It Is, as a rule, impossible to tell
from the appearance or the odor OF a
fertilizer whether 1t contains large
amount Of valuable ferulizing In
gradients or only a small amount.
There is, therefore. strong tempta-
ton for irresponsible parties to make
and sell inferior or even worthless
goods as standard fertilizing articles
so much so, that it has been found
necessary in all states where the fer
tilizer business has grown to be of
any Importance, that the state should
in some way supervise their sale. Laws
regulating the sale Of commercial fer
tilizers are at present In force In near
~ every state In the Union.

Frequently, medium red clover con-
tinues in a field for some time, partly
owing to the termination of old seed
which had lain dormant the first sea-
son, and partly because Of new seed
shattered out of the growing plants. 1t
is never safe to depend upon this, so
most farmers pillow up the field after
the second season.
Medium red clover cut about June
10 or 20 in southern and central Wis
cOnSin will mature a crop of seed late
in August or early in September. Glow
er for seed is harvested in several
ways, but mower with a clover wind
rover attachment is the preferred
method. Hulling is done after it has
gone through the Sweating" process.
At the Marshfield demonstration sta
ton in Wood county, medium red clov-
er gave a yield of one and quarter
tons of cured hay the first cutting, and
three and a half bushels of seed the
second crop. At $40 a ton for hay
and Sill bushel for clover seed, this
gave an approximate return of over
$50 an acre.
Glover Seed in proportion to it's
value, costs far less to market than
the ordinary farm crops, such as tim
Othy hay, barley, and potatoes. Grow
ing it does not exhaust the soil fertility
like the growing of the other crops
mentioned. In growing red clover for
seed, however, the largest yields are
obtained when the first cutting is har-
vested early, about June Is.
Medium red clover is adapted to al
most any well drained soil, not sub
ject to overflow and not decidedly acid
in character. With it's adaptebility to
short rotations with corn and cereals,
and the wide range of soil types in
which it will flourish, it is no wonder
that Badger farmers look upon Red"
Trifolium as the best all around men,
Der of that large and useful family.

This is the last of a series of ar
ticles by the staff correspondent of
The Day Book on Governor LoWden's
commission consolidation bill.

Springfield, March Last but not
least OF the departments in Cover
nor LOwden's commission cOnsOlida-
ton bill is the department of regis
tratiOn and education.
If opposition arises to the act after
it becomes a law such antagOnism
probably will be backed by those pro-
fessiOns included in the department
of registration and education
1t was this department that was
separated from the department of
public health and combined with the
department of education. The bill
specifically states that the director of
the department of registration and
education shall not be a member Of
any Of the professions. Some OppO-
sitiOn to this department was aTOus-
ed by this clause but the main oppO-
sitiOn may arise after the bill be-
comes effective and examinations are
held by the new department. Only
a test will prove whether or not this
department is a success.
The duties of the department of
registration and education, are:
1. To exercise the rights, powers
and duties vested by law in the board
of education of the State Of Illinois,
the board Of trustees. of the Southern

TAXATION.

There will never be real, genuine
tax reform in Tennessee until the con-
,titution is changed. The legislature
should be permitted to levy an income
tax as well as a general property tax.
Something of this kind is attempted
In reaching certain classes OF personal
property. bnt it Is extremely doubtful
I the results will be any very mate
-ial increase in the receipts Of the
state. Unquestionably the tax COM
mission which drafted the proposed
assessment law gave to the subject
more thorough and earnest considera-
ion than any similar body has ever
yiven to the question Of taxation in
Tennessee. It condemns the old prop
rty tax as being unscientific and in.
,quitable and these charges are true.
Gut hampered as the commission has
been by the present organic law 1t
could not recommend the changes that
he sense of justice and fairness OF
he members dictated.
AS to whether or not it would be ad-
disable to attempt to assess all prop.
,rty upon an actual cash basis, that Is
It the figure at which 1t would sell at
fair voluntary sale, is open to ques-
ion. It is now assessed in the whole
tate at not more than two-fifths of its
actual value. Probably the attempt
20 increase the basis to the actual
value would result in reaction. II
night be better to 60 at the matter
more gradually. 1t is going to be Q
Iifficult matter to find tax officials
who will, no matter what the law
make so radical a change. It has
been suggested that during the frs
| two years it would be better to make
fifty per cent of actual value the basis
This might come nearer getting uni
form assessment than the actual value
basis.
