The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1911-04-26

In a recent speech to the agricul
tural students at Ames Prof j. G.
Lipman of the New Jersey Expert
ment Station made the statement that
fertilizers are relied upon too much
and that they often form an excuse
for poor farming.
1t is often not a lack Of chemical
elements alone that makes a soil un
productive. Quality in plant food is
more important than quantity. BAG
terra in the soil are the machinery
that make plant food availa ble-tha'
improve the quality. The principal
aim Of the farmer should be to pro
vide the best of conditions for these
bacteria to work.
There is only very limited area OF
soil in this country that needs an
actual addition of plant food. 1t is
q pity to hear western farmers say
that their soil is wearing out. Prop
erly treated, these western soils need
never wear out
matter in the form Of humus if the
soil bacteria are to thrive. The farmer
must make arrangements to put back
vegetable matter into the soil as the
supply becomes exhausted. Flowing
under a green crop once in while
adds to the vegetable matter-pro-
vides a home for the bacteria. 1t is

CORN TESTERS EXPERIMENTS.

The following are some Of the con-
clusions that were reached in an en-
pertinent with seed corn testers iust
conducted at the Iowa Experiment..
Station:
l. A tester can be made by any
farmer at very little expense and in
a few moments time, which will be
as accurate and as convenient as any
which can be purchased 1t can be 80
constructed that it can be used either
as water method" or as a "blotter
method" tester
=. Certain testers present much
more uniform conditions for germina-
ton than others.
3. Seven or eight times as many
ears tested strong in testers present
ing favorable and uniform conditions
for termination as were indicated
when these same ears were tested bv
the so-called hard" methods.
1 The larger number of ears saved
by the favorable" testers yielded an.
IproNimately as much-in cases more
than the comparatively few ears Sc
| lected by the so-called hard" testers
or the nearest field conditions" test
ers.
| .. The water method did not
show the advantages ascribed to it.
| Testers using the water method" did
not select higher yielding ears, or
ears giving a greater percentage of
stand than those using the "blotter
method"
+. The comparative vitality OF in
dividual ears is best determined by
nSidering the size and growth OF
the shoot. the development of the
sprout. and the development of the
permanent roots. The considerations
OF any enc of these characteristics

markedly superior seed ears

PROFITS ON A RENTED FARM.
$944 Year Profit from an Iowa
Eighty.

The following figures are condensed
from farmers ledger showing the
profits for one year on an eighty acre
rented farm. The figures include all
the products and live stock sold from
the first of January to the last Of De-
cember The stock on the place at
the beginning of the year are not deb
tied against this year. The stock re-
naming on the farm at the end CT
the year are not credited to the years
profit. 1t is considered that these two
items will just about balance each
other. II there is any difference it is
In favor of the year for which the
figures are given.
The land is very productive gently
rolling piece, being in an excellent
state Of cultivation. The year in
which these figures are recorded was
the second of its rental During the
summer months after the pasture be-
came short the milk COWS were pas
tured in a neighbours field at a month
ly rental per head.
The milk was skinned on the farm
and butter churned from the cream.
Regular customers in nearby town
bought the butter at a good price.
The skim milk was fed warm to the
calves and pigs. The latter were
weaned at the age OF eight weeks
and their mothers fattened and sold
as soon as possible.
A c;y MI Of ncoE
as calf and hog pasture. An old
hog pasture that had not peen farmed
for a number Of years was plowed up
and planted to potatoes
1t was found necessary to buy five
hundred bushels of corn and some
chicken feed Outside Of this all the
feed used on the farm was produced
there. A small orchard and truck
patch provided apples, vegetables.
and small fruit for summer use and
for canning for winter.
All the labor was accomplished by
team of draft mares and three
year-old draft colt. A driving bred
colt was used when four horses were
needed. The renter did the work
himself except in hay;mg. harvesting
and when filling the silo. At these
times work was exchanged with a
neighbor.
Ten sows produced seventy pigs.
Eight milk COWS produced seven
calves that lived and an average Of
two hundred and eight pounds of but
ter fat per head. Eighty hens wer"
kept, two hundred chickens raised and
sixty dozen eggs sold besides those
used on the farm.

