EXPERIMENTS
IN FERTILITY
NORTH DAKOTA EXPERIMENT
STATION FINDS THAT NONE OF
THE MARKET FERTILIZERS
SHOW PROFITABLE RESPONSE"
HOW EXPERIMENTS ARE CON-
QUOTED.

The North Dakota experiment sta
ton receives many requests for advice
relative to the purchase Of fertilizers
of various kinds. The results Of the
stations work conducted in the past
show that none Of the common ferti-
lizers on the market show a profitable
response. See bulletin No. rs, North
Dakota experiment station, page BOB.
The results at some other stations
indicate that the second years effects
are often as great or greater than the
first years effects. In order to be able
to answer such inquiries definitely
extensive fertility experiments have
been inaugurated. These will give adj
ditional information relative to the
methods that must be followed to con-
serve the fertility Of the soil and thus
maintain a permanent system of agri-
culture with profit in livestock and
grain farming systems.
The general plan of study is to con-
duct a four year rotation consisting
of corn wheat, clover, oats. each one
year, in the livestock farming system
and a similar rotation consisting of
potatoes, wheat, clover n barley,
each yea in the grain farming
system. Each crop in the rotation
will be represented every year in both
system and each of the following
treatments will be made to each crop
in duplicate.
There will be four treatments in the
livestock farming system as follows:
Cd farm manure, (2) farm manure
and steam bone meal, go farm
manure, steam bone meal and ground
limestone, ca farm manure, steam
bone meal, ground limestone and
sulphate of potash. In the grain farm
ing system the four treatments are
as follows: Cd crop residues, (2) crop

Star Colors.

Professor Edward @. Pickering of
Harvard has been able to show that
Ptolemy had an excellent eye for color
values: that William Herschel had a
strong sense OF red, but was a little
weak on the blues; that the noted
astronomer Suh, Of the tenth century,
was another who had good color
vision that of various other ancient
astronomers some were weak on the
reds and some on the blues. His rs.
sertions are based on the practicnl
certainty that the color of the stars Inns
not changed in these centuries. Most

Only three of the thirty-seven put
outs credited to the Athletics were
made outside the infield and there
were innings on a stretch when the
Giants never drove the ball out of the
diamond.
Bush made his leap into the lime
light under the most favorable cir
cumstances for his hard hitting
mates tore into Tesreau with a fusi-
lade of raps in the first two innings
that netted five runs and relieved the
youngsters of the strain Of pitching
| with the margin of safety narrow or
entirely missing. This was particular
ly true of the first four Athletics on
Connie Mack's batting list. Murphy,
| Cldring, Collins and Baker, between
them, made nine of the twelve hits
recorded for the Philadelphia club and
those nine hits scored seven of the
| eight runs that made the victory so
| one-sided. In contrast to his Vigor-

grounds to keep warmed up. The vast
Lcrowd gave big Jeff Tesreau an en-
couraging cheer as he went to the
pitching box.
Eddie Murphy, the first batter UP
Of the Athletics, watched Tesreau get
his spit ball fabricated and then
watched the first strike shoot across
the plate. The Giants rooters shout
ed when Umpire Rigler's right arm
went up, indicating the strike. Tes-
reau's second offering was a ball and
the third he sent dow was driven
right at Fletcher who threw Murphy
out by an eye lash at first. The first
ball sent down to Oldring was a strike,
the next was a foul strike, the third
a ball and the fourth vas apparently
a good one, for Oldring lifted it to

two more runs at the plate. The crowd
