The New Fertilizer


The New Fertilizer
The use Of fertilizers to increase
the yield Of crops has become 50
well recognized that it is only a
question Of what is best to use,
and it was left to an American to
develop an inexpensive and pow
erful fertilizer that can be easily
applied with marvellous results.
Tho power Of the soil to produce
plants depends very largely on
the nitrogen the soil contains, and
anything that develops nitrogen
fertilizes the ground. Glover,
peas, alfalfa and potatoes are
some of the crops which are
natural fertilizers, and physiolo-
gists haye discovered that the
nodules or knots on the roots were
the generators of nitrogen. Fol-
lowing this they have discovered
a way to develop the germ or
bacilli, SO that they multiply at a
high ratio, as small pox bacilli in
case of inocculatlon. The inoccu-
lation of the soil of farm with
these organisms increases the yield
of wheat, oats, grasses, sugar
beets, and any other crop, and in
creases some of them several fold.
Thus it will be seen that if the
application of the innoculating
fluid to the seeds of the sugar
beet doubled the yield or even
increased 1t rs per cent the returns
would be enormous.
The chemist who developed the
new fertilizer has patented the
discovery in the name OF the
American people, and the depart
ment of the interior is prepared to
send out packages free to persons
wishing to use it, providing they
will agree to follow instructions
carefully. These instructions,
however, are only such as they
would wish to have, to get the
best results.
The "vaccinating material" will
be sent by mail in a pasteboard
box a little larger than a sweet
cracker. In the box are three
packages, each Of which is nun
bered. A card enclosed explains
how to prepare the materials. In
making application to the depart,
ment, state what kind Of seeds
you wish to inoculate, the time OF
planting and the amount Of seed
to be treated. With such crops
as alfalfa and clover, the fertiliz
ing continues from year to year
till the crop is plowed up, but
grain and vegetables which must
be planted annually, must have
the seeds treated annually, or as
often as it is desirable to increase
the fertility Of the soil. Applica
tons should be addressed: "Hon.

WATERWORKS

ton the matter Of creating a water
system for Blackfoot, and that it
is rather a knotty problem to
solve. That Blackfoot is sorely
in need eof q water system goes
without saying; and that for
a water system for town
that is based on agricultural
industries should be Of. a substan-
tial and lasting nature is also ad-
mitted. Everybody's verdict il
that the town will grow, and that
quite rapidly, and a town Of this
character does not 60 down as q
result Of farms "pinching OUT OF
live stock demonitized, or sugar
being too low grade to pay fol-
''smelting and shipping" that the
system, whatever it is, should be
built on strict economic principles,
permanent, adequate, lasting, per-
hitting Of enlargement without
loss or waste, and furnishing a
good quality Of water for domes-
tic purposes as we'll as water for
ilre-fghting.
The city should own its water
works if possible, or not being
able to install it's own plant, it
should seek to interest capital and
get the very best system possible
for the present and future needs
Of the town, and one that will be
a help to the growth Of the town
and not hindrance. For exam
pie, if man or number of men
wish to build and beautify things
out in the Elmwood addition or
Younie's or McDonald's addition,
or in all three, and the water sys-
tenn is backed by capital enough
to extend its lines promptly to
any place where permanent Gus
toners may be found to enter into
contracts, it will aid the develop
ment of the town, whereas if the
system has not this backing and
can only reach the more thickly
settled portions of the town it
retards development, and persons
who might invest and build here
under the one condition would not
under the other.
The sanitary conditions at
Blackfoot are not good and can
not be while people use open
wells with bugs and flies and mice
and decaying wood communicating
the water, and in addition to that
the deadly drainage Of old water
closets, as they are in many cases,
furnishing the germs of disease
that results in long sieges of vast
ing sickness. From pecuniary
standpoint, people prefer paying
interest on bonds or paying water
rentals, to paying the bills of doc
tors, druggists and nurses. The
business man would rather pay
higher water bills and less fire in
surance, and would feel the same
satisfaction IN it that he does in
paying his light bills and dispens-
ing with the danger, dirt and ex
pense of kerosine and gasoline
lamps. The person who simply
opens faucet to get water in the
house is delighted With the con-
trast between that and running
out in the wind with a bucket to
pump or pull on a we'll rope to
get it, and it is as great a hard
ship to give up the faucet us to
give up the telephone after GET
ting accustomed to the great con-
venience and economy of time
which it affords.
NO sane man ever gives up a
good thing If can help it, but
many sane men are SLOW to grasp
