T0n DRESSING Of Wheat Land.

Top Dressing of Wheat Land.
Every year sees a greater num-
Der of Missouri farmers using
manure as a top dressing on
wheat. There is considerable
evidence to show where wheat is
grown in rotation, manure can
very often be applied to better
advantage as a top dressing on
this crop tina mas an applicant
before corn. There are two prin-
cipl advantages of this practice.
The first one is that it greatly
stimulates the growth Of the
wheat and helps to prevent win
ter killing with a resulting in
crease in yield. The second one
is that since clover and grass are
usually sown with the wheat and
since manure aids very greatly
in securing a stand of these
crops when used as a top dress
ing with the wheat, this alone
may be sufficient reason for its
application. AS matter of fact
as.
the top dressing of wheat with
manure almost insures a stand
of clover or grass on land which
is at all suited to these crops.
The land may be too sour or too
wet to grow clover. Much land
in Missouri is too sour. If it is
only slightly sour, the manure
greatly aids in getting a clover
stand. If it is very sour, lime
is usually essential in addition.

Official returns from all but four
teen OF the counties Of Missouri give
the prohibition amendment a majority
of more than $4,000 outside Of ST. Louis.
The heavy adverse vote Of ST. Louis
defeated the amendment in the state,
according to returns already in, by
111,5O0.
Six years ago, when a prohibition
amendment was voted on, 1t lost in
the state outside OF st. Louis by 3d.
600. The St Louis vote brought this
adverse majority to about 10000.
The fact that In the election held a
week ago, prohibition carried in the
state outside OF st. Louis. is consid-
cred indicative Of a marked change In
public sentiment in the last six years.
Prohibition carried in Jackson coun-
ty, which includes Kansas City; JAS
per county, which includes Joplin;
Pettis county, which includes sedalia;
Green county. which includes Spring
field, and Randolph county. which in.
cludes Moberly.

81. Loula Vote 70 Court.

A mandamus suit has been filed in
the st. Louis Court Of Appeals by a
negro voter. asking for an order re-
curing the election judges In one pre-
cinct Of st. Louis to count six reject
ed ballots.
The suit was filed In accordance
with a tentative plan Of Republican
leaders to contest the election Of
Frederick p. Gardner OF St. Louis as
governor Of Missouri. Gardner won
on the face OF the returns by about
1900.
The Republican state committee has
not decided yet whether It win briEs
a formal contest.
Tho st. Louis election board decided
that It had no authority to order a
recount Of certain rejected ballots,
These ballots. believed to number
about one thousand, and in most cases
those Of negroes, are believed by the
Republican leaders to have been cast
for the Republican nominee for gov
ernor.

Rotation VS.. Manure for Corn.
In some of the experiments at
the Missouri Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station corn has been
grown for twenty-five years on
the same plot of ground with an
application of manure averaging
about seven tons annually. In
comparison with this, corn has
been grown in various rotations
without manure. A summary of
the yields for the last six years
on those plots shows that the
average yield of corn on the ro-
tated plots is greater than the
average yield of corn which has
been grown continuously with
manure. In other words rota-
ton has been somewhat better
than heavy manuring in this ex-
pertinent. The last six years of
the quarter century have been
chosen for comparison since one
of the rotations is a six-year ro-
tation and since this number of
years is sufficient to largely
overcome seasonal variations.
It should not be understood
from these results that rotation
is sufficient to maintain the yield
of corn. AS a matter of fact
there are other plots in this
same experiment which have
been both rotated and MANFRED
The average yields of these plots
is very materially above rota
ton alone. The important points
are, that rotation is more i'm
portant than fairly heavy man
uring in the long run, but tina.
III is not all-sufficient that il
order to maintain land in pro
: duetiveness economically,
} should be both rotated and man
! ured, while in many cases CON
l mercial fertilizing materials az
z piled in addition to the manur
will give still further return.

THREE HEROES.

THREE HEROES.
Conspiciously reported in the
entire American press have been
the deaths of three American
serving in the French
army-Victor Chapman, Kitten
Rockwell and Norman Prince.
Other Americans have given
their lives for France in this
war, and their memories are
honored both at home and in the
country for which they died.
But the three American aviators
who have persisted have received
from the people of this country
and of France a special homage.
The art of flying is still in its in
fancy; battles in the air are
still the most striking innova-
ton war. The quality of courage
that enables a man to engage in
a duel to the death ten thousand
feet above the earth seems to
most people more extraordinary
than that logged sort displayed
by the soldiers in the trenches.
Romance, which has faded out
of infantry warfare,-if it ever
existed in it,-seems to cling
about the daring warrior of the
skies.
But it is not necessary to
analyze the varying qualities or
degrees of courage, or to try to
answer the question why people
generally are more interested in
one manifestation of it thar
another. The indisputable fact
remains that America gave Il
France in Chapman, Rockwell
and Prince three young men o.
supreme heroism-of heroisn
not to be excelled. They werr

that of their own consciences t,

Resolutions endorsing President Will
son as the candidate for President, and
II. Otto Wittpenn, candidate for Gov
ernor, have just been adopted by the
Democratic State Executive Committee.
The pledge to the President is, in part,
as follows:
when the people of New Jersey COM
mitted their destiny to Woodrow Will
son as Governor, he kept the faith. He
emphasized the doctrine that the Demo-
cratic party was a peoples party. The
people of the country choose him as
leader, and he did these things; Pre-
served peace; promoted prosperity;
maintained national honor; fulfilled pre-
election promises and brought the
try to an era of unparalleled prosperity.
For these things we are thankful, and
the executive committee of the State
committee hereby gives his candidacy its
hearty commentator"
