SOME OBSERVATIONS ON FERTl
LIKING.

In the use of fertilizers there are
four laws given by Prof. Liebig, coy
ering the principles involved, which
are as follows:
81. A soil can be termed fertile
only when it contains all the mate
rails requisite for the nutrition of
plants in the required quantity and
form.
"2. With every crop portion of
these ingredients is removed. A part
of this portion is added again FROM
the inexhaustible store of the at
mOsphere; another portion, however,
is lost forever if not replaced by
man.
SO. The fertility of soil remains
unchanged if all the ingredients of
crop are given back to the land
such a restitution is effected by ma,
nure.
a. The manure produced in the
course of husbandry is not sufficient
to maintain permanently the fertili-
ty of a farm. 1t lacks the COnstit-
uents we are annually exporting in
the shape Of grains, hay, milk AMI
cattle or live stock"
These laws form the basis of oul:
reasons for fertilizing to-day, and
with our advancement in agricultu-
raj work, becomes more essential to
the agriculturalist than they were
when virgin soils, We're more abund-
ant.
With intensive farming as prac-
ticed on truck farms especially de-
mand not only a maintenance of
original fertility of this soil, but to
secure every Improvement in the
fertility and productive capacity that
is possible to accomplish.
Now, in the growth Of plants there
are fourteen elementary substances
which are necessary to form full de-
velopment. they are Carbon, Hy-
drogen, Oxygen, Chlorine, Sulphur,
Silicon, Iron, Manganese, Sodium,
Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium,
Phosphorus and Nitrogen. Carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen are almost ex.
clusively derived from the air, while
all the others are taken from the
soil, with the exception of nitrogen,
which is partly taken from the air
by leguminous plants only, (such as
peaVines and clovers.) All soils con
tain these elements in greater or
lesser proportions; however, the ell
ementS generally, either found de-
ficient or most readily exhausted by
the production and removal of the
crops, are nitrogen, PHOSPHORUS and

potatoes; it will be ready for food
by the time the potatoes need it, but
it will destroy any terminating seed
while fermenting. The balance Of
fertilizer should be thoroughly mix
ed in the soil all around the plants,
so they have nothing to do but grow
and not hunt for food. When a plant
has to make a double portion OF
roots to find sufficient food to make
a crop We are all the year getting
a crop off the ground. We need
our ground rich, so We can turn off

TRlVlALlTY VS.. VENALITY.

A nearby exchange, commenting
or the uiyial reasons of various yot
ers in supporting a certain candidate
for Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court, lLtimateS that no proper Sc.
leCGon can be made for such high
office Wnen the voters are infIu.
cdCed by the candidates sending
them Christmas or st. PatriCk's Day
lost cards. In true Federalistic spir,
it, like unto an Alexander Hamilton,
the parallel is drawn between such
selection of judges and that done
say by the Crown in England, and
the inference is that the common
people are not fitted to select their
judges, and are only permitted to do
so because of the general distrust Of
all appointiVe power
This does not follow. No one dep
recates more than we do, and on
this theme We have often grown We
hement, that the voter should be in
fluenced by trivial reasons and mad
equate motives in making his choice.
But triviality is never so bad as We
nality, and yet in face of possible
Venallty greater rights and priyi-
leges are constantly extended to the
proletariat with no increase of dan
ger to right government.
The people may be trusted And
though it sounds pitifully weak and
childish for man to vote on the
strength of a Christmas card, the
chances are all in favor Of his chOGs-
ing thereby better man than if his
vote had been bought and paid FOR.
We repeat the chances are all n
favor of the selection of the best
candidate, if that candidate is so
thorough a Democrat that he is will
ing to make personal and friendly
appeal to the voter, not thinking it
beneath his dignity so to do.
1t evidences the right spirit in the
would be judge, 1t affords not the
slightest ground for supposing that
because candidate makes such ap.
peal that he is lacking in the other
qualifications, but rather shows that
this spirit of brotherliness, added To-
other good qualities, will make him
all the better judge.
We refer to Judge Charles O'Niell.
The true Democrat. [volume] (Bayou Sara [La.]) 1892-1928, 1912-09-14
FEELING is WITH O'NlELL.

