Islington Dee -Special
Th resolution introduced by
Congressman Xcris providing
that all caucuses held in the
hous p chamber are to be open to
public is to have a hearing
befcre the rules eoium jWco at am
date according to Congress

mtt on rules to which the res
olution was referred Mr Ilen

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

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

ment I would join it 11 I
thought a new party would be
more effective I would form it

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

Drop Pi educing Power of Soil is Decidedly Increased Through
Proper Applications of Stable Manure
By
P B Barker Assistant 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 poor
m nrgeme t of the manure
anv c have been con
ducted I eirfiriment stations compar
ing the f rtllzor effects of farm ma
nure crii rn vncrcal fcitilizcrs and
the cciif - of opinion seems to be
thrt r - t of socd manure com
pare vf r c ftLIy with the very best
comsnert UrtPrrs
The en nr power of the
sol is d ciVfy incre sed as a usual
thing thioiah proper applicctions of
good manie Of courso the 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

others of the older countries

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
