THE DECLINE TN
CLOVER CULTURE
By The American Farmers Threatens
To Be Serious, The Department
OF Agriculture Advises.
Associated Press

WASHINGTON, March 15-Decline
in clover culture by American farm
ers seems to have gone SO far as to
threaten to be serious and for the
good of the nations corn and wheat
crops it is time to get the land back
into clover, the Department of Agri-
culture advises. Productiveness OF
lsnd under corn and wheat decreases
most rapidly. Rotation of crops is
earnestly advocated by experts who
say the most important is corn
wheat-clover, with oats in place OF
wheat where corn occupies the land
too long to permit seeding wheat in
time.
Experiments show that in continu-
Gus culture for 20 years, the yield
fell from 924 bushels as an average
for the first ten years to 5.79 bush
els for the second ten years, while in
a 3-year corn -wheat-clover rotation
the yield of wheat rose from 9.92
bushels in the first ten years to 1878
bushels in the second decade.

NORTH DAKOTA
FACES UNIQUE
Situation OF Presidential Preference
Primary Tomorrow With But One
Candidate catered
Associated Press

BISMARK, N. D., March 15-N orth
Dakota faces the unique situation Of a
Presidential preference primary on
March 16 with but one candidate en-
tered. Senator Hiram W. job son
stands alone in the field. Intra-par-
ty delegation contests, pivotiEg about
the Non-Partisan League, constitute
the chief barbed wire entanglem ents
on the voters battlefield.
Major General Leonard Wood and
Governor Frank 0. Lcwde /, cf Illi-
nois, refrained from filing Tor ma
ations in this state after second Re-
upblican State convention had voted
that delegates to the national conven-
tion should go uninstructed.
William Jennings Bryan withdrew
his name as democratic candidate
leaving the California Senator a chal-
lenger without opposition.
The primary is to elect for each
party a national committeeman, five
presidential electors and ten national
convention delegates.
There is considerable speculation in
political circles as to whether the re-
publican delegates elected will be
bound to vote for Senator Johnson at
the Chicago convention. Under the
state law the delegate takes an oath
that he will to the best of his judg-
ment an liability, faithfully carry out
the wishes of his political party as
expressed by the primary.
For the first time in this state, wo-
men will vote for presidential elect
ors out, under ruling of the state
supreme court, cannot vote for dele
gates to the national conventions al
though the state may be represented
in those conventions by women dele
gates, one of whom has been nomina-
ted by each parry.

C; .noidacy Is Fof.M BY
Launched In Horn
State Of Nebr4kA
BY REPUBLICANS
OF THAT STATE
He Will Accept Nominal
ton If Choice Of
The People.

LINCOLN, Nebraska, March 10
Special-John J. Pershing's candidacy
for Presidential nomination on the re-
publican ticket was formally launch
ed here today when a voters petition
signed by nearly 5000 Nebraskans
asking that his name be placed on the
primary ballots April 20, was filed
with the secretary of state and ac-
cepted as legally sufficient.
Signatures attached to the petition
represent practically every county in
the state and include hundreds of ex-
service men and a large number of
women, who will vote for the first
time in Nebraska at the coming cleo
ton. Only 100 signers from each of
the six cong essionSl districts are
needed to accompany the nomination
petitions according to the 1917 prim-
ary law in Nebraska.
The Pershing organization announ-
ced that large numbers of additional
from all parts of the state and that
an additional block of signatures may
be added to those filed today. The
final date for filing in Nebraska is
March 20 and candidates are not re-
quired to file an acceptance. Hiram
Johnson and Leonard Wood are the
only other candidates who have enter
ed Pershing's home state.
At the time of filing the petition
Mark w. Woods, chairman of the
Pershing organization, gave out a
statement in which he said, General
Pershing will accept the nomination
il ne is the choice of the people He
has, however, refused to personally
seek this honor.
''The country looks upon Nebraska
as a pivotal state which will indicate
the western sentiment. l am confident
the majority he will receive In Ne
braska primaries will be so great that
the country will have no cause to
doubt that the nomination of Perish
ing will insure a republican victory.