Notwithstanding Judge Charles A
O'Niell lacked less than 1000 votes
Of having a majority over the other
five candidates combined, owing to
the persistency Of Judge Robert r.
Reid, next highest, who has less than
half as many votes as Judge O'Niell,
the race will be run over. All the
odds are in Judge O'Niell's favor,
and the issue would seem to be a
foregOne conclusion. The people OF
the Fourth Supreme Court District
are to be subjected to the expense
and annoyance Of this primary, and
the man who has made one of the
most remarkable campaigns in the
political annals of Louisiana will be
forced to further expense and effort
While we have always had GER
tain admiration and respect for Judge
Reid, We must admit that his pres.
ent course heightens neither our con
fidenCe in his Judgment and sense of
proportion nor allowance for his just
ness of disposition He relies upon
not having toured the western part
Of the district, and intimates that he
calculated upon the five candidates
fighting it out among themselves
while he waited for the second pri-
mary to test lanceS with the victor.
This might seem a practical course
and promising as well had Judge
Reid developed full strength on the
east side. But the returns do not
show that he was a faVorite even
there, and it is hardly likely that he
will become so, in future, since the
average voter appreciates fair play,
and Judge Reid is showing a de-
sire to push Judge O'Niell to the
limit before conceding the victory.
All, who have admired Judge O'Nielrs
indefatigability, will have their sym
pathies stirred anew by the present
situation.

You will notice that beans, peas,
tomatoes and sweet potatoes do not
require much nitrogen added in pro-
portion to other elements, so we
must give a greater proportion Of

that cotton seed meal contains some
Of the three elements needed more

must depend on fertility of the soil

added with profit to the user and
vice versa. 500 lbs. per acre is
about the average to put under any
ordinary crop, but 1000 lbs. per acre
can be used with great profit to the
trucker sometimes. If you had an
acre that would give you $500 worth

fertilizer would increase your yield
$lO0 per acre; there is nothing so

our troubles, and that some nonper,

evident that since cotton cannot be

duced to take its place. Many have
turned to trucking in the broad sense
OF raising sweet and Irish potatoes
and peanuts, as well as other things.
GOOD roads are necessary to sue,

This matter must be approached in

potash. Therefore, as practical farm
ers, we only need to study these
elements and how to replace them
again to the soil
/. Nitrogen promotes the growth
Of stem and leaves, deepens the
color of foliage, but many times re-
tards the production of fruit and
seeds if used in excess.
:. Potash deyelopes the woody
part Of stems, the fleshy part of
fruits, and assists in the formation
of starch and in its transfer from
one part Of the plant to another.
3. PhOsphoric acid hastens maturi'
ty, aids in the use of the other in
gradients and is essential to seed
formation.
The analysis of the soils of Louis
lana show that our lands are ordi-
narily supplied in abundance with
the element Of potash already, hence
we need pay little attention to sup
plying it. (This element is suppos.
ed to be supplied by the use of the
commercial fertilizer known as Ger
man Kainite, so waste no money buy
ing it,. This leaves us to deal with
only the two great elements that
should be supplied to most every
soil, more or less.
The barnyard manure differs in
the element of fertilizing properties
according to what is fed the animal
and what kind Of an animal con-
sumes it, but most all of it has con-
siderable amount Of nitrogen (but is
not a balanced fertilizer) and also
contains organisms that will put it in
unavailable form for plant food. 1t
must be remembered here that none
OF the elements when put in the
ground are in form for the plants to
appropriate it, the soil is alive with
organisms and they must have prop
er action on everything placed in
the soil for plant food. They do
their best service under warm and
moist climate, shaded from the d.
rect rays of the sun, and where the
air can circulate freely. Here is
the necessity for frequent and shall
low cultivation and always have
some growing crop on the ground,
winter and summer.
The pure cotton seed meal free
from all hulls, by analysis shows 7.9
per cent. nitrogen, per cent. phos~
phOric acid and per cent. potash.
The Bull Dog Acid Phosphate, put
up by New Orleans Acid and Ferti-
lizer Co., shows 1855 per cent phOs-
phOric acid available. This is the
best in this country.
Now, if | wanted to raise cabbage
OF lettuce which is mostly leaf, |
want more nitrogen in the ground
than anything else, but if | We're to
raise anything on which | expect
fruit there must be a greater per
cent. of phosphOric acid In other
words, if | were fertiliZing cabbage
where peaVines or clOverS have been
previously ploWed under, make Il
mixture Of or even 3 parts meal
to one part acid phosphate If
were raising Irish potatoes on the
same ground as mentioned above, |
would make equal parts meal and
acid phOsphate-that is, when ground
has a good deal of humus already
in it by peaVines and stable manure,
it needs more acid phosphate than
anything else.
The following percentages of fer
tilizing ingredients have been found
best adapted for garden crops of
the classes mentioned, basing the
supply of these ingredients on the
plant food required by each class Of
truck produced:
