DYNAMITE USED IN A STRIKE

Riotlns Of Severe Character oc-

Trenton, N. disorder of a Sc
we're character occurred in the strike
of the 1900 porcelain workers here
when a force of strikebreakers, i'm
ported by the ten plants involved in
the labor trouble, attempted to leave
their work. The imported men were
assailed on the street by crowd of
strikers, among whom were a num-
Der of women and girls. Stones and
bricks were hurled and when the two
forces met closely knives were used.
Reserve policemen we're fastened
to the scene and a dozen of the
strikers were arrested. Four men
we're taken to hospitals, suffering
from knife wounds and bruises. The
pottery workers have been on strike
for a week.
Late at night a dynamite bomb was
thrown into the cellar under the floor
of the office of the Hudson Porcelain
Works. 1t exploded and wrecked the
office, but the rest of the plant was
not damaged. The police believe
strikers are responsible for the bomb
throwing.
Increase in wages and recognition
of the union are demanded by the
strikers whose former employers, SO
far, have refused to confer with
them.

HOW WEEDS ARE REPRODUCED.

Weeds are spread by means of seeds,
by vegetable reproduction, or by both
seeds and vegetative reproduction.
Most weeds reproduce themselves by
seeds. Many weeds multiply by means
Of roots, stems. or both. In quack
grass, one means of multiplication Is
by stems commonly called roots"
which are divided into series Of
joints at which new shoots are pro-
duced. In another type, like the Can
ada thistle. morning glory, and horse
nettle, a small part Of the underground
portion Is stem, the rest being true
root. On these roots buds are pro-
duced which send up new shouts each
year.
Some plants, like wild onion. pro-
duce bulblets. In others, as crabgrass,
the stem above ground may strike
root at the nodes, or roots may be pro-
duced at the points as in purslane,
These roots and stems capable Of pro-
ducing new plants are widely scattered
in fields by means of the cultivate. and

IMPROVEMENT or POOR LANDS
Necessary Keep Up the Supply of Humus Soil and
LeguInes Much Possible in Rotation.

These plants are biennial vigorous
and rather weedy In character. The

live stock, but when old Is SO bitter
that most stock refuse to eat it.
| To return to our capitalists scheme
OF building up poor sandy soils, it is
perfectly certain that this can be done
by blowing in sufficient number OF
crops so as to add humus and nitrogen,
80 that in fact land that can be bought
for say $40 an acre can be made on
the basis Of it's productivity worth SIS
an acre.
| 1t is quite possible too that such an
enterprise would be profitable, though
complete data as to actual results are
not available. This is because there
| is better and more economical way
to accomplish identically the same re-
suits.
Briefly this is not to turn the crops
under as green manure but to feed
them and return the manure to the
soil. This utilizes the whole feeding
value Of the crop and returns large
portion OF it to the soil as we'll.
This plan requires no great outlay
and If adopted by capitalist would,
If well managed, undoubtedly yield
him handsome returns during the time
he was building up the soil.
Green manuring as farm practice
is to be recommended only when feed
ing the crop is out of the question.
Green manure presents little If any adj
vantage over barnyard manure. is In
fact probably not so good.
There is no question but that green
manure will improve the character
markedly Of any poor soil whether
sandy or gravelly or clayey. So will
barnyard manure.
In orchards where feeding the crop
is out of the question, green manuring
especially with legumes is good prac-
tice It adds nitrogen to the soil by
much the cheapest method.
Where green manuring is used to
precede another crop certain precau-

stone is much slower and more pro-
longed In it's action, consequently
larger applications are desirable. It IL
also much less destructive in burning
up the humus in the soil
There is little doubt that even on
farm where no animals except the
work horses are kept, the crop yields
can be kept up by the judicious use Of
legumes in rotations.
This can be done in the South by
rotating cotton and cowpeas for seed;
or cotton, winter oats and cowpeas: or
cotton, oats and vetch. and corn ana
cowpeas. In the north it may be done
by growing rotation of corn, wheat.
and clover for seed.
In all these rotations it is assumed
that only the grain or seed is removed
from the farm. and the remainder Of
the crop plowed under. 1t would be
idle to argue that such a system is as
good as one where livestock is included
If, however, one wishes to farm
without raising livestock. then legumes
must be used as frequently as possible
and all waste vegetable matter plowed
under. #. a .a-....
In this way the nitrogen and humus
content of the soil can be fairly we'll
maintained. Under some circum-
stances fertilizing with phosphorus and
potash may yield additional profit
This must be determined in each par
ticular case by actual trials.
The practical lesson to be derived
from all agricultural experiments and
indeed all farm experience, is to grow
legumes as much as possible in rota-
ton and to keep up the supply of
humus in the soil. On any ordinary
farm it is not difficult to do this with
out having to resort to special green
manure crops. al -, a.. 1919

While the general idea Of this man
ia q GOOD one, the problem Is not

Poor soils. whether sandy or grav-

cause they lack humus and therefore
nitrogen. The addition OF nitrogen
alone is not sufficient to make these
soils good.
Humus. that is, decayed vegetable
matter is also necessary to the sandy
or gravelly soils to Increase their ca
pacfty and to the sclayey soils to make
them loose and friable!
It is quite possible to increase
greatly the ,fertility Of poor soils by
plowing under crops especially le-
gumes to add humus and nitrogen to
the soil. Among the best crops to use
in this way are coWpeas, crimson Glow
