2,O27 MISSOURI M
ATTEND ANNUAL MEETING
Ninety Six Counties of State
Represented at Columbia
Convention.


Two thousand and twenty-sev-
en- farmers, their wives and
children attended the annual
Farmers Week given the first
week in January at Columbia I'M
der the direction of the College
Of Agriculture Of the University
of Missouri and the State Board
of Agriculture. The banquet
which was given at the close of
the week on Friday night was
attended by $50 visitors.
The week is the largest gath
ering Of Missouri farmers held
in the state during each year.
Lectures and demonstrations on
all subjects of interest to the
ruralist and his family are given
and each year the week is as
suming greater Importance in
the life of the rural peoples of
the state. Speakers for the
1918 Farmers Week are al
ready being invited. Sir Horace
Plunkett of Dublin, Ireland,
Margaret Wilson, daughter of
the president, and others who
were unable to appear on this
years program have been asked
to fill a place upon one for next
year.

CUT PRINTING $469,OOO.
Drastic Recommendation to Sem
ate Based on Paper Scarcity.

The Senate committee on
printing, after an Investigation.
has reported the possibility of
saving $469,OOO annually by the
elimination of useless public
documents. The investigation
was made as the result of a reso-
luton introduced by Senator
Kenyon of Iowa, which called
attention to the enormous in
crease in the cost of paper, and
asked THAT steps be taken to
find out what Government publ
cations might be discontinued
or temporarily suspended in or
der to conserve the supply.
A bill which the committee in
troduced in conjunction with the
report provides for a reduction
of over 80 per cent of the pres
ent cost of Government printing.
1t restricts unanimous consent"
printing of documents by both
houses, eliminates the printing
of private pension and war
claims bills as reported, re-
quires that members themselves
shall pay for the franked en-
velopes in which they mail
speeches printed at private ex-
pense, require that members pay
for the enclosing of their let
terheads and envelopes, and re-
stricts free franked envelopes to
manila stock. The last two
items already have been placed
in effect by order of the COM
mittee.
The bill also provides for the
discontinuance of numerous de-
%partmental publications for Con-
gressional distribution. The
contemplated reduction in the
bulk of The Congressional Rec
ord alone would save $780, 900 a
year.

Many Missouri Farms Need
Lime.

Lime.
The use of ground limestone
or some form of lime to sweeten
sour soil will soon become a
regular farm practice in many
parts of Missouri. The reasons
for this practice were given by
R. A. Kinnaird of the College of
Agriculture in a recent lecture
during Farmers Week at the
University. Soils which were
originally poorly supplied with
lime and even limestone soils
have lost so much of the lime
which they formerly contained
that crops suffer from soil acid
ity. The continuous teaching to
which soils in the humid regions
are subjected and which is
greatly increased by cultivation
is largely responsible for this
loss of lime. The greatest soil
acidity, therefore, is in those
soils which were originally poor
ly supplied with lime and es-
pecially in regions where the
land has been cultivated a long
time with little attention to soil
fertility.
Practically all the soils of the
prairie region Of northwest
Missouri are quite sour. In the
northwestern part of the state
there is much less acidity. In
the Ozark Region soils derived
from limestone have been leach
ed until they have become very
acid. The regions known as the
post oak flats are the worst in
this respect. There are also soils
in the Missouri and Mississippi
River bottoms that are sour.
], Not all crops are injured by an
acid soil, but unfortunately
most important cereals and for
age crops, especially clovers and
alfalfa, cannot be grown success
! fully on a very acid soil. Acid
: ity is indicated by the failure of
+ these crops and by iuxuriant
3 growth of red sorrel, Canada
. blue grass and water grass.
To sweeten an acid soil, a suf.
S fcient amount of finely GROUND
: limestone or slaked lime must b.
scattered evenly over the pillow
ed ground and worked into tn,
e top soil. Ground limestone il
usually the cheapest and mos
c satisfactory in general, though
it takes effect more slowly thar
quick lime, slaked lime or ny
e drafted lime, and a larger guam
. THY must be applied to get tn,
same results. The screening
r from an ordinary rock crushe
can be used. Coarser materia
has little immediate effect o.
/ the soil, but if 40 much large
It quantity of the coarse materia
is used it will keep the so
# sweet for a longer time. Screer
ings can be obtained at fror
o twenty-five cents to one dollar
I ton. In some cases where hau
ing from the railroad IS eXpeT
% sive and where limestone is az
IS ~cessible, small grinders can b
ID used to grind the limestone o
. the farm.

