Tho resolution has already passed tho senate. The amendment, thua Initiated by con gress, must be ratified by three fourths of the state legislatures before It will becomo law. Tho resolution, as modified by the senate, on motion of Senator Brls tow, provides for fedoral supervision, of the senatorial elections. This pro Vision was fought by members from tho south, led by Representative Bnrt ,lett of Georgia, who held that federal Interference would lead to a return of carpet bagging. As passed the resolution is as follows: That In lieu of the first paragraph of section 3 of article 1 of the Con stitution of tho United States, and In lieu of so much of paragraph two of the same section as relates to the till ing of vacancies, tho following be pro posed as an amendment to the Con stitution, which shall be valid to all Intents and purposes aa part of the Constitution when ratified by the leg islatures of three-fourths of tho states.

The electors In each state shall have the quallflca-. tlons requisite for electors of tho most numerous branch of tho state legislatures.

Tho majority of the state logisla-i ,tures meet next January and each .will probably act on tho amendment, as speedily as possible In tho casesi of other states there will be no legls-; .laturcs for another year so it will be at least two years before the voters 'will have an opportunity to go to the jpolls and vote for a senatoras they would for a congressman, even if rati .flcatlon Is prompt and gonoral.

COM REOUIHEIEIT PARTICULARLY AS TO THE NEEDS OF MOISTURE. RESULTS OF SEVERAL YEARS They Indicate that Best Growth Is Secured When There Is 60 Per Cent of Water. Tho NebrnBka Experiment Stntlon has Just Issued Bulletin No. 128, on "Studios In Water Requirements of Corn." A brief report 1b mado on re sults secured In past yoars, which havo horotoforo been published. Results Indicate that tho beat growth Is secured when tho soil con tains about GO por cent of tho water It could hold If saturated. Soil that Is too wet gives decreased ylcldB. It wan also found that the amount of water required from day to day by growing corn varies with wenthor con ditions, and In very much tho Banio way as evaporation from tho surface of a tank; also tho greater tho leaf area tho greater tho water require ment. In 1911, corn wnB grown In two greenhouses, In ono of which tho air was dry, just na tho natural outeldo air. In tho other tho nlr waB artific ially kopt humid. Tho plant required twice as much water to mako a pound, of dry weight In 'the dry greonliouso as It did In tho humid groonhoUso, In dicating that in a dry cllmnto llko Ne braska tho water requirement for growing crops Is very high as com pared with a humid cllmnto. It was found that In tho year 1011 It took 345 pounds of water to mnko ono pound of dry weight in corn, whllo in 1910 it took only 2E0 pounds. ThlB wac dun to tho tact that! tho air' was much drier in 1911. So oven with equal rainfall, In cortaln yenrs the water re quirement's very much higher than In others. Soils of thrco degrees- of fertility woro usod, and these same soils were each fertilized with sheep manure In n second scries. It was found that tho more fertile a soil the lesBwnter required- to produce a pound of dry weight, and that tho adding of manure decreases tho water requirement ex cept In tho most fertile soils. Thlt would Indicate that manuring boIIb low in fertility wl give a gratpr yield for 'Ktvl3rquftntffyfwnte, but if tho soils aro sufficiently tortile tho ndditton of. manure will probably havo llttlo or no effect.

Flvo constitutional amendments, says tho Lincoln Journal, will bo pre sented to tho voters this fall, each en ,lii l i, i,o(h (j,, !( iwiijttaftl par tlos and each a part of tholr tickets, heuco each have tho credit of all straight votes that may bo cast by mombora of the party. Since Usually at least 25 per cent of all tho votos cast at a general election are what is known as "etralght votes" tho ad vantage to Uio amendments by being ondorsod at tho primary la not a small Horn. Although tho entire vote of tho state has not boon reported to tho secretary of Btato enough Is known to allow tho statement that tho amendment which received loast popular approval, home rulo for cities of moro than 5,000 population, wns on. dorccd by about two to ono, whllo tho most popular, tho lnltlatlvo and tho referendum, was oudorsed by flvo to ono or moro. The provisions of tho presont laws of tho stato which allows n party to ondorso an amondment at tho primary and count it thoreaftor as a part of tho straight ballot, is a section in the primary law passed in 1907. Somo fenr was expressed during tho last legis lature that those hontllo to tho lnltla tlvo and roforendiun who sought to kill it by mutilating It out of all ef fectiveness, would seok to ropoal tho provision of tho primary law which will bo responsible for its adoption in November. This wns not dono, and so far as known was not openly, con sidered. Tho legislature of 1907 was not re sponsible for tho law which allows straight votes to bo counted for an on. dorocd amendmont An act was passed In 1901 beforo a direct primary was ovon considered, which gavo political parties permission in stato convontion to endorse a proposed amendment and to havo nil straight votes in that par ty counted for it Prior to that many amendments had been 6ubinitTt.il by tho loglslaturo nnd all defeated bo causo of tho clauso in tho stato consti tution which required a majority of all votes cost in tho election to bo cast favorably on tho amondmont. A vote not recorded "on tho amondmont was counted against it undor thiB pro vision of tho constitution. In 1905 tho loglslaturo submitted nn amondment to provide for tho state railway commission. This amendment was endorsed by tho conventions of lKuti and in the fall of tho year tun amondment was adopted, and at tho Etrmo time throe commissioner wero elccuTvisibffiTrJT-trfit is; thoy" woro to servo if tho amendment car ried. It 1b charged by thoso who oppose the provision of tho law which allows straight votca to ho counted for nn amendment, tlutt the supreme court upheld tho makeshift "la ordor that tho salaries of the members thereof might be boosted Gubsoquontly 'by on othor amondmont. History does hot boar out this assortlon. Tho constitu tionality of ,tho election of tho first three commissioners was tested in a friendly suit, and decided by tho su premo court in February, 1907. In that opinion tho court hold that the counting of straight votes for an amondment as provided by law undor certain conditions was not a violation of tho constitution, t Pardoned Convict Marries.
