Our Navy Appropriation.

The United States is spend
ing almost $3.50, 100000 year on
her navy. This amounts to $780,
900 per day, or$2, ,777lper minute.
1t IS about ten times as much as
all of the states spend on their
educational institutions. Not
withstanding this heavy expendi-
ture, we are told that large addi-
tional expenditures are neces-
sary to keep the navy in fighting
condition. Those who favor the
arge expenditure for a navy do
so on the theory that d navy
which is ready TO fight at the
drop of hat will keep us out of
trouble: that we are less likely
to have to fight if we are ready.
Nations are composed of indi-
vlduals, and while people in
collective capacity sometimes
act differently than they do as
individuals, in general the same
motives and policies govern with
the one as with the other. We
are not altogether sure that the
man who is primed and cooked
for fight is the man who keeps
out Of it. Our observation is
that the fellow who is ready for
a fight is in trouble oftener than
the man who is not ready to fight
and consequently is not all the
time thinking about fighting.
TheUnited States needs a navy
for police duty and of sufficient
strength to protect the interests
OF its citizens in foreign countries
occasionally; but we are not yet
ready to believe that we need
anything like our militant friends
want We ,beiieve there would
be less chance for war il we
should cut down our navy to a.
smaller number of really efficient
ships and devote at least half of
the money which we have been
expending on the navy in educa-
ton and extending our acquaint-
ance with foreign people Wal

Deep Flowing Vindicated.

There is probably not farm
er in all the drouth- stricken re
gion who does not wish he had
plowed more deeply, if he under
stands the effect of deep plowing
in conserving the moisture of the
soil. Whether broken by deep
blowing machinery to Il depth of
Is to 2Oinches. or shattered by
dynamite even farther down than
that, the breaking up of the hard
pan permits the SHOWS and rains
to sink deeper into the ground
and Saturatc it with moisture
This constitutes a reservoir from
which the growing crops may
draw when the surface supply of
rain is deficient, as 1t is this
year
All that is needed is that it be
conserved by preventing eyapor
alton, which is done by frequent
shallow cultivation making a dust
mulch for the surface. This, of
conrse, is even more necessary
with shallow plowing than with
deep, because there is less mois-
ture in the ground and conse-
uuently more need to conserve
it. The farmer who can not re-
alize the value of deep piowing
for moisture in such d season as
this is not using his powers of
observation and deduction.
And all this is aside from and
in addition to that other import
ant benefit derived from deep
plowing, the rendering available
of the plant food in the lower
stratum, and the opportunity
given to trees and deep roofing
plants to go downward after both
this food and moisture, instead
of being confined to the shallow
top soil. Deep blowing would

73 Bushels vs.. q Bushels.

On the Iron Mountain Railroad
demonstration farm at Hope.
Ark, oat land plowed four inch
es deep yielded but % bushels
to the acre, while the same land
piowed ten inches deep and fer
tilted yielded a bushels to the
acre. This increase results from
the fact that the deep blowing
afforded a better reservoir for
soil water, and dry weather did
not delay the growth. In the
deeper plowing a larger supply
of moisture came in contact with
more soil PARTICLES and dissolved
more plant food. There was al
so more space for root develop
ment, and the larger root devel-
Opement was enabled to secure
moisture and more plant food.

which, it is estimated, will cost

The casting was ordered by
telephone by State Senator E.
Sundberg, of Kennedy. He
wanted it in hurry for his
threshing machine. When it ar.
rived the express charges made
him mad clear through, and he
swore. he said, that he would
have revenge.
Senator Sundberg engaged
James Manahan, now Congress
man at large from Minnesota, to
bring action before the Inter.
state Commerce Commission.
The case Was begun in Minneap-
oils and in the following year
was carried to New York.
Two days before the case was
called the Minnesota statesman
and his counsel went to New
York and got Commissioner
Lane. now d Cabinet officer, to
issue subpoenas for the officials
of the United States, American,
Wells Fargo and Adams Express
Companies. They personally
served the subpoenas and when
the case came up the attorney
argued that the express compa-
nies had interlocking directora-
tes and that their rates were un-
reasonable.
The commissions decision re-
ducing the rates was filed July
IL, 1912, but litigation brought
on by the companies prevented
the order just issued from being
fled for more than a year.
Senator Sundberg says he is
satisfied, and that his revenge is
sweet.

Our Democratic friends are al
ready beginning to stir up tie
political boiiin' in this congress
sional district for the campaign a
year hence. Former Congress-
man Edward Robb, it is said, pro-
poses to enter into the game
again and give Congressman
Hensley trouble in the primary
election. And down in Reynolds
County there is a favorite son in
State Senator Buford who is be-
ing pushed into the limelight to
exhibit his congressional stature.
All this is, of course, interesting
to the Democrats mostly and we
mention it to show that with d
taste of power the appetltes of
our Democratic friends for fat
Offices are not diminishing.
About this time next year, if the
signs speak true. the people will
be shaving up a big club with
which to whack the Democratic
party in November, 1914, for
failing to carry out the promises
made in 1912. That party prom.
ised too much, either through
a deliberate effort to mislead the
people or mistaken idea of it's
own capability to make good on
those promises. The party
must, within a year, show that
it has produced a general lower
cost of living without a CORE
spending disturbance in the in
dustrial conditions, or convict
itself of incompetency and lying.
And this will have its bearing in
the congressional election so far
as to make it a question wheth-
er any Democrat can be elected
to Congress from this district
next year.

The Concrete Silo.

1t has been made part of the
Dairy Department of the Mis-
sourlCollege of Agriculture to as
sist the farmers of this state in
constructing silos. The College
has no interest in any particular
kind of silo but tries to give un-
prejudiced information concern
ing all kinds that are adapted to
the state. The College is inter
ested only in having large num-
Der of good silos built regardless
of what kind they may be.
Since there are no dealers in
concrete silos or agents distrib-
uting information in regard to
them the farmers of the state
have to rely largely upon the
College of Agriculture for infor-
nation about building this type
of silo. The assistance offered
by the college is in the nature
of supplying plans for forms,
giving estimates for materials,
and AS far DIS possible sending a
man to assist in starting the
construction of the silo The
Department OF Dairy Husbandry
has been led to give special at
tention to supplying information
concerning the concrete silo on
account of the misrepresentation
this type of silo has received at
the hands of agents for other
kinds.
Every silo which has been
built according to the plans sup
piled by this department has
been successful. Contrary to
reports circulated by certain ST.
10 agents not a single concrete
silo built under College super
vision has cracked. Among doz-
ems of concrete silos that have
been built in this state only
four have cracked and this re-
suited from insufficient rein
forcement. These silos were re
paired by putting hoops on the
outside and filling the cracks
with cement and are used to day
with success. If d concrete silo
is properly reinforced there is
absolutely no danger of its
cracking.
The farmers are also informed
that silage will not keep in con
crete silos, Which statement has
no foundation. Reports from
over forty farmers using con
crete sllos in Missouri state that
their silage keeps perfectly One
concrete silo on a farm near
Colulnb bia has been used tive years
and the owner says that not a
bushel of silage has spoiled in
! that length Of time. The College
of Agriculture has been entirely
una BILE to locate a concrete silo
where the silage has not kept
when it was put into it in the
proper condition
