rather to have had drawn from them by
repeated crops, the phosphoric acid orig
inally existing.
THE weeds and other decaymg sub.
stances with which it should be turned
under, produce and gradually liberates
its fertilizing properties. The value the
first year will not be very noticeable,
but the good effect on the crop increases
each year for several years. )"
Phosphate rock, to be marketable,
must contain certain per cent of phos-
phoric acid equivalent TO a certain per
cent, OF bone phosphate of lime, and
also that the rock shall not contain
more than certain small per cent. of
iron and aluminium. At these mines
here in and near Mt. Pleasant thous-
ands of tons of rock are thrown into
the dump alolg with the over burden,
because The analytical results will not
meet the requirements of the manufac-
turer. OF course, in this way this rock
is lost. Furthermore, there are thous-
ands of acres Of undeveloped phosphate
fields of rock of low grade which
would undoubtedly prove valuable as
fertilizer in the form of raw ground
rock, and there will come time some
day when our people will awaken to this
fact, and numerous phosphate mills will
be erected for the purpose OF Utilizing
this lower grade of rock for fertilizing
purposes in its raw state, and at prIce
commensurate with its analytical re-
suits.
What our farmers should do would be
to make careful tests of the value of
this raw and finely ground phosphate
rock on their lands in Maury and adjoin-
ing counties, and when its value is as.
ceItained legislation to allow it to be
placed on the market in this State, may
easily be had. 1t is known that there is
law prohibiting the sale of this raw
ground rock in it's simple state but
when it shall have been demonstrated
that it Is more valuable as a fertilizer in
this form than in any other, when the
cost is considered, there is no reason
why law should not be enacted repeal
ing the act prohibiting its sale as fer
tii7"r.
Any farmer who is interested, and ali
should be, can, by writing to the Uni
vereity OF Agricultural Experiment Sta
tloD, Urbana, ILL.,, get Circular No. 81,
just issued, which shows how the ex
periments were made, and the results.
Let the farmers of Maury and adjoin.
ing counties get this circular and read
lt, watch the shipments of this rock to
Illinois, and then ask themselves why, |
with this material at thei very doors, |
they do not at least make trial on a !
few acres OF their own land, and learn |
Tor themselves it's value.

1t is the desire of the merchants and
business men of Mt. Pleasant to have
quite an elaborate public entertainment
here early next spring along the lines Of
such affairs held here in the past, and
we recommend that in order to make it
the success SO greatly desired, our bust
ness men should begin to formulate
their plans and begin work at once.
Nothing has so greatly benefited our
town and attracted so much trade in
this direction as the public affairs Of the
past several years; and for that reason
the affair next spring should be bigger
and better than any of the others.

PARKER STRONGEST.
Seems To Have Greatest Following In
Missouri Senatorial Fight.


Jefferson City, Jan. 5.-Early today
the house reps. decided to hold a
caucus on the senatorial proposition
tonight. This move is being fought
by the friends of Richard Kerens, a
leading senatorial candidate. It's
adoption is considered another blow
to his aspirations. With the advan-
tage of having named the house Off
GERS, the candidacy of l.. F. Parker,
general counsel of the Frisco, is held
by many to be so far the strongest.
The talk of naming Cynes P Wal
bridge, defeated candidate for gov
ernor, although he is not candidate,
is growing stronger and causes un-
easiness in the camps of the various
candidates.
The republican members of the
senate agreed to senatorial caucus
tonight.
