FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE
Educational Posters by the Thousand

United States.

During the next three months, the
bill boards of the United States will
display 10000 educational posters on
tuberculosis, according to an an
nouncement made by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis.
This will conclude the campaign be-
gun year ago, when the National
Bill Posters association donated free
space TO the tuberculosis cause, the
Poster Printers association offered
free printing, and nine paper manu-
facturers gave the paper for the post
ers. The combined value of these sew
eral donations for this three-month
campaign is nearly 100000.
The posters are in six different de-
signs and are all printed In three col
ors. They are seven feet wide and
nine feet high. Already nearly $500
Of these posters have been hung on
the bill boards of 46 different cities.
and it is planned to distribute 10000
more before April in over 400 towns
and cities Any anti-tuberculosis so
ciety In the United States may re-
ceive free of charge, except for trans
portation, as many of these posters as
can be hung on the boards in its ter
ritory. The National association with
the tuberculosis committee of the Ma
tional Billposters and Distributors are
conducting the campaign.
The posters show in graphic form
how fresh air, good food, and rest
cure tuberculosis; how bad air, over
work and closed windows lead to con-
sumption; and how the careless con-
sumptive menaces the health of his
family by splitting on the floor.

FERTILIZERS AND ROTATION.

DR.. G. s. Traps, state chemist OF
Texas at A. & NJ. college, says:
1t Is not practical to maintain the
nitrogen in the soil by buying the nj
trogen in commercial fertilizers. The
nitrogen in fertilizers may supplement
that which is already present In the
soil; it therefore increases the drain
upon the soil and really makes 1t
weaker than before unless it Is used
in connection with a rotation. There
are some crops for which it would be
profitable to purchase enough nitrogen
to maintain the soil fertile, but the
plant food is not the only factor in
the production of crops and the phys
ical condition OF the soil as rule
renders the rotation of crops in which
vegetable matter will be introduced
in the soil as Imperative
rThe question whether acid phos-
phate or phosphate rock should be
used is merely one of cost and re-
turns. | have not yet decided whether
or not phosphate rock will give profit
able returns on Texas soils. ] am not,
therefore, at present advocating the
use of phosphate rock, and will not
do so until the Investigations which
| have under way and others which
shall study show satisfactory results.
I'm many sections of the South corn
is now planted in rows FIVE and six
feet apart, and at the time of laying

and grazed off or turned under in the
fall. The land may be planted in cot
ton the next year It is also practical
TO institute rotation in which oats
or millet or some similar crop will
follow by cowpeas, these by cotton,
this by corn with cowpeas between
the rows and with the oats or millet
again.

Of the acidity of Texas soils and are

Ident OF the students association sug
gests that they find some substitute
for hazing, but why not frown down
every semblance to the cowardly and
|abominable thing?
We have imagined that we were ad.
vancing In our civilization; but In col
lege life, 1t seems. we are rapidly
going back toward the days of ruder
things. The old custom of hazing was
unruly and troublesome enough, yet
It was mild and respectable compared
TO its modern phase, where even hui
man lives may pay the forfeit At all
events, the game Is considered tame,
indeed, unless something extremely
destructive, injurious or annoying is
done.
The practice Is actually barbarous
and the Republic begs pardon OF the
barbarians who would never indulge
In anything SO unbecoming II they had
college opportunities. Hazing in Amer
lean universities is not only a very
narrowing domestic experience, but 1t
Is bringing us into disrepute in the
eyes of other countries. Even the peo-
pies we look down upon as semi
civilized view our hazing practices
with horror and establishment II is
high time that our college authorities
took vigorous measures to suppress
this fragrant evil San Antonio Re-
public.
