authority on the subject before

NO CROP REDUCTION.
The new agriculture of the
South contemp1ates a severe re-
duction Of the cotton acreage,
but not a reduction Of the crop.
A restoration of the depleted
huinus is necessary, not only
for the enrichment of our soils,
but is equally necessary in
rendering the crops comparative
ly immune to the effects Of a
deficient or an excessive rainfall.
This restorative process requires
the frequent seeding Of the land
to crops which leave a large
quantity of vegetable matter to
be plowcd under. One of the
most practicable crops for this
purpose is corn, our Southern
practice being to plant peas in
the middlcs and turn under the
peavines and corn stalks after
the ears I gathered. A few
years ago e. McIver William
son OF my own county discov-
cred q cultural method for more
than doubling the yields Of corn
and since then most Of the
farmers in eastern South Caro-
lima have been able to abandon
their former practice of import
inc from the West the bulk of
their supply of this grain. A
notable impetus to the produc.
ton OF this crop has also result
ed from the worlds record
yields of 255 bushels on one acre
made by Capt. Drake Of Mari
boro county and Of 228 bushels
on one acre made by Jerry
Moore, the illustrious boy farm
er OF Florence county. Both of
these phenomenal yields were
made in eastern South Carolina
in which the author resides
Though it does not bear on our
subject, [ may be excused for
mentioning that in this same
section within Il radius Of 100
miles have been made lany
other wonderful agricultural
records, such as four bales of
cotton per acre; 1872 bushels of
oats per acre and 800 bushels of
Irish potatoes on one acre.
Oats, followed by peas the
same year, is also a humus-
making crop, and the Florida|
velvet bean and the soy bean
are very valuable for hay and
grazing, besides being wonder
fui soil improvers.
The most effective method of
soil improvement, however, is
lound IN tho employment of
cover crops which are sown be-
tween the rows of the cultivated
crops in the early fall. These
cover crops take up the unused
residue of the fertilizer applied
to the preceding crop and also
use whatever plant food be-
comes available during the win
ter. They keep the land from
washing and supply. when
plowed under in the spring, val
liable fertilizer material and
humus to the succeeding crop.
The clovers and vetches are
most generally employed as
cover crops, but the most yalu-
able plant for this purpose which
| have tested is a new variety
of ryelecently imported by the
COVE. nment from the province
of Abruzzi in Italy which makes
a larger growth during the win
ter than any other cover crop [
am familiar with.

and the envy Of others many times
older. The rural reader sees In the
paper what the districts money has
gone for, and sees 1t when he has
time to study 1t all over and COM
ment thoughtfully thereupon. II he
sees expenses that are not legitimate,
his remedy is at hand. Through the
press the school election Is no long
er a matter for a little ring or
clique to manipulate to the advant-
age of a few pets or local grafters.
And no one kicks at the change
but the aforementioned pets and
grafters
Beyond this the editor Is often an
observer and philosopher of prac-
teal turn, and it is not rare to see
schemes Of improvement set on foot
among the schools as the result of
his conference and suggestions to
wise teachers. There is never a
movement of the kind that the paper
man is not ready to herald to the
world for all 1t is worth. A thous-
and little things they do that time
and space forbid mentioning, but one
will suffice, that of publisher who
furnished proof copies Of his paper
to students of composition class
that they might have real exercises
to be corrected. Any pay in that?
Not money in hand, but the spirit
manifested endears the press to the
pupils; cements their common inter-
ests; promotes harmony in the CON-
munity; and quickens the apprecia-
ton of each for all.
There is never a forward step by
teachers and school officials but the
press is there, holding aloft the ban
ner of progress, encouraging and sus-
tanning those who have taken that
step.
"The liberality Of our state legis-
latures, in educational matters, the
apparently high levies in school
districts, the ever increasing wages
paid competent teachers, and the re-
sulting high tide in all Idaho school
interests are due, in their major part,
to the consistent, insistent, and per-
sistent demands Of the wide-awake
press of Idaho.
"The consciousness Of duty well
done is it's chief reward. No mer-
chant paying his monthly stipend
for advertising gets one-tenth the
mention of himself and his business
as do the teachers and their schools,
whose yearly patronage brings to
the printer less revenue than the mer-
chants single month.
Harmony Is the chief strength of
aggregate bodies. When Idaho faces
her future with all her citizens unit
ed, each recognizing the place and
worth of the other, from his excel
lency, the governor, to the humblest
citizen of the most remote commun-
ity, an individual often offering to
the state but little except his good
will and poll tax, then, and not un-
til then, will all of us recognize that
the mightiest factors in bringing
about such a millennium are those
two that have heretofore worked to-
gether so valiantly, continuously and
tremendously, each appreciative OF
the other, the press and the schools. "

GLASS WILL ASSIGN
MEMBERS MONDAY
Chairman Of Banking and Cur
rency Hopes to Have Bill
Ready Before First Of July.

Congressman Carter Glass, the new
chairman Of the House Banking and
Currency Committee, moved in to-
day. Somewhere among the personal
effects Mr. Glass brought over from the
office building to the Capitol was the
Glass currency bill, which some day Will
be presented to the House.
TN what shape is the currency re-
form bill?" the bustling chairman was
asked as he packed away batch OF
correspondence and frank envelopes.
(which bill?" asked Glass, with quiz
xical smile The questioned doubtless
referred to the fact that there are now
several currency bills in course Of prep
aration-either at the White House, the
Senate, or the House.
Mr.. Glass said he would call q meet
ing of his committee Monday. At that
time the members will be given their
various subcommittee assignments and
there will be a preliminary discussion
of monetary legislation. Chairman
Glass said he hoped to have his bill
ready for introduction before the end
of June.
1t is generally understood at the
Capitol that, while Mr.. Glass has
worked out his currency reform ideas
and put them in the shape of bill, the
measure will not be introduced until 1t
has the White House o. K. Ultimately
there will be a grand roundup Of
ideas and the House measure will be
an Administration measure.
The President already has seen
rough draft of Mr.. Glass bill, and
when it is introduced 1t is expected to
represent the combined Views Of the
Secretary McAdoo. Senator
Owen, Congressman Glass, and other
Senate, House, and Administration
leaders.
