stated tliat the resolution wo aid liave been given a hearing before but for the fact fthat a jmjmbpr of members interested in it Vere out of the city and it was desired to have a full eommil tee when the matter comes up Mr Norris said today that he had no doubt that the resolution would be ultimately adapted The situation to which the resolution calls attention he said is similar to most of those in wJiicli the insurgents have A New York dispatch says that Colonel Roosevelt is not talking Help The colonel must be ill y Isnt it en the face of it just a bit absurd df not hypocritical to select men for political ap pointments perforce of their po litical usefulness and then to prahibi tthem from political act ivity and financial assistance Especially when they are expect ed to and do both anyhow If I did not believe the Repub lican party was the best instru ment for getting control into the hands of the people I would leave it If I bleieved the Dem ocratic party was a better instru ment I would join it 11 I thought a new party would be more effective I would form it But I think the Republican par ty is the best instrument there ds Senator LaFollette j j We are being regaled these days with stories more or less clever and less and more sitale of standpatters and near stand patters of progressives and near progressives of persons being read in and out of the party and of

what thev would not dare to do in pub lie Mr Norris stated further that he proposed to bring the resolu tion to a vote as soon as possible in view of the impending tariff fight in which the matter of caucuses will be vital In order to render it effective he said dt should be made operative now rather than when the fight is on in full blast Lincoln Journal Must Not Be Too Active Washington Dec 31 Several thousand rural free delivery car riers are barred from active par trjcrpaition in politics by an order signed by President Taft today The order forbids the carriers from ipemieious activity in poli tics and empowers the civil ser vice commission to dismiss those found so engaged The rural iree carriers like other postoffice employees are not to be denied the right of po litical belief and discussion but their active partieation will be stopped TERMS OF COURT For 1912 Fourteenth Judicial District of Nebraska Judge E B Perry lias desig nated Hie following daites for court in this

Professor and Acting Head of Department of Instructional Agronomy University of Nebraska people realise the value of FEW manure as a fertilizer One ten of average fresh stable manure is worth 200 that is to say it contains plant food elements which are worth that amount If the larmer should buy in the foim of com mercial fertcl crs the plant food ele ments contained in cm ton of good fresh manure they would cost abo t 200 One hundred tons of manuie is worth 200 at this rate Many faro ers have several hundred dollaia worth of manure about their barn sheds and feed lots going to waste for according to good authority a loose unprotected manure pile will lose sixtv per cent of its value in six months time This means that hun dreds of dolars are lost each year from mar farms because of

manure must be thoroughly incorporated with harmful to the first crop especially if the season is rather dry The late of application also depends upon the con dition of the manure as to whewc r it is verj strawy or thoroughly compost ed for a season or two The maiurc in all instances should be appliec as uniformly as pcssble for best results In order to get the very best results fcm manure it should be well crHi tor and applied in a gc rA moist i or - abOiit the time that the land is bcuj prepared for the ciop If one desires the beneficial effect fo be gained by increasing the bacterial con tent of the soils the manure must be thoroughly incorporated with the soil by disking immediately after it is ap plied It may be well to mention at this time the other two icacons for ap plying manure to the land namely to improve the physical condition of the soil and to increase the quantity of the available plcnt food The very best way of handling ma nure is by storing it in some sheltered place forking it over once or twice a jeai and keeping it in compact moist condition This well preserved manure is applied at the time the seed bed is being prepared and thoroughly incor porated with the surface soils imme diately after applying it to the land This method is used in France and others of the older countries una in m I zy - - - - t - S A lrv GPREADING MANURE ON UNIVERSITY FARM the soil by disking before plowing etc for best results especially the first year after such application The use of manure in regions of rather light rainfall is a difficult prob lem and as a usual thing these soils are more in need of organic matter than are the soils in more humid re gions Such soils are apt to be in need of organic matter more than any one thing to increase the water holding ca pacity and prevent blowing of the soil The secret of using manure in regions of rather light rainfall is in making rather light and frequent applications The rate of manure applications varies with the soil rainfall and soil manage ment for if the manure is to be thor oughly incorporated in tho upper eight inches of soil more can be applied than would be the case if it is to be mixed only with the upper two or three inches of the surface soil Then again the amount to be applied de pends upon the condition of the soil for if the ground tills easily it will be readily mixed with the soil while on the other hand if it plows up very rough and cloddy it will be a different matter to thoroughly mix the organic matter with the soil without being This method is not applicable to Ne braska conditions generally speaking Probably the best means of handling the manure on Nebraska farms is by hauling the fresh manure directly to the fields and spreading it on the land very thir and as even as possible The dressings should be applied to all fields although the ones nearest the farmstead are usually apt to receivo more frequent applications because they are handier The rate of application depends up on many features but under eastern Nebraska conditions eight tons per acre is probably the quantity to apply on the average farm as now managed Many are making heavier applications but are using a great deal of care in mixing the organic matter throughly with the upper seven or eight inches of soil Truck gardeners are applying larger quantities with good results It is safer to make lighter and more frequent applications in case of doubt and observe results for future applica tions on each soil type The purpose of this article is to call attention to the great value of farm manure for increasing the crop pro ducing power of soils in general Semi Weekly TriBiiile 150 per Year I s TT i mJbot w T stis is a queer time to talk about spring clothes
