The following instructive syllabus
inspired by the success OF cropping
system in Vermont was prepared for
dairymen by L. c.. Dodge:
The successful cropping system in
Vermont usually comprises: Putting
all available tillage land fit for corn
growing into a short rotation with
one-fourth or one third in corn for
silage and grain, an equal proportion
in small grains for hay or grain; the
remainder mot more than ~ in Glow
er or clover mixed hay. Care of per
manent hay land by frequent light
top dressing with barnyard manure;
addition Of small amounts of clover
seed to the sod; occasional replowing
and reseeding when possible, prefer
able i'm midsummer without loss of a
hay crop. Care of permanent pasture
by occasional top dressing with ma
nure or chemicals: avoiding of over
grazing and too early grazing in
spring. The use of all barnyard ma
nnre in small amounts (not 10 exceed
10 or II spreader Ioads) to the acre,
which makes possible the use by the
crop of a greater per cent. of the ma
nure value. and reducing the per cent
of loss: the manuring of a much
larger proportion of the farm each
year; the use of a shorter rotation
and thereby supplementing the ma
nure with new clover sod on which Ia
grow corn crops.

CAUSES FOR DEFEAT
Various Reasons Given Re-

Attributes It to Whisky Trust and
White Slavers.
MRS. MUSsEY's VIEWS DIFFER
Believes Legislature Placed Respon-

Amendment Would Be Defeated.
OPINIONS OF MRS. HENDLEY
MRS. MUSSEY'S VIEWS DIFFER

There is no doubt. in my opinion but
that the whisky trust and the promoters
of white slave traffic were responsible for
the defeat of the woman suffrage amend
ment to the state constitution in Ohio
yesterday
Such was the statement made today by
Mrs. Anna Hendley. treasurer OF the Dis
trict of Columbia Woman Suffrage As
sociation and organizer of the Anthony
League, in regard to the failure of the
suffrage amendment to the Ohio consti-
tuition to receive the necessary number
of votes TO make it law.
L was greatly surprised this morning
when | learned the amendment had been
defea ted said Mrs. Hendley, for / felt
sure it would be adopted. j know that
the best people of Ohio have been work
ing day and night for its adoption, and
can only attribute its defeat to the whis-
KY interests and white slave promoters.
HAD the amendment become a law 1t
would have meant a serious blow to
these interests. and realizing this. they
did everything in their power no doubt,
to bring about the defeat of the measure.
l realized the whisky trust and white
slave interests were working against the
amendment but felt, nevertheless, that
It would be passed. All of the reports
from Ohio indicated that the best peo-
pie Were in favor of the clause. The bad
element, which has been fighting woman
suffrage everywhere. no doubt was re-
sponsible for the defeat"
Mrs. Mussey Holds Different View.
An entirely different view of the cause
for the defeat of the amendment is taken
by Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey. one Of the
foremost suffra sists of the District Mrs.
MuSsey believes the defeat of the meas
ure was due to the fact that the people at
large throughout the state We're not yet
sufficiently educated on the suffrage ques-
ton
''Ohio is my native state" said Mrs
Mussey, land / have followed the suf-
frage fight there quite closely for some
time. | realized that when the legisla-
ture refused to act on the suffrage ques-
ton and declared an amendment to the
state constitution would be necessary be-
fore the women could have the right to
vote, the woman suffrage leaders of Ohio
had a big fight on their hands.
The legislature felt that the measure
would be defeated by the vote of the
people. The legislators knew that many
conservative people who have not yet
been educated up to the suffrage ques-
ton would vote against it. The legis-
lature wanted the measure defeated, but
did not want to take the responsibility
of doing so. Accordingly. they declared
it was up to the people
''rhe defeat of the amendment. how
ever. does not end the fight in Ohio. 1t
is merely the beginning of the fight
Ten years from now will find woman suf-
frage in Ohio and in every other state
