for salary raises to ambassadors and ministers at foreign capitals Fifteen
ambassadors now receiving $1I5O0 annually would be raised by Lansing to
$4,000 each; three ministers would be raised from $4,000 to $4,000 and
twentynine ministers from $4,000 to $4,000.
AS compared to the salary of $4,000 allowed ambassadors at the chief

to cover same, Great Britain pays her ambassador to Italy $35O0 to Japan

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

, is poorly drained, low and damp, alsiae clover should be seemed. It is corn- mon practice now to mix the red clover with alsike for worn or partly rundown land Alsike likes lime, too, l but it will make crop on land that will not bring red clover. This is espe- 1 cially true if the soil is both sour and damp. Of course, soil can be so sour
 that even alsike will not grow. In such a case there is nothing for it but | to lime or to quit clover.
 9 On land that has lime but is other
 wise poor and lacks organic matter, | try sweet clover. It is no use sowing | this on sour soil. It won't thrive. But with lime it is about the best clover for poor land It will add organic
 matter and nitrogen and leave such. a i soil in better shape for the following crops. Sweet, clover seed is cheaper than red and in many cases a farmer could profitably substitute sweet clo-
 yer for red in the rotation.
 If farmers would take as much pains
 seeding clover as they do seeding a1-
 falfa, there would be fewer clover failures.
 I As a rule, red clover will not do well
 on land that is sour either naturally or because it has been so long, cropped
 that the lime in the soil has been used up. There are occasional exceptions. Clover has been known to do well on | land that had lime requirement. of MOO pounds an acre, but this land had
 been heavily nanured and fertilized. Usually clover wants soil that is neu-
 tral or nearly so. It is safe state
 ment that in most cases where clover I goes out or fails to make fair crop two tons of ground limestone an acre | would help a great deal In many
 cases this would make the ( f 'erenee
 between success and failure. In other
 cases lime may have to be supple mented with phosphoric acid or pot
 ash. The use of potash will not be
