Adoption Of Reciprocity Agree
ment with Canada Means
Enlarged Free List.
PROPOSITION UP TO CONGRESS
President Urges Prompt Action
Duties Lowered on 81 per
Cent. of Imports from
Dominion.

washington. Jan. 2s.--Within lers than
IN months after the initiation by Pres-
Gent Taft Of negotiations with the
Ianadian government there was to-day
laid simultaneously before the American
Congress AZ Washington and the
1 madam Parliament at Ottawa. a
reciprocity arrangement which, IL ap-
proved by tho legislative branches of the
two governments. will surely do much,
IN the opinion OF the negotiators. to en-
large and lib,ralize the trade between
the United states and Canada.
Usually such arrangements take the
FORM of treaty but in the present in
stance this was not done with the re-
suit that considerable time will be saved
In the contamination OF the agreement
which can be made effective by simple
majority vote in each of the two Legisla-
lures. In the case OF treaty it would
be- necessary, in the United States at
'oaSt to have the approval OF n fulr two
thirds Of tho Senate but now the way is
clear FOR the ways and means committee
81 tho House and the finance committee
Of tho Senate to proceed as II would with
sny tariff bill.
The animatinG purpose OF Secretary
Knox appears to have been to secure
reduction OF the high cost OF liv-
Ing by greatly charging the free list
30 far as It relates to foodstuffs com
ing from Canada. On the other hand
he secured notable abatement OF du
hes on a number Of American pro
6ucts consumed In Canada. Prominent
hmong these Is bituminous coal, which
Is now exported to Canada to the
value of several million dollars an
nually. There also is much better
opening for American farm machinery
IND implements.
NINE PER CENT. UNAFFECTED.
It is a notable fact that no less than
bl per cent. of the Canadian goods
iinported into the United states will
benefit by considerable reductions Of
huty and only nine per cent. of our
Canadian imports will remain I'M
affected.
The intention Of the commissioners to
remove all duties on printing paper and
wood pulp was effected. so far as the
dominion government could do It, out
tide the limitations existing In the laws
Of the Canadian provincial governments
imposing import duties on wood cut on
crown lands in Canada, but It would ap-
pear that the American duty will lie
only upon the comparatively small pro-
portion of Canadian pulp or wood cut
on such crown lands.
The agreement, to become effective,
must be put in the shape Of law amen
satory Of the existing tariff acts In the
United States and in Canada, and it
Will require sharp work to accomplish
This so far as Congress is concerned
In the brief period Of time remaining
b, the present session.

BEST RESULTS WITH ALFALFA
Secured by Early Spring Flowing
With Drill on Land Previously
Put in Good Condition.

The young alfalfa plant Is AZ tender
and delicate as the well-established
plant is strong and hardy. so that
while 1t is necessary to have the land
In excellent filth and all other condi-
lions favorable for starting this crop,
well-established field may be har-
rowed and disked, and sometimes
even plOwed without destroying or
even injuring the plants, writes Carl
Schofield in the Denver Field and
Farm. In fact, surface cultivation
when the plants are nearly or quito
dormant, as In the early spring, seems
to actually improve the stand and
invigorate the growth.
The best results with alfalfa on
dry lands are secured by early spring
sowing with drill on land that has
been previously put in excellent con-
dition Of filth. The seed is usually
sown without a nurse crop and the
land should be as free from weeds as
possible, for wher the alfalfa plants
are young they may be easily injured
by weeds. During the first summer
the new alfalfa field needs no atten-
ton except possibly clipping with
mower set high to cut any rank
weeds that may have started and tc
cut back the taller alfalfa plants. This
moving is usually left on the ground
to form mulch. The second sum-
and may be cut once for hay crop
and II conditions are favorable enough
second growth will be made to give
light crop.
When seed production Is the aim Of
alfalfa growing, light hay crop Is
usually cut very early. before the
plants are in bloom and the second
crop Is then the larger and sets seed
freely. With alfalfa seed at its pres
ent price, seed production on the dry
lands is much more profitable than
the hay crop unless hay is very scarce
and high priced. After the second
year field may be disked and har.
rowed with impunity without injurin9
the plants, SO that 1t is quite possible
to materially aid In the conservation
of soil moisture and alfalfa fields even
II the ground is thickly covered with
plants. 1t has been found profitable
to SOW alfalfa in rows and cultivate
1t from time to time and even to grow
wheat crop in alternate years with
out injuring the alfalfa, which would
yield fair crops OF hay during the al
ternate years. 1t Is reasonable to be
lieve that good results will follow
attempts to grow alfalfa as an inter
titled crop.

WAYS OF DESTOYING STUMPS
Stick of Dynamite or Fuller Will Do
Work Quickly and CIeanIy-
Burning Also Good.

Is there any way to kill stumps and
roots of yellow locust, after the trees
are cut down, to keep them from suck
ering all over the land. They vary in
size from six to eighteen inches in
diameter. thought of boring holes
in them and filling same with poison
and corking them up again. Will this
prove satisfactory, or is there any bet
ter way?
Answer-Best to destroy the stump
while you are about It. A stick of
dynamite or a stump puller will do
this work most quickly and clearly.
If you wish a milder treatment, salt
peter has been recommended One
subscriber who practices this method
gives the following directions: I'm
the fall, say November, bore an inch
hole down into the center of the
stump IA or 16 inches deep. Put a
couple of ounces of saltpeter into this
hole, fill with water, and plug up
tight. In the spring take out the plug.
pour into the hole about half gill of
kerosene oil, and light it. The stump
will burn away slowly, without blaz-
ing, to the ends of the roots, leaving
nothing but ashes"
