JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

In yesterdays Timesett appeared the
statement that a committee from Par

light plant, with the IDEA OF sut nit
ting a proposition for the purchase of
it, to the city. The true statement
of the matter was that committee
of three from Parsons was here to in.
spect the lighting plant and this COM
mittee was in direct opposition to the
committee that was here last winter
with the idea of submitting propos-
ition for the purchase of it, to the
city.
Parsons, Leavenworth, Lawrence
and Emporia plants are under the
control of the company that sent its
representatives to Chanute last win
ter. In Parsons the electric rates
have been raised by this company so
hight that the building of municipal

templated. For this reason the COM
mittee composed of L. J. Beagle, A.

BILL UP TO TAKE OVER
ALL EXPRESS COMPANIES
Sen, Gardner Introduces Meas
ure Which He Says Would
Lower Rates
lRv Associated press.l

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. - Senator
Gardner, of Maine, today introduced a
bill under which the government would
take over the properties of the express
companies and operate them as part
of the postal service, extending the SER
vice to the rural delivery.
The measure indicates the probable
cost of taking over the properties as
follows: Real property $14,933169,
equipment 1881 ,405, material and sup
plies $13s,210, advance payments on
contracts $5,S36,666 and franchises,
good will, ETC., $10,s77,569. a total of
$39,165,S19.
While the balance sheets of the COM
panies show other assets of nearly
S15O,O0O,000 Senator aGrdner argues
that these are not devoted to express
service and that this property might
be retained by the corporations without
impairing it's value.
1t is proposed by the authors of the
bill for the establishment of the pos
tai express" including members of both
branches of congress, that rates charged
for express service under the govern
ment shall be based upon weight and
length of haul rather than upon the sys'
tenn in effect for the carrying of mail.
The power to fix rates would rest with
the postoff1ce department. subject to
appeal TO the interstate commerce COM
mission.

q good fertilizer for corn and cotton
Thought probably this would be cheaper
than to use cotton seed meal.
1T would be impossible to determine
the percentage of plant food in hulled
cotton seed from which the oil has not
been expressed. 3 These seed would prob
ably run from one-quarter to one-third
higher in plant food than ordinary cot
ton seed, but, Of course. this is simply
an estimate, and might not be borne
out from actual chemical examination
of the seed. We can see little reason
why should go to the trouble of put
ting the meats into the condition men
toned in your letter where you expect
to use them as fertilizer. The food in
this condition VIII not become available
much more quickly than where you use
the seed. and the labor and effort in
volved in hulling them would not in our
judgment be justified OF course, seed
may be used for fertilizer where one
believes he cannot obtain a just return
for them by selling to the oil mill. You
should bear in mind, however, that a
ton of seed is. not worth much over s11
for fertilizing purposes, and that about
900 pounds of meal is equivalent to each
ton of seed in fertilizing value. With
this information before you, you can
probably determine; whether you can
make a satisfactory exchange of seed
for meal The tendency of the seed at
the present. time seems to be upward,
and the, chances are that they may
bring a little better price later on than
they have done during the early part
of the season. You should remember
that seed are high lin nitrogen and rela-
lively low in phosphorus and potash,
and on that account considerable guam
titles of acid phosphate and potash
should be used with them. a fairly
good formula to use under cotton would
be the following Mix together 40 BUSH
els of seed, $50 pounds of phosphorus
acid and so pounds of muriate of potash.
