What Il Means to Farmers.

The beauties of free trade are we'll
illustrated by the present meat sup
ply and prices. During the ten
months preceding May the imports
of meat and dairy products into the
United States were three times as
great as in like period two years
ago. This means that the American
farmer has been deprived of his home
market to the extent Of more than
$4,000, 900, and the consumer has paid
not a cent less than he would have
paid If the American farmer had been
allowed to supply his home product.
1t means also that the clothing manu-
facturer, the furniture man and other
business men have been deprived Of
the farm trade to practically the CT
tent of this $25,000.000; for had the
farmer received the money he would
have spent 1t at home. 1t all means
simply that Argentine farmers and
manufacturers are using this $25.000.-
900 that otherwise we should have
been enjoying in the United States.
The farmer Is surely not the man who
is benefited by free trade.-Dover

PLAN FOR SOIL IMPROVEMENT

In an experiment. where no farm
manure was used. the average yearly
return from the land itself was $3.7b
per acre. while 81 was the return from
. ton OF limestone and $2.66 from 500
pounds Of phosphate. 4
In order to reduce the labor in
volved, the limestone and phosphate
are actually applied In larger amounts
at less frequent intervals; but thus
far the rates Of application have been
one ton OF limestone and 500 pounds
Of phosphate per acre for each year.
although. after the soil II sufficiently
enriched. one-half or one-third these
amounts will provide for maintenance.
The principles Of permanent i'm.
provement for most soil types are al
ready well established. They include
the use Of ground limestone for cor.
recting soil and for enrichment In cal.
cium; the utilization Of atmospheric
nitrogen by proper use of legume
crops. the application Of phosphorus
to most soils and the liberation of pot
ash from the inexhaustible supply Al
ready contained In all normal soils.
On. some soils dolomitic limestone
should be used In order to provide
both magnesium and calcium: and ON

SUM must also be applied.
The location and character Of the
various soil types are established BY
tho surveys and analyses, and the soil
experiment fields help to determine
the best order of application Of the
materials needed.

Il seems now that the Republicans

that President Wilson II stronger to-
day than at any period OF his admin

Its greatest strength lies in the policy
that has thus far preserved the ma

ment are that the administration. IN
spite of itself. will be forced to act
In Mexico and make amends for its
past sins of omission. Should this
come about, with no vital change In

TarIm In Politics,

; So long as public opinion Is deeply
and widely divided on the issue of
protection. so long that Issue must be
in politics. Men who believe low
tariff is ruinous to the country are
not going to elect Congressman who
will enact that sort of a tariff. Men
who believe the tariff IL tax on con-
sumption several times as large as the
revenue secured by the government,
and ought In the interest of the whole
country to be as low as revenue con-
siderations permit, cannot be expected
to vote for such candidates for Con-
gress as the American Economist
would approve.

FINE YIELD OF CLOVER SEED
Instead Of Decreasing Yield Protracted
Drought Seems to Increase II,
Says Indiana Farmer.

By 8. q. BRANDS. Indiana.)
A few seasons ago we thought we
would not cut clover for seed, as the
drought had been unusually severe
during the greater part of the sum-
mer. We expected that the protracted
drought would lessen the turnout Of
seed.
Several farmers in this vicinity said
that they did not intend to cut their
clover for seed. They thought It
would not pay for the labor and ex-
pense of threshing.
I had a very large field Of seed olo-
YER, and. as was needing the seed,
concluded that would cut 1t and see
what the results would be. The turn
out of seed was excellent. It APP
peared as though the drought was Of
some benefit.
I can see now that q dry season af.
ter the seed has formed will increase
the yield Of seed in place of lessening
