Twenty-seven states and ter

an eight-hour day. Six states pre-

a days work unless specified to the

United States specify the eight-hour
day on irrigation work and New York
for laborers upon reservoirs.
In Wisconsin the eight-hour day is

ston, former postmaster of that
place and brother of Congress-
man Halvor STEVENSON of that city,
as a candidate for governor at the
convention of the Minnesota Progress
sive Republican league in Minneapolis

one has been known for some time.
w. E. Lee of Long Prairie, candidate
for governor at the primaries in 1912.

candidate for senator in the same
primary, have been interviewing
members of the league in the hope
of getting the endorsement, it is re-

st. Paul Clearing House Files an Ap-
plication:
A formal application for a regional
reserve bank for St. Paul has been
filed with the federal reserve bank Or
ganization committee in Washington.

acidity. It is necessary to the success.

cow peas, or other leguminous crops
on acid soils, such as occur in places
in Mower, Meeker, Stearns, Morrison,
Cass, and st. Louis counties. Al
though not a plant food, it is called
fertilizer because it stimulates the
decay Of organic matter and hastens
plant growth.
needed because water passing through
the soil has leached or washed out the
lime from sand which was unable to
hold it and sometimes because the soil
was poorly drained and rich in organ
ic matter which made the land sour or
acid in decaying. Acidity may be de-
tected by the use of little blue lit
mus paper purchased from YOUR local
drug store or furnished by the Soils
Chemist, University Farm, St. Paul.
The blue paper should be cut into
strips half an inch wide and two inch
es long. Place one end in some
moistened soil, and if the soil is acid
the blue paper will turn red or pink,
either Immediately or in the course Of
five or ten minutes, depending upon the
strength of the acid in the soil. Be
very careful to keep all moisture ex-
cept that from the soil away from
the paper, as even the sweat from
the fingers might turn the blue paper
red and make you decide that the
soil was acid when it alone woula
not have turned the paper red. :, If
you will send small sample to Uni
versity Darm, you will be notified
whether your soil is acid, and needs
lime. 90. l.
If you decide that your soil needs

should then be set to distribute as
thinly as possible. Limestone and rock
