manure and crop residues for the pro-
duction of large crops at least for
thousands Of years; whereas II the
supply of phosphorus in the soil Is
steadily decreased in the future in ac-
cordance with the past and present
most common farm practise, then
poverty is the only future for the
people who till the common agricultu-
raj lands Of the United States" !.
Phosphorus may be applied in lib
eral amounts-as much as 1000 pounds
to the acre every three or four years
and it costs about 81 a ton.
After the problem of returning the
elements to the soil has been solved
the farmer may find another condition
Of the soil which must be corrected
before his farm will produce as II
should. This is the tendency OF GER
tain soils to acidity. Clover alfalfa
and other valuable legumes cannot
thrive upon soil that is sour. ooIne-
times on acid soils when applications
of farm manure are made, the legumes
will seem to grow well, but examina-
tion reveals the fact that The nitrogen
gathering bacteria fail to develop
~nronerly. Hence the most valuable
contribution the legumes have to make
TO the soil is largely lost, upon GER

land, applications of natural limestone
were made a century ago. They are
still moderately productive, although
other fields neal by, which have never
received the application, are extreme

Care should be taken that lime
stone is used for the one and only pur
nose Of correcting soil acidity. -.

cannot haul phosphorus and nitrogen

farms year after year and maintain

BAPTIST FAITH ABROAD
ADDRESS BY DR.. SHAKESPEARE
AT BETHANY CHURCH.
Descendant of Bard of Avon Extols
Beauty of Washington-Foreign
Missions Discussed.

DR.. John Howard Shakespeare of Eng
land. collateral descendant Of the Bard
Of Avon and regarded as one of the great
est preachers In the United Kingdom
praised the architectural beauty Of many
Of the public buildings of Washington in
an address in Bethany Baptist Church,
Rhode Island avenue and I'd street north
west, last night.
II have closely observed the beautiful
cities of Berlin, Vienna and Budapest u
he said, but ! can say that the archi-
tectural beauty here surpasses that which
l have seen in the cities of the old world .
When he sailed for this country some
time ago to attend the conventions Of the
Northern and Southern Baptists, the
speaker added, he felt that he should not
complete his visit without gazing upon
some Of the famed public buildings Of the
American nation, and after he had seen
them, he said. he could truthfully say he
had not been disappointed. Rather he
had been immensely pleased.
DR.. Shakespeare then discussed the
work Of the Baptists in England and the
countries of the continent. He declared
that the Latin races do not welcome the
Baptist faith as does the great Slav race
and that can be shown, he said, when j;
is recalled what remarkable development
has been made by the faith in the EN-.
pire of the car Of all the Russias.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-05-18
Strong Religious Tendency.

THE Slavs are a passionately religious
people," said Dr.. Shakespeare, land they
are breaking away from the orthodox
Greek Church by thousands and coming
to the Baptists." He then stated that -.
Germany the Baptists are gaining greatly
In numbers, many Germans preferring it
to the Lutheran Church. In Russia, he
said. those who leave the orthodox
church are compelled to register their
names. and in this way the numbers are
correctly ascertained. as they are in Ger
many, where similar rules prevail.
DIR. Shakespeare Is secretary of the
Baptist World Alliance, which is the
power directing the work of Slavonic
peasants In their effort to become good
Baptists. He spoke approximately of
the friendly attitude of the czar toward
the Baptist denomination. Recently, he
said. one Of the leading ministers of the
Baptists In Russia was seized and thrown
into prison through the influence of those
opposed To the Bapiisfs and in few
hours after the news had reached Eng
land he and others prominent in the
work of the alliance were knocking at
the doors of the Russian embassy
soon the Russian ambassador a London
had the entire matter before the car and
the minister was released, all of which
goes to show, said DR.. Shakespeare, the
spirit OF fairness of the Russian ruler in
his treatment of church which is re-
lisiOuS and does not in any way attempt
to mix in the political affairs Of the ma
ton. "a
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-05-18
Russian Preachers Coming.

DR.. Shakespeare plans to have 100 of
the Russian preachers In attendance at
the great convention Of the Baptist AL
lance to be held In Philadelphia next
year, and Bethany Church, through its
pastor. Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson, has
pledged to pay the expenses of one. The
Northern and Southern Baptist conven-
lions have agreed 10 see that all of the
others have their way paid and are enter
tanned. Bethany. however. wants to pay
for the care of one. and DR.. Shakespeare
acceded to the request after he had been
told that the congregation gives one-half
of its donation for missions each year
to the Northern and the other half to tine
Southern Baptists.
Near the close OF the meeting Rev. Mr.
Stevenson called upon all missionaries In
attendance to come to the platform, and
the hymn Revive Me. 0 Lord was sung
in five languages. DIR. NJ. A. Hudson

Calls at White House.

DIR. Shakespeare called yesterday to see
President Taft. who surprised him with
his knowledge of the recent discoveries
concerning William Shakespeare, made
by an American i'm the British Museum.
The President said he was glad to meet
a Shakespeare in the flesh, because he
was beginning to doubt that such person
really existed. DIR. Shakespeare told the
President that he was the first member
of his family horn outside of STAFFORD
Avon for hundreds of years, and that
his pedigree is easily traceabie. The in
tcrview lasted for about half an hour.
Later at the opening of the House of

EMANUEL L. PHILIP, the Milwau-
kee railroad lobbyist, who poses as a
Republican, yet vigorously opposes all
that is democratic and has the progress
sive brand rounded up last week a
meeting of Republicans under the banner
of Taftism and party loyalty, satisfied
evidently that Stalwartism under such
a guise would smell more sweet to the
public nostril. The meeting was held at
the state metropolis, and sure enough,
a lot Of conscientious yet unthinking
Republicans were in attendance, the
presence of Vice President Sherman
being the well planned attraction. Mr..
Philip, in the capacity Of self-appointed
temporary chairman, gave the address
of welcome, dwelling with emphasis on
'Let party policies be determined by
majorities," to which The Tribune
agrees, provided majorities are not
bought. The permanent chairman of
the meeting was Levi H. Bancroft who
rode on a railroad pass when he was
attorney general of the state and was
dismissed from the position by Governor
LaFolette for the offense. lie accept
ed $3.50 from the Stephenson campaign
fund while he was a candidate for the
assembly and refused to tell how he
used the money. This Bancroft is a
fluent talker, but to follow him pollti-
cally one needs to be well up in gym
nastics. With both Philip and Ban
croft politics is business for self and
not the universal welfare Of man.
