Grain interests of Minnesota, realiz-

only chance OF the grain trust to have

in regard to the railroad rate law, on

Similar Bills introduced in. All

Repeal Of Primary Laws Creating
State constabuIary No Mere Co.
ineldence-PoIiticaI Control From
Outside Apparent.

St. Paul, Minn.-A striking feature
of the legislative sessions of 1919 in
the Northwestern states has been the
similarity of the bills that have been
introduced by reactionary legislators
In every Northwestern state, with
the sole exception Of North Dakota,
bills were introduced to go back to
the corrupt convention system of nOm-
mating candidates for Office, thus kill
ing the direct primary, for which the
people carried on battle for years.
In Idaho the bill repeating the direct
primary has been enacted into law
and signed by the governor. In Mime
sofa the bill has passed the lower
house, Governor Burnquist's forces
are urging its passage by the senate
and the governor stands ready to sign
it as soon as it is passed.
For ConstabuIary.
The governors of Minnesota, Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington. Colorado,
and Nebraska, with great unanimity,
all recommended the establishment of
state constabularies, thus continuing
militarism and giving employers a
powerful club to use In coercing en-
ployes in case of labor troubles. Min
nesOta and Idaho, which take the lead
in reactionary legislation, both have
approved the constabulary bills. 1t
is probable that they will be killed in
other states.
Red flag bills, criminal syndicalism
bills, drawn in similar language, have
also been introduced and passed in
most of the Northwestern states. Most
of these bills probably we're intended
by the men who introduced them, to
enable the authorities to put down law.
lessness, but many of them, notably
the so-called Minnesota red flag bill,
were drawn so as to prohibit farmers
organizations from showing any insig-
mia of their own. Some of the bills
gave such broad powers that they
could easily have been used by unfair
officials to bar any kind of action by
labor or farmers organizations during
a political campaign.
No Coincidence.
There is such a marked similarity
between the programs of the reaction
aries in the various states that It
can not be put down as a mere CO.
incidence. The evidence points unmis-
takably to a political control outside
of the Northwest, that has induced
all the governors to urge state con-
stabularies, that has sought to have
all the Legislatures deny the voters
the right to select their own candidates
and that has tried to use the name Of
patriotism to hoodwink the people.

Chicag0-UniOn labor in Illinois has

In the state at large, 354 locals de-

over the results. He declared 1t to be
a splendid victory for the cause Of

Raw Rock Phosphate Can Be Used
Profitabiy 70 Re-enforee Stable Ma.


Probably 20 Re.enforce Stable Ma
q ton in carload lots now at the mines.
For practical results, 1t is essential
that the raw rock be finely ground to
the extent that 80 per cent of the ma.
terial will pass through sieve having
100 meshes to the linear inch.
How to Spread.
Where the raw rock phosphate is
used as reinforcement for stable
manure, it may be spread at the rate
Of 80 to go pounds over each ton OF
manure as it is hauled from the barn
or stable yard to the fields. A much
better practice, however, is to compost
the rock with the manure for a period
of a month or more before spreading
Oh the fields. On account of its ad-
mirable absorptive qualities the raw
rock is used as an absorbent in dairy
stables. The common practice is to
spread about a pint Of the material
daily behind each COW in the stable.
Where green cover crop, such as
eowpeas or, soy beans, is to be turned
cnder, 1t is q valuable practice to
spread about 1000 pounds of raw-rock
phosphate an acre over the green stun
before the plowing is begun. Products
are developed during the decomposi'
ton of the organic matter which are
efficient in liberating the plant food
that is slowly available In the raw
rock. Where the raw-rock phosphate
Is applied in half-ton doses an acre to
q soil that is very rich In organic mat
ter the same beneficial results are
slowly notable as obtained where the
fertilizer is turned under with tho
green crop.
Best Form oS Acid.
The presence Of decaying organic
matter in the soil increases the ehec-'
tiveness Of raw, ground rock phos-
pilates due probably both to greater
bacterial activity and the higher con.
tent of carbon dioxide in such soils.
From a similar standpoint, the effec-
tiveness Of raw rock phosphate Is usu-
ally increased after remaining In the
soil for year or more. Most crops
respond more quickly to applications
Of acid phosphate than to bone. basic
Stag or raw-rock phosphate. Accord
lngly, where the early stimulation and
quick maturity Of the crop are the
main considerations, acid phosphate Is
probably the best form Of phosphoric
acid to apply.
The question Of whether increases
In. yield ordinarily can be produced
more economically by applications Of
soluble or relatively insoluble phos-
pilates, must be considered In o meas.
ure an Individual problem for each
farmer, since it depends on a number
Of factors of which the most important
are the nature of the soil. the crop
system employed, the price of the va
rious phosphates in each particular
locality and the length of the growing
season.
