It references Underwood tariff, Fort McHenry grounds cleanup, and Secretary Daniels forecasting scholarly presidents while urging peaceful, prudent US stance toward Mexico.

Importance of Soil Analysis Bill Passed
The General Assembly approved a soil analysis bill. Once funded, the Agricultural College will analyze soils from across the state to determine best crops, lime or fertilizer needs, and whether land is suited to its crops. Farmers will learn which crops to plant and may shift strategies to save time and expense. Illinois farming stands to gain from these methods.
