CONTEST
FOR ROSE
QUEEN
INTEREST is GROW
ING--CLOSE RACE
FOR FIRST
PLACE

The contest for queen OF the Rose
Carnival at Portland, took another
turn last night, when the counting
OF the votes showed that Miss Ber-
tha Allen had jumped to the front.
Interest in the contest is growing
steadily, and promises to get de-
cidedly warm as II nears the end. II
will be a delightful trip for the sue
cessful one, and as the money goes
to purchase fitting robes and to meet
the queens expenses, Il will be seen
that the money voted for the losers
all goes to adorn the winner. This
naturally makes the contest interest
ing, and as anyone Of the candidates
would make a charming queen, il is
simply case of how hard their
friends work for them. The vote, as
counted last night is as follows:

FIG. III-ACCUMULATIoN OF MANURE
to the land as fast as formed. When
it is allowed to decay in the barnyard
much Of the nitrogen is lost. and rains
falling upon it also wash out other ee-
ments. The manure spreader is an
implement that should be found in
every barnyard. The manure can be
loaded direct from the stables to the
spreader at almost all seasons of the
year and spread in an even layer upon
the field. With a spreader the manure
can be made to cover twice as much
ground. so that the whole farm can be
gone over oftener.
While barnyard manure is undoubt-
eddy one of the best means of main
tanning fertility, it cannot always be
had. Many farmers, because of their
location near markets which demand
certain crops, find it more profitable to
supply those crops than to raise live
stock. Others prefer grain farming
because it is less combining. Such farm
ers must have some method of main
tanning fertility which does not depend
primarily upon manure.
The Value of Glover.
The best substitute for manure is
clover Clover supplies an abundance
of nitrogen, the most rapidly used OF

the three essential elements. Three.
fourths Of the air is made up of nj
trogen. Glover and other leguminocs
crops are able to get nitrogen from
this source by means of bacteria which
live on their roots These bacteria
change the nitrogen OF the alr into nj
trates, form in which 1t can be used
by the plants. Fully one-thlrd OF the

rotation will furnish nearly enough nj
trogen for the remaining three crops

This is much cheaper form Of OBJ
tanning nitrogen than by purchasing 1t
in commercial fertilizers at 10 to 10
cents pound. Ii is much more profit
able to keep the nitrogen supply fairly
constant by the continued use of ro-
tation with legumes than to add a
large amount at one time. Nitrogen In
the form of nitrates is readily soluble,
and every rain washes some of 1t out
of the soil. This is not true of the
other essential elements to any marked
extent. Too liberal a supply Of nitro
gen at one time tends also to promote
too rapid leaf growth at the expense
of fruit or grain.
The stubble and roots of the clover,
together with the cornstalks and other
rubbish, will do great deal to keep
up the humus supply. In addition to

N the problem OF maintaining
fertility is not an important
one. Fertility of the land in its broad
est sense means it's ability to produce
large crops.
One of the important factors influ-
encing fertility is the amount of plant
food in the soil. Ten elements, car
bon, hydrogen. oxygen, calcium. mag
nesium. iron. sulphur. nitrogen. potas-
stun and phosphorus. are necessary to
the growth of plants. From 90 to 90
per cent of the dry matter of plants is
made up Of carbon, oxygen and by
drogen, which are obtained from air
and water. OF the others only three.
nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. are
used in such large quantities that the
supply in the soil is likely to become
exhausted. These three are usually
spoken of as the essential plant foods.
Amount Of Plant Food In Soils.
These plant foods are present in
varying amounts in all soils. In many
cases it is necessary to increase the
supply by the use of commercial fer
NlllLClos hC iNai hCO0 VI iAOob oOlios
however is not the addition Of more
of these materials. but the judicious
use of those already there. 1t is esti-
mated that there is enough phosphor-
us in the upper seven inches of soil
in the Mississippi valley to raise a
hundred bushels of corn to the acre
every year for sixty years and enough
potassium to last GOO years at the
same rate. Much of this phosphorus
and potassium is combined with other
materials in such a form that it is I'M
available for the use of the plants.
One of the principal problems Of the
farmer, then, is to make this stored fer
tility available
One of the most effective means of
doing this is, by keeping the soil pen-
tifully supplied with humus. Humus
is the name given to decaying organic
matter in the soil. 1t is the humus
that gives the dark. rich color to soils
1t leaves that brown streak in the
furrow" that farmers have long re-
garded as an indication of fertility
Humus gives the soil a spongy texture
and greatly increases its water holding
capacity. 1t also makes the soil lighter
and warmer. Soils which contain large
amounts of humus do not bake or
become coddy easily. They are mel
low and respond readily to cultivation.
Humus contains considerable nitrogen
and furnishes a home for bacteria
which aid in making plant food avail
able. Certain acids are also formed in
the decaying of humus that aid in
making the phosphorus and potas-
SUM available 1t might almost be
said that the chief problem Of main
tanning fertility is the problem of keep
ing the soil supplied with humus.
Maintaining the Humus Supply.
Probably the best way of maintain
ing this humus supply is by the liberal
use of barnyard manure. The surplus
straw should be used for bedding. so
as to save all the liquid portion and
add to the bulk of the manure. Shred
ded fodder is also good for this pur-
pose, The manure should be hauled

And yet for me 1t parted the way.
Betwixt life's bloom and its blight
1t pointed the newborn baby's breath
First left on the mothers breast;
For another 1t sounded the summons
of death
And weary one gone to his rest.
At that moment two souls were to-
gether wed
Till death should call them apart;
Another to virtue bowed his head
And consecrated his heart.
All big was the moment that fitted
away,
And hardly one noticed its flight;
And hundreds of minutes make up the
day,
And hundreds are lost in the night
