Entertained by Windy City As

Chicago, Nov 29.--Chicago housed

DOING NO PARTICULAR GOOD
Edison's View of So Called Dissolu-
ton of Trusts.

Washington, Nov. 29.-That the
greatest warships will. be operated
throughout and propelled by electricity
is the prediction of Thomas A. Edison,
following visit to the navy yard here.
The wizard said he was not able
to talk politics, but expressed the fol-
lowing opinions:
Il fail to see wherein these dissc-
lutions of the trusts are doing any
particular good.
'The Sherman law does not seem
to fit as 1t should. But dissolution is
not in reality destroying the trusts.
II simply permits them to dissolve
after a fashion and then reorganize
In various states and continue AS
separate companies, doing what they
have been forbidden by law to do by
the courts as one big company. There
is something wrong In that condition
that should be remedied, for If the
condition is an evil the other GER
tainly is, too"

At this stage the Berlin bankers
called upon their friends in New York.
Wall street, at least, was neutral. But
Wall street, too, was a divided camp.
Some of the leaders in American
finance had liquidated pretty nearly
everything they had in the way of Sc
curities. John ID. Rockefeller was one
OF these. He and his friends of the
Standard Oil group were peeved be-
cause the government had ordered
their pet enterprise disbanded. J. p.
Morgan was less discouraged He was
an optimist and optimists always have
more securities than cash on hand.
John ID. was the only big man with
$100,000,000 lying around loose and
available to save the Berlin bourse
from disaster and It's banks from an
extremely awkward position. Rookie
feller was at Forest Hill playing golf.
He was willing to see that the German
bankers got their needed sl00,000,000
on one condition. That condition was
that the peace of Europe should not
be broken.
1t was a hard condition for the Ger
man bankers, but they were equal
to It.
Incidentally, it is said that the Ber-
lin bankers paid rate of interest
somewhat above current time loaning
rates in New York.

innate that two gunboats will be dis

MORE FUNDS ARE NEEDED
Says Department Turned Four Million
Dollars into the Federal Treasury
During the Fiscal Year 1911 and
Recommends That the Bureau Be
Given Larger Appropriation in Or.
der to Extend Its Activities.

Washington, Nov 29.-The trust
busting" crusade of the federal gov
ernment has demonstrated, in the
judgment of Attorney General Wick
ersham, that the powers of the bureau
of corporations should be enlarged and
the bureau brought into closer rela-
tionship with the department of JUS
tice. The attorney general will treat
this subject in his annual report, rec
ommending that the bureau be given
the means and the legal authority to
acquire facts regarding the operations
OF all corporate business.
To carry out the attorney generals
views congress would have to give the
bureau much larger appropriation.
The attorney general will show in
his annual report that the department
OF justice was run at a big profit dur
Ing the fiscal year of 1911. From fines,
lumber trespass, the recovery of Gus
toms duties, ETC., the legal depart.
ment turned s4,000,0O0 into the fed

Rotation Helps the Beet Crop.

officials of the department of agri-
culture have noticed that a serious
situation has arisen in many regions
where the sugar beet is grown. In
the vicinity of many factories the
average yield of beets is less than ~
tons per acre. In order that sugar
beets may compete with other crops
the average yield must be not less
than ten tons per acre. A study of
this situation by the department has
shown that in many places new lands
recently put under irrigation are lack
ing in humus and therefore in produc-
ing power for such crops that men
who grow beets in rotation with for
age crops, keep live stock and make
proper use of the manure thus pro
duced obtain good yields of beets. In
some instances yields Of over twenty
tons to the acre have been obtained.

EASY TO NEGLECT ALFALFA
Crop Does So Well Naturally That
Many Western Farmers Let It
Go on by Itself.

Alfalfa does so well naturally in
this western country that our farmers
neglect it and let 1t get on by itself
the best 1t may. This, however. is
not the way to make money out OF the
alfalfa crop. says the Denver Field
and Farm. Every patch in the coun-
try needs a good winter dressing OF
fine manure put on by a spreader If
possible. We are pleased to have the
following testimony from one OF our
Weld county subscribers: 81 have
been raising alfalfa under irrigation
for twenty-five years. | have hauled
vast quantities of manure and spread
it on top of the alfalfa in the winter
season and never saw any bad results
from It, but much benefit. ! have
built movable corrals and yarded
large bands of sheep on 1t during the
winter months and no bad results fol-
lowed. Some folks recommend plow-
ing it up every five years for other
crops. but | cannot do that. The al
falfa would come up so thick in the
blowing that hoed crops would not do
much good. We manure it as much
as we can and cultivate thoroughly
every spring with a spike disk and
never pillow it up. | have plowed it
several times. but 1t is difficult TO
kill out and not very easy to get a
stand again. The young plants need
much care to get through our
long dry summers. Alfalfa does not
get to its best condition till the third
year. After that with proper cult
walton the crop is good for a mans
lifetime and does not seem to grow
poorer with time. We believe. how
ever. that It will be necessary to give
all our alfalfa fields good top dress
ing in winter"

There are now four special methods
by which consumptive workingmen in
the United States are being cared for.
In such cities as Albany, Elmira and
Binghamton, N. Y, the unions support
a separate pavilion or hospital. In
cities like Hartford, New Britain and
South Manchester, Conn, the work
men contribute towards the mainte-
nance of fund for the care of con-
sumptives. The employers also con-
tribute to these funds. There are also
two national sanatoria for the treat
ment of tuberculosis owned and oper-
ated by labor unions; one by the in
ternational Typographical union and
the other by the Printing Freshmen
and Assistants union. In Massachu-
sets, Illinois and elsewhere large cor
porations and manufacturers have
agreed voluntarily to care for all their
consumptive employees for a limited
length of time.
