Will Not Leave Postage Due Mail

postage due" matter for patrons OF
rural delivery has always been source
of much annoyance and trouble for the
various postoffices as we'll as the depart
ment at Washington, and in many in
stances has been continual loss to the
rural carrier, who must pay the postage
due before leaving on their trips, and
from one cause or another would not
be paid when the matter was delivered.
This in many cases amounted to several
dollars per month loss to carriers. To
overcome all annoyance and losses and
make the handling of postage DUE
uniform, the department has issued the
following orders, which must be "lived
up to- to the letter:
when short-paid and wholly unpaid
mail matter, addressed to rural patrons,
is received at your office, it must be
held by you until the addresses have
been notified of it's receipt, and of the
amount of postage due, and have inform
ed you what disposition they desire
made of such matter.
Addresses may call at post offices
and receive such mail upon the payment
of the postage due; or upon request,
accompanied by the amount of postage
due, in coin, the carriers may deliver
the mail in the patrons rural mail boxes.
"Postmasters will not afiix pastage
due stamps to part-paid or wholly un-
paid matter addressed for delivery on
rural routes until the amount of postage
due shall have been paid in coin, and
the delivery thereof has been requested
by the addresses.
"Mail matter found in rural boxes
without the proper postage affixed, or
money provided to purchase same,
should be taken by the carriers to the
initial postoffice to be held for postage,
and the sender notified of the amount of
postage due thereon. The amount of
postage due when received by the post
master. will be affixed to the matter,
which will then be DISPATCHED"

More New Things

E. j. Mcknight has repainted
his happy home.
Remember, when we speak of
granitoid side walks in feet, we
mean running, not square feet t.
The walks vary in width in
differents parts of the city, be-
ing from 4 to 8 feet wide and
with us life is too short to
compute the number of dozen
eggs in a carload, when number
OF cases are known to be 400
and 80 dozen to the case and ii
is the same way with square
feet in a side walk.
James Redd is putting in so
feet of granitoid side walk in
front OF his pretty home.
George Green has put in 50
feet of granitoid walk in front
of his home on Davis Street.
The L. M. Redman handsome
residence at the corner of Davis
and Second Streets has been
repainted.
Tle pretty home of B. O..
Wood at the corner of N. Main
and Second Streets is now in
the hands and brushes of the
painters.
Mrs. George w. Paris has
sold her business property on
Summer between Main and
Davis Streets TO Frank Theise
of Ha nnibal.

Fertile Soil 5000 1900 64oo
Our Soil 1920 l44O 672O
Deficiencies --298o --3l6o 1920
Excess
This table shows that our soil
is very deficient in nitrogen and
phosphorus, but has a sligh
excess OF potash. 1t is theret
fore a waste of money to buy
fertilizers for the potash they
contain. True an application
of available potash may help
the yield some, but we have
enough potash in the soil. and
it would be more economical to
keep our soil in some physical
condition. so that nature could
librate it for US. Phosphorus
is the only element we have to
buy and 1t is not very expen-
sive, especially the rock phos-
phate recommended in a former
article
Buying commercial nitrogen
is out of the question as it costs
about Is cents per pound. and
being very soluble, it may be
largely lost by big rain. Four
tifths OF the atmosphere is nj
trogen and there are certain
bacteria that grow on the roots
of legumes that have the pow
er of gathering this nitrogen
from the air and leaving it in
the soil. There bacteria will
work for nothing and board
themselves" if you will only
give them chance. The grow
ing of clover, cowpeas and 9TH
er legumes. is the cheapest and
most satisfactory means of sup
plying nitrogen to the soil. If
the crops cannot be grown sue.
cessfully on this soil on account
of its sour condition, it will pay
we'll to lime the soil, and thus
sweeten it, as the legume bac-
terra can thrive.
Another means of supplying
nitrogen is in the form OF stable
manure. This contains a large
amount OF nitrogen and it should
be remembered that a very large
per cent of the nitrogen of ma
nure is in the liquid portion.
1t would be we'll. therefore,
to arrange stables and feeding
places so as to save the liquid
manure.
1t should be mentioned in this
connection that the manure of
animals fed on clover. cowpeas
or alfalfa hay is richer In nitro
gen than that of animals fed on
corn, fodder or timothy. In this
way the legumes supply nitro
gen very rapidly-supply it in
the act of growing, and supply
more than other ordinary feeds
in the manure produces.
SUMMARY OF ARTICLES.
The soil needs phosphorus,
which should be supplied with
either steamed bone meal or
rock phosphate.
