ton.

which cannot be settled merely along
the old party lines. The principles
that are at stake are as broad and as
deep as the foundations Of our DEM
ocracy itself They are in no sense
sectional They should appeal to all
honest citizens, East and West, North
and South. They should appeal to all
right thinking men whether Republi-
cans or Democrats without regard to
their previous party affiliations. | feel
that the time has come when not on
ly all men who believe in progressive
principles but all men who believe in
those elementary maxims Of public
and private morality which must un-
derlie every form of successful free
government should join in one move
ment. Therefore l ask you to go to

COLLEGE STUDIES ALFALFA
Effect of Fertilizers is Tried by Ex-
pertinent Station.

Pullman.-Apprised of the fact that
in recent years there has been mark
ed falling off in the production OF al
falfa in both the irrigated and upland
regions of eastern and southeastern
WASHINGTON, the experimental station
has undertaken a study of alfalfa fer
tilizers with a view to remedylng this
condition. Calculations, analysis and
deductions from the results OF the
first years investigation are now fin
ished, and it is found that of all the
alfalfa fertilizers tried out, the land
pIaster and acid phosphate fertilizers
produced the best results. The latter
doubled the production of the crop,
making it a darker green, forcing a
more luxuriant growth, and by pro-
LONGING the period of growth, retard-
ing the poisoning period.
Only the acid phosphate and the
land plaster, or gypsum" gave suf-
ficiently heavy returns to cover the
additional expenses of applying the
fertilizer. and of harvesting the in
oraased crop, as we'll as allowing a
margin of profit The others gave In
,.raases. which were comparatively
small.
