KENT DEMOCRATS FIX
THEIR PRIMARY DATE

The Kent County Democratic Com
/ mlttee met at Dover last week and held
discussion on the new primary laws,
which all parties will be compelled to
| observe in making nominations for the
campaign this fall. The main point of
interest was that of assessments of those
who desire to become candidates for the
several offices to be filled, and it was
hnally decided to fix the assessment
upon the basis of the salary of the Office
to be filled, taking into account the two
and four year terms.
An estimate was also made as TO the
probable cost to the party of holding
the primaries independent of what the
county pays toward the holding of such
elections.
The committee also decided on the
date for the holding of the urinary
election, being the first OF the parties
throughout the county, if not the state,
TO set the date of their primary and the
date agreed upon being August 18th, or
the Saturday following the second reg
lstraton day in August which is the
hrst opportunity that any party could
have after such registration.
The qualitiers whose duty it will be
~ ~ car III the inherent election officers
for the primary election, were partially
named at the meeting. The vacancies
are to be filled by the several county
committeeman and sent in to the County
Committee. Those agreed upon includ

COOPERATIVE
CATTLE SALES

One of the most important effects of the
I eradication of the Texas fever cattle tick
IN the South, and the consequent release
of large areas from quarantine has been
/ the development of a demand among far
mers in the released area for pure bred
| cattle 10 improve their native stock, es-
pecially beef cattle. Many requests have
reached the department for assistance i'll
obtaining such animals. Farmers in this
territory often do not know where or
how to buy and do not feel confident in
their own Judgment as to what to buy
To meet the situation the Bureau of An
lmal Industry recently suggested a CO.
operative arrangement between breeders
associations and the farmers cooperative
demonstration work Of the department
whereby sales could be held at which
purchasers could be assured Of fair deal
ing.
The plan suggested provided that the
association cooperating would hold sales
IN southern territory as an association,
that 1t would guarantee all animals Of
Tered, and would assume all responsible
itv for them and all expenses connected
with the sales The department in turn
would furnish information concerning
the sales through agents and demonstra-
tors of the farmers cooperative demon
stration work stationed in the South.
This plan was approved by the Score
tary of Agriculture, and the first associ-
alton with which II was put into effect
was the American Aberdeen-Angus Asso-
citation. The first sale by the association
under the co operative plan was held at
Montgomery, Ala, on February 3, and
was a decided success. The cattle were
not immune to Texas fever and had not
been inoculated but went to farms which
are free from tick infection. The asso
citation is so well satisfied with its initial
experiment that it is planning other sales
TO be held at other points under the same
The department believes that this ar
will not only be OF great value
TO Southern farmers in improving their
live stock, but that it presents an added
field of usefulness for a breeders associ- |
alton by broadening in perfectly legiti-
mate way the market for animals owned
by its members. 1t is hoped that ar
similar to that now in effect
with the American Aberdeen. Angus As !
ISOLATION may be perfected with other
live stock breeders association.

CLAYTON'S JUSTICE
AND THE GOVERNOR

In the current discussion of the Justice
of the peace situation in CLAYTON an in
justice has been done to Governor Miller.
/ 1t no doubt was inspired bv men who
hoped TO make political capital out of
what is admittedly an aggravating situa-
ton.
Official explanation is to the effect that
the governor has not appointed a Justice
| because under the existing condition and
the law, he has no power to do so. By
reason of an unusual set of circumstances
there IS no justice of the peace in CLAYTON
and, at the same time, there is no vacancy.
1t is stated that Governor Pennewill in
July, 1910, appointed Ollie w. Carey. a
railroad man, to the Office of justice He
served for a time and then moved away.
For some reason he failed TO resign and
up to this time his resignation has not
heen obtained.
u examination of the law bearing
he situation showed that Governor
successor of Governor Pennewill,
over 10 remove the absent Justice
the only thing to do, with vol
resignation lacking, was to await
.piration Of Justice Careys term on
- l9 next. In other words, a serious
defect IN the law was revealed.
There has been nodisinclination on the
part of the governor to act nor has there
been any delay due to the inability of the
Republican leaders to agree npon man.
Those assertions, have been prompted bv
ignorance and partisan spleen. Il is safe
10 assert that just as soon as the COVER
nor is in a position to give relief to the |
people of Clayton he will do so. No |
iOubt he also wi recommend 10 the ,,avf |
legislature the passage of bill that will |
prevent a recurrence of the Clayton
rouble Evening Journal.

WHAT is HUMUS
AND WHY NEEDED
Dark CoIored Soils Contain Con-
siderable Amount of Organic
Matter and Are Fertile.

(By w II. STEVENSON, Iowa State Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station. Copy
right, 1914)
All soils that are really productive
contain decaying roots, leaves and AMI
NAL life. We call this partly decayed
organic matter humus., This material
Is the life of the soil 1t is impossible
to grow good crops unless the soil Is
well supplied with humus.
Humus has many functions in soils.
It makes heavy soils open and porous,
and this promotes aeration. Clay soils
are especially benefited from the
standpoint Of these changes. 1t In
creases the water-holding power and
thus is an important factor In making
sandy soils productive. 1t supplies the
bacteria of the soil with food. These
bacteria are indispensable because
some of them make the nitrogen OF
the soil available for plants, while
others fix atmospheric nitrogen in the
soil and render it available as plant
food. Humus gradually decays and lib
crates carbonic acid gas. This acts on
at least small portion of the plant
food which they contain. AS a rule,
dark-colored soils contain considera-
BILE amount of humus and are fertile.
IL there were an abundance of ma
nure on all farms, the problem of keep
ing soils supplied with organic matter
and humus would be easily solved All
that would be required would be the
application Of the manure to keep all
the land supplied with organic mat
ter. But there will never be enough
Of this material because all of the soil
products of the farm cannot be fed to
animals. The human race must have
other food than milk and meat. There
fore we must depend upon plants TO
suppIement manures and furnish an
adequate supply of humus. In some
cases we may use only their roots and
stubble; often the entire plant will be
plowed under.
IF only limited amount OF manure
is available it Is often advisable to use
it to grow some clover or other crop
to plow under. When used in this way
more humus is secured than would be
the case If the manure we're used dl-
rectly. In general the clovers are the
best plants to grow for supply OF
organic matter. There would be prac-
tically no limit to the amount OF TINS
material which would be available II
farmers would put their lands in shape
to grow clover successfully. This crop
in recent years has been failing more
and more, and land has become dell
cient in organic matter, and less pro-
ductive. Drainage, fertilization and
use of lime will help many farmers to
get the clover they must have in order
to keep their soils stocked with humus.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1914-06-18

applied In correct manner.
Farmers lose from $3.50 to $500
per hundredweight by not docking
and castrating their lambs. Stag NUT
ton has a peculiar taste, and Is un7
desirable; packers do not like to han
die them, and for this reason cut
prices heavily.
Lambs should not be locked ana
castrated at one operation. Castrate
when about a week DID, and six or
seven days later dock by using the hot
pinchers Do the castrating on a
clear, bright morning.
At IL to IA days the lamb begins to
eat with It's mother at the feed-trough.
Creeps should then be constructed,
and the little fellows fed on the fol-
lowing rations:
Two parts bran, one part fine corn
meal, one part crushed oats, one half
part oil meal. Bright clover or al
falfa hay should be fed in separate
trough. What the lambs will not eat
clean, may be given to the older sheep
at night.
