HIT AND MISS

Willmar Beats Litchfield. Sem
mary Trims AtWater. East
Wins Championship.

In game in which both teams
showed how the national games
should not he played, Willmar de-
feated Litchfeld on the local
grounds last Friday, the score be-
ing 8 to Z. 1t was Friday and May
l3 at that, and this hoodoo was
more than either team could resist.
There were errors enough for a
whole season, and nearly everybody
got a hand in. First one side
would throw the game away and
then the other, and this Alphonso=
CASTOR performance continued until
the curtain dropped. In the last
half of the ninth with one down
Hengstler walked and stole second
and he came home with the winning
tally when Downs placed a pretty
pinch hit right over first. That
ended the vaudeville. Willmar got
8 hits to Litchfield's 4. Hengstler
struck out 9 and Tharalson 4, and
each allowed one base on balls.

The Willmar Seminary defeated
Atwater Saturday 4 to 2. The
game was l to 0 in favor of At
water till the sixth when the stags
poked out enough hits to bring in
3 runs, thereby securing lead
which Atwater was unable to over
come. Kiland pitched steady
game for Willmar. allowing only 4
hits and striking out six. DeFoe
went in for Atwater in the seventh
and kept the Seminary from furth-
er scoring. A brilliant one-handed
circus catch by Poke" Larson in
left field was one of the features of
the game.

East won the seventh game of
the series and the championship
from South last Wednesday after
noon in fast and furious game,
the final score being 8 to z.
The game seesawed from the first
to the last inning, and the outcome
was in doubt until Clarence Berg,
or 'Bugs' as he is called when he
plays ball, scampered across the
rubber with the winning tally. In
the fifth South pounded "Bones''
Hoglund for three runs, and for a
while it looked as if the game was
theirs, but in the next three inn
ings East went after Aim and gath
cred up enough to tie the score,
winning in the ninth. on two hits
and an error. Both sides played a
clean, snappy game. Ralph Fors-
berg, South's diminutive CENTER
fielder, played a clever game. He
was about the smallest thing the
sporting editor has ever seen at
tached to bat, but that did not
prevent him from landing hard on
the ball. For East Jack" Dough-
erty at 3rd and "Bob" johnson at
1st pulled off some brilliant stunts,
but nearly every member of both
teams succeeded in adding some
thing to the fireworks of the day.
By winning this game East Sc
cured the prize offered by the Trib-
une, the best batiin the collection at
Carlson Bros. & Frost's, and in ad-
dition the boys were treated to an
ice cream soda. They showed their
appreciation by coming to the Irib-

IL to IL in favor of Willmar was
the way it looked at Benson last
Saturday when the local high school
boys played with Benson. And at
that they played only six innings,
the game coming to an end on ac-
count of rain. Willmar got "a hits
to 'Benson's IA. Downs and Carl
son got five hits apiece, and Della
Hunt and Hornbeck each got a
home run: iltmar scored 9 runs
in the fifth. Another interesting
feature was the fact that Hengstler
retired from the mound with only
one gone and bases full in the first
inning. Downs took his place and

let us consider a few fundamentals of crop
growing
First. there are six positive. absolutely es-
sential factors. They are: % the seed,
(2) the plant home go the food of which the
plant is made ca moisture. (5) neat, co. light.
Now. except In the case of the .sei and plant
food these factors are largely beyond the farm
er's control. Dame Nature can however be
trusted to attend to them satisfactorily. How.
then. has the farmer made use of his ability to
control the two factors? BY exercising judg-
ment and care In the selection of seed and by
ignoring the matter of plant food entirely. The
result? When the land was worn out and had
no plant food to give the good seed the agricul-
turst arose irately In farmers institute and
told what he thought of the seed seller. The
trouble all the time was not with the seed but
with the soil, which had had the elements of
plant food removed in previous crops. and as
a consequence could not respond to the call of
the seea.
What are these elements? There are ten
in the list. but eight provided abundantly
Three-oxygen hydrogen and carbon-come
directly from the air and water Most
NAL soils contain enough potassium. magne.
stun. iron calcium and sulphur. although some
times the first must be supplied. The problem
of plant food. therefore, narrows itself, in most
cases, to maintaining and increasing the phos.
phorus and nitrogen.
Now nitrogen is as easy to catch as the
measles If one knows how. The air contains
it in inoonceivable amounts. Dr. Hopkins has
estimated that the air above an acre of ground
contains about s10,O00000 worth, if sold over
the counter at ordinary commercial rates. In
order to induce this nitrogen TO enter the
Earth. where it may reappear as food for man.
all that is necessary is to plant clover, alfalfa
peas or any leguufe. BY means of the bacteria
upon the roots thesa legumes draw the nitro
gen into the soil How necessary the element

