FERTILIZERS TO BE USED.

National Crop Improvement Service
The selection OF fertilizers for ap-
plication to land which is to be seeded
to hay should. in all cases, be varied
in accordance with the kind Of hay de-
sired. II hay containing a large pro-
portion OF clover is wanted. materials
which supply relatively large amounts
OF potash and phosphoric acid should
me employed. II hay, largely timothy
and relatively free from clovers is
wanted, then the proportion of materi-
ais furnishing potash and phosphoric
acid should be smaller, while the ma
terials supplying nitrogen should be
applied in relatively large proportion.
There is considerable evidence to show
that IL timothy is desired, potash in the
form OF muriste Is preferable to sui
fate, while for clovers on many soils.
and especially In wet season, the sui
fate is preferable.

Nowata, Okla, Nov. 4.-Fannie Por
ter, a negress, celebrated her 142 birth
day anniversary here recently. The
aged woman claims that she was
brought to this country from Africa by
the slave traders when mere child,
was sold to planter near Atlanta and
years afterward was sold to a planter
in Mississippi She escaped from the
planter before the civil war and in
company with other refugees came
west to the territory where she has
since resided. She has resided in No
wata for many years and although
there has been many disputes as to
her age it is generally conceded that
she is over 100 years old by many
years. In spite Of her advanced age
she is able to walk around and says
she will live for many years more.

Editor Chieftain:
picked up a piece of stray news.
paper on the lawn the other day | do
not know from what publication it was
torn nor whence it came; borne on the
wind. The words are so grand, so full
of meaning, / send them to the daily"
hoping it may cause with some. as it
has with me, a sober second thought,
or arrest" of thought and applicable
just now to the real and searching
evaneglistic spirit that is now in our
midst.
God works by human agencies to
accomplish his purposes, to convince
men of their duty to themselves and
the world Well for us if we heed.
II. r. d.
There must also be leadership. 1t
seems that no one but Napoleon could
have led the French so often to vic.
tory; that no one but Washington
could have husbanded our strength and
shown such wisdom in holding together
our struggling forces, and after repeat
ed blows, breaking forever the British
yoke; that no one but Dewey could
have won that brilliant victory at Ma.
Mia Had we no statesmen to guide
our nations destiny, We would be in
sad straits as a nation. Jefferson,
Franklin, Webster, Clay, Calhoun in
the past; Lincoln, Garfield, Cleveland
God raises up such men--men of
wisdom, who sacrifice their lives for
their nations good Leaders are just
as necessary in spiritual matters.
Men Of learning and wisdom, broad
minded, largehearted men, spiritual
generals, men of God to fight the
churches battles and guide the
ehurchs future. | believe we have such
men as our leaders. You could not
well find more consecrated, earnest |
men, or men whose lives can more
truthfully say to you In the Lord
Jehovah is everlasting strength. Fol-
low us as we follow Christ Having,
then. numbers and devotion and lead
ership, what does the Lord expect of
us? This is getting nearer to the ques-
lion. When Jesus said on that memoir
able morning of the resurrection. go
nto all the world and preach the gospel
o every creature" He must have had
aith enough in the gospel hold upon
hat little band to know that the great
work of redeeming the world would be
hen commenced and prosecuted by
hem, and He expected they would do
t. He alone could look down through
he centuries and see results. Their
work. was to be busy about their Mas
er's business and spread the gospel
S far as in their power lay Can we
ot ee the intensity of their devotion
nd the marvellous fruit of their work.
What does the Lord expect of us? AS
