WANTED A PORK CHOP.

New York. Dec. 23.-Mrs. Arthur
Murray Dodge. widow OF the multi
millionaire phiianthropist and herself
noted for her charities. takes especial
interest in day nurseries. In fact 1t
Is doubtful II any one woman in the
United States has done as much to de-
velop the day nursery idea as has Mrs.
Dodge. except Miss Biddle. of Phila-
delphia. who originated the movement
in the United States. Mrs. Dodge is
interested In so many different nurser-
les, besides being president OF the
State Association of Day Nurseries,
that IL is necessary for her to have a
regular staff of assistants.
One of the duties of this staff OF as
sistants Is to visit the different insti-
tutions and find out, through actual
interviews with each little inmate,
what his or her particular want is in
the way of Christmas gift. On the
upper West side Of the city is a nur-
sery established in densely populat-
ed colored neighborhood. Little Tom
my in his brief life experienced the
luxury of being consulted regarding
his Christmas wishes. He was abso-
lutely increduluous when Mrs. Dodge s
representative asked him what he
wished Santa to bring him.
Really can l have anything l want,
Misus?" he replied in answer to the
agents query.
"Why yes, Tommy" she assured
him alarming thoughts passing through
her mind for fear he would ask for a
steamboat or railroad system.
Anything at all want?' persist
ed Tommy.
Eyes. anything you want
Tommy's little black face grew posi-.
lively radiant. Tell me he said,
scarcely restraining his ectasy, Tel
him to bring me a great big pork
chop"

The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1910-1920, 1910-03-26

- came interested in the study
of barnyard manure as a fertilizer
for cotton. With this end in view a
large number of experiments were
planned running through a series of
years. The following discussion is
based on the results Of this work.
In this work A counties were repre-
sented and II experiments were con-
Quoted.
In all cases the amount of manure
used was at the rate Of 4,240 pounds
per acre. This manure was the
average barnyard manure gathered
about the stables on the farm. A
check plot was used on which no ma
nure or commercial fertilizer was
applied.
The average yield per acre on the
MANFRED plot was 910.5 pounds of
seed cotton and the average yield
per acre on the check plot was 434.S
pounds Of seed cotton. This gives an
increase of 475.7 pounds of seed cot
ton per acre or an average of 224.4
pounds Of seed cotton for each ton
Of manure. Assuming that the cot
ton "thirded ITSELF" we should have
74.8 pounds of lint and 1896
pounds of seed per ton of manure.
At IA cents for the lint and 81 per
hundred for the seed. which is slight
ly under present prices, we would
have $12.06 as the value of the in
crease in our cotton crop for each
ton Of manure. No account is taken
here Of the original cost of the ma
nure or of the work of handling it.
Nor was account taken of the sec
ond-year effect of the manure. The
large number of experiments includ-
ed in these results and the wide
range. of soil types and conditions
covered should make these figures
fairly accurate.
In the same experiments discussed
above a mixture Of Sc pounds of nj
trate of soda. Ga pounds Of muriate
of potash, and 240 pounds Of IA
per cent acid phosphate was used in
The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1910-1920, 1910-03-26

comparison with the barnyard ma
nure.
AS stated above, the average in
crease per ton of manure was 74.6
pounds of lint and 1896 pounds of
seed. The average increase from the
above application of fertilizer mix
ture was 1915 pounds Of lint and
329 pounds of seed.
The following table gives a better
comparison of these figures:
Increase.
Lbs. Lint Lbs. Seed
200 lbs. manure 1873 1896
96 lbs. nitrate of soda
Ga lbs. murate of potash 164.5---- S2s
240 lbs. acid phosphate -----
The analysis showed the above
manure to contain approximately 10
pounds of nitrogen, pounds of pot
ash and 5 pounds of phosphoric acid.
At current prices of these materials
the plant food in the above ton of
manure was well worth 81. Allow
ing the same values for the plant
food in the fertilizer mixture, it
would be worth s5.55. Therefore,
50 worth Of plant food in barnyard
manure brought the farmer s12.06
increase in his cotton crop and 1856
worth of plant food in the form of
commercial fertilizer, brought him
an increase of s26.32, allowing IA
cents for lint and 81 per hundred for
the seed.
In other words. 81 worth of plant
food in barnyard manure increased
the yield s603 and 81 worth OF
plant food in commercial fertilizers
increased the yield only s4.72, max
ing, in this case. 81 worth plant food
in barnyard manure worth s1.31
more than 81 worth of plant food
in the form of commercial fertilizer.
This is all based upon the first-year
effect only. The barnyard manure
would have given good returns
probably for the second year and
even much longer, besides aiding the
mechanical condition of the soil,
while 1t is doubtful IL the CONNER
cial fertilizer would have been felt
very much after the first year.

