RESULTS WITH FERTILIZERS

The other day I overheard two
farmers talking Of their experience
with the use Of commercial fertilizer
on corn. Both had used the fertilizer
on corn. One had drilled it in with
his seed with a corn drill. He had
left a few rows without fertilizer and
he said that he could not see any
difference between this and where he
had applied the fertilizer.
He did not say whether there was
much or any vegetable matter in the
soil. but l took it that the soil was
lacking in vegetable matter as he had
not turned any crops of clover or any
thing else under.
The other farmer had turned one or
two crops of Glove under. He said
that his fertilizer helped him to grow
clover and that he had grown red
clover So high that he could stick the
heads in his pockets without pulling
them off. He had applied fertilizer to
his corn and he felt sure hat he got
five dollars worth of grain for every
dollar spent for fertilizer.
Both had bought their fertilizer
from the same man.. One was salts
fled with MS fertilizer the other was
who was at fault. Whether the agent
who sold the goods or the farmer
who used them.
These experiences bring to mind an
eXperience I had with fertilizer on
corn several years ago.. L had a field
that had not been under cultivation
for a numbe Of years.
1t was badly run down and I did
not expect a heavy crop Of corn. Part
Of the field was ploWed under the
winter season and put to corn the next
spring. 1 applied about 200 pounds of
a rather low grade Of complete ferti-
lizer at rates Of 200 pounds per acre.
I grew a fairly good crop of corn.
| feel sure that I got pay for my ferti-
lizer IN the crop. The newt year the
balance of the field was plowed in
April. The soil was not SO good as
the part worked the year before but
7 expected something from the ferti-
lizer. The result was that I did not
get corn enough off this part of the
field to pay my fertilizer bill although
applied a higher grade of fertilizer
than [ had the year before and more
per acre.
The fault was not in the fertilizer
pairing it / think. The soil was rather
more sandy in the second plot. h
vegetable matter did not-have time to
decay as it was not ploWed until late.
Another time l applied fertilizer to
the corn in the hill and a row or two
Of it was left without any fert lizer.
Where there was fertilizer applied
there was a fair crop Of corn and
where there. was no fertilizer there
was no corn.
The fertilization of the crop is only
one Of several important c~ons1dera-
tons in growing a crop; seed, prepa-
ration of the sol and cultivation are
equally importantly. J. Legg.

the enormous profits Of the business.

operating expenses involved in the ex-

''The express business has been de-
fined as being chiefly railroad transpor

and losses which fall upon the railroad
companies. The railroad iucurs many

penses, and il must purchase rights o

the road Is built and IN operation there
is apparently no limit to the millions
which can be spent for additions and
improvements. An express company has
little tangible property and about all it
has to do to keep pace with growing

Miss Cleo D. Lucas were married in the
city Jail here at midnight Sunday, their
hands joined through the door of the
cell in which the doctor was locked. The
fact was discovered on the return Of the
certificate
The bride had disguised herself as a
negro boy and the justice who performed
the ceremony pretended to be friend OF
the accused man. The ostensible boy
was posing as a servant carrying deli
cacies to the prisoner, who Is held for
killing his brother in-law, Thomas Nor

the man Sherman killed, was one of ths
witnesses of the wedding,
Miss Lucas was the chief witness
against DIR. Sherman. Under the Ten

The tragedy was the elimination Of
property feud between Norman and
Sherman and was brought about by Mrs.
Norman calling her brother to her homo

ABOUT TRUST COMPANY
Bearing His Name-Books Show That
He Loaned Company Vast Sums Which
He Never Got Back - Some
Mystery in His Security.

New York, March l6,-There were
three important developments yesterday
III the grand iury's investigation into the
affairs of the defunct Carnegie Trust
company.
The district attorney announced that
Andrew Carnegie may be called as a
witness.
1t was announced that Joseph G. Rob
in, who has pleaded guilty to larceny in
connection with his banking operations,
will probably be the principal witness
to-day before the grand jury.
1T came out in the text OF letter
made public that William J Cummins.
directing head of the Carnegie Trust
company, was recommended to Charles
II. Hyde. the city chamberlain, who SUI
pervises the deposits OF city money, by
Jordan J. Rollins, now counsel for the
state banking department. Thousands
of dollars Of city funds have been tied
up in the failure Of the trust company
and in the Robin institutions.
With regard to Mr. Carnegie, District
Attorney Charles W. Whitman made this
statement yesterday;
"The books of the company show that
Andrew Carnegie lent it vast sums OF
money He never got il, and | think
it is doubtful if he ever will get it
back.
at is more than likely that Mr. Car
negie will be asked to tell the grand Jury
about these loans. He will be called
if the evidence shows his testimony is
necessary"
1f1t - Ia

berlain, was dated March -. 1910, and
said that the writer knew from many
sources and from careful inquiry that
Cummins was held in the highest esteem
in Tennessee where he had been sue
cessful in many large enterprises before

II first met Mr. Cummins, says tile
