INFLUENCE OF FERTILIZERS
ON FRUIT.

have made a careful study Of the
subject OF fertilizers, and have made ex-
tensiyo observations In regard TO the ef-
feet on the color of fruits Of the different
elements In commercial fertilizers.
On most well-cutyatcd soils that have
been In use for growing farm crops for
years, a we'll balanced fertilizer, made up
OF the different elements-nitrOgen, pot.
ash and phosphoric acid-will generally
give better results than fertilizer that
lacks one Of these elements. The explan-
alton Is that right farming by regular
rotation Of crops removes quantities OF
each Of these elements When barn
manures alone are applied TO the soil, the
crop OF fruit will be lacking In color IN
proportion TO the amount and richness"
of the manure, lt is well known that
barn manures lose more potash and phOs-
Nitrogen, when used 70 excess causes an
excess OF growth OF leaves and fruit, al
che expense Of color. II the proportion OF
nitrogen Is too great to that Of
potash and phosphorc acid the fruit will
be coloress I'm proportion to the excess
OF nitrogen,
Sandy soils are especially deficient In
potash yet this class OF soils are moro
generally used for small-fru growing
than any other, on account Of the ease OF
cultivation. Sandy soils will generally
respond 10 q liberal use OF fertilizers rich
In all the elements.
The office Of phosphorc acid in a fer
tlllzer Is largely 10 perfect the seeds. An
excess Will generally cause oariness Of
maturity IN the fruit Potash has the az

one young fellow, a visitor from the

to be almost beyond the point Of good

ton that there was nothing in city life

loeue loaded with sophstcation, and

KHERSON OATS.

Tests Of a new variety Of oats are re-
ported I'm Bulletin No. Sc Of the Nebraska
Experiment station, Lincoln. These oats
were imported by the station from Rus
STA IN 1897, and are called khorson oats.
The variety originated In the kherson
government In southern Russia. The eli
matte conditions OF that region are not
Such as are favorable to the production
Of oats, The average yearly rainfall Is
only 10 inches, and the summers are ex-
tromely hot
The Kherson oa Is a vigorous hut not
a rank grower The straw Is very short
the leaves are broad and expose a large
surface. The berries are light yellow In
color, small but numerous, and have q
very thin hull, They usually weigh well
per bushel They mature very early.
This variety Is peculiarly suited TO CEN
trail and western Nebraska and other
semi arid on account of its habits OF
growth.
In the spring Of 1901 seed OF Kherson
oats was sent out TO a number Of persons
In various parts Of the state to test. Two
bushels OF oats were sent 10 each expert
menter and he was asked TO thresh the
crop separately and to report the results.
This was ep'ated In 1902 and 1908 as more
seed became available. The results of the
letln, These show 1t TO DO peculiarly
suited TO central and western Nebraska.
Although II usually yields well in eastern
Nebraska, there are other varieties that
In the river counties, at least, compare
faVorably with II West of that, the
tests that have been made of 1t during the
three years, indicate that II Is earlier,
yields better and weighs heavier than any
other variety with the possible exception
OF the Texas Red. 1t has steadily out
yielded the Texas Red on the station
farm.

ASP HAL TUM ON
PROMONTORY POINT
An Ogden Company is Preparing
to Place its Properties Upon
A Producing Basis.
AN IS.INCH PIPE WILL co DOWN
Manager Jesse ]. Driver Has Been In
teryiewng Local Machinery Men
VIII Employ Steam Device.

Jesse J. Driver OF ogden, representing
the ogden oil & Asphaltum company
which owns property on Promontory
Point at the north end Of the Great
Salt Lake, was in the city yesterday,
This company is preparing to take
steps towards the development Of its
property upon an extensive scale, and
to place 1t on q producing basis. The
object of Mr. Drivers trip to the city
yesterday was to interview the various
machinery men.
The ogden company Is in possession
of the ground upon which two-inch
pipe was put down a number Of years
ago and out Of which has since been
oozlng liquid asphaltum. This field was
described in the News sometime ago,
in an article from the pen Of Don Ma
guire, the well known mineralogist'
The officers Of the company, as well as
numerous experts who have looked over
the ground, are confident that asphalt
tum exists there I'm great quantities,
but the most serious problem yet to
overcome Is that OF extracting the pro"
duct from the earth. The substance Is
too thick and sticky TO make pumping
feasab BILE, without some device that
would reduce It into "A more liquid form
than found In its crude state.
MIR. Driver believes, however this
difficulty can be readily overcome by
sinking large pipe and arranging 1t
in such a way that steam can be in
jected into IT, The steam, II Is believed,
will melt the asphatum to degree
when pumps can be used TO advantage
and the product run into barrels With
out refining.
Mr.. Driver is getting estimates on the
cost Of lS-inch piping, the size likely 10

Goldfield Citizens Organize.

For the advancement of the interests
OF the town, to regulate and improve
the sanitary conditions, for fire protec-
ton and to insure better police service.
the leading citizens of Goldieid have
banded themselves together in the form
OF q protective association, says the
Tonopah sun. They have selected the
name, THE Citizens Protective Asso-

The organization takes more the
nature OF board OF trade or chamber
Of commerce than that of an ordinary
committee with the hue of vigilantes.
To be sure It Is within the scope laid
out to include policing the town, but,
that Is done by acting through legal
and official channels.

UNHONoPED

BRUSSELS, April 9.-King Leo
poid Of Belgium, one Of the most
capable and least respected monarchs
of Europe, entered upon his seven
tieth year today. In all truth it must
be said that Leopold's personal quail
tiles and habits of life show no sign
of improving with age. His recent
discreditable lawsuit with his daugh-
ter, the ex-Crown Princess Stephanie,
has caused him to forfeit the last
vestige of respect which his brother
rulers may have had for him, or
rather for his position. When the
venerable King Christian of the little
Danish kingdom to the north OBJ
served his birthday yesterday mes
sages of hearty congratulation poured
in upon him from all of the courts
of Europe. 1t is doubtful, however,
If King Leopold has received a single
felicitous note on the occasion Of his
birthday. though the foreign diplo-
mats. bound by custom and etiquette,
called to pay their respects on be-
half Of their respective sovereigns.
Among the sovereigns of Europe
there appears to be just at present a
well-defined disposition to boycott the
Belgian king.
