READ WHAT THE CURED SAY
Electricity Finally Cured Him.
Mr.. Charles E. Norris, who resides
at 1899 Fifth avenue, Rock Island,
says: For the last 25 years 1 had
great trouble with pain and weak
ness in my back, some days l could
not do a thing, and to get rid of it,
i have tried almost everything, both
and externally. Finally 1
heard of the work DR.. Bartz was do
ing with electricity and made up my
mind to try his methods. Today l
nm pleased to say that just three of
rs treatments removed all pains and

the composition of the plant is the fac
tor that influences production.
1t is interesting to make comparison
of the elements when used alone, to de-
our soils. Dried blood was the source
of ammonia or nitrogen, sulphate tf
potash furnished potash, and acid phos-
phate phosphorus. The following table
gives the results from the use of the
fertilizers and the increase in yied as
compared with the ono fertilizer" plat.

Dried Blood 400 lbs. S54 lbs 14I lbs.
2 Sulph. OF potash 200 lbs. 1913 lbs. 20 lbs.
3 Acid Phosphate 500 lbs. $40 lbs. 2O7 lbs.
No Fertilizer 7l3 lbs.
II will be observed that potash pro
duced an increase of only 20 pounds,
while asid phosphate increased the yield
20Z pounds Some might think that
the difference could be accou ted for in
the fact that only 200 pounds of sulphate
of acid phosphate was applied.
The maxium amounts of both mater
ials were used, if a greater amount of
either had been applied harmful results
would possibly have followed. When
potash was added to acii phosphate the
yield over phosphate alone was 40 poun-
DIS per acre. Sulphate of potash added
to dry blood produced 40 pounds per
acre less than dried blood alone. The
results clearly minimzes the use of pot
ash and emphasizes that of phosphates.

INTERESTING CROP EXPERIMENTS
Developed at Hardinsburg by Members of the Ken
lucky Experiment Station and United States
Department of Agriculture.
Poor Soil Was Used

tilizers were not as large as they should
have been. The results of one years
work OH tobacco are given for what they
are worth, subsequent investigations
may alter conclusions to some extent.
The experimental field consisted of
two acres, one of which received air
Stacked lime at the rate of one ton per
acre. The yield of tobacco was not
materially influenced by the application
of lime. The same results have been
observed in our experimental fields in
Christisn county. A similar experiment
is being conducted this year at Lexing-
ton in which an adverse effect from lime
can be noticed. 1t seems fairly safe to
say that under general conditions in
Kentucky little results can be expected
from the use of lime on tobacco Eek
periments in Virginia tobacco fields
show marked advantages from the use
OF lime. The function of lime III such
cases seems to be to render the nitrog-
enous matter available, The Inference
should not be drawn that lime will not
effect the yield of grain and clover crops
especially the latter. The field is to be
sown III clover and the results will be
observed.
The impression is general that potash
is the element most needed in tobacco
production. This is perhaps due to the
fact that large amount of potash is
found in the ash of the tobacco plant.
The grower readily infers that this in
gredient must be supplied if large crop
of tobacco is to be expected. The fact
that the soil may be rich in its stores Of
potash is not taken into consideration.

General farm crop experiments have
been conducted jointly by the Kentucky
Experiment Station and the U S.Depart
ment of Agriculture at Hardiusburg
for the past two years. Results are
rather indefinite as yet and absolute
conclusions can not be drawn. How
ever, some interesting things have been
brought out and will be presented for
the benefit of Breckenridge county far
fners.
A poor light clay soil OF wet nature
was selected in the suburbs OF Har-
dinsburg. The field is thoroughly iu-
tested with insect pests, especially the
wire worm which is particularly de-
structve to tobacco. The pest bores
into the stalk below the surface OF the
ground and continues its way downward
into the roots, eating out the center of
the stalk. After such an attack the
plants have very little vitality to grow
and remain very much the same size as
when transplanted. Late in the season
the plants may recover to some extent
and be able to make, at the best, All in
different yield. Since the pest works
entirely underground, remedies are
very difficult TO apply, in fact there is
no known way to control it. 1t is
noticeable this year that plats of the
old meadow that were planted in some
other crop and then followed by tobacco
retter results are obtained. The cul-
uvation given the preceding crop seems
TO have the effect of Kidding the soil Of

