Some Fertilizer Points.

Some Fertilizer Points: ~,
"A press bulletin from the Ohio Elk
pertinent Station says. For the clay
soils OF eastern Ohio, especially those
which lie upon and are largely derived
from shales and sandstones, phos,
phorus is the element first required
In fertilizer, and until" this is sup
piled neither nitrogen nor potassium
can be used with economy. Phos-
phorus, however, will only produce its
full effect when associated with abun-
dant supplies Of available nitrogen
and potassium. When, therefore, the
land has been depleted Of it's humus
by exhaustive cropping, the use of
phosphorus alone will not produce
maximum crops. Our knowledge con-
cernlng the soil requirements OF those
parts OF the state where the under.
lying rock is limestone is very in
uefinite, and there is some reason to
suspect that on such soils potassium
may occupy relatively more import
ant position in the fertilizer than over
the sandstones; but even here it will
generally be found that phosphorus
is essential to the full effectiveness OF
the fertilizer, and, that supply OF
available nitrogen must either be
found in the soil, in the form of abun
dant humus, or else must be supplied
IN manure or nitrogenous fertilizers
before the maximum of crop produc
ton is reached. The Investigations of
the Illinois Experiment Station have
shown that on black, mucky soils
where the supply of humus is in ex
cess, potassium may be the controll
ing factor in crop production; hence
on such soils special attention should
be given to supplying this element,
either in manure or in potash salts.
1t does not appear that, within the
range of ordinary farm cropping, the
kind OF crop plays as important a part
in determining the composition of the
fertilizer as many farmers have been
lea to believe. 1t is true that legumi
nous crops, such as clover, beans, etc.,
require less nitrogen than the cereals,
potatoes, etc., and 1t appears that
corn and potatoes are able to utilize
! organic nitrogen, such as that Of ma
| nure or black soils, to better advan
tage than wheat or oats; but the fact
that, particular crop may show q
higher percentage of nitrogen or po
tasslum IN it's composition than others
may simply mean, as it does in the
case OF nitrogen in the leguminous
crops, that it possesses a superior
ability to obtain this element from
natural sources. The attempt, there
tore, to prescribe a special fertilizer
tor special crop, without reference
to the soil and the system of cropping
must be regarded as lacking a scien
tific basis.

AMICABLELY SETTLED.
Differences Between Police Lieutenant
and Police Judge.

The controversy which has arisen within
the past few days between Lieut.. Matthews
of the fourth police precinct and Judge
O,Neal of the Police Court relative to the
manner of disposing of cases against steam
railroad conductors who permit their trains
to blockade the street crossings in South
west Washington has been amicably set
tied, and to Commissioner West is attrib-
uted a large share of credit for the res
toration of peaceable relations between the
police department and the Police Court.
Both Lieutenant Matthews and Judge
O'Neal called on Commissioner West late
this afternoon and each party to the con-
troversy presented his respective side of
the case
Lieutenant Matthews several days ago re-
ported to Commissioner West that the de
partment found great difficulty in prevent
ing the blockade of street crossings by
the steam railroad trains. because Judge
O'Neal had released two conductors on
their personal bonds.
In his interview with the Commissioner
today Lieut.. Matthews stated that he had
obtained his information relative to the
cases in the Police Court and also as to the
prevailing conditions from the reports of
the officers in his precinct.
Judge O'Neal told Commissioner West
that it was his desire to support the police
department in it's effort 20 prevent violation
ductors whose personal bonds he had TAX
en-, M. O'Neal said that he thought there
were extenuatmg circumstances.
lie said. however, that he wanted to as
sure the Commissioners that in the future,
when such cases were brought before MIN
ne would impose fine, and do all in his
power. In justice, to break up the unsatis-
factory conditions with respect to the rail-
road crossings in Southwest Washington
Judge O'Neal said that he had only the
kindest feelings toward Lieut. Matthews
and did not desire to appear as quarreling
with member OF the police department or
any one else, but he thought the lieutenant
had perhaps been a little too hasty in crit1-
cizing the action of the court.
Judge ONeal said that he would coop
crate with the police in their efforts to keep
the crossings open to the public.
Acting Lieut.. d. Sullivan of the first po-
lice precinct today reported to Commission
err West that last Saturday the police of the
| first precinct arrested eleven husksters .for
obstructing the street with push carts"

