WILSON SMOKED ONLY ONCE
Admits 1t Hit Him With Disastrous
Effects and That He Never
Tried 1t Again.

Trenton. N. 1.-THE arrival of g.
gold-mounted, amber-stemmed meer-
schaum pipe at the ~statehouse from
one of Wilson's Princeton friends
in Vicksburg, Miss, brought from the
pr~esident-elect the confession that
once in his life, and only once, did he
smoke.
1T was this way" he said. my ia
Their was a smoker Of some attain
ments, and had got to the stage where
he liked a fat, black cigar. In his
leisure hours, my mother took adj
vantage of his habit and employed him
to blow the pungent smoke owe her
rosebushes to kill insects.
"One day when he was not at home,
she suggested that l try it on one OF
her favorite plants, and obliged,
somewhat proudly. For five minutes
I steamed away like a furnace, and
then it hit me with disastrous effects;
I never tried 1t after that"

if the purchase of autos in the state
continues for another year at the
same rate as for the past year, will

1t is proposed to divide this fund so
that a portion will go back to the
counties in which it is paid, and the
rest to be used as a general state fund,
AS a supplement to this bill, Sena-
tor Brooks introduced a bill appropri-
ating $500 annually by the state to
pay It's share of expenses of road
construction along and across state
lands. AS state property cannot be
taxed for road or any other purposes,
when road construction is carried on
in vicinities in which the state is a
land owner. the adjoining property
not only need bear its own share OF
the expense of such construction work,
but also the share which should apply
70 the state in case such land were in
the hands of private wners. This
appropriation is intended in part at
least to remedy this condition, and al
low the state to pay its share Of such
construction, or a part of it.

EXTRA SESSION PLAN
DEMOCRATS GETTING READY TO
MAKE RECOMMENDED
TONS.
WORK ON TARIFF BILLS,
Liberation Of Philippines and Curren-
cy Question May Be Acted
On-Appointment Fight
to Break.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Although the
scope of the legislation to be taken
up at the approaching extra session
OF congress has not yet been out
lined, congressional committees are
rapidly pushing their preliminary
work to a point where recommends
tons can be made to ~President-elect
Wilson and plans laid before him for
the early work of his administra-
ton.
Ready for Work.
Work on tariff bills will soon be
started. The hearings will be con
Guided this week.
The money trust end of the house
banking and currency committee is
already working on a report, while
the currency branch of the same
committee will push its investigation
this week into other branches of the
currency question, in the effort to Sc
cure comprehensive suggestions for
currency reform.
Senate and house leaders do not
, yet know what legislation, if any, in
addition to the work of tariff revision
Will be taken up at the extra session.
Some Problems.
Several of those who have talked
with Pr~esident-elect Wilson express
the confident belief that the currency
question and the question of liberat-
ing the Philippines will be included
in the new presidents scheme Of ac-
ton for his first congressional seS
sion.
1t is the general opinion in Demo
cratic circles in Washington that Mr..
Wilson will at least not "foreclose"
congress against acting on everything
but the tariff in the special session.
A majority of the Democrats in the
senate expect little legislation other
than the tariff to be taken up, but
they believe President Wilson, in call.
ing the special session, will not
specifically limit its work.
Would Postpone Currency Action.
An effort is under way by some
Democratic senators to postpone ac-
ton on the currency bill until the
next regular session and it is expect.
ed that a movement will be promoted
W SeCuio dH tAtcHSloi " nc plCotiis
Northumberland emergency currency
law for at least a ear, SO that an
emergency measure will still be at
hand in case of industrial or tinan-
cial disturbances. Under this plan
no attempt would be made to legis-
late on currency questions until next
winter.
The full extent of the fight between
the Republican and Democratic fac
ton in the senate cver President
Taft's appointments is expected to
develop this week. A Republican
ably will be held early in the week
and the majority of Republicans now
insist there will be no concessions
to the Democrats, but that the de-
mand will again be made for confir-
nation Of all Of the appointments now
before the senate. The house will
devote it's time this week to the con
sideration of appropriation bills and
by the end of the week it is expected
several big supply measures will be
ready for the consideration of the
senate.

THEY WASTE FERTILIZERS.
State College Professor Says Ameri'
can Farmers Waste Millions.

Brookings.-American farmers vast
ed as much available fertilizer in 1912
as the total value Of the entire wheat
crop-upwards of seven hundred mil
lion dollars. In making the foregoing
statement, Prof. J. G. Hutton of the
state college referred to the power
of manure to enrich and restore he
r producing qualities of the soil.
Explaining further, Prof. Hutton
says: THE amount of ~preventable
waste on the American farm is as
founding. 1t has been carefully esti-
mated that the value of the farm ma
nure which is allowed to go to waste
is seven hundred million dollars an
nually. The wheat crop for 1872 has
been estimated at $780, 900, 900 bushels.
1t is seen from these figures that the
value of the manur going to waste
on the farms of the United States is
worth as much as the total wheat crop
of the country. OF course, it is not
easy work to haul out the manure, but
it is a paying proposition nevertheless.
Fertilizer companies would have us
DtlleNc ludt oil VI liz clCLlChlo VI
plant food which must be applied to
the soil should be bought in the form
of commercial fertilizers. This is q
good proposition for the fertilizer man
ufacturer, but a mighty poor n for
the farmer.
Some farmers have said, Yes, we
have a lot of manure lying around
here, but the land will not stand it.
Now, we may just as we'll get it clear
ly in our minds that unless the ma
nure can be returned to the land, or
green crops plowed under, 1t
will only be a short time until we
must go out of the farming business.
"Ten tons of n to the acre
does not make a very thick layer,
but when this is applied evenly be-
fore blowing and thoroughly disked in
to the soil, there is no doubt that it
will repay many times the cost of put
ting it on the land. On one farm in
South Dakota, it was found that ten
loads of manure to the acre increased
the wheat yield ten bushels to the
acre. 1t is also known that an appli-
cation of manure makes itself felt
not only the first year after it's appli.
cation, but for many years thereafter
it's effects may be noticed in the in
creased Yields"
