that they would collect in piece-meal
what the joint committee would pro-
cure in the aggregate. And to this
should be added the acknowledged
fact that these committees for years
have existed in name only and for no
other purpose than to supply chair
manships and committee rooms and
clerks to senator's and representa-
tives who are deemed eligible for such
favors.
But, under the far-fetched assump-
ton that this argument has been
presented in good faith, we offer the
following suggestion:
Senator Charles E. Townsend, of
Michigan, Republican with seniroity
of service, is chairman of the Senate
committee on expenditures in the
War Department. He has two Re-
publican colleagues with him-Messrs.
Norris of Nebraska and Calder of
New York; but the majority of the
committee is made up of Democrats
Messrs. Thomas of Colorado, James
of Kentucky, Williams of Mississippi,
and Chamberlain of Oregon. Mr..
Thomas is now absent from the Sen
ate on a leave of absence granted on
account of i'll health. So the commit
tee, if it should assemble, would stand
three Republicans and three Demo-
Gratis.
We suggest, therefore, that Sena-
tor Townsend call his committee to-
gether and that he propose that they
devote themselves to examining the
manner in which the War Department
has been expxending the money for
the construction of the environments
which will house the new national
army.
We assume that Messrs. Norris and
Calder will at once agree to this.
What Messrs. James, Williams and
Chamberlain will do will at once dem
onstrate whether they have hitherto
the proposed joint committee
on practical or political grounds.
The experiment seems to us worth
trying.

WHEAT is PLANTED
TOO LATE BY MANY
FOR BEST RESULTS

East Lansing, Mich, Sept. 5.-Ear-
lier planting of wheat than has been
commonly practiced in Michigan is
desirable, say farm crops men of the
Michigan Agricultural college, who
add that in many instances growers
have heretofore been seeding their
grain too late.
"Those who have made close study
of Michigan wheat conditions agree
that there are large number of
Michigan farmers who seed wheat too
late" new wheat bulletin declares.
at is true that the Hessian fly must
be controlled, but many go to the ex-
IRENE to accomplish this result, and
seed at too late date to secure good
top before winter. Occasionally seed
ings made too early may be badly in
jured by the fly, but seeding at the
proper time will not only control the
fly but give sufficient time for a strong
growth before winter.
mo definite date can be set for all
Michigan. AS general rule, how
ever, wheat growers in the southern
half of the lower peninsula should
seed wheat from the 10th to the 25th
of September, in the northern half
of the southern peninsula from the
LIST to the 18th, and in the upper pen
insula from August 20 to September 5.
On good wheat soils in southern Mich
igan eight pecks per acre will give
better results than the usual seeding,
which is six pecks. Where seeded at
a late date, eight pecks is advisable
in all cases. Drilling will give bet
ter results than broadcasting since
the wheat is planted at more uni
form depth and more uniformly cover

MICHIGAN SOILS
NEED PHOSPHORUS
Study of Conditions in State, and
Work in Several Counties, Proves
Wisdom of Using Phosphate
Fertilizers.

East Lansing, Mich, Sept. s.
Most Michigan soils are deficient in
phosphorus, the plant food so neces-
sary for the successful growing Of
wheat, the soils department of the
Michigan Agricultural college has
learned through study of conditions
in several counties. Demonstrations
conducted on many farms in connec-
ton with this work, the department
reports, have proved that the supply
ing of this element in the shape of
acid phosphate and raw phosphate fer
tilizers gives good returns for the
money expended.
"In a recent trip through eastern,
central and western Michigan inspec-
ton revealed the fact that heads of
wheat on many fields are only about
half as we'll filled as they should be,
indicating deficiency of phosphorus
in the SOIL" DR.. M. M. McCool de-
clares. "The correctness of these OBJ
servations," he adds, "has been addi-
tionally borne out by the chemical
analysis of representative soil types
in Cass, st. Joseph, Lenawee, Wayne,
Ingham, Allegan, Manistee, Wexford,
and Newaygo counties. The results
have shown that soils in all of these
districts lack the necessary amount
of PHOSPHORUS.
"But to remove all doubt, actual
tests have been conducted in the field.
Remarkable returns from the appli-
cation of phosphates have been secur-
ed by the soils department of the
college, by means of field culture ex-
periments on Cass, Van Buren, and
Kent county.

RUTH LAW TO MAKE
AEROPLANE FLIGHTS

With 365 stellar attractions the West
Michigan State Fair, Sept. 1921
promises to set a, pace which will
place the Grand Rapids exposition in
class by itself. Among the big free
attractions will be Ruth Law, the
aviatrix who flew from Chicago to
New York last fall and who recently
returned from France where she spent
the winter flying with the French
aviators at the allied front and over
Paris.
Another big free attraction will be
the "March Of the Allies" monster
patriotic spectacle depicting the
progress of democracy and the battle
fields of Europe. There will be more
than hundred handsomely decorat-
ed floats representing the allied ma
tions, bands, detachments of troops,
jackies, veterans of other wars, patri-
otto societies and human flag 100
feet long. The steel tanks which
have Mortified the Teutons will crawl
over the battlefield at the fair and
other features will be added to make
the scene realistic.
Other big features include the Hol-
land Village, $4,000 scenic produc-
ton depicting the scenes, life, cos
tunes and activities of the lands of
the dykes, a monster three ring Hip
podrome circus with $50 performers
and attendants, Allied Bazaar, kite
flying contest, day light fireworks,
automobile races, joy zone, canning
contests, livestock judging contests
and a public auction sale where fair
visitors may sell anything from a
farm or automobile to a pair of shoes
or neck tie.
The agricultural department which
has always been the main feature of
the fair offers $4,000 in premiums,
the largest amount ever offered by
fair in the middle west. $1,000 of
this amount will be awarded to the
farmers producing the largest yields
per acre, quality considered. There
will be more cattle, horses, poultry.

that the West Michigan State Fair
already holds the record for the great

any fair in the central state.

WHAT is OUR LIMIT OF CREDIT?

Imports of gold into this country
since we became belligerent total
$214 100000. And the entire amount
of gold brought in since the war in
Europe began is $1,677, 100000. The
The Journal des Debats, an influential
Partisan newspaper, now tells us that
we can expect no more gold from
Europe, that we must ask for no more
that our position as nation at war
with Germany compels us to furnish
to our European allies all the credits
they may require, and that we shall
be held ungenerous and slackers if we
fail in this regard. Simultaneous
with this the British Parliament is
discussing fiscal legislation which in
dicates purpose to seek billion and
a quarter of dollars from America.
All this points to a condition where
our legislators and financiers should
be seeking an understanding, between
themselves and with the governments
of our allies-to say nothing of the
people of the United States. There
must somewhere be a limit to our
ability to produce money, whether for
our own use or for that of our allies.
If prices are to be regulated, profits
production diminished and
taxation ncreased-while at the same
time we are to be drained in credit for
the benefit of European nations with
whom we stand-what will the end
be? The time to consider these prob
lens is now, before conditions have
become acute; and not after futile
trial of vague expedients has depleted
all our productive capacities.
