a highly patriotic body. even though it Is
claimed that they are creating a class by

would be hne. There are about 5000
members of the Daughters. scattered all
over the country which would provide
the American empire with a nucleus and
medium for disseminating royal and i'm
perisi ideas. The Daughters, however, are
not the only pebbles on the beach There
are the Colonial Danes. the Daughters Of
Founders and Patriots, and other equally
enthusiastic patriots and candidates for
medals. ribbons. and titles of distinction.
How about the men? There are lots
OF organizations which would jump at the
idea % kneebreeches, swords. powdered
hair, and titles. What's the matter with
the Sons Of the Revolution. the male
counterpart Of the daughters. although
not quite as militant and progressive?
The sons and the daughters, all done up
with gold braid and sporting titles such
as the Duchess of Oshkosh and his grace
the Baron Of Podunk, would form a most
! attractive encourage for Theodore I. En-
peror Of America.

The application of these principles
to the individual crop must be left to
the man who is growing the crop ard
who is familiar with the conditions
of the soil on which 1t is being grown.

Short Talks About Fertilizers.
A READING COURSE..-By E. E. MILLER


cotton or corn. 1t may be worth
while to remark right here, however,
that most of these truck crops are
grown in soils already fertile and
that this is one of the reasons why
such large quantities of fertilizer can
be profitably applied to them. AS a
rule, the richer the land the more
fertilizer that can be profitably used.
This is readily explained when one re-
members that the ability of any plant
to take up the food in the soil de-
ponds upon the supply of soil mois-
ture and the bacterial life OF the soil.
In fertile soil these favorable con-
ditions exist and the plant food
which may be applied is readily util-
lied by the growing crop. In poor
soil-one that is dry and deficient in
humus, or water-logged and deficient
in bacterial life-plant food ap-
piled in fertilizer remains, to large
extent, useless to the crop, simply
because conditions are not such that
the plants can take it up.
Some Rules Worth Remembering.
A few general rules-subject to
many exceptions. as are all general
rules-may then be given as guides
to profitable fertilization.
ID Quick growing crops require
large amounts of plant food In avail
able forms, since there Is not time
during their growth for the supplies
Of plant food in the soil to be con-
gerted into soluble forms. In this
connection 1t must be remembe
however, that warmth and moisture
are the greatest factors in promoting
the bacterial activity which changes
insoluble plant food to soluoble
forms and that these factors are
stronger In the summer than during
the winter. Notification, for exam
pie, is much more rapid in we'll
titled corn field during the summer
months than In the same field In win
ter time, or when 1t Is planted In a
crop which receives no cultivation.
(2) Slow-growing crops which oc-
cupy the land for a number OF years
can usually utilize to best advantage
those forms OF plant food which be-
come slowly available through long
periods of time. One would supply
phosphoric acid to his potatoes, for
example. in the most readily available
form, acid phosphate, while for his
grass or his orchard trees, the slow
er acting and less readily available
bone meal is often considered pre-
ferable.
f3) Crops whose principal value
depends upon their growth OF leaves
and stalks demand liberal supplies OF
nitrogen. Those largely made up OF
starchy cells need much potash /:
while those in which grain or seed
is the principal consideration need
especially phosphoric acid. One
wishing to grow crisp, tender lettuce,
for example, would want to fertilize
1t heavily with nitrogen. II he
were raising potatoes, he would be
sure that his soil was abundantly
supplied with potash II a grain crop
was being grown, he would give
first heed to the supply OF phosphoric
acid. OF course. any crop must have
enough OF all OF the elements and
will be always limited by that ele-
ment which is less abundant. But

