Take Something From Soil Which
Is Not Returned.

The fertility of the soil IL not like
bank account. which is tangible. in
sight can all be drawn out at one or
more times or at Will OF the pedosit-
ors, says the American Cultivator.
The soil Is an investment with many
qualifying conditions. viz; Available
plant food, physical condition and
moisture. These are In great meas
ure under the control OF the farmer.
Inasmuch as no plant has the ability
to make something out OF nothing.
each crop grown OF necessity must
take available plant food out of the
soil which never comes back in most
cases. In figuring the cost Of produc-
ton the value of the plant food taken
should be charged against the crop
Just as much as that added In way or
manure OF chemicals In our expert
ence In footing the cost of production
we have charged the loes OF plant food
against the crop grown in proportion
to the yield In the legumes we have
credited the crop with the added nitro
gen. And that is not all-tbe improved

value that cannot be measured
II we are not going TO charge the
crop with the lost fertility then we
should not credit it with the added

time to grow profitable crops. but
sooner or later our children or their
children will pay the penalty. Fertil-
ity means a valuable asset IN the

Old meadows generally are lacking
in nitrogen. which is most easily sup
piled by the application of nitrate of
soda at the rate of 800 TO 500 pounds
per acre. The only way to be sure
of the kind of fertilizer to apply is to
make trials of different mixtures and
find out which sivcs the best results
In most places the application of
barnyard manure and cutting up the
meadow with disc will be more
likely to give profitable returns than
will the application Of commercial
fertilizers.

in Sacramento The very discrimina-
ton which the Japanese resent, and
which President Wilson and Secre-
tary Bryan have cautioned the Cali
fornians against, is going to be ap-
piled, according to some of the lead
ers of the California legislature. The
interdict will be drawn up in such a
way that the ban will be placed spe-
officially on the Japanese and Chinese
This is the very thing which the ma
tional administration leaders have
urged Gov Johnson of California to
induce his people to avoid. The gov
ernor seems to favor the spirit which
appears to be dominant in the leg
islature. Apparently the peace over
lures have no influence with him.
If Secretary Bryans peace propa-
ganda strikes a snag at home, what
kind of reception does he expect for
it abroad? Concerning his earnest
ness, and that of President Wilson, in
the cause of universal harmony no
body is in any doubt BY direct adj
dress or letter Mr.. Bryan's peace talk
at the coming congress in st. Louis
will be one of the features of the oc

Japanese law is on the statute book
at Sacramento, his olive branch the

BRYAN AS A WORLD PEACE
MAKER,

Secretary Bryan's protest to ar
range arbitration treaties with the
principal nations, and to make the
promotion of world peace the largest
question with which he or the ma
tional administration will be identi-
fed, Is laudable ambition. 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. Taft had an
ambition of this sort, which fell some
what short of success. 1t is under
stood that President Wilson heartily
favors the secretary's purpose, as
does every other well-regulated
American. Mr.. Bryan intends too,
to keep in constant consultation with
the senate, to see just how much
that chamber will stand in the way
of concessions of it's power over trea-
ties, and thus to avoid Mr.. Taft's
failure.
An excellent place for Mr.. Bryan to
start his world peace work would be

John w. Boynton, Native of This
 State, Dies at His Home in Reno.

Norwich friends of John W. Boyn- ton of Reno, Nevada, who met him while he was here on Q visit three years ago, will regret to learn of his at his home in Reno.
 Of MT. Boynton's decease the Reno paper says:
 One of the oldest pioneers of Me- ton of 220 California avenue, passed away to his reward between the hours of and 4 o'clock yesterday after noon, after an illness extending over some weeks.
 About a month ago Mir Boynten paid visit to California in the hope that change in climate might ben eft him. He returned to Reno two weeks ago little benefited in health and steadily sank until death came yesterday.
 He is survived by his widow, Mrs. MyrtheI Boynton, and three children, Alice, Westiey and Cyntha BCynton.
 We'll Known Resident.
 Mir. Boynton was a native of Con- necticut and was born 76 years ago.
 Fifty five years ago he came to Ne vada and had been a resident of this state ever since. By making good use of his talents, by industry and abil- ity he accumulated a large amount of was accounted a wealthy man. He devoted almost all his attention to farming and the Boynton ranches are famous throughout the vest
 He was a member of the Reno lodge of Odd Fellows and was a past grand master of the order.
 MT. Boyntons life history shows what can be done by the exercise of industry and the practice of honesty and integrity in dealing with ones 
 By his unaided efforts he rose to position of aff1uence and commanded the respect and esteem of his fellow men.
 He lived beyond the accepted span of human life and his passing away leaves a void that will be hard to fill. Scores of lifelong, and devoted friends mourn his loss. for he was a friend in need to many.
 The funeral services were under the
