In selecting a soil for corn TINS

If the soil is not naturally rich III

Another point in favor Of stable
manure for corn is that it furnish
most plant food during the hot part
of the season when the corn is most
in nee of a regular and constant
supply of nourishment.
The stable manure is deficient ia
phosphoric acid and it is a good idea
to apply from zoo to 800 pounds OF
phosphate per acre. The super
phosphates are readily available but
the soil holds phosphoric acid we'll

The present makeup Of the board
Of trustees of the University of
Pennsylvania---to which, by the way,
seven new members have only recent

that action looking to the turning OF
the University into State college
will soon be taken. There are some
reasons why Pennsylvania might find
it advantageous to be the educational
child of the Commonwealth. The
University in common with most OF
Americas higher institutions of learn
ing, finds itself continually in need OF
funds. For years, II is declared
there has been an annual deficit OF
$4,000. That this amount has always
been made up through the generosity
Of former provost Harrison is not inn

ficient to meet expenses. To this in

Will Be Taken Up When House
Of Lords Is Disposed Of.
Several Party Leaders Promise Sup.
port Of Proposed Measure.

London. Feb. 16.-During tile pre-
liminary home rule debate in tie
House of Commons Wednesday Pre-
lnier Asquith reiterated his declaration
that the governments first task after
.he veto bill'' had been disposed OF
would be TO carry out policy Of 1uli
self government for Ireland.
The Nationalist member of the
House of Commons were present in
force for the preliminary skirnish Oh
the home rule question, which arose
as the result of an amendment to the
address In reply to the speech from the
throne moved in the lower House By
Ian u. Malcolm, Conservative member
for Croydon.
Complaining that the obscurity OF
the Ministerial statements on the sub
ject Of home rule hampered an effec-
tive deliberation on the proposed
changes of the relations between the
two Houses of Parliament, Mr.. Nal
colin asked on what terms peace had
been patched up between the Liberals
and Nationalists.
Premier Asquith in IL brief speech
which drew forth vigorous cheers from
the Irish and Liberal benches declared
that everyone voted at the general cleo
tion in December with the full knowledge
that when the lords, the great obstacle to
the achievement of Liberal legislation,
were cleared away. the first task OF the
government would be to carry out a poll
cy of self-government of Ireland
Mr.. Asquth maintained that the only
satisfactory solution of the problem of
10 In, hn
of Commons vas the creation of an Irish
Parliament with an Irish executive re-
sponsiblc thereto, for dealing with purely
Irish affairs. while maintaining the su-
premacy of the British Parliament unim-
paired.
John Redmond on behalf of the Ma
tionalists welcomed the premier'S dec
laration and added that he honestly be-
lieved that home rule as defined by Mr..
Asquith would be the final settlement of
this question and, SO far as they could.
the Nationalists pledged their country
| men to that effect.
Winston Spencer Churchill, the home
secretary. said that If they could
reconcile the Irish and English people
and rally the Irish nation around the
monarchy, it would gain all advantage
equally to many divisions of the fleet
and army. Moreover, he added, there
would be not one of the self-governing
colonies whose relations with the
Mother country would not be rendered
more intimate and more cordial.
| William O'Brien did not doubt that
home rule ultimately would come. He
doubted the possibility of carrying the
measure in the present Parliament,
however but promised the premier the
hearty cooperation of his party.
Augustine Brill, chief secretary for
Ireland. in summing up the debate said
that Ireland alone could deal adequate
ly with her own affairs. They could
not do justice to ireland on the floor
of this House." said the secretary. He
promised that the governments home
,rule scheme would be placed before
the House as soon as the Parliament
bill had passed. Mr.. MOlc0lms
amendment was defeated, 326 to 213
