AUDRAIN county farmers grow fine
crops of all kinds without any fertiliz-
er. While this is fact, the time has
come when a little fetilizer judici-
ously used will bring most satisfact-
ory results: The use of fertilizer on
wheat is rapidly increasing In Mis-
souri,. The facts are, that on prac-
tically all Of the land In the state
where wheat is extensively grown, ex-
cepting the river bottom and some of
the better soils In central and north
western Missouri, fertilizers have
been found to pay handsome profits
when properly used. This has been
shown by numerous experiments
which the State Experiment Station
has been conducting throughout the
state, ] as well as by the expert

Auxvasse Review
We were In Mexico Friday last and
met many Of our friends. We were
so busy that our time was all taken
up before we got half through seeing
the parties we had business with.
We met Mitchell White Of the Mexico
Ledger but declined kind invitation
to visit him In his den on account Of
time. Shortly after we met the big
stick of the Ledger (R. NJ and passed
a few remarks about things, and we
passed on to find Frank Eller, who
talked Of fishing. Frank is handy
with bis reel and is an angler Of note.
some day we are going over and write
the old town up as 1t should be. This
will be free puff and now is the time
for the good people Of the town with
paved streets, automobiles, fine horses,
pretty women and babies, to subscribe
The people over there do not know
what they have got and we propose to
show them good and plenty. The
stuff is there II you will only think SO.

and that is Auxvasse.

KANSAS EMBARRAsS-
ED BY WEALTH
Crops So Big That other Products
Go To Waste-Stories From
Sun Flower state OF Faba-
lous Wealth.

Abilene, Kas., Aug. 23-The fulli-
less Of the farmers year is only half
appreciated without getting first hand
views on Ithe farms themselves. Not
in years, II ever, In the history Of the
Middle West had there been so much
OF everything and at such high prices
as at this time.
A banker went In his motor car the
other day sixteen miles from town and,
among other farmers similarly situat-
ed, came to one who, with three grown
sons, is farming 329 acres Of land. In
the yard were apple trees fairly load
ed With fruit going to waste and other
small fruits showed sad neglect. "Why
do you neglect your fruits" be asked.
| "Too much to do saving other
things" was the reply. "We have
ninety acres of alfalfa land have cut 1t
three times; our corn has needed work
all the time: the wheat was good and
had to be cut and now must be thresh-
ed. There is hay to cut and COWS tc
milk-our creamery check is s76 a
month--and with 1t all we don't get
to bed until II O'Clock as it is. We
can't keep hired help and SO some
thing has to slide"
He was telling the truth and his
rich acres were all producing abund-
antly.
A Kansas City minister has q farm
In the north part Of this county, 1eC
acres. He rents 1t. This week be
came up to collect the rent, calculated
on one third the crop and pocketed q
check for $1,000. That meant an In
come Of 5000 from the farm this year
more than the whole farm would have
sold for eight year ago. This is moi
alone because Of large yields Of wheat
and corn, but because there is SO much
Of everything produced and the total
amounts to a most satisfactory re-
turn.

suitable woman to live with. After
talking over the matter with severa
woman he decided that Mrs Wadding
