Lightning Kills Few.

In 1906 lightning killed only 169
people in this whole country. Ones
chances Of death by lightning are
less than two in a million. The
chance Of death from liver, kidney
or stomach trouble is vastly greater,
but not If Electric Bitters be used,
as Robert Madsen, of West Burling-

him up after eight months of su~er-

The Use OF Nitrate of Soda


Nitrate OF soda IS the most avail
able source OF ammonia, as it is en-
tirely soluble. 1t does not have to
undergo decomposition to become
available as do the other sources of
ammonia. but 30 soon as it reaches
the moisture Of the soil 1t is dissolv-
ed Immediately and Is at once avail
able to the plant as food. Owing to
the readiness with which it dissolves,
1t should be used with care. as it Is
liable to be washed out of the soil
by heavy rains.
Nitrate Of soda should not be used
with stable manures as denitrifica-
tlon is liable to take place and thus
the nitrogen Is lost as 1t passes into
the air as free nitrogen. The time
TO apply nitrate OF soda to grain Is
IN the early spring, from March 1st
TO March 18th, at the rate Of 100
pounds per acre. 1t should be aD-
pIlcd TO cotton as a top dressing
when the first squares are formed.
Most farmers make the mistake OF
waiting too late to apply the nitrate
OF soda to the cotton and corn. 1t
should be applied to corn when the
corn is about waist high.
The yield Of sweet potatoes can
be enormously increased by applying
200 pounds after the vines have
thoroughly covered the ground Ap-
ply after a rain and after the dew
has dried off. The amount that
should be applied to cotton, and corn
varies with the fertility Of the soil.
the amount Of other fertilizers used
and the seasons. A wet year nitrate
Of soda should be applied in one or
two applications. and it Is usually
more profitable to use it a wet year
than during dry one. At the ex-
pertinent station we have used as
much as 200 pounds per acre on
corn and cotton proftably. Nitrate
OF soda is an especially valuable fer.
tiliZer to gardeners and truck farm
ers, 1t produces rapid, healthy
growth in vegetables.
Ihe use OF nitrate Of soda as q
side-dressing produces darker
green foliage in plants and some.
what retards their maturity. If, how.
ever. 1t is used In the early growth
| or the plant, It may hasten matur.
| NY. 1t should be used largely as &
side application and other sources oil
ammonia should be used at time oil

This decline in rural population
is very far from being due to a
lack of prosperity. On the con-
trarary, says E.Dana Durand, in.
the Worlds Work for January,
the agricultural statistics collect
ed by the Census Bureau show
an enormous increase in the value
of farm property in this great
territory since 1900, and show
also that the yield of the princi-
pal crops was at least as great in
1908 as in 1899 and the value of
that yield far greater.
Particularly remarkable are
the agricultural statistics for
Iowa in comparison with the
population statistics. Despite a
Observation-Disclosures in the ru-
raj population, the value of
farms (includingsbuildings) in
creased during the ten years no
less than 117.3 per cent. The
average valuesof farm land per
acre increased about two and one
third timessduring this. short per-
iod. Everyone knows that the
farmers in this north-central
section havesbeen.. growing rich,
that their homes !are more COM
Portable, and that they have
more conveniences than ever be-
fore. Why, then, is the rural
population decreasing?
Perhaps it may - be that this
very prosperity of the farmers
accounts for::the decline in pop
ulation. With the higher prices
which they have received for
their products, they could afford
to buy better machinery, which
reduced the need for labor.
Again, it is likely that many
farmers have felt unwilling to
divide up their land among their
sons; instead they have been
able, by reason of their prosper
ity, to send their sons to newly
opened agricultural territory in
the West or southwest, or Can
ada, and furnish them the means
to start for themselves on a lar
ger scale than would have been
possible at hom e.-Frankfort
