Adjournment

There is worry, about adjournment day. Some
weeks ago Mr.. Underwood expressed a hope for
June Is. That seems to have gone .glimmering. A
popular guess now is July u, with August Is not
wholly out of the question. s.
The Panama tools question is not altogether re-
sponsible. That may delay matters somewhat, but
other things are to be taken into account. d,
Take the trust issue. At the start there was ex.
pectation of an early, if not easy, settlement Of that.
Mr. Wilson had picked his leaders, and as they were
eminent lawyers no serious trouble seemed likely
about putting measures into shape. -.
But that very thing has happened. Measures have
been prepared only to be rejected. The eminent law
yers have disagreed. The President is somewhat at
sea. In neither House nor Senate has tile debate
opened. In both, when the debate docs open, it is
likely to be warm.
Take rural credits. Something entirely new with
US, and because Of its great importance deserving Of
careful consideration. That should not be rushed. :
Take the navy bill. Promise is of a clash between
the big and the little navy men. Friends of IAN
adequate navy will press their case; and if resist
ance is strong they will not stick at the matter Of
time. They want at least one ship more than their
opponents, and are not going to give up the ship.
The Panama tolls issue is a surprise. 1t did not
enter into the first calculation about adjournment. 1t
most emphatically enters into the present calculation.
A'"UONJ AANy SOu"y ASASSNSS Wan "" w.
the length of the debate. 1t may consume weeks in
the discussion; and if Johnny Bulls domestic troubles
increase, the Senate in the end may decide that this
is not the best time to yield to him.
Then Mexico is to be remembered. Nobody can
read that future. II our complications continue to
increase, our hand may be forced in a few months,
and, il it is, Congress may he detained on that &C.
count. 1t would not do for Congress to adjourn soon
after ordering intervention, or war direct.
Senators End representatives with a desire to sue
coed themselves arc anxious to get away as soon as
possible. The call OF home is loud in their ears. The
other fellows arc hard at work, and IL is important
that they. too, get busy. But at this distance they
arc at q disadvantage. Manoeuvering their forces by
wire or the rails is far from being satisfactory.
1t would be better, however, for them to remain
here while real duty calls, than clear the table llur.
riedly and scatter for campaigning in their individual
interests. .

Do NOW

Don't "stub5lein' your grain this spring.
The government department of agriculture has
been busy among North Dakota farmers, gathering
a concensus OF opinion concerning this rough and
ready method of spring seeding. Out of l44 farmers,
in widely scattered parts of North Dakota, of whom
inquiry was made, 81 IL per cent declared them.
selves unfayorable to the practice. Ten and one.half
per cent qualified their statements, and from the
remaining two per cent no reply was received.
Those partially upholding the %"stubble' method
thought it all right where the ground had been deeply
spring'plowed the year before, was rich and loose
and free from weeds, provided the seeding was done
early. A few had secured good results where the
stubble had been burnt off, while yet a few others
press drills for the work.
The advantages seem to be principally in saving
of time and equipment, a slightly plumper and better
quality -kernel, and in the larger area that can be
covered. The disadvantages are that the average
yields are about onethird less and the, possibility OF
total loss much greater. The straw is shorter and
hard to bind for that reason in a dry year. The
fields dry out quicker in times OF drought and arc
correspondingly harder to pillow for the next crop.
Noxious weeds are also much more numerous on
stubbled fields than on others. The reputation Of
using such ~sipshod methods also affects the farmers
credit and standing.
All Of the IA farmers with whom correspondence
was had reported that stu5bling:in was %practiced in
their vicinity, which shows to what an extent this
reprehensible method of alleged farming is carried
on. Such slovenly ways are not only injurious to the
farmer who practices them, but are also a positive
menace to his more thrifty %neighbors by reason OF
the foul seed that is permitted to 80 to seed and
the bad name for low average yields which is given
to the vicinity. Far better have forty acres of a
fair yield, grown on clean land and leaving a clean
stubble, than twice the area giving even more grain
in the aggregate, but leaving the land weedy, impov-
erished and hard to till for the ensuing crop.
Government activity along these lines of inquiry
is to be commended, and he is a wise farmer who
profits from the lesson that is taught by the investi.
cation mentioned. 49,

Parcel Post Experiment

When the parcel post was in the stage of debate
1t was urged by the advocates of the system that it
would bring producers in the country and consumers
In the city in contact, and that the high cost of living
would be corrected by jumping over the heads of
middlemen or by lessening their profits by reason OF
the new competition. The parcel post system direct
ly after its Inauguration demonstrated it's usefulness,
but It has not yet produced all the benefits that were
prophesied for it. That it has not done so is no
argument, against the system says the Washington
Star. 1t has produced noteworthy results and may
yet perform all the wonders which its enthusiastic
friends alleged 1t would. 1t has cheapened the car
rage OF parcels to such an extent that one Of the
great express companies has been unable to meet the
competition and the other express companies have
deeply cut their charges and are seriously feeling the
competition. .
The recent action of the ostmaster general to.
ward e%nlafging the scope of the parcel post is a
step toward bringing producers and consumers to-
gether and thus fulfilling the prophecies made before
and at the time of the inauguration of the service.
Washington is one of the cities in which the expert
ment will BE put into effect. The postmaster general
has already issued an order which will permit the use
OF crates and boxes for parcel post shipments of but
ter, eggs, poultry, vegetables and fruit, and now the
plan Is that postmastcrs shall receive the names of
persons willing to supply farm produce in retail guam
Titles by parcel posi-, and these lists will lie pre-
pared from time to time for distribution to city and
Gown patrons who wish to buy farm produce direct"
1t is ar ambitious project and perhaps may be
developed into a business of magnitude. Az it devel-
ops 1t must sstill further curtail the business of the
express companies. Charges arc made that the com
petition is unfair in various ways. in that the govern.
ments postal plant is used, and that the charges OF
rentals, dividends and the like, which have to be
inquired on by private or quasipublic distributing
agencies do not have TO be considered by the govern
ment. The railroad companies complain that they
are forced to carry parcel post matter at cost, and
In some cases at a loss. But the parcel post has
come to stay. The express companies were SO haugh-
ty when they were supreme that they seem to have
few friends who mourn their plight.
