SOIL NOT DEPLETED.
DR.. Taylor spoke along similar
lines and brought out the fact that
the soil was not depleted, but con-
tains within it the necessary ele-
ments essential for greater yields. He
emphasized the need of proper seed
selection, and stated that there were
four steps necessary to get the best
results, /. e., have the seed bed right,
fertile soil, the right kind of seed
and proper cultivation. BY rotation
of crops. DIR. Taylor stated that land
could be used over and over again
without depletion, provided proper
fertilizers were used.

visibility of introducing the agricul-

be difficult to procure efficient

the month. The miscellaneous report
shows there were 43 births, Of which
% were male and 81 deaths.
DISCUSSES CONTRACTION.
Appended to the report is lengthy
discussion of the health conditions in
Rock Island. In part this reads as
follows:
During the past month diphtheria
has been prevalent about us and In
Davenport a serious epidemic ragged
Here We had but one case and nc
deaths Much of the credit for this
highly favorable condition is due tc
our competent school authorities. OuI
best physicians arc cooperating with

cases are reported to us and kept un

to the usual methods of examination

a new rule, that no case of diphtheris
can be released from quarantine until
the culture test has proved the cas-
to be free from diphtheria germs. 4

still carry diphtheria germs, as shown
in the Davenport epidemic.

RULING ON COMMISSION
LAW is DUE THURSDAY
Especial to The Argus.)

Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 19.-Pros-
poets of an immediate extra session
of the legislature are lowering about
the decisions of the state supreme
court to be handed down Thursday
morning. Around the litigation be
gun against the state treasurer to
prevent the payment of the appro-
p-iatiol to equip the College of Ply
sicians and Surgeons as an adjunct
of the University of Illinois is woven
the constitutional fate OF legislation
passed under the present procedure
at Springfield.
The suit involving the medica
school is based on the failure CT the
legislature to fully comply with the
law, which in plain mandate makes
it necessary for all bills to be reaL
three times in each house.
The law further directs that al
conference reports shall be printed
before acton by the legislature. This
has not been the custom, it is charg-
ed, bills being presented at the elev-
enth hour and submitted to a vote
on one reading.
The primary law, city commission
law, omnibus bill, appropriation
measures and railroad and labor leg
! islation were all conference matters
and the Independent practitioners
who seek to enjoin the paying OF
the medical school appropriation, de-
clare these subjects were not put

sion to the legislators for a vote.
