PLAYERS ARE
DEVELOPING
VERY FAST
GAME TO Be A FAST One
LOCalStO Tackle Macon Team
Saturday

Much more familiarity with football
plays and the general conduct of the
game has been developed by the local
High School eleven in their practice
games this week. Consequently it is
believed that the team is much strong
er than it has been.
Every bit of additional strength that
can be gained in the practices this
week is needed, as the High School is
to tackle their strongest opponent of
the season to date when they meet the
fast Lanier High School eleven of Ma
con next Saturday on the gridiron
here. This will be lively game from
start to finish.
Coach Reeve is putting the boys
through some hard practices this week
so that they may be prepared for the
game Saturday, which is to be a fast
one from all indications. The locals
are going in to win and the most cor
dial support of the people of the city
is asked for them in this game and the
others that will be played.

Oranges. lemons, peaches, apricats ap-
pies, olives, fresh grapes and rafstns,
and prunes. That is practically the
entire list of the big fruit products.
Now there is found in the date a
fruit which the Press believes will ri
val or excel any of the other fruits
in bulk of output and amount of cash
lreturns to the growers.
Like the prune, il is very easily pre-
pared for market, and when SO pre-
pared it will keep for months, just as
does the prune.
Like the orange, ii is a dainty that
has been considered a luxury, but un-
like the orange, it is a fruit which has
the utmost food value, and is the chief
source of sustenance of whole nations
7 of people.
Like the orange. the territory on
which the fruit can be grown advan-
itageously is limited, but there is prob
ably a million acres of date land in the
country, against quarter of a million
acres of orange land.
| Weighing the date industry as care
fully as il can be, the Press does not
hesitate to give the opinion that it is
this fruit which in time will make
land in this valley worth thousand
dollars an acre or more, rendering ii
too valuable for the industries on
which the valley at present bases its
supremacy.

EXPLANATION

In the first column is found the name
of the crop in question. In the second
the number of pounds of nitrogen re-
moved in 1000 pounds of the substance
as the crop is usually taken from the
field or sold. In the third is the num-
ber of pounds of phosphoric acid, and
in the fourth the number of pounds of
potash The fifth column gives the
value of the nitrogen as calculated
from the market price Of nitrogen in
blood, the most valuable kind, as a
rule, for the use of plants. In the
next column is given the value of the
phosphoric acid as calculated from the
cost o fthe same when contained in
ground bone. In the next to the last
column is given the value of the pot
ash removed, figured on the basis of
the cost in sulphate of potash. The
last column gives the value of all
these plant foods as removed from the
soil
the value of the nitrogen is enclosed
other two plant foods. In those in
stances the soil is no poorer in nitro
gen on account of those plants being
produced, but probably richer, owing
to their being legumes. AS the notro-
gen in milk and cream comes largely
from leguminous feeds, this is also
charged up against it. If, however,
a person wants to know how much
nitrogen he is buying in alfalfa hay
or other leguminous product, this will
give him an approximation of it.

from becoming terminus of an
ocean-to ocean highway extending
from New York and Washington, the
hundred thousand dollars Los Ange-
les is asked to contribute is relatively
a small sum.
"A good beginning has been made.
The nucleus of the fund was raised
Wednesday by a committee Of repre-
sentative business and professional
campaign. Los Angeles cannot rely
upon the state highway commission
for aid. The funds at the disposal of
that body are insufficient even for the
projects the law that created the com
mission has imposed upon it. There is
a growing sentiment for the construc-
tion of national highways at federal
cost, but the present demands upon
the national treasury are exceedingly
great. and Los Angeles cannot await
the development Of a public sentime ent
by which it could hope to profit.

Angeles the people of this city must
raise 100000. The cause is meritori

that has reared here one of the great
cities of the republic will not be found
unresponsive to this important call"

And the Trii,une

What is said of the Examiner applies
equally to the Tribune. In its news
report there is not a word to indicate
that it is proposed TO run the highway
through Imperial valley. 1t is spoken
Of as the highway TO Yuma, which
carries the inference that the old plan
still prevails Of going via Mammoth,
across the desert, in preference to the
shorter and better route through the
valley. And yet there is a mysterious
editorial that shows deep interest in
this valley, and the Press would be
pleased to have the Tribune investi-
gate the question and report whether
the plan has been so changed as to

system of partial fertilization and ra-
tional tillage should be applied with
every crop produced in California, and
some of the principles which might
well be followed
What the Crops Remove
The very starting point on this sub
ject is knowing what substances are
taken away by the crops. A second,
but less important thing, is to know
The first will be first considered, and
we might as well get to the funda-
mentals on that.
1t is almost unnecessary to say that
of the total material in the plant, only
an extremely small part was ever a
part of the soil. The wood fiber, the

curate. it should be said that the
nitrogen in a plant is all driven off
by, burning and is not found in the
impoverished by its removal, but the
nitrogen originally comes from the air
and can be replaced from it as well
as by commercial fertilizers
Every person has a fair idea of the
amount of ash to wood or fruit growth.
II might therefore be instructive to
WOOD ashes. Ordinary Wood Wood ashes m
usually are not burned as they might
be, and therefore contain moderate
burned they contain only about 4 jer
cent of potash, or heven half this
amount. and Is per cent Of phoss-
phoric acid or less; That is, 100 pounds
cents worth of potash (at 81 cents
a pound) and cents worth Of ph os-
phates lat cents a poundl. The re-
posed of lime, magnesia. silica, and
SO on.
The Commercial Plant Foods
Besides the air and water that make
the main plant tissue, plants are com
posed of quite a few other substances,
only FIVE of which are Of ,o any except
mercial plant foods. The first three
with which the California farmer is
most heaoqs are rr1gen o
air. potash and phosphoric acid. The
fourth material is lime, which is prac-
tically neglected in California. Its
considerable detail later on, but at
present it will be sufficient to say that
the plants require much more of this
potash or phosphoric acid, and that it
is very much cheaper than the others
and has very great benefits to the
is much needed in California as well
as in the East
The fifth plant food is magnesia, of
great value to the plant, but a sub
stance that. practically speaking. may
be ignored in this state, as it is found
in abundance, is quite sure to be
never lacking, and. if it would ever
be lacking, it would be in a soil that
would be worthless anyway.
To begin to figure out just how to
fertiliZe a piece of land, the first es-
Sential is n know what the AT
are being raised are taking away. An
understanding of that will help to
show what fertilizers and how much
of them to supply: This alone, though
is not enough of a guide in buyfne G
fertilizers, and if a person went by
that alone he would be quite sure to
spend some of his money foolishly
Still the information is of such value
that each grower with the good OF
his land and pocketbook at heart
should note the following record OF
the plant foods removed in the aver
age crops. A thousand pounds of each
crop is taken in this table:
