Soil Fertility Depends Upon Humus
As Much as Plant Food.

enough moisture in tho soil to dis

the other hand, tho excess OF water
will prevent the circulation OF the

To make such test of any value,
the soil in all the plots must, of
course, be as nearly uniform as pos

tivated in the same manner and the
product of each carefully weighed or
measured. Then, too. the cost OF the
fertilizers and the amount of increase
in the crop must be calculated before
any one can form an idea as to which
fertilizer will pay best on his soil.

Conclusions.

What Ten Experiment Plots VIII
Teach You.
He will understand too, that ON
most soils there is very often more
than one OF these plant foods and
that while he can form a general
idea from the growth OF his crops.
he must make careful comparative
tests. to acquire accurate information
as to which plant food is the most
needed and in what quantities.
Various methods have been out
lined for making these fertilizer
tests. One OF the most accurate is
to divide an acre or half-acre into ten
equal portions. as follows:

tilizer.
Plot No. 2. Nitrogen should be ap-

DEcRYING VICTOR BERGER

Editor Herald: Your editorial speak
ing of Victor Berger eating pie out Of
his hand, stating that someone had OBJ
jected to his style Of eating, and your
humorous reply: Whose hand should
he eat it out Off" reminds me that
there are few in this glorious country
of ours who are taking the very bread
out of the mouths of thousands of poor
men, women and children and who are
looked upon as shrewd business men.
And these shrewd fellows will do
everything in their power to handicap
such men as Victor Berger because he
believes in every man having an equal
chance in this life; because he is op-
posed to few men owning this coun-
try and everybody in it. 1t is to be
hoped the people will come to under
stand that Socialism does not mean
the dividing up of what people now
have, but that it means the dividing
of chances Of getting what is to be had;
that instead of earning So and getting

DANCING MADE ELOQUENT

THE present season at the Los Angeles houses
of amusement is already notable one tor the
high class and variety OF attractions offered
to the public The past few weeks have forced this
fact to public attention with d series OF brilliant
events. both musical and dramatic.
Particularly is this true OF offerings that appeal
to the intellect and the artistic senses Stimuli
taneouslv with the close OF remarkable run OF
grand opera we had Nazimova in Ibsen plays, then
an all too bref visit from Ellen Terry IN Shakes
pearean ecturc-acting and now the Imperial Rus
sian ballet and the classic RussO-Grecl dances, all
of them it is gratifying TO say, received with the
discrimination and enthusiastic patronage that at
tend their appearance in the oldest cities that as
sune superiority in the matter Of culture.
A worthy link in this chain Of attractions is the
Russian troupe now at the Auditorium. We are
given hint of what it means to provide such
things in the information that it cost Manager
Behymer $4,000 to make ready for the first per-
forrnance but fortunately Mr.. Behymers venture
bids fair to prove not Improbable. No such dane
ing, if it may properly be so called ever has been
seen in America. II is art which had been lost
and which happily, has been found again. Nine.

SOCIALISM AND THE HOME

Editor Herald: That Socialism will
destroy the home is such an old gag
it is hardly worth ones notice, but
when one proves such ignorance of the
meaning of Socialism as did the writer
who signs herself Mother in the Let
ter Box of November %. I cannot re-
frain from saying few words.
l would like to ask the dear sister
what is destroying the home today?
If she will go into the slum or tene-
ment districts of any large city she
will find places of abode that can
scarcely be called home. A shanty
with a bed oc straw broken stove
and a few tumble-down chairs, is not
a home, but simply a place to drop into
after a day of toll. Even our good
homes cannot be fully enjoyed by a
man worn with long hours of toll, or a
woman whose household duties make
her a slave. The rich may have pal
aces, but while the fathers time is
spent in planning to squeeze more
profit out of his employees, and the
mother is worn with society cares, the
home cannot be ideal or the children
unselfish.
We are told that in New York city
there are 10000 bedrooms without a
window. Today there are about S,O0O,O 900
women out in the world struggling for
bread. Can these women care prop
erly for homes and families? There are
g, 100000 children working in mills,
mines and factories. Would they be
there if they had good homes? Last
summer in Chicago and New York
babies died by the hundreds because of
impure milk.
If our homes are perfect, why 50
many divorces? Many men today do
not dare marry because under the
present high cost of living and low
wages they are afraid they cannot
maintain a home.
Socialism will not destroy the home,
but rather give to all an opportunity
to have a home by giving to every
worker the full product of his toll. 1t
will take children out of factories and
place them in schools. 1t will give
everybody a chance to develop the best
there is within. MARY THRASHER.

OF the important ones :...
Buv early. The stocks are more varied, prices

proper attention. , ..:f,.
Make up the list of those you must send 9litS

early. They will be more likely to reach their des-
tinations in good condition After December 10

In addressing parcels for mail or express dellv-
erv write the address plainly and also put your own
address on the package, that you may be notlhed
if it goes astray.
Be sure your parcels are properly wrapped ana
securely tied and that your card IS with each gl1t
That is a courtesy that the recipient IS entitled TO