Money for Tuberculosis Work.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
gives forcible illustration of the way
IN which small sum spent in educa-
tlon has secured large appropriations
from state. county, and municipal Of
tcials. The New York State Chart
ties Aid association in the three years.
1908, 1909, and 1910, has spent in the
upstate portion Of New York about
$4,000 in arousing the people to the
dangers of tuberculosis. AS a direct
result OF the public sentiment pro
duced by this outlay. the state. coun-
ty, and municipal authorities have al
ready appropriated for tuberculosis
work $1,500,O00 and appropriations for
hundreds of thousands of dollars are
pending. Hundreds of hospital beds
have been provided, and the associa.
ton already aims for mo Uncared-ior
tuberculosis in 1915"
Thus, the National association says
IL 100000 is realized from the sale
Of Red Cross seals, millions more will
be added to 1t from the public treas
uries. Last year 25,000,000 stamps
were sold. 1t is aimed to sell four
times as many this year.

of nitrogen is may be seen from the fact that
a 100-bushel crop of corn takes from the soil
almost 100 pounds of nitrogen in the corn and
about As pounds In the stalks. Rich, welbal-
anced land in the corn belt contains about
5000 pounds of nitrogen. Therefore il the
process of subtraction of nitrogen goes on
year after year with never an addition, 1t can
DE seen clearly that the farmers finances can
not multiply. Rotation plans for grain farm
ers always should include crop Of legumes.
Wheat corn, oats and clover is a satisfactory
rotation; also wheat, corn and COW peas; also
cotton, corn and oats and peas The first
of these rotations should include a catch crop
OF clover seeded the first year and plowed un-
der for corn as late as practicable the second
year. The other two should include catch
crops of legumes whenever possible Legumes
when plowed under perform valuable services
besides supplying the soil with nitrogen-as
they decay they supply organic matter to the
soil which helps other elements of plant food
to free themselves from the earth aud into the
farmers bank account
Now that the question of nitrogen has been
outlined, suppose turn TO the problem OF
phosphorus, the only element OF plant food We
ever shall have to buy. AS 20 the importance
of the use of phosphorus upon the common
soils of the United States, DR.. Hopkins has
this to say:
Phosphorus is the key to permanent ag
rieulture on these lands. To maintain or in
crease the amount Of phosphorus in the soil
makes possible the growth of clover or other
legumes and the consequent addition of nitro
gen from the nexhaustible supply in the air;
and with the addition of decaying organic mat
ter In the residues of clover and other crops
and in manure, made in large part from clover
hay and pasture, and from the larger crops OF
corn and other grains which clover helps TO
produce comes the possibility of hberatng
from the immense supplies in the soil sufficient

Fastening the iulpoverishment of the SOIL
To return to the question of limestone one
ton TO the acre finely ground will correct the
acid condition of most soils. II Is, however,
In the end cheaper and easier to apply more
and to apply Ii less often. AS much as ten
tons to the acre was applied to the soil of one
of the experiment fields In southern Illinois
and the crop yields there have been greater
than upon any other fields In that district.
A question that has been given much at
tention lately is the question of crop rota-
ton Undoubtedly 1t is absolutely essential
for successful grain farming but 1t is not
the universal panacea some would have US be-
lieve For instance, a group Of theorists
have declared that fertilization is unnecessary,
that crop rotation will keep the soils in per-
feet condition. TIE idea is that plants do not
injure the soil because they use its plant food
elements but beccdse they throw off poisonous
excreta as animals do. Therefore a so-called
worn-out soil simply has become saturated
with this excreta. Plant crop which will
neutralize the poison of the last crop and the
soilsoil will be sweetened and the breasts OF
Mother Earth kept dripping with plenty for
ever. This is very attractive-as theory It
has, however, no foundation in fact. AS Dr.
Hopkins has said the rotation of crops has just
the same effect upon wealth in the sooil as
the rotation of the check book among the
members of the family has upon the wealth
in the bank. Plant food elements carnot be
used up and not returned withou. resulting
in impoyerishment of the soil.
