CONGRESSMAN LOGAN'S BILL MAY BECOME LAW (By A. D. Fairbairn) Washington, D. C., March 13. Congressman Turner Logan's bil which would iw enacted into law, sc change the practice in the Federa courts as to make it conform as near ly as possible to methods and rules prevailing in State tribunals, has th< support of a majority of the members of the Judiciary Committee of the House of Reprdentatives. Of course every member of this committee is a lawyer and appreciate the value of a judicial system which will make oro cedure and practice uniform. Chairman Volstead said he woul< not allow the bill to die of inanition but after the committee gives it due consideration he would make an ef fort to get it on the floor o fthe ]louse Mo. Volstead said the simIlificatior of legal practice in these busy times is a national necessity. He declared that under the present conflicting rules it is almost necessary that a lawyer who wants to practice in both the Federal and State Courts be equipped with a "dual legal educa. tion." Mr. Logan in his speech to the Ju. diciary committee called attention to the fact that in 1872 an act was pass ed requiring uniformity of procedure but this act has become a dead letter and the Federal Courts are still an chored to antiquated ideas of prac tice. "To go from the State Courts to the Federal District Courts of South Carolina is like going before a fore ign tribunal." Mr. Logan told thc committee. "This causes much em barrassment to the lawyer, no matter how brilliant he may be, whose prac tice is almost entirely confined to the State courts. Time is an important factor in litigation. It takes a law yer unused to practice in the Federal courts quite a long while to acquaint himself with all the methods prevail ing in what to him is a totally new legal atmosphere." The chief featiers of the Logan bill are that the Federal judge in all cases, civil or criminal, be required to have the testimony of the witnesses taken down by a stenographer, that juries be drawn, impaneled and lists published in harmony with the prac tice prevailing in the State courts and that the charge by the Judge shall be such as will correspond with the practice in State tribunals.

WELLS, Mr. Loggn complained that in com menting on the evidence or interpret ing it to the jury, the Federal Judge often became the arbitor of the facts instead of leaving that duty to the "twelve good men and true." The author of the bill said the mat ter was of national importance. It was of interest to every lawyer and every actual or potential litigant in the United States. It was necessary to make practice uniform. This would make it less expensive to litigants and would result in more prompt de cisions. Congressmen Hickey, of Indiana and Graham, of Pennsylvania com mented favorably on the bill. Mr. Hickey said Mr. Logan had perform ed a service of high value by bring ing the matter to the attention of Congress and the country. le would give hte bill his hearty support. Mr. Graham was equally cordial in his in dorsement of the measure. FERTILIZER EXPERIMENTS Clemson College, March 13.-Ex periment Station Bulletin 209, "Fer tilizer Experiments," has been issued by the South Carolina Experiment Station giving results of fertilizer experiments at the Pee Dee Station, Florence, S. C., from 1914 to 1919 in-. elusive. The bulletin, prepared by C. P. Blackwell, agronomist, and T. S. Buie, assistant agronomist, is a somewhat technical publication of re sults of work begu nin 1914 under Prof. T. E. Keitt and continued un der Prof. C. P. Blackwell, and con sists largely of tables and graphs re cording experimental results of var ious kinds and amounts of fertilizers when used in rotation and otherwise on cotton, corn, oats, etc. The principal features of the bul letin are thirty-seven tables and fifty one graphic figures recording and il lustrating results. These are accom panied by brief explanatory discus sions and followed by a brief sum mary of conclusions. These conclu sions are given below for the benefit of farmers, many of whom would not care to make a close study of the mass of tabular and graphic matter in the bulletin. Summary 1. Acid phosphate, ground rock phosphate, and Thomas phosphate gave equally good yields when applied at the rates used in this experiment and on this particular soil and in the absence of the boll weevil. 2. Acid phosphate gave an earlier crop of cotton than either ground rock phosphate or Thomas phosphate. Pencil No. 174 Made in five grades MNCIL WITH THE RED BAND MIKADO WPANY, NEW YORK gto Money ? t.

Eight percent of acid phosphate in a 1000-pound application of fertili zer gave the maxima, myield of cot ton and larger applications were not profitable. Four.per cent was not as good as eight for cotton. 4. Corn and cowpeas when grown in a rotation with cotton did not re spond to applications of phosphoric acid. Aats gave a small increase for four percent of acid but not for larg er amounts. 5. Blood alone, as a source of am monia, gave better results than a mixture of one-third blood and two thirds cottonseed meal. 6. Pour percent of ammonia was better than either larger of smaller applications for cotton continuously and for cotton in a rotation. 7. The yields of corn and oats were in direct proportion to - the amount of ammonia applied; but the yield of cowpea hay was not influenc ed by the application of ammonia. 8. The time of application of soda as a side dressing made not difference in the yields of any crops in this par ticular experinent, because the soil had sufficient ammonia for a maxi mum yield of these crops without the side dressing. 9. Two percent of potash was suf ficient for maximum yield of cotton in a rotation, and four percent was best where cotton was grown con tinuously. 10. Corn, oats, anad peas gave no response to applications of potash in this experiment. 11. Muriate and kainit were of equal value as source of potash in this experiment for all crops used. 12. Caustic lime and ground lime stone were of equal value as sources of lime when used at the rates of 1000 pounds and 2000 pounds re spectively. 13. Lime was not )piofttable to use on this soil for any of the crops grown. 14. At the end of six years the ro tation series was yielding approxi mately twice as much as the contin uous cotton series and was gaining rapidly even where complete fertili zer was used at the rate of 1000 pounds per acre, thus showing the superiority of a rotation or a con tinuous cotton for maintaining the fortility of the land. 15. Either very heavy or very light application of ammonia delays the maturity of cotton. Heavy appli cations of potash also delay matur ity, 16. The earliest crop of cotton was secured by a reasonable applica tion of acid phosphate and ammonia, and from a well-balanced complete fertilizer, which does not run high in any one element.
