ANNUAL MEETING IF AMERICAN
 PLOWMEN
National Farmers Union Renders Un- selfish Service to Agriculture.
By Peter Radford.

The National Farmers Union will hold its annual convention in Lincoln Nebraska, on September seventh, and fwfll round out the eleventh year of Its activities in the interest of the American plowman. When that con- kvention is called to order every farm , CT in America should pause and bow his head in honor of the men gath cred there to render a patriotic and unselfish service to agriculture. That organization, born in the cotton fields Of Texas, has grown until geograph- ically 1t covers almost the whole of ] the United States and economically it deals with every question in which the welfare of the men who bare their backs to the summer sun are involved. It has battled for better marketing system, rural credits, cheap money, diversification, scientific pro- 1 auction, agricultural legislation and has carried on its work of education and cooperation in season and out.
 The Farmers Educational and Co- operative Union of America brings the question of organization squarely before every farmer in this nation i Without organization the farmers can neither help themselves nor be helped by others and through organization and systematic effort all things are possible
 The farmers of the United States contribute more and get less from 1 government than any other class of business. They have better securities and pay a higher rate of interest than any other line of industry. They market more products and have less to say in fixing the price than any
 other business and they get more political buneOmbe and less construc- tive legislation than any other class of people, The farmers can only ac- quire such influence in business. In
 government and in economics as will
 enable them to share equitably the fruits of their labor through organiza- tion and every farmer on American
 soil who desires to help himself and his fellow plowmen should rally around the Union.

Delbert E. Davenport, the dramatic author, smiled the other evening when the conversation at a social affair turned to the sayings of the kiddies' He was reminded of this incident along that line;
 Some time ago there was beautiful girl who had fiance named Jones' She also had little brother named Willie. One morning Willie was thoughtfully sitting at the breakfast table when he suddenly turned to his father.
 Say, father" said he, q don't think that MT. Jones will make a very good husband for sis"

AS result, p0IIdcal agitators, polit- ioal lawyers, political preachers and masculine women are powerful in politics and dissension, selfishness, in tolerance and mysteries run rampant in public affairs, for when the low, damp, murky atmosphere of misun- derstanding envelops public thought it breeds political reptiles, vermin, bugs and lice which the pure air of truth and the sunshine of understand ing will choke to death.
 We have too many self-appointed interpreters of industry who are in- capable of grasping the fundamental principles of business and who at best can only translate gossip and add color to sensational stories. No busi- ness can stand upon error and might rules-right or wrong. No industry can thrive upon misunderstanding, for public opinion is more powerful than a Kings sword.
 When prejudice, suspicion and class hatred prevail, power grayitates into the hands of the weak. for dema- gogues thrive upon dissension and statesmen sicken upon strife.
 The remedy lies in eliminating the middleman-the political gossip-and this result can be accomplished by the managers of business sitting around the table of industry and talk ing it over with the people. Inter- change of information between indus tries and the people is as necessary to success in business as interchange in commodities, for the people can only rule when the public under stands Away with political interpret CTS who summon evil spirits from their prison cells and loose them to prey upon the welfare of the people in the name of My Country"

THE TAXATION OF NJ.
 TR0GEN IN THE SOIL
Experimental Station Bacteriooels Says Bacteria Take Nitrogen From Air For Deposit in Soil.

It is a well known fact that either ields or unbrolen land allowed to run without tillage will gradually increase III nltrates, sometimes as much as twenty to thirty percent. For a number of years this was matter of much discussion and was explained in various ways. However, it was final. ly discovered that this was the work or bacteria and that these bacteria take free nitrogen from the air and convert it into plant food in the soil. This process Is called nitrogen fixa- tion"
 Process of Fixation.
 There is another process of fixa. ton which must be distinguished from the process just mentioned and that Is the process which takes place in the nodules on the roots of leguminous plants. Both of these processes of fix. ation are brought about by bacteria but the organisms which cause them are entirely different The bacteria which work in the nodules will not fix nitrogen in the soil while those which work in the soil will not fix nitrogen in the nodules of legumes.
 Bacteria as Aid.
 The bacteria which fix free nitro gen in the soil are capable of doing their work quite rapidly. It has been demonstrated quite conclusively that thpV ohln fo amounts Of nitrogen in as short time as 10 days or two weeks when all of the controlling factors are favorable. Only part of the factors which con- trol their work have been determined, put some of the more important ones are known. Probably one of the more important of these factors is the ad- dltlon of lime to the soil as it seems that lime is a great help to these or ganlsms in carrying on their work. They usually work in the first foot of soil or in that part which Is reached by the blow, but as previously stated they may also work in soil that has never been titled.
 Value of Bacteria.
 The value of their work can hard. ly be estimated in dollars and cents Tor they work almost the entire year storing up in the soil this most cost. ly or plant food, while at the same time they are practically unaided in their work and do not cost the farmer one cent