plant food remaining after the tobacco
crop was produced being depended upon
to raise the wheat The same compar-
isons will be made with wheat as were
made on tobacco with reference to the

which is the more important in wheat

The results favor the use of phospha
ties for wheat as we'll as tobacco. When
sui phste of potast was added to acid
phosphate the yield was 1871 bushel:

noticed that neither element added &c
acid phosphate was quiet able to equal
the phosphate alone. However, appli-
cations of all three elements returned
yields practically equal to phosphates
alone. The following table gives the
yield of some of the best plats in COM

The difference in the appearance of
the wheats while growing in the field
was quiet marked at times. The phos-
phate plats produced a much lighter,
paler colored straw than the plats re-
ceiving dried blood, potash or no fertil-
izer Many inferred that the yield
would not be so good on these on ac-
count of such color, but the final results
did not bear out the idea. Where dried
blood, on ammonia or heterogeneous fer
tilizer was used, very dark, rich green
straw was produced, but this feature
seemed to have no particular relation

GOT THE HOOK
SENATOR HARRY MARTIN RE-
FLUTES STATEMENT IN
RENO PAPER

Sundays issue of the Reno Jour
nal contains statement of Joseph
Hamilton of Goldfield, who at the
time of the extra session of the Ne
vada legislature, was a member of
the assembly. Mr.. Hamilton denied
the fact that Charles S. Sprague ap-
peared before the committee to
which had been referred the state
police bill, and. urged that the bull
pen clause be placed in it. Hamil-
ton also denied the fact that Mr..
Sprague was elected from the COM
mittee room by T. l.. Oddie.
At the time of the session extra
ordinary, Senator Harry M. Martin,
now of this city, was in attendance
from Washoe county. Mr.. Martin
takes vigorous exception to the
statement of Hamilton, and stated
this morning that Sprague appeared
before the committee and urged
legislation that would have resulted
in bull pen for the Goldfield min.
erS.
"Sprague was before the commit
tee several times said Senator
Martin, land after he was elected
he was told not to come again. Hi
action throughout the different com
mittee meetings made him disliket
by everyone and when Senator Cd
die finally requested that he be re
moved from the committee room
there was no dissenting voice
Sprague advocated the principles h
is charged with, and if it is nee
essary | will make an affidavit.

PROF. Smith
HAS MADE GOOD AS
AN EDUCATOR

AS illustrating the broad gauge
and superior intelligence of the
present republican candidate for
election as state superintendent of
public instruction, Professor Dwight
T. Smith, we will cite few re-
marks made by that gentleman dur
ing his recent visit to Tonopah.
He spoke after having mingled
with the states leading educators,
who were in attendance at the To-
nopah Day session of the teachers
institute He spoke most enconr-
agingly of that convention, held
here and in Goldfield. There was
shown a personnel that indicated
the state is now in a position that
might be made into a more conserv-
alive progress than in former years.
The public mind seems also to be
less susceptible to blooms on edu-
cational topics. This has been the
evil of politics in education. In
the school room it has hampered
both teacher and pupils. There Is
an apparent desire for the more sci
entific methods. On the whole the
indications seem to be favorable.
Prof. Smith, who was born in Els
meralda county raised on ranch
and educated in Nevada public
schools, until the course mapped
out by him took him to the Laurel
Hill military school in California
and to the University of California
He completed course in mining
engineering at Berkeley, and fos
lowed with postgraduate work il
science and literature. His univer
sity retained him later on as one o
its assistants in science.
For a time he was field assistan