the purchase of fertilizers if the best
results are to be obtained Some
plants can utilize plant food in forms
which are utterly unavailable to 9TH
er crops. Certain crops, too, require
much larger amounts Of certain ele-
ments, comparatively speaking, than
are required by other crops growing
on the same soil with them. The
fertilizer needed on a given soil for a
corn crop will not be the same as
that needed on the same soil by a
crop OF wheat, or cowpeas, or cotton.
All these things the farmer must con-
slider when he goes to buy his fertil-
izers. 1t is impossible to give any
exact formula which will be best for
any crop under all conditions but
there are a few general principles
which should be continually kept in
mind.
Some Special Needs Of Wheat and
Corn, for example, needs an abun-
dant supply Of all the elements of
plant food. requiring during the
growing season especially large
amounts Of nitrogen to enable 1t to
make a strong growth Of stalk and
leaves, and thus to attain that vital
ity and vigor Of growth which will
enable 1t later in the season to ma
ture heavy crop Of grain, for which
considerable quantities Of phosphoric
acid and potash will be demanded.
Wheat and oats need liberal sup
ply of nitrogen during the first few
weeks of growth. Throughout the
winter. growth proceeds more slowly
and there is less demand for so much
readily available food-in fact, large
quantities of soluble nitrogen applied
to wheat or oat crop in the fall
would be likely to be wasted, at a
considerable expense, by the teaching
of the winter rains. especially II the
crop had not made good start be-
fore cold weather came on. On the
other hand. in the spring when the
new growth begins there is a great
demand for readily available nitro
gen and this is why top-dressing OF
nitrate of soda SO often produces such
marked results on a field of winter
grain. As the crop natures there
must be available a sufficient store Of
phosphoric acid and potash to insure
stiffness of straw and we'll filled
heads. A lack OF these elements at
this time will mean weak straw and
shrunken, immature grain.
Legumes and Trucking Crops.
For most Of the leguminous crops
1t is necessary on many soils to sup
ply only phosphoric acid, since they
are able to get their supply Of nitro
gen from the air. They cannot do
this, however, unless the particular
bacteria which thrive on their roots
are present in the soil, and in some
cases 1t is advisable to use nitrog-
enous fertilizer to give the young
legumes a start so that they will be
able to supply their own nitrogen.|
This is often true Of the alfalfa crop
Quick growing crops, as are most
vegetables. demand large supplies of
readily available food, since in their
few weeks or months of life there is
not time for much elaboration Of the
plant food in the soil. This is why
the trucker finds 1t profitable to apply
quantities of fertilizer to his potato

GROWING IN
MAGNITUDE
(By United Press Leased Wire)

TOXIC, July 27.-Absence of re-
ports from the prefecture of HOk-
kado, concerning prolonged earth
quake shocks, and violent eruption
of Mount Usu, accompanied by an
upheaval of Usu bay and the flight
of thousands of natives from the
vicinity of the mountain in panic,
leads today to the fear here that
the CONFUSION may prove more Sc
we're than was at first reported.
The absence of further details
regarding conditions in southern
Yezo following the eruption causes
apprehension that the authorities
of Hakodate and other cities in the
southern part of the island are I'M
able to cope with the situation and
relieve the homeless and starving
refugees. The first advices re-
ceived from Yezo indicated that
the villages on the mountainside
were destroyed; that the volcano
crumbled under the mighty pres
sure eXerted by forces within it's
cavernOus depths, and that the
floor of the bay of Usu rose sud
denly, driving the waters of the
bay inland and carrying vessels to
destruction. 1t is believed here
that the ships referred to were
fishing craft and it is hoped that
the crews escaped death.
The admiralty is awaiting word

which have been sent northward
and which are due off Yezo to-
night. Word was received that a

AER0PLANES

WASHINGTON, July Eff con-
gress doesn't balk, the United
States government WILL within the
next six years, have six aeroplanes
to use in determining the exact
value of air craft in modern war
fare. According to belief, a plan to
ask congress for $75, 600 for the pur-
chase of the aeroplanes is being
backed by Secretary of War Dickin-
son and Secretary of the Navy
Meyer. 1t is expected that the
proposition will be put up to con-
gress at the next session and that
strenuous efforts will be made to
secure the appropriation. 1t is the
intention of the authorities, it is
said, to experiment with the ma
chimes for both army and navy use.
