Suggestion to Have Different
kationaIitiss in City March
In Native Oress.
FOR ATHLETIC CARNIVAL
Committee Will Discuss Mat
tsrs at Meeting Tonight
In the City Hall.

Geveral new ideas will be advanced
tonight at the special meeting of the
executive committee in charge of the
"safe and sane" Fourth Of July in
this city, according to statements
made by those high up In the doings
of the organization. Mayor Albert
Bollschweiler, chairman of the gener-
al committee, said today that the idea
had been suggested to have represen-
tatives of the various nations In this
city take part In the parade, in their
national costumes, and have prizes
awarded for the best costumes at the
end Of the march.
Many Countries Represented.
Many countries are represented in
this city, fact very we'll known, and
competition Of this kind would not
only be instructive to the hundreds
of children who will see the parade,
but also furnish clean rivalry for the
various participants. Such move
ment as this would also increase the
interest of the foreign element In the
celebration and make the parade one
of the most elaborate affairs ever
held in this section of the state.
Suggest Athletic Carnival.
Another suggestion made Is to
have an old fashioned athletic carni-
val in the afternoon, previous to the
addresses at city hall park These
could be In the nature of tests of en-
6lurance and skill, with few humor-
Gus trials thrown in for the amuse-
lnent Of the children.
Many think the early hours OF the
afternoon will pass slowly to those
pleasure and celebration. Sports or
any description always tend to inclte
public interest and furnish enthus1-
asm for hundreds of people.
Both these questions will receive
due consideration at tonights meet
ing, which will be held in city hall.

staying away of his own accord, or
whether he is being held. Some of
the neighbors who knew him are in

Nitroqenous Man e.

Nitrogen is the most expensive Of
the plant food elements that farmers
have to buy, and the demand for this
element is so great that manufacturers
of commercial fertilizers are stimu-
lated to use nitrogenous materials
which in some cases are now of great
manurial value. The Rhode Island
station has experimental with num-
ber Of these materials, among which
were "nitrogenous manure" hide and
skin meal azotin," tartar manure"
beet refuse compound, patented nitro
genous manure or sulphocyanide ma
nure." Nitrate of soda and dried
blood were used in the tests for COM
parison.
1t will be interesting to farmers
everywhere to note the results obtain
ed with these substances. Five crops,
barley, millet, oats, millet and oats,
were grown successfully on the same
soil in pots to determine the avail
ability of the nitrogen in these fertil
izers. The "nitrogenous manure" was
the most valuable Of the first four
sources of nitrogen mentioned above
and yet II was only about half as val
liable as blood. The hide and skin
meal" tartar manure" and beet re-
fuse compound" were of little value
as sources of nitrogen, at least when
applied Immediately before planting
as would be done in ordinary practice.
The beet refuse compound" was said
to contain cyanideS, on which account
it is advised by the promoters that it
be applied sometimes previous to
planting. Under the conditions of the
experiment slight toxic effects were
noted in some cases with this materi-
al. The station concludes that the eX-
travagant claims made for these sub
stances as sources of nitrogen seem to
be wholly contrary to the facts.
While nitrogen is one of the most
expensive of the plant food elements
the farmer has an abundant supply
always at hand. The air contains an
unlimited amount of free nitrogen that
can be captured and made over into
plant food simply by growing cloVerS
and other legumes. This is the cheap
est and best way to get nitrogen into
the soil. and every farmer can get it
that way. Sometimes it is necessary
TO apply commercial nitrogen. in
which case II is advisable to buy it in
the form of nitrate of soda, dried
blood. or some form that has proven
TO be quickly available. and worth the
money. The usual forms of nitroge-
nous manures may not be worth the
money.

A Significant Notice.-Richard Gro
ker, the day of his departure for his
Irish home, said to New York re-
porter, according to the Washington
Star:
1T is the desire for freedom that
sends so many Americans and so many
millions of dollars abroad every June.
The Puritanical laws of America en-
slave us. These laws, with their total
miscOnception of freedom and Of en-
joyment. are we'll exemplified in a no.

Humus.

very large proportion Of our soils
dition they were in originally. These
soils, no doubt, lack phosphate and
lime, but these are not the only ele-
ments they have been robbed Of.
One is the humus. 1t is in the hu-
mus the nitrogen is mostly found. OF
course, the less humus there Is, the
less nitrogen. Then, besides, 1t Is i'm
the humus element that useful bacte-
ria work The less of humus, the less
bacteria action we will get.
The question then arises. how to
put humus into our land the cheapest
and best way. If we have much lands
we can haul it out on the land needing
1t, but muck should lie q year
first, and be shoveled over once or
twice to get rid of the pyroligeneous
acid.
Another way is to plow under in
the fall the second crop Of clover or
the last crop of alfalfa. This works
splendidly, and we have seen some
very poor, barren soils brought up
quickly.
Another good way is to SOW corn
ground or stubble land in the fall with
a bushel of winter rye to the acre, af-
ter first working up the land we'll with
a disc or spring tooth cultivator.
Then plow this rye under in the spring
sowing on before plowing, say, five
hundred pounds of raw rock phos-
phate. Work the ground down we'll in
the spring to get the two layers Of soil
we'll united and plant to corn. Most
farmers hate to plow under a good
crop of clover or alfalfa But it must
be remembered that we can rarely buy
humus it must be manufactured on
the land itself in most cases. Hence
the crop of clover or alfalfa becomes
of great and lasting value to such
lands
If our farmers would pay more at
tention to this matter Of storing away
the elements of fertility of which hu-
mus Is chief, their farms would soon
demonstrate their ability to produce
large and profitable crops.-Hoard's
Dairyman.

In old days when school took In"

not later than eight i'm the winter, even
girls would walk two TO three miles.

was not unusual for young men, 20 to

to school. They would make a stall
i'm the shade for their horse. Col. I.
G. McKissick, when young man.
rode from his home on Pea Ridge,
across Pacolet, at Skull Shoals. to a
school at Pleasant Grove. They had
good teacher at Pleasant Grove, and
there was none or poor one near his
home. The distance was about seven
miles Several young men walked
three To five miles to attend the school
of ID. ID. Rosa, at Limestone Springs.
1t was the same way in all this up
country where there was a superior
teacher.
1t was usual for young men to make
a crop and after laying by they would
attend school. 1t was a most laudable
ambition in them. They wished to get
education enough to transact business
with ease.
When young man lived several
miles from school he would some
times secure board near the school
house from Monday night till Friday
noon He would walk or ride In tC

" Sensational charges have been
made by James Wickersham, delegate
i'm congress from the territory of Alas

eral June 13 last. saying that the stat
ute of limitations had expired. The
expiration Of the time limitation came
about. according to the Alaskan dele

Too Much SSvins Is Waste.


The United States department of
agriculture recently completed an in
vestigation of the cost and profit of
producing grain throughout the Unit
ed States. 1t shows that to grow and
harvest an acre Of wheat in Vermont
costs twenty dollars, which is three
times the average cost in Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, the Dakotas, Ne
braska and Kansas But Vermont gets
forty-two dollars worth of wheat on
her acre, leaving a profit of twenty
two dollars an acre, and this is more
than double the average profit for an
acre in the western states named.
In growing wheat Vermont spends
over six dollars an acre for fertilizer,
and the average expenditure for ferti-
about ten cents an acre. Hence Ver-
mont's high cost for an acre; hence
also her high profit. To grow. and har-
vest an acre of oats in Vermont costs
sixteen dollars, and this is over two
and one-half times the average cost
in the other states; but the net profit
on the acre of oats is decidedly high
er than in the other states, in some of
which the average expenditure for
fertiliZing oats land is only five cents
or less an acre.
English land that has been under
cultivation for centuries yields thirty
bushels or over of wheat to the acre
about double the average yield in
the United StateS-aS a result of prop
er fertilization. What will some of
our best farm lands be yielding a hun
dred years from now under the pres
ent system? One English experiment
upon two plots Of similar ground cov-
cred fifty-one years. At the end of
that period the fertilized plot was
yielding thirty-three bushels of wheat
to the acre; the unfertilized plot was
yielding twelve and one-half bushels
to the acre.
Fertilizers are somewhat expensive.
A man can save something by not US
ing any. Also he can save something
by not feeding his livestock; but he
doesn't gain in the end.
