TOLERTON A JOBLESS MAN.
Major Insists Jesse has Never Been
Entitled to Hold Office,

Jefferson City, NO., May 9.-Anoth-
l,er tangle has come in Jesse A. Toler-
fton's incumbency of the office of
State Game and Fish Commissioner.
Attorney General Major, in the
mandamus suit instituted in the Su-
preme Court by Tolerton against
State Auditor Gordon to compel the
latter to pay his salary, will plead that
Tolerton is not, and never has been,
Commissioner. The Attorney General
made this charge in the reply he filed
last Saturday, but he did not disclose
his real purpose then.
To-day the Attorney General said
his charge is based upon the fact that
the State game and fish laws of 1909
did not 60 into effect until August 16,
1909, whereas Tolerton was appoint
ed by Governor Hadley and commits
stoned July q, 1909.
1t will require a ruling of the Su-
preme Court to straighten out the
many complications connected with
the office. If Majors new point is
held valid, it will mean that Tolerton
has been de facto officer all along
and it would be up to the Governor
to reappoint and recommission him at
once. But this is only a part of the
intricate web that politics and legisla-
ton have woven about this office.
The Legislature last spring tried to
Gust Tolerton, and the lawmakers,
when they adjourned last March,
thought they had accomplished this.
The Governor has repeatedly said he
will not remove Tolerton, and now
the double question CONES before the
Supreme Court as to whether Toler-
ton has ever been Commissioner, and
if so, did the Legislature succeed in
busting him by an amendment it at
fached to the general contingency ap-
preparation bill providing that no
part of the salary appropriated for
support of the department could be
1rawn by Tolerton after the going
nto effect of the act. The amend
nent names TOlerton, SO even if he
lcted in the capacity Of de facto Off
'er only, the rider, should the court
lold it to be valid, would apply to
lin.

The first thing to do is to fill the land
with humus, by blowing under legumi-
nous crops, such as, clover peas. etc
Then apply from one to two tons OF
lime per acre.
A Case In Point.
Here is how a field of FIVE acres
was seeded last August: In 1908 the
land was in timothy, herds grass,
sapling clover and alfalfa. Alfalfa was
about one-fourth of the stand of hay
II grew nicely with the other grasses.
In the fall of 1908. the field was plow-
ed and one and one-half tons of limo
applied to the acre. and after an APP
plication of 500 pounds of raw bone
to the acre was planted in corn in
the spring of 1909.
In August, crimson clover was seed
ed in the corn, and this was turned
under in May and June of 1910. The
land was kept disked through July,
thus killing the weed seed which was
a great help to the young plants. On
August 10. seeded twenty-five pounds
OF alfalfa and fifteen pounds of red
clover to the acre. using 500 pounds of
raw bone also to the acre, The stand
was very good and grew off nicely. 1t

This spring, 1911, as dry II has
been, l cut three tons per acre. the
first cutting. The second crop. at this
writing, is about twelve inches high.
Success depends upon the use OF
lime to correct the acidity of the soil,

and the incubation of the soil. either
by soil that alfalfa has grown in or
growing 1t with other grasses. There
is no such thing as a failure If the
above suggestions are carried out.
In my opinion there is nothing that
will bring more happiness. thrift and

OF more grass and especially alfalfa.