HOW TO MAKE GOOD SILAGE
Various Methods That May Be Used
 With Success in Arkansas.

Corn should be harvested for silage when in the denting or glazing stage. Sorghums should be allowed to grow until the seed is perfectly ma ture.
 Harvest with a corn binder as bun. dies are the most convenient to handle
 Have plenty of power and labor so that the filling can be done rapidly as 1t is more economical to run at full capacity
 Mince the Forage.
 Chop the forage in lengths not to exceed one-half to thren-uuarters inches in length. They pack more closely and therefore exclude air moro effectively
 Distribute the light and heavy par ticles uniformly over the surface of the silo to insure even settling.
 Keep the surface in the silo saucer. shaped with the high side next to the walls.
 Tramp the entire surface thorough ly but more specially around the walls.
 Use Plenty of Water.
 If the crop has been frosted or rather mature add plenty of water. Do not be afraid of adding too much but avoid adding too little.
 Running water into the blower of the cutter is the best way to add wa. ter as 1t is then evenly distributed. Snap the ears out of the last two ar three loads of corn to save the grain. When reflling on old silage. remove all spoiled silage before putting in new
 Seal the silo by thoroughly tramp. ing and soaking the top of the silaga for several days after filing and allow. ing the silo to seal itself
 If your silo was air and water tight at the beginning you will have good silage

POLITICAL GOSSIPS

When one class of people has any thing to say, 1t has become largely the custom to make a political issue out of it instead of a friendly discus sion, to print it in a law book instead or newspaper and to argue it be- fore jury instead of to settle it in the higher courts of Common Sense.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY
WILL RENEW AGREEMENT
Negotiations, However, Are Moving
Slowly Between Two States
Regarding Ausgleich.
is COMMERCIAL ARRANGEMENT
Appears Certain That Only Proyi-
sional Contract Is Possible, Until
Political and Geographical Results
OF War Are Known.

VIENNA, November 6.-Negotiations
for the renewal of the commercial
agreement between Austria and Hum
the commissioners OF the two states
here. The present Ausgleich, or agree
ment, expires in 1917, but it was spe-
cifically provided in the Ausgleich law
that negotiations for renewal were to
begin at the latest in the early part
OF 1918.
The Ausgleich arrangement provides
for the customs and commercial union
OF the two countries. and is quite sepa-
rate from the political union. which is
permanent. Under the AusGleich the
two states form practically one com
mercial territory, with the same coin
age. weights and measures, n joint
bank of issue, and the same consular
representatives abroad while the
monopolics ana taxes connected with
industrial production are administered
on identical principles. This CONNER
cial arrangement, begun in 1867, was
renewed in 1878, 1887 and 1907. In 1897
no agreement was reached. but in fact
the agreement was kept alive on the
condition of reciprocity.
PROVISIONAL AGREEMENT
SEEMS ONLY POSSIBILITY
This year seems again likely TO wit
ness some impcdimcnts to the neGotia-
tons. for the Austrians seek TO con-
cludc IN agreement for much longer
period than heretofore. declaring that

would be Acknowledgements in the inter-
national situation likely during the
next decade. On the other hand, Hum
gary favors an economic agreement
only for a short period. and urges
that the agreement should include the
drawing up Of a tariff.
The HUNGARIAN newspapers comment
on the fact that one OF the Hungarian
commissioners is an under-secretary
OF state who is serving i'll thc army
as second lieutenant. while all the
Austrian commissioners are military
men of the rank OF general This is q

his duty to obey the orders of his mil
itary superiors. As matter OF fact,
