TREATY
is STRONGLY OPPOSED
(sy Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Hearings on
the Mccall bill to carry out the provisions
of the Canadian reciprocity agreement
were begun by the senate committee on
finance today. John Strange. of Neenah,
Wis. a paper manufacturer and former
lieutenant governor OF his state. opposed
the bill, charging that false sentiment in
favor of it had been manufactured by q
league of newspapers, which he believed
to be in violation of the Sherman anti
trust law.
Mr. Strange said in part: This coun-
try has no more need for Canadian pulI
wood than it has for Canadian disease
germs There are many woods which
are better than spruce. The mrs of tns
northwest make excellent paper. anC
there is nothing better than the sof
woods of the SOUTH
Mr.. Strange declared that If the Dem
ocrats knew what they were about. they
would take such action as would make
them the future paper makers OF th'
country.
Mr. Strange declared that Wisconsin
Minnesota and West Virginia in 20 year!
would be growing enough for all the mill.
of the country and that paper making
was Just developing in the south through
the utilization of timber unit for lumber.

House of Commons
Discusses Reciprocity

LONDON, Feb. 20.-Again today in
the house Of commons the government
was made the target for a multiplicity
of questions regarding the United
States-Canada reciprocity agreement.
The replies Of the ministers evaded the
political controversies which the Union
list hecklers sought to develop.
The Unionists were especially active
in suggesting that Ambassador Bryce
had failed in his duty of watching over
British interests. Premier Asduith
stanchly defended the diplomat.
Regarding the expression of Champ
Clark, who told the house of represen-
tatives that he hoped to see the Stars
and Stripes flying over the British
North American possessions, Mr.. AS
quith remarked:
II consider 1t unnecessary to give
fictitious importance to the alleged
statement by sending official instruc-
tions to the ambassador to inquire
whether the statement was made. I am
quite ready to believe that 1t was made
but have no official knowledge there
or"

To make money growing small fruits
maximum crops must be grown with
minimum labor. To be able to do this
enc must possess a natural aptitude for
the business and work that is to say one
must have love for nature and also
be filled with intense interest and en-
thusiasm which creates the necessary
incentive.
Much. of the work connected with the
business of growing and marketing a
superior crop Of small fruits, is exact
ing and puttering In it's nature, requir-
ing a great deal of knee and finger
drill Lack of interest and enthusiasm

of nitrogen. Sc per cent of phosphoric
acid and 3.5 per cent of potash. For SAN
DIV lands not well supplied with vegetable
matter. It would be too low in all the
essential elements of plant food, however,
and this difficulty could not be over
come unless muriate of potash were sub
stituted for the kainit, In that event, you
could get a considerably higher grade
of fertilizer by mixing together. 600
pounds of meal. 1000 pounds OF ACID
and 200 pounds of kainit. This formula
used at the rate OF 500 pounds per acre
would be better for any land that does
not contain fair amount of vegetable
matter, or to which you can apply yard
manure or compost at the rate of not
less than two tons per acre. This formu-
la should be used at the rate OF not
less than 500 pounds. 1t seems to me the
use Of 1000 pounds of nitrate of soda
as top dressing was excessive, and
can not understand how it could have
been profitable unless the land was SO
thoroughly devoid of heterogeneous sub
stances and vegetable matter as to be
practically an infertile land. I do not
think there are many cases recorded
where more than $50 pounds of nitrate
of soda has proven profitable on ordl-
nary field crops OF course, as much as
$50 TO 500 pounds per acre may some
times be used with advantage on truck
ing lands. There is no reason in the
world why the addition of cotton seed
meal to nitrate of soda should improve
1t as a top dressing. The nitrogen in
cotton seed meal is in an organic form
and must undergo fermentation before
il can be available to plants. 1t under
goes this fermentation more readily In
the soil than out of it. On the other
hand, nitrate of soda contains its nitro
gen in an Immediately available form
and may be dissolved by the moisture
rising through eapillarity. and conveyed
to the feeding area Of the roots Of
plants.

@wAY DOWN SOUTH IN THE LAND
OF COTTON"

The South may we'll lay claim to the
title, 'Iand of Cotton" There nearly
fourteen million bales of cotton are pro-
duced each year, out of total world
crop of twenty million bales.
The production of cotton oil shows
up even more favorably.
The choicest cotton oil goes into the
manufacture of Cottolene, which has
won favor not only on its merits as a
frying and shortening medium, but be-
cause of its purity and wholesomeness.
Cottolene is as wholesome and gen
uine as the far famed hospitality of the
sunny South"

FENCE REPAIRS NEEDED
Nearly every farm needs some fences
which it does not possess at the present
time. Probably the fences already built
need repair The winter is the time to
do it, Work of this character can be
carried on to excellent advantage and II

ergy Of teams and laborers during the

A good wood pile beside the kitchen is
a most desirable thing. IL gives inspi-
ration to the housewife and avoids much
hardship on her part. The wood gath
cred up during the winter and allowed
TO season burns more readily and Is
cured out in prime condition giving
maximum amount of heat. In the mean
time the wood land has been cleared OF
dead trees and litter and Is not so Ia
BILE TO suffer from fire the next season
and besides IT presents a tidy appearance
and the young trees viii have a better

performed. These are some. of the inn
portant matters which should>receive the
attention OF every farmer during the
