President Fixes the Time.
Perhaps 1t is not an exaggeration to
say that nine-tenths of the appoint

RODS only. Appointments are made
by telephone or in person by those

Canal Builders for Repeal.

Recently Col. George w. Goethals.
the chief engineer of the Panama
canal, said he was in favor of the re-
peal of the provision exempting
American coastwise vessels from the
payment of tolls. 1t is known to your
correspondent that the other great en-
gineers of the isthmus, the men who
have done the big individual pieces
of work. feel In this matter as Colonel
Cocktails does. BY the backing of the
chief engineer and the division engi-
neers. President Wilson has gained
something, for congress is likely to
give heed to the opinions of the canal
builders. The Democrats who are OPP
posed to the repeal may be glad OF
this expert advice. because they can
use 1t perhaps as an excuse for chang
ing their minds so as to agree with
the administration.
Judging from what has happened in
congress to proposals to subsidize
American ship builders, 1t seems defl-
nitely settled that the American peo-
ple as a whole are opposed to the
granting of out and out subsidies. The
exemption of American coastwise
trading ships from the payment OF
Panama canal tolls is looked on In
Washington by a good many officials
as being a disguised subsidy.
Democrats In congress who are In
sympathy with the Administrations at
tempt to secure the repeal of the act
granting free passage to American
coastwIse ships say the courage OF
the administration in this matter IL
most admirable.

He Is Not inaccessible.

Members of congress have com
planned that President Wilson is In
accessible. AS n matter of fact he
is not as inaccessible as was his
predecessor in office. Mr.. Taft wanted
to see everybody. but he had habit
of talking for three-quarters of an
the result was that many who were
outside the door. although having ap-
pointments. would be compelled to go
away without seeing the president at
all
BY splitting up his day as the presi-
dent does into five-minute, and even at
times shorter sections, President Will
son manages to see pretty nearly
everybody who wants to come to see
him. During the course OF the short
conversation the president generally
manages to find out IL the subject In
hand is of enough Importance to de-
mand more time. OF course he can
not give more than Ave minutes at the
first interview, because he has an ap-
pointment with someone else when
the five minutes are up. but he will
tell his caller to come again and he
will fix a time OF the day when the
interview can be more prolonged.
Congressman and other officials of
the government have learned one
thing since President Wilson came
into ofice-that they must be on time.
The man who is late loses his chance.
for If the president says 1913" he
means 1880 and invariably he Is
ready to meet the caller who was
told he would be welcomed at that
hour Mr.. Wilson may be charged
with brevity which is near the verge
OF discourtesy, but while he is brief
he means no discourtesy, and Repub-
licans, Democrats and Progressives
say that he manages to accomplish
great deal within a very limited
time

Farmers Letter.
BY CAPT. 7. F. PECK

Everyone who knows anything
about farming will agree that il
we grow the same crops from
year to year and take them off
the land aud return nothing, the
land will grow poorer. 1t will
also grow poorer if We grow diff.
ferent crops with the same char
acteristic roots. | have known
farmers to grow wheat one year,
followed by corn the next; then
back into wheat aud seed to grass
and imagine they were practic-
| ing a good rotation, but they
were not, because the roots OF
the wheat, corn and grass, all re-
CURED nitrogen and all Of them
were shallow rooted plants. They
took their plant food from the
surface soil and none Of them
could draw ON the nitrogen in
the air.
Now II we will study nature
we can learn some valuable les.
sons about crop rotation that will
enable us to replenish the nitro
gen in our soils from the twelve
million dollars worth Of nitrogen
in the air over eacn acre Of land,
and get some profit out of the air
as well as out Of the soil.
| Nature has provided us with
two classes of plants. One class
is shallow rooted. such as corn,
wheat, oats, barley, sorghum and
the grasses, and this class Of
plants depend on the nitrogen il
the surface soil. They can not
take it from the air and fix it in
1.-THE soil.
Nature has also provided us q
class Of deep rooted plants, such
as all the clovers, vstches. peas
and beans, ETC., that draw on
THE nitrogen in the air and fix II
In the soil by accurnulating it in
little nodules on the roots.
Now you see we have q sclu'
ton to the problem, simply By
growing deep rooted crop TO &C
cumulate the nitrogen for the
shallow rooted crop the next
year.
But some Of us have allowed
