Improve The Soil


1t is the merchants business to
sell goods. 1t is the farmers busi-
ness to sell plant foods. 1t is the
merchants business to buy goods to
keep up his stock in trade, 1t is
the farmers business also to keep
up his stock in trade-the fertility
of his land. If the merchant eX-
poets to do larger business this
year than he did last, he must lay
in a larger stock-must buy more
goods. If the farmer wishes to DO
more business than he did last year
that is, raise larger crops this
year than he raised last, he must
increase his stock in trade He
must increase his soil fertility. In
short, all hope of better farming, Of
better living, and increased useful
ness and pleasure on the part Of
farmers as a whole must come
through increased fertility,
The source whence greater sue
cess must come is plain and GER
tain. There is no question or doubt
about it and this of itself is cause
of much encouragement. But still
more encouraging is the fact that,
since the remedy is known, its ap-
plication is easy and may be made
quickly and wonderfully effective.
The average acre in the South
produces about 200 pounds Of cot
ton or lS bushels of corn, There is
not a practical farmer of average
intelligence in this whole Southland
who does not know that one crop
Of legumes grown on such land and
plowed under or that one good ap-
plication Of stable manure will in
crease the yield on such an acre so
per cent or to 300 pounds Of lint
cotton or 27 bushels Of corn. Ev-
cry practical farmer who has tried
it also knows that two crops Of
legumes plowed into the soil Of this
acre, that produces 200 pounds of
lint cotton or Is bushels or corn,
during the next three or four years
along with deeper and better plow-
Ing will increase the yield of such
an acre to 400 pounds of lint cotton
Sharp County record., 1912-03-29

or So bushels Of corn, if the money
now spent for complete fertilizers
be all spent for phosphoric acid.
In what other business will so lit
tie expense and labor increase the
production so quickly or so easily?
No extra capital is required, merely
the growing of such crops and in
such way as to obtain two or three
crops Of leGumes during the next
four Or five years. 1t is simply fol-
ly of the most stupid sort for any
man to continue growing the aver
age crops when they may be in
creased so or even 100 per cent
with just little more intelligent
effort on his part,
Sometimes men give as an excuse
for continuing to farm unproductive
land that they have not the means
to improve it. No greater mistake
was ever made. 1t does not re-
quire increased means to improve
the fertility Of average soils. Any
man can do it and make money
while doing it,
When the only thing that stands
between man and greatly increas-
ed and cheapened production is his
own lack of intelligent effort what
more encouraging prospect is pos
sible? Southern soils are not now
productive. Our average yields
prove that, but our climatic and
other conditions make their im-
provement easier and cheaper than
in any other section This is our
glorious heritage, and what could
be more to the encouragement or
liking of any real man than an OPP
portunity to improve matters and
the certainty of successY Truly the
opportunities Of Southern agricul-
ture are marvelouSly attractive,
No other section with equal capital
or effort can accomplish half as
much. viii we live up to our
splendid opportunities? A few are
doing so, enough to prove how easy
it Is, and many more will follow
their example in the next ten years.

BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO DOG
New York Florist Closed Shop and
Cave Murdered ST. Bernard
Real Funeral.

Seldom do we find a man who has
the courage to do what Ibsen's He'd
da Gabler called "a really beautifni
thing" This is quite a prosals
world, after all, and folk look as
kance at the man who will do a deed
of sentiment in broad daylight. But
such things do happen, just once IN
a while. The other day a New York
florist closed all his shops and held
funeral for his loved st. Bernard
dog, whom a fend had poisoned.
Regular services we're held at the
masters house, and the minister who
read the service delivered a touching
culogy on dogs and on Leo in partic-
ular. The dogs body was borne to
the grave by four children who had
known Leo since he was puppy.
Around the grave the mourners sang
a hymn. Was the minister ashamed
to oGiciate at a dogs funera!' Not
a bit. "It seems to me enlincntly
proper and fitting" the minister
said; 81 knew Leo as a friend, ard
as a friend | mourn his tragic taxi
ing off, Of all earthly creatures
none is so faithful as ones dog" A
highly beautiful sentiment!-Den-

Denver, June I.-Unless the su-
preme court reconsiders its opinion
handed down some weeks ago. in
which the railroad commission law of
1907 was declared legal and the
power of the commission to regu-
late rates is sustained, the case will
be appealed to the supreme court of
the United States. This was indi-
Gated today when attorneys repre-
senting the Colorado & Southern and
Union Pacific railroads. applied for a
rehearing of the consumers league
suit to have the coal rates from north
ern Colorado reduced. The Colorado
supreme court last month reversed
the decision of Judge Whitford of
the district court. who had held that
the railroad law of 1907 is uncon-
stitutional and threw the consumers
league case out of court
If the supreme court denies the
motion for a rehearing. 1t is probable
that the railroads will permit the
rate case to be tried in the district
court on its merits, then appeal it
10 the United States supreme court
on the grounds that the law is un-
constitutional. The objections to the
law is that it exempts railroads of
less than 20 miles in length from
graduation by the commission. The
supreme court held this did not in
validate the law.

NORTHERN PACIFIC
through THE west

The Northern Pacific Railroad COM
pany is building and will have COM
pleted by July 1, about 200 miles of
new road in North Dakota and Mno-
tana.
The new lines will open up new
territory and give settlers a chance
to make homes.
The new lines comprise three
branches from the main lines of the
road. One of them is from Pingree,
N. D., to Wilton, N. D., distance of
nearly 100 miles, running through
Vashti, Woodwork, Pettitbone, Rob-
inson, Turtle, Wing. Regain and Still.
There is said to be fine opporuni-
ties for merchants, banks and other
mercantile institutions in these places.
Another line will run from Mandan
to Stanton, a distance of some fifty
three miles, running through Rock
Haven, Harmon, Price, Sanger, Hen
sier and Fort Clark.
A third new line will operate from
.Glendive, Mont, to Sidney. a distance
of over, fifty miles.
The new lines will be operated as
branches to the main lines and it is
thought that hundreds of new settlers
will 60 into the country. Service on
all three branches will begin about
July /.