h of limestone on acid soils shoul

LEGISLATURE DoINGS
By Frank Bowman

January OH was lHduSuTdl udy
and the 9th was democratic day,
the State Committee meeting
for organization of the demo-
cracy of the State for the cam
paigns two and four years hence.
From now till election a secre-
tary at a salary of S2,4OO a year,
will give his entire time to solidi-
flying the party from one end of
the state to the other. Hereto
fore the matter of organization
has been looked after only a
month or two before election,
but under the plan adopted,
when election time rolls around
everything will be in hand, and
this within itself spells old time
democratic victory,
Representative Hawes's good
road bill is No. 5 and is drawn as
per the requirements of the fed
eral road law under which gov
eminent aid is to be secured for
Missouri. It will pass, possibly,
just as handed in.
In the assignment of commit
tees Representative McNeel was
named on the following: Ways
and Means, Workmen's Compen-
sation, Public Schools and Text
Books, Militia and Normal
Schools, all five important COM
mittees, the Ways and Means
being one of the big ones.
Senator Elder has introduced
a bill to abolish "nepotism.'
Under the bill it is unlawful for
an official, to appoint or procure
the appointment of any relative
by affinity or consanguinity
within and including the fourth
degree. The punishment is a
fine of not less than $4,000 nor
more than $1,000 or imprison-
ment in the county jail not less
than ten days nor more than q
year. The law automatically for.
feits the office of any elective OF
appointive official guilty of nepo.
tism. 1t will die young.
Representative DUNN of ColC
lead off with the first bill, pro
viding for calling a special cleo
ton on Tues, June %, 1917, t,
take a vote upon the question o
having a constitutional conven
ton. If a convention is author
lied by the people, the bill pro
vides for the convention to b
held on Tuesday, Sept, a, 1917.
Representative Sprague of ST
Louis has introduced a bill re
quiring the face value in none,
to be printed or written on trad
ing stamps, good for redemptio
at any time. Those issuing trad
ing stamps are required to pa.
licenses of $1,000 a year. For
violation the fine is from $40 t
$500.
Gov. Gardner was down earl
the morning after his inaugurs
ton with his coat off and up
his eyes in work. Only urger
appointments will be made unit
the close of the session. This al
nouncement has thinned tt
army of Office seekers. Frol
what l see, my prediction is tina
Gov. Gardeners four years WI
be along business lines. My il
formation is that there are 24C
applicants now in file, twent.
seven of them from Lafayet'
County.
A bill providing a bounty
so cents for each hawk and ov
killed has been introduced.
Representative Chestnut h
offered a bill requiring owner
lessees and occupants of land
cut and remove brush, weec
ETC., along the public highway.
Representative Crumley has
bill to provide for a state schC
text book committee for the a
Ioot;oo Sc ,~,o;fo~oa o.4 H.

mlnlstratlon, part due TO IN
creased expenses at the several
state institutions and the re-
mainder from the abolishing of
convict labor at the penitentiary.
Up to two years ago the state
received rs cents per day per
man for more than 1000 con-
victs, their pay making the
penitentiary practically self
sustaining. This loss put an adj
ditional expense of half a mil
lion dollars a year or one million
dollars for the biennial period of
two years. Although idle the
convicts had to be fed, clothed,
ETC., at a dead expense to the
state. While expenses have in
creased, yet the rate Of taxation
has remained the same and not
one cent increase has been inn
posed on the taxpayers of the
state. Under Gov. Gardner this
increased expenditure debt will
be wiped out without being a
hardship on any taxpayer, the
bills looking to that end already
having been introduced and will
become operative on adjourn
ment of the legislation. Next
election the people will hear
nothing along the line of Mis-
souri, being a bankrupt, the main
campaign cry of the republicans
last election. Three cheers and
a tiger for Gardner and demo-
! cracy as a whole.
{ A bill as to the publication of
petitions for dramshop has been
: introduced. The bill requires
: that all petitions must be print
ed in, some newspaper at least
: five days before said petition is
e taken up by the court. 1t should
= become a law.
Senator Taylor has introduced
S a bill to set aside the order of the
Public Service Commission in.
creasing the 2 cent passenger
and freight rate laws. Th'
freight rate law was drawn W
/ by the late James C. McGrev
and Alexander Graves, and wa
O bitterly contested by the rail
' roads, but the United States Su
v preme Court decided the Law
! constitutional and was effectiv,
until an increase in rates to 2L
, cents was made by the Publ,
. Service Commission. There vii
:, be a bitter fight over the matte
= and expect the legislature to b.
flooded with petitions circulate,
by the railroads and that tn
% increase of 212 cent passenge
5 rate instead of 2 cents be effect
i've. The sentiment is to tur
II down the Public Service Com
III mission, and continue the 2 cen
y rate.
The first meeting of the join
committee of the Senate an
House selected to hear tn
:, Lamm contest was held Jan. 1.
:. At that meeting the Lamm a.
torneys admitted that they wei
! not certain as to the allegation
! of the petition as to the frau
= charged. This committee has
= right to determine whether
~ contest is brought in good faitl
g AS every one knows this conte.
is purely to make political CAPT
al for the campaigns two ar
~ four years hence. My predictiC
is the report will be that sue
was not brought in good fait
and the vote thereon will ]
+" strictly a party vote, whiC
means its death.
'oy | find there is quite a sent
ment to change the terms
e. county collector to one term
~ four years and out. If this
cd done there be great disappoir
ment to some ten prospect