The wind and rain storm of last night
was one of the most destructive which bas
visited this vicinity of late years The
storm pushed forward the work of destruc-
ton of the county bridge over the Severn
river, about a mile from Annapolis. begun
several months ago when a barge ran into
the draw and carried it Off Probably an
eighth of a mile of the bridge was carried
away last night and much of it lodged
against the Santee wharf at the Naval
Academy.
The submarine boat Holland at the San
tee wharf, had a narrow escape from de-
struction, heavy barge nearly striking it,
In Annapolis harbor several bugeyes and

RETURNED FROM PANAMA.
Members of the Isthmian Commission
Here Again.

Admiral Walker and other members of
the isthmian canal commission who arrived
at New York yesterday from Panama, re-
in the Culebra section will occupy the i'm
mediate attention of the commission.
Admiral Walker declares that the United
States government intends to keep the two
open ports in the canal zone in spite of any
protests which might be made by the Pan
anna government. He added that he did not
Ancon on the Panama side of the isthmus,
and Cristobal near Colon, free ports OF
entry.
1.-The unfortunate part of the affair."" he
said, sis that it has got into local politics.
OF course the outs have to protest against
what has been done by the ms. 1 do not
think that the establishing of the free por.s
will mean that the Panama government
will have to patrol both sides of the canal
strip with customs officials. I think an
agreement will be made with them so that
we will help them out Goods brought into
the strip will not be allowed to enter Pana-
ma territory"
Rear Admiral Walker said that the work
of excavation was now proceeding twice as
fast and with less men and at half the
cost as under the French company. Health
conditions, he declared, were excellent, and
the canal construction work was being rap
Idly systematized He declared that state
ments which have found their way into
the press relating to political excitement in
Panama were greatly exaggerated. Every
thing at present seems to be quiet and sat
isfactory to the people of Panama, he said.
Accompanying Rear Admiral Walker
were Commissioners Frank Hecker, William
H. Burr Charles E. Grunsky and Benja
min F. Harrod.

ALL THE MODELS MOVED.
Space in the Patent Office Will Be Used
for the Records.

for the Records.
The last of the models and model cases
that have incumbered the corridors and
galleries of the second floor of the great
white building on F street occupied by the
patent office have been carted away. For
years past the models accommodating in the
patent office have occupied space that the
officials thought could be put to much bet
ter use. All of the division chiefs were
calling on the chief clerk for more space
in which to carry on the routine work of
the office, and no space was to be had.
The models kept coming in and pilng up.
A certain sentimental interest attached to
the models forbade putting them aside. but
the space was needed and a year or SO
ago an official with more business acumen
than sentiment in his makeup arranged for
the renting of part of the Union build .ng.
on G. street, for the storage of the surplus
models When the superintendent Of doc
uments moved to the new government
printing office a great vacant space was
left at the Union building. and the patent
office authorities lost no time in acquiring
this space. Arrangements were completed
in July to move the remaining models. and
the Merchants Storage and Transfer COM
pany was awarded the contract There
were between $4,000 and $4,000 Of them,
and they were stored in eighty-seven heavy
cases. The cases were made of glass and
steel and were rveted together. Even the
doors were sealed and riveted, and the con-
tractors for the moving were forced to cut
the steel bolts that bound the sides together,
in order to get the cases apart The last
case of models was moved out yesterday
afternoon, and t. is declared that never
again will the floor of the patent office be
Uttered with such an array of miniature
machines, etc. Hereafter all such things
will be sent direct to the Union building.
The space gained by the removal of the
models will be utilized for the storage of
the records. The officials of the Office in
charge of the moving are well pleased with
the WORK of the contractors who completed
their job one day ahead of time, in the face
of no little difficulty.
