RYE AS A GOOD
WISCONSIN CROP
BY 3. D. LEiTH,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
Rye will give fair crop on soils
where other grains would be failure.
It viii give far greater returns on fer
tile soils, however, but because rye
will survive where other crops fail.
it has become the crop associated with
the poorer, lighter soils.
Extreme hardness is the strong fea-
ture of rye. 1t will mature in the
cold climate in Alaska, and the hot
weather of southern climates does
not seem to injure it. Owing to the
extreme rightly of the straw, rye will
not lodge very easily. Diseases and
insects seldom trouble it on account
Of It's earliness.
On poor soils, where plant food IS
scarce, rye, when planted in fall, will
use plant foods which would other
wise be bleached out by fall and spring
rains If the rye is plowed under
about ten days before corn planting
time, the plant food will be returned
to the soil and an ideal bed furnished
for corn. Such a field must be rolled
rowed we'll. The roots OF the rye
which have been plowed under tend to
bind the soil particles together in
sandy soil and to loosen up a clay
soil. Fall rye will prevent blowing
upon sandy soils. This is best accom-
plished by sowing in strips across the
path of the prevailing winds.

be done with caution II the rye has
very rank growth in fall. it must

In many respects rye is the best
nurse crop for clover. 1t is cut so
early that clover gets a chance on the
poorer soils. It might be well to state
that clover does best, In some cases,

are so poor that clover will not catch

able between the time of heading and
the beginning OF the formation OF the
grain. This period is rather short,
only ten or twelve days.
Rye is by far the best cereal crop
for the large area of sandy soil in this

the farmer. 1t will give him some re-

RE0RGANlZE IS THE SLOGAN

Chicago, May 12.-The first steps
toward reuniting the Republican party
were taken at conference OF
United States senators and other
prominent party leaders here this
morning. The conference decided to
call upon the Republican national
committee at it's meeting May "a, at
Washington, to issue a call for a ma
tional convention this year, to reor-
ganize the party, 'along progressive
Ines
Senator Cummins of Iowa, Senator
BOrah OF Idaho, and former Governor
Hadley of Missouri, together with
other leaders, agreed that the pro-
posed conventions shall change the
basis of representation in future con-
ventions, and make other radical
changes SO that the party shall stand
for constructive and progressive ac-
tivities in the affairs of government"
When the conference was adjourned
after being in session two days, a
statement was given out in part, as
follows:
ut was voted that it be submitted
to the national republican committee
as the opinion of those present, that
the national convention OF the party
should be held this year as early as
possible, to consider the eXpediency
of changing the basis of representa-
ton in future conventions, so that
delegates shall proportionately repre-
sent Republican voters, and not the
general public, to the end that the
will of members of the party may be
more accurately determined, also ior
the purpose of changing rules relating
to members and delegates of the con-

have full force. 1t was the further
opinion that the convention might
take any other action desirable to re-
unite the party
Senator Borah said. that while at
first he had been somewhat skeptical
about the benefits to be derived from
a national convention this year, he
finally concluded to join with the
unanimous belief that such a conven-
ton should be held.

The first State convention of the
Farmers Society of Equity will be
held in Pocatello the 10th of this
month for the purpose of effecting 6
state organization. There will b<
about 12O delegates at the conven
tion chosen from the locals and coun
ty units of Cassia, Bingham, Bonne
vile, Fremont, Bannock and Frank
lin counties, all of which are fully or.
ganized.
The F. S. E. is a national organiza.
ton with head quarters at Indianapo.
lis, Indiana, with ]. A. Everett as pre-
sident, who may be in attendance at
the convention. The organization has
for its object the profitable market
when successfully carried out, will be
profitable alike to the farmer and
consumer in bringing the producer and
consumer together, that the exhorbi-
tant commission now charged for
handling the farmers crops to the
man in the city and the wage Garner,
by the present method of distribution
may be eliminated.
1t may not be generally known that
it cost this nation $7,OO0,OOO,OOO to
market a $4,000, ,OOO, 900 crop in 1912.
Statistics of the Bureau of Agricul
ture show that of every dollar paid
for the products of the farms of our
nation, the farmer gets AZ cents, the
railroads get &c, and the commission
system of distributors get 54 cents.
The cry from the cities is for the
farmers to produce more crops that
prices OF produce may be lower to
those who are compelled to buy of
f1rmArS' fo
could sell direct to the cities prices
could be reduced materially to the
consumer with material increase in
price to the farmer, and under the
plan of the F. S. E. the products of
the farm will cut no material figure
in the cost of high living.
Under the present system of dis
tribution neither the producer nor the
consumer has anything to say as to
what prices shall be to either, as that
Is entirely in control of the distribu-
tors. In equity, every farmers district
will have local organization, and
every county will be organized into
county unit, and every state a state
unit, for the successful marketing of
the products of the farm. Likewise
the consumers will organize locals, ap
point their officers, arrange for Their
warehouses and local distributors of
their own choosing that the farmers
through their locals and county organ
ization can ship direct to the con-
sumers' warehouses as directed by the
national, state or county secretaries,
to whom the wants of the consumer
shall be manifested from time to time.
With the full cooperation of farm
ers and consumers of our nation the

Senator borah of Idaho, is op-

this question yesterday was the be-

had asserted it would be useless to at

might be held at this time would be
controlled by the same men who domi-