COUNTY OPTIONIsTs
They Will C0nfine Themselves Prin'
CipaIly to Election of legis-
lative Members

Rudolph A. Lee, publisher of the
Long Prairie Leader, passed through
Sank Center Wednesday afternoon on
his way home from meeting of the
state committee of the county op-
tionists, of which he is a member.
Mr.. Lee spoke enthusiastically of the
meeting, which was held in ST. Paul.
Seventeen of the % members of the
committee were present. After care
full and thorough discussion of the
situation, said Mr.. Lee, it asdecided
to confine efforts mainly to the elec-
tion of legislature that favors coun-
ty option. The records of nominees
for state offices will be scanned, but
it was the consensus of opinion that
not much if anything would be done
in that line, though of course when it
comes to voting the rank file will
do as they please and many are likely
to support only those who have de-
clared themselves i'm favor of county
option.
Mr.. Lee says encouraging reports
came in from different parts OF the
state relative to county option senti-
ment. That this sentiment is steadi-
ly growing and is quite strong is evil
dent from the reports brought in.

KIND WORDS, THESE
State President of WOman'S Clubs
Says Nice Things About Mrs.
Morse.

In public address in Duluth re-
Gently, Mrs. c. G. Higbee, president
of the State Federation of Woman's
Clubs, paid fine compliment to Mrs
Fannie French Morse, who will have
charge, as superintendent, of the Girls
Industrial School at Sank Centre.
Mrs. Higbee attributed to the
Federation the securing of Mrs. Morse,
pronouncing. her to be the leading
woman in the world in this work,
Said Mrs. Higbee:
MRS. Morse will build the ideal
school and make it the model school
of the country and of the world.
But for the work of the Federation,
asserted Mrs. Higbee: Mrs. Morse
would never have been secured for
Minnesota.
Mrs. Morse is expected in
St. Paul very soon if she has not
already arrived there. The Board
of Control will consult her
further about the plans
for the school buildings. 1t
is confidently expected that work
will begin on the school not later
than the first of May.

LOOK FOR THE COMET
Friday Morning, at 4::3O, the farIi'
est Date When 1t Will
Be Seen

A Washington dispatch says that
Friday morning, April Is, is the
earliest date at which it will be worth
while to try to- see Halley's comet.
During April and the early part OF
May the comet will be visible in the
east before sunrise, a few degrees
north of east. Before May Is it will
be too nearly in line with the sun to
be seen in the morning, but from
then on will appear in the west in
the evening as soon as it gets dark
enough. On May 2 it will set two
hours after the sun, with the inter
val growing longer each night. The
comet will appear most brilliant
about May Is.

FOURTH AND FAIR
Sank Centre Will Celebrate the
National Holiday
TO HOLD COUNTY FAIR
Both Projects Doomed and Mass
Meeting of Citizens Held on
Monday Evening

Sank Centre will celebrate the 4tf
of July this year.
Sank Centre will also hold the an
nual Stearns county fair this year.
The decision to do both these I'M
portant things was reached at an en-.
thusiastic meeting of the citizens OF
the town, held at the city hall on
Monday evening.
F. f. Minette was chosen chairman
of the meeting and A. M. WelleS Sec
rotary.
The chairman was authorized to ap-
point an executive committee of three
to take charge of the Fourth of July
celebration, this committee to have
the power to appoint such other COM
mittees as occasion requires. 1t was
the general feeling that Fourth OF
July celebration can be held this year
which will be hummer. The COM
mittee consists of r. E. Hansen, ia.
Schoenhoff and L. S. Bishop.
Officers of the Fair Association for
the coming year were elected as fol-
lows:
President-Dr. j. A. Dubois.
Secretary-F. r. Minette.
Treasurer-W. S. Dean.
Directors-John BOutell, Geo. Fish,
Thos Sullivan.
Much enthusiasm was manifested
over the annual fair and it was the
general feeling that the Forthcoming
fair will be one of the best in the
history of the association.
After the celebration and fair mat
tiers were settled, the meeting was
thrown open for suggestions on any
topic of public interest. DIR. Du Bots
spoke for some minutes relative to
the radiator factory and the proposed
addition of an implement factory to
the concern. The doctor was en-
thusiastic over the outlook for ma
terial prosperity for the city. He
thought there was never a time in
the history of the city when things
looked brighter. He urged support
of the factory and it's proposed ex-
tension on the ground that it would
help the city and would also be good
investment. His remarks, which
were greeted with applause, were Sec
onded by A. NJ. Welles and DR.. II. F..
Hennemann, both of whom had re-
Gently inspected the factory and be-
lieved them to be good things for
Sank Centre.
The report of. F. E. Minette, secre-
tary of the Fair Association, was read
and referred to A. M. Welles and Geo.
Fish for auditing. 1t is as follows:

The plans of the company for an
additional plant for the manufacture
of agricultural implements, as out
lined in last weeks issue of The
Herald, are progressing satisfactorily
and it is believed this branch of the
concern will materalize in the near
future. This additional plant will be
located north of the radiator factory.
The company has good location for
it's plant, right on the Northern Pa
cific road and near the Great Nor
them, the latter being able easily to
reach it by building spur track.
