Experiment With Rotation.
Another experiment with crop ro-
tation is being started this year.
These are designed especially for
the Kankakee valley and the effects
on the fertility OF the land when
crop yields viii be studied. These
rotations are: Corn. SOY beans. oats!
mixed clover and timothy; corn,
corn. oats. clover and timothy;
corn, oats. clover and timothy. and
corn, wheat, clover and timothy
These are the usual rotations prac-
ticed in that part Of the state. The
experiment is designed 20 find which
Is the best. The rotations are to
be studied on Il acres OF land which
is divided into one-acre strips. The
land on which each rotation is used
is a miniature farm with one-acre
fields on which the crops are rota-
ted in regular order. The crops in
the different rotations will receive
similar fertilizer and cultural treat
ment so that any differences that
may appear will be due 20 the rota-
ton.
Farmers in the northwest part of
the state are especially interested
in the farm and the work being con-
Quoted there. Several officers OF
Laporte and Porter county farmers
associations met at the Pinney-
Purdue farm recently with Director
G.. l. Christie md other men from
agricultural experiment stations 70

had been done which was TO be
taken up 10 make Il OF the most

OF the state. Plans were laid for a
series Of field meetings 20 be held
at the farm during the next two
years 10 acquaint the farmers with

fit and 10 give them the results Of

try to assist the anti-tuberculosi sis
campaign. This philanthropy diff
fers from many others, in that it
seeks to remove the causes of a
great evil.
tuberculosis causes more fatal
results than any other disease,
there beig 10000 deaths from this
disease in this country during the
last year reported.
The anti-tuberculosis move
ment holds health classes and nu-
triton clinics. 1t builds up the
health of children and young peo-
pie so that they are not SO likely
to fall victims of this plague. 1t
distributes information on how
tuberculosis can be guarded

and a necessary measure of self
protection and and as such

COVERNMENT ECONOMIEs,

The economy program under the
director of the budget bureau, it IS
reported, is already bringing tangible
results. The books of the treasury
department show the operating ex-
penses OF the government for August
were sSO.OOO,0OO less than during
July despite an increase of $7,000.000
in payment of public debt and one of
$4,000, 000 in payments to railroads
under the government guarantee.
OF even more interest is the show
ing OF savings made in running the
government during JUL and August.
Some of the largest items Of reduc-
ton are: War department. $685.
2S6; treasury department. $7,76O, $40;
department of commerce, $4,1S7, 1852.
Secretary Hughes operated the state
department during these two months
for s31S,S5O less than his predecessor
in corresponding months last year.
The department of justice made a
saving of $12O,34O. 1t cost $91,soS
less to run the White House executive
offices in July and August than under
Wilson in July and August last year.
The expenses of running the White
House this year will be approximately
s21e.sOO. This sum includes the pres
ident's salary of $4,000; $4,000 for
office expenses. consisting Of a per
sonnet of approximately forty clerks
twenty secret service men, messengers
and stenograRhers and a score of 9th
er items such as kilograms, telephones
stationeryR, etc; $4,000 for contin.
gencies and $4,000 for travelling ex
penses.

Men have made women liars by