MFNDMENT
SURE TO FAIL
Poll OF Senate Shows Ma
jority Against Rost.

Washington, June Il. The Root
amendment multiplying the paper clause
of the Canadian reciprocity agreement
will be eliminated from the measure
as perfected by the senate finance
committee. This Is indicated by a
careful poll of the senate. A safe ma
jority against the amendment Is fore
Swallowed by the result.
OF fifty three senators expressing
positive convictions two-thirdS oppose
and one-thirfN favor the Root amend
ment, These senators represent all
The factions Of both parties. If the
Eame ratio of sentiment prevails
among the thirty-elght not annOunc-
Ing their preferences there would be
twenty-five of this unknown strength
against the amendment and thirteen
for it.
The carrying out of this computation
would give tfty-eight senators against
the amendment and thirty-three for It.
This would meal d majority Of TWEEN
ty-fve for striking out the provision.
The same proportion of absentees is
recorded on almost every senate roll
call. These will be paired with those
present. 1t is unlikely hat more than
sixty senators will vote on the final
roll call. 1t is thus indicated that
twenty would be for the Root amend
ment and forty against it.
The poll taken shows there is no
partisan lineup, but those expressing
their views have divided without ref
erence to their affiliations. 1t is shown
that Gronna and La Toilette, progress
siye Republicans, will support the
Root amendment. while Cummins and
Works, also progressive Republicans,
Will oppose 1t. Otherwise the progress
sives appear noncommittal. They will
probably confer on the subject, seek
ing to arrange for united action.
The Democrats will take the ques-
ton up at a caucus to be held this
week. They will endeavor to arrange
for unanimous support for or opposi-
ton to the Root amendment. 1t is i'm
probable they can reach any agree
ment to that effect. Each Democrat
will doubtless be left to act according
70 his conscience. A large proportion
of them Will vote against the amend
ment.

MANY WOULD
SERVE STATE
Candidates Already Busy
for Appointments.

Trenton, n. j., June Zone of the
most interesting themes being dis
cussed here now involves the question
of who will be appointed head of the
new state department of weights and
measures, created by the last legisla-
ture. While few names have been
publicly mentioned, there are known
to be plenty of aspirants for the place,
which will be one Of Importance and
will give to whoever Is chosen an OPP
portunity to develop a large work
what has already made much progress
In several cities and towns of New
Jersey.
There is also talk of a new secretary
for the state board of assessors, with
at least one active candidate for the
place, but a strong dis~inclinatton in
some quarters, which may control the
situation, against any change. The
present incumbent Is Irvine e. Ma
guire of Mount Holly.
Other public places in the gift of the
state which are also now coming into
active discussion despite the fact that
the time for the changes which will
surely be made is still far off are those
of Secretary of State Samuel d. Dick
inson, Supreme Court Clerk William
Riker, Jr., and State Banking and In
surance Commissioner Vivian NJ. Lew
is, all of whose terms expire next
year. The SUCCESSORS OF each of these
men will be named by Governor VIII
son In time for confirmation before the
next legislature adjourns In the early
spring OF 1912.
For secretary of state the only man
who has thus far been seriously men
toned Is Senator George S. Silzer of
Middlesex county. He has been an
active, progressive Democrat whose
Independence has never suffered from
any influence which the regular organ-
iZation sought to exert and who has
an exceptionally good record during
his two terms as q member of the up
per branch of the legislature.
For banking and insurance commits
sloner there is much talk of John ].
Clifford of Newark, organizer and pres
ident of the Woodrow Wilson league
of Essex county. He has been one of
the strongest Wilson" men in the
state since the governor was first men
toned for political honors and has
been in exceptionally close touch with
DR.. Wilson.
