J the biggest slam-bang fistic argument

long period, and everybody is going
because everybody has got the price,

the pile of joy that goeslong with

j, so much pep, enthusiasm and real j

bucks again.

Young for the decision, but there is I
not enough cllffcrenco to howl about,!
and, anyhow. Al is not worrying, so '

Controls Porosity and Aeration. '
Besides, organic matter loosens clay'
soils and renders them porous It has
the opposite effect on coarse sands
and otherwise extronioly porous soils,:
In which it serves as-sort of binder as,
well as a retainer of water.
It is common knowledge that wet
sand, even If nearly pure and very!
coavse, will hold together with greater
tenacity than the same sand when'
deprived of its moisture. Organic mat
te, therefore, consolidates loose soils
both by supplying a binding agent anil
by furnishing a retainer of water A
high degree of looseness in clays and
a 'ugh degree of consolidation in' sands
increase the water-holding powers of
I such soils. These conditions also cn
couiage moro desirable aeration and
uniformity of temperature. I
Compact clas have too little pore
space to hold much water or ic per
mit the easy exchange of gases be

Roots and bacteria both need air oxy
gen also helps in rendering mineral
plart-foods soluble. Sandy soils are
lil:l to be tdo hot and clayey soils
too cold. The extra moisture and the
consolidation in sandy soils moderate
the temperature of these soils and
thereby decreases evaporation. In
heavy soils the increase of pore space
encourages moro thorough entiIation.
As the water content increases to
about medium the pore space in
creases. If more water Is added the
volume decreases and consequent
the air space. It is .at this point of
greatest volume that soils aerate most
readily and consequently warm up
most rapidly. Roots can penetrate
more easily and more deeply because
air is available at greater depths and
because there is less resistance In
all respects the soil is then in the most
favorable condition for plant growth.
On this account this condition in soil
is known as the optimum (Latin word
meaning the best) water content. Ac
tively decaying organic matter tends
to bring all soils to-this desirable con
dition. (This is the third of a series of five
articles on potato growing. The lourth

BE BDIHH DELEGATE
WASHINGTON. Feb. 16. Vice Pres
ident MarshaIJ,in a letter to E. G.
Hoffman, of Fort Wavne, Ind., secre
tary of the Democratic national com
mittee, announced his candidacy as a
delegate at large from Indiana to the
coming San Francisco convention
upon "an old-time Democratic plat
form." In view of political gossip that Vice
President Marshall is slated to become
choirman of the Democratic platform
committee, his letter was read with
especial interest by officials here.
"Another presidential campaign im
pends," Mr. Marshall wrote. "Thus far
the president, who Is chief of our par
ty, has not deemed it expedient to
express his opinion as to what the is
sues will be. As I am desirous of be
inc a delegatc-at-large from the state
of Indiana, I Avish, in consequence
with what I hope has been my entire
public career, to slate the substance
of what I think the Democratic party
should stand for. I would not want to
go under any misapprehension as to
my views upon the part of the unfal
tering Democrats of Indiana.
"We were in the war from the very
moment of its European beginning be
cause it affected our internal affairs
All of the methods and measures

peace of our country and the winning
of the war met with my approval and I
am ready to defend them.
"Tho war is now over and the re
habilitation of America, as Avell as the
rest of the world, is taking place. It
is impossible to accomplish our re
habilitation other than through tho in
strumentalities of political parties.
How shall the Democratic party pro
