PLANTFoo0 IS FOUND IN THE SOIL

Railroad trains run through the
land, collecting and hauling raw ma
terial to the factories in different cities
and towns. Likewise the plant roots
gather up raw available plantfood OF
the soil and carry if TO the stalk where
it passes up TO the leaves and Is di-
gested in the green matter or chlOr
ophyll with the help OF the power that
comes from the sun. The leaves Of all
plants are the factories that manu-
facture the raw plantfood of the soil
into digested food that is used to build
up every part Of the plant, including
stalks, leaves, roots, fruit, grain, etc.
The wider the leaf and the more leaves
on the plant the greater the stomach
or digestive surface consequently the
more plantfood that can be digeSted.
One reason SO many farmers get small
crops is that they Go not have enough
leaf surface TO digest plantfood.
Peter J. Lux, the champion corn
grower of Indiana, was well aware OF
this important fact when he selected
his corn not alone for the ear but for
a wide leaf to digest more plantfood.
AS a result of this fact he won many
premiums and medals on his corn, IN
GLIDING u $500 prize at Nhiteville. No.
IN selecting 40 seed, care should be
exercised to see that its different char
acteristics suit It TO the particular re-
gion where you want to grow it Then
see that the soils is well supplied witll
humus and piantfOod by adding botll
manure and fertilizers. The larger the
leaf or stomach OF the plant the larger
the quantity Of pIantfood that can be
digested if it is at hand consequently
the larger and better the crop that can
be grown. This is efficiency and eff
foicncy is what we as farmers Shout
ever keep before US this year.

FILIBUSTERING IN CONGRESS.

The close of the Congressional session in tange OF
busterng characteristic end of our chief American
legislature To people who have followed political news
for generation, it all sounds very familiar. Many
session has thus ended with vital matters hung up.
In former years it not confined at all to the end of
the session The minority party continually resorted to
obstrctonist tactics This might be because felt
gieved arbitrary action or because of bitter op-
position pending legislation You could take up pa
Der day after day and find little but this endless bus
tering.
Members took pride in the length of speeches they
could make in which to kill time. There kind Of
art about it. to dig up and make of all kinds of rree
want matter, without being called to order Roll calls
were favorte method of delaying action. Some time
saving method of recording votes could long ago have
been found but Congress always seemed to like good
obstructionist club lying around.
The funny thing about it is that libustering has al
ways been denounced by the majority party yet when
that party became itself minority it would bring the
same long-winded speakers and frivolous roll calls
The American people have active temperament
and they like to things DONE They dislike hesitation
and delay and they generally disposed to let ma
ority have head and do their will. Public sentiment
wears ago compelled the House to modify its rules and
greatly restrict debate. Indeed there is question if

pie who contribute to charity that the money CIV
