exploration of this territory was by
the French, Joliet and Father Mar
quette in 1878. French settlers grad
ually located in Missouri, in 1864 st.
Louis being settled This was one year
after Spain acquired from France the
Louisiana Territory of which Missouri
was part.
Colonization greatly increased after
the ordinance Of 1887, which excluded
slavery from the Northwest territory,
as this naturally detected many to the
territory west of the Mississippi who
otherwise would have settled in the
north. The slavery question continued
to hold the stage in Missouri history.
After the Louisiana Purchase in 1903
added this vast western area to the
United States, emigration increased to
such an extent that in 1929 Missouri
formed a state government and APP
piled for admission to the Union. Bit
ter antagOnism Immediately arose in
congress against the addition of an
other slave state. On the other hand
the slavery, adherents pointed out that
Maine had just been taken into the
Union as free state and one state
would therefore balance the other. A
final settlement was made by the ia
nous Missouri compromise, which ac-
cepted Missouri as a slave state but
prohibited slavery in the rest Of the
territory north Of line extending
from the southern boundary of Mis-
souri, to the Rocky Mountains. Indeed,
it was this agitation which, temporar-
Ally smothered at that time, burst forth
lin the Civil war.
Missouri is in the forefront Of the
important states in national politics
as it has eighteen electoral votes for
President. Its area is 69,420 square
miles. Those who have seen the Mis-
souri, river will appreciate the deriva-
ton Of the name which comes from the
Indian words missi-souri meaning
"great muddy"

PROPER DRAINAGE ESSENTIAL
Heavy Application Of Manure VIII Go
Long Way Toward Correcting Al.
kali Condition.

Drainage Is the most important fac
tor in alkaline soils In nearly all
cases. Good drainage Is an absolute
necessity in alkall correction. When
drainage is assured, heavy applica.
ton of horse manure will go long
way toward correcting the alkali con
dition. 1t may be necessary to apply
some fertilizer carrying large amounts
of potash. Corn Is not the best crop
to consider in handling alkaline soils
and oats or rye bring better results
until the soils are completely brought
back to normal conditions.

Gambetta's Eye Preserved.

Very few of the hundreds of spec
tators who have seen Gambetta's
heart carried in procession through
Paris know that another portion Of
his body is above ground. Long be-
fore his death one of his eyes was
so badly damaged by blow that 1t
had to be removed, says the CONT
mental edition of the London Mail. The
doctor who performed the operation
caused the eye to be specially treated
to preserve 1t. 1t was placed In a
small glass phlal, which the doctor
gave IN one Of his pupils.

in six years are in better physical con-
dition today than those that have
been cut regularly. Government agri-
cultural experts lean strongly toward
fewer crops of alfalfa a year, holding
that as large tonnage can be secured,
for example, with three as with four
cuttings, and with less labor. EN-
phasis is laid on the necessity Of leav-
ing time enough after the last harvest
to permit the plants to get a healthy
growth, approximately four inches, be-
fore frost.

SWEET CLOVER is SENSITIVE
Crop Seldom Makes Profitable Growth
on Acid Soil-Proper incubation
Important.

While 1t is claimed by some that
sweet clover will grow on almost any
kind of soil, 1t seldom makes a prof
liable growth on an acid soil. 1t is
one Of the most sensitive crops to this
condition. An application Of two tons
Of ground limestone or from two to
three cubic yards OF mari is usually
necessary to secure good crop on an
acid soil. Proper incubation Is I'm

necessary, and satisfactory results OBJ
tanned. One extensive guinea raiser
has confined as many as As hens and
IS males in an acre pen throughout the
breeding and laying season and been
successful. This pen is inclosed with
a wire fence five feet high, and the
birds are prevented from flying over
by clipping the flight feathers of one
wing. Within the pen is a grass pas
ture with bushes here and there where
the hens make their nests by scratch
ing out bowl-shaped hollow in the
ground. The winters being severe, a
roosting shed is provided, having a
cleated board reaching from the floor
to the roosts for the wing-clipped birds
to walk up.

sMsS% EsH age in 1000 by Left,
NYGS9MxsSlkW son Of Eric the
NExSS " Red, who sailed
- from Greenland to
Labrador and down the coast of
Maine. The next probable voyage to
this coast was by John Cabot In 1897
and later by his son Sebastian. 1t
was, however, Capt. John Smith, the
leading spirit of the settlement at
jamestown, who sailed as far north as
the Penobscot and first drew a rough
chart of it.
In the grant by James I to the Ply
mouth Colony Maine was included in
their territory. Opposition to the Ply
mouth Colony arose among the kings
courtiers and Sir Ferdinando GorgeS
and Captain Mason succeeded in OBJ
tanning for themselves rights to the
country between the Merrimac and
Kennebec rivers. This they divided,
Gorges taking the northern section.
Meanwhile Gorges had sent over
small colony to the mouth Of the Ken
nebec, but this settlement was soon
abandoned. The first permanent set
Element was made in 1925 at what is
now York. Massachusetts objected to
G0rgeS claim and finally annexed all
the territory up to Casco Bay and
called this northern section the Dis
trict OF Maine. Maine was dissatisfied
with the rule of the mother state and
by 1920 succeeded in being admitted
to the Union as the twenty-third state.
Maine was the first state to adopt
prohibition. In the beginning Maine
was strongly Democratic. It was
largely for this reason that she OBJ
jected to being ruled by Massachusetts
which was Federalist Since 1856,
however, Maine has been decidedly
Republican. 1t has six electoral votes
for President.
The name Maine was so designated
in the charter of 1889 in which Charles
I granted this land to Gorges. 1t had
already been commonly used by the
sailors as distinguishing the mainland
from the many islands along the shore.
The nickname for the state is the Pine
Tree State. It's area is 33,040 square
miles, which is practically as large as
New England States.
