Minnesota TO
Make Experiments
PHOSPHATE DISTRIBUTED BY
COUNTY AGENTS; NEED is
GREAT.

The county agents of Minnesota
have been meeting in various groups
during the last few weeks to exchange
ideas and line up what seems to them
and their constituents to be the most
worthwhile projects for their atten-
ton the coming year. The writer met
with the two groups at Mankato and
OwatOnna.
One thing of especial interest was
Dr. Always review of the fertilizer
experiments for Southwestern Min
nesota. The legislature appropriated
small sum for this test in south
western counties of the state, and
DIR. Away explained the plan as fol-
lows: Since. there is little need OF
lime in this part of the state, and
since the soil is fairly rich in nitro
gen or can be readily supplied
through legumes Glover and alfalfa)
the main element that might be lack
ing is phosphate.
Taking the. territory from Jackson
west and then north to Madison on
highways Is and 10, demonstration
plots will be established with ali
clover and alfalfa fields. Each plot
will be four square rods, and phos-
plate at the rate of 100 pounds per
acre will be applied. The phosphate
for this little plot will cost the far
mer five cents, the exact carlot rate.
Any increase in yields will be check
ed and measured, showing just what,
if any, is the value of phosphates IN
this region.
The phosphate will be distributed
by the county agents in the various
counties. They will also have some
for any others not living on these
roads, providing they are interested
to call up the agent and arrange for
it. We understand that other agents
not lin this district can also get a
supply of phosphate if they want to
carry on similar projects on their
own account.
DR.. Away stated that every time
a farmer sells one steer he sells $50
pounds of phosphate in the bones of
the animal. The only way ne could
prevent an ultimate deficiency of phos-
phate in the soil would be TO remove
all the bones before selling the amin
ais, which of course is impossible.
AS proof of this he cited the case
of the L. E. Potter farm at Spring
field, Minnesota, where plenty of
clover and alfalfa have always been
raised and where all the grain, and
forage have been fed on the farm to
beef cattle for years. Yet with an
addition of phosphate to fields of
clover that would ordinarily be called
good ones, a marked improvement
was seen.-W. J. Corwin in st. Paul
Farmer.

1920 without doubt caused certain of
the party leaders to become careless.
The natural result which we witness
today following automatically. This
is merely in accordance with the eter-
nal law of Action and Reaction.
Moreover these present developments
at Washington were foreshadOwed
directly by the overwhelming election
figures when published four years ago.
But anything, even an investigation,
can be overdone.
''There never was a bough which
could not be broken and the breaking
point in this situation has been reach
ed. If the enemies of the administra-
ton carry it any further, they will
have obtained.
People have been willing that the
fight should go on so long as their
pocket-books have not been touched;
but when sales begin to fall off, orders
are cancelled, factories are closed and
men are thrown out of work because
of this undertaking then there comes
a reaction. The Democrats are likely
to suffer from this same law which is
causing the Republicans to sweat to-
day. The investigating committees
have already accepted testimony
which every court in the land would
have thrown out. The unsubstantiat-
ed stories of comparatively unknown
individuals have been accepted as the
truth and have been broadcast thru
the newspapers to the great mass of
our people. When the case reaches a
point where the only testimony Con-
gress can take must come from ex-
train robbers and men and women If
more or less uncertain standing a re-
action may be expected. The public
is heartily sick of this business and
trade is beginning to suffer.
Business is Sensitive.
''We little realize" concluded Mr..
Babson, "what a sensitive machine
business has become. Little things
make men cheerful and slight changes
cause them to become cautious. The
attitude of men toward life, whether
they are hopeful or discouraged, is a
great factor in determining the inn
mediate business outlook. The major
changes in the commercial world can
be forecast with accuracy, IS these
movements depend upon economic
law and the position of certain funda-
mental business barometers. But
what is to happen during the mex.
few months will depend very largely
upon the confidence or the lack OF
confidence displayed by the American
public. Immediate business will de-
pend upon whether men are actuated
by faith Or by fear.
eff Congress is trying to throw the
country into business depression, it
is going about it in the right way.
If, however, Congress is truly interest
ed in lettering American conditions
it will turn from the diversing pas
time of besmirching the character of
anyone connected with the opposite
political party and will pass the Tax
Reduction Bill and enact other con-
structive legislation. Already the
index of the Babsonchart rejecting
general business activity has fallen
to per cent below as compared with
2 per cent above normal few weeks
ago."

legislative experts of the body. His
general legislative record has been :
most excellent one. Report, July 20,
1918, Legislative Voters League.
"His record in the Legislature and
III the Constitutional Convention was
noteworthy. He possesses many ex-
cellent qualities which commend him
for judicial Office. We consider him
well qualified. "-Report, October Is,
1928, on qualifications Of candidates,
for Judges of the Superior Court Of
Cook county, by Committee, Chicago
Bar Association.
Some Of the outstanding facts in
relation to his friendship for the
colored people and right and justice
are these: AS member Of the Legs
lature Of this state he was very active
in his support of Hon. Robert R.
Jackson's bill to suppress the Birth
Of a Nation" and voted for his bill
as chairman of the Judiciary Commit
tee Of the lower House at that time
and he greatly assisted to kill off all
the vicious legislation aimed at the
colored race.
AS one Of the foremost members
of the Constitutional Convention he
was the author Of the following provi-
sion in Bill Of Rights in the new con
stitution that laws shall be apple
able alike to all citizens, without re-
gard to race or color"
At ali times he had the manly
courage to stand shoulder to shoulder
with Hon. Edward H. Morris in every
movement he made to protect the civil
and the political rights of the colored
people in the grand old state Of Iii
nois.
On November s, 1923, Judge De
Young, with a large majority at bis
back, was elected one Of the new
judges of the Superior Court of Cook
county for six years and at that time
he was highly endorsed by the Chi
cago Bar Association, the Lawyers
Association Of Illinois and the Better
Government Association Of Chicago
and Cook county.
Making long story real short, he
will on Monday, June 2, be elevated
to the bench Of the highest court in
this state and he viii make an ideal
Associate Justice Of the Supreme
Court Of Illinois.
