of reduction in yield. The
grasses and grains in general do best
on soils In which the water supply is
abundant, though no excessive. The
clay loans or the sandy loans rich in
organic matter afford the best physical
conditions for maintaining a well reg
ulated water supply and are thus more
favorable in this respect to the grains
and grasses. The nitrification of this
organic matter supplies the needed
nltrates, and the general processes of
decay bring about the solution of the
potash, phosphorus and calcium com
pounds. making them more readily
available. All these changes are
brought about through the action of
specific groups of bacteria. II Is es-
sential therefore that these processes
~ SehStS' ''A dCtlOIl anu the changes

fully investigated in relation to crop
production and the maintenance of
fertility. Certain it is that the supply
OF organic matter must be maintained
in order to get fertility. This can be
accomplished In general only by rota-
ton of crops including grass or clover
crops. 1t is worthy of note that the
short seasons and cold winters of the
north are extremely favorable to the
maintenance of organic matter in the
soil. Nitrification takes place at the
time of greatest usefulness to the
growing crop and stops after the
growing season. We may expect there
fore, up here, to get the maximum
beneficial effects from organic matter
incorporated into the soil
The other beneficial effects from ro
tatton are the reduction of insect and
fungus pests that accumulate from
year to year under systems of constant
cropping.

OF our lighter soils that eventually

This rotation will be found adaptable
to average conditions where mixed
farming is practiced; dairy stock, meat
animals, seed grain and corn, with
poultry farming are the systems to be
more, or less emphasized. Manure
would be applied to the grain stubble
to be .plowed under for the corn in the
major rotation and after the soiling
crop for the corn in the minor system.
If one found it more advantageous,
the corn could follow the pasture and
thus change places with the grain. In
this use manure would be applied on
the pasture and plowed under in the
fall. With the grain crop following the
corn, clover or rape could be seeded
on the disced corn land to be plowed
under in the fall.
For the meadow and the pasture,
timothy and clover seed is drilled in
with the wheat.
The grain" following the pasture in
this rotation, may all or in part be
oats, barley, wheat, speltz, flax.

use. On most of our good agricultural
land in the northwest, it is certain that
systematic rotation would give far bet
ter net returns per acre than the or
binary practice. AS agriculture set
ties down 10 better business methods
stock raising and rotation will become
important features OF agricultural OPP
erations. Some grain men fear that
grain production will for this reason
fall off, but think these fears are I'M
founded. Corn will certainly become a
more important crop as stock raising
develops, and IL earlier maturing varie-
ties can be secured, will have Its place
as far north as it can be grown. One
acre under rotation will produce as
much wheat as two under the old sys-
tenn, and with improved varieties and
more attention to seed selection and
cultural methods, 1t is not likely that
there will be any reduction in the total
wheat supply from the present agri-
cultural area even under a five-year
rotation.

Future of Wheat Growers.
1t is true that I'm states farther
south wheat has greatly declined with
the advent of stock raising and corn
growing, but in the northern spring
wheat belt, no such extensive substitu-
tion is possible even if it were de-
si-able. The peculiarly favorable con-
dition for the production Of spring
wheats Of high quality and the fact
that wheat prices are likely to increase
rather than decline makes the future
growth of this crop almost certainty.
1t is evident from this brief review
that while much has already been ac-
complished by the stations in the In
terest of improved methods of grain
culture, only a beginning has been
made and valuable practical results
await careful, patient research. In the
meantime, we have much to do in
bringing about the adoption of meth
DDS easily within the reach of every
farmer that would greatly increase this
production and profits from farming.
This viii be accomplished by a general
uplift in education, consolidation of
rural schools, agriculture in the high
schools, schools of agricultural tech
nology, working in close harmony with
the agricultural college and experiment
station and the agricultural extension
and demonstration work. This work
must be of the solid, systematic kind
that builds in substantial way from
good foundations. The hysterical,
brass band, noisy type is worse than
useless.
I append some suggested rotations
based on the work of the Minnesota
experiment station and prepared at my
request by Prof C. p. Bull, agronomist
of the station.

tended to five years by adding an
other year of meadow or pasture after
the clover. If the subsoil is of a
clayey nature this is to be recon-
mepded. The minor rotation sunpIe-
ments the major and is used for all
such purposes as Rotation A.
This type of rotation is likely to be
largely followed in so-called north
western section Of Minnesota, where
the soil is Of sandy and sandy loan
nature. On such soils 1t Is advisable
to apply the manures in limited
amounts and often; for decomposition
goes on rapidly and the teaching il

vide pasturage for sires, young stock
or brood mares, sows, ETC.; breeding
plots for corn and grains; roots for
live stock and other sundry secondary
purposes for which small areas on a
farm are always in demand.
1t is not expected that this rotation
would be adapted, in lots, to any spe-
citic farm, but with a few minor
changes the system would apply to
any average farm. If more wheat would
be desired IL could easily be provided
for as follows: Wheat could here
take the place Of flax. - Wheat could
take the place of either the barley or
oat fields, as a whole or in mart.
