sideration heretofore, remember these
suggestions have been and are being
tried out in many parts OF the world
and all report better crops and great
er yield than they get when the time
of planting and sowing is not consid-
cred. Sugar beets and potatoes are
OF the chief products of our locality,
and as the year in general is some
what unfavorable for such. much may
be done to help success in our efforts
for better crop yield by planting same
at the times herein mentioned for
this class. There may be many who
will smile with the thought that there
is nothing in this that is presented,
but / invite those to give the matter
fair and impartial trial and keep a
record of their doings and ascertain
for themselves. II any desire to ex-

as placed under class No. 4, at the

For example:
Plant potatoes at the time as men

INTEREST EATS FARM PROFITS

Oklahoma City. Okla, March 26.-
The farmers OF the United States pay

farm loans. according to the United

OF lower interest rates Is so intense
that the International Dry Farming
Congress plans to make a special In.

cuss the subject fully at its eighth
annual meeting in Tulsa, Okla, next
October.
The general opinion seems 10 be
that the trouble with the south is the

lAPLAcE's NEsULAR THEORY

MILLIONS LOST
RAISING WHEAT

1t costs 81 .041k to produce the av-
erage bushel of wheat, according to
DR.. j. II. Worst, president of the
agricultural college of North Dakota.
He says that the farmers are mining
the soil and robbing future genera
lions every time they grow wheat
crop and that they are in reality pro-
ducing the crop at a real cash loss
every year.
According to the very best auth
critics." says DR.. Worst, "one acre
producing 20 bushels OF wheat means
from the soil A pounds of pc ash,
worth cents a pound or 50 90; TWEEN
ty pounds Of phosphoric acid, worth
cents a pound or so cents, and
AZ pounds of nitrogen, worth Is cents
a pound or $50; total Of 50. 80 an
acre or 461a cents worth of soil fer
tility for every bushel of wheat raised
The United States Department of ag-
riculture says that labor and other
production cost, interest on invest
ment, cost of marketing, depreciation
ETC., amounts to SO cents per bushel
for all wheat raised in the United
States. This brings the actual cost
OF a bushel of wheat, including the
commercial value of the constituents
removed from the soil, up to
81 .04R."
Since the average price received
for wheat is much less than this sum
DR.. Worst estimates that the annual
loss to the farmers of this country
runs well into the hundreds of mil
lions on their wheat crop. The loss
in North Dakota through the fertil-
ity alone which was removed by the
wheat last year, says DR.. Worst, will
amount to $7O.OO0,O0. DR.. Worst is
vice president of the International
Dry Farming Congress. His figures

AS soon as you receive it make up
your mind what classes you want to
enter Then carefully select your
seed. Pick out an acre of your best
ground, prepare it carefully, plant
your selected seed and care for the
plot through the spring and summer
with the thought always in mind that
the crops from this plot of ground
are going to win prizes for you. Then
when harvest time comes, select
your exhibits by hand, and prepare
them carefully for show purposes.
IF you wait until harvest time to
do all of these things you are likely
to be left behind by some of the more
careful farmers who are even now
planning what prizes they will win
when they come to Tulsa this fall.
There will be approximately $685.
900 in prizes offered for the best
crops Of every sort and exhibits will
be shown from twenty states and al.
most as many nations. Don't let this
discourage you or keep you away.

POley'S Drug Store
Barnes Wild Animal Circus Coming
to Ashland Saturday, April IL.

The Al G. Barnes show TINS season
is, without fear of contradiction, the
very largest of it's kind on the road,
and while magnitude has been con-
sidered in its organization, merit has
not been departed from. The policy
ever since it's inception has been to
unite these two important factors,
but under no consideration to allow
magnitude to exist without the sub
stantial support of merit. Recently
when asked to what he attributed his
success mostly, Barnes replied:
First, to dealing honestly with my
patrons and not indulging in un-
truthful advertising. Second, to deal
ing with my patrons just as they
would have me deal with them. If
the late P. T. Barnum said that the
American people loved to be hum
bugged, and he is credited with hav-
ing said it, l do not think that he
would say it if he were living now.
A Snowman cannot any more be sue
cessful by dealing dishonesty with
his patrons than can the grocer or
the butcher. The reputation my
show has established / am proud of,
and l would not sacrifice it for any
money that could be offered me. My
policy has always been to observe the
golden rule even in the show busi-
ness and l have found it successful.
The show business of today is not
what our grandparents taught us to
believe it was, for it is business
conducted just as methodically as is
that of your soundest banking insti-
! tuition and along the very same lines
To be successful you have first got to
gain the confidence of the people and
to continue successful you have got
to retain this confidence.

The New VitaiisIn.

There seems to have been of late
years a marked reaction, even among
men of science, from the mechanis-
tic conception of life as held by a
certain band of scientists to which
| have referred. Something like a
new vitalism is making headway
both on the continent and in Great
Britain. This neovitalism has found
forceful expounded in Professor
Arthur Thompson of Aberdeen Uni
versity, who has recently written
convincingly in favor of this view in
the HILBERT Journal. Professor
Bunge, DR.. Haldane, Dr.. Driesch,
whom he quotes, urge that biological
problems defy any attempt at me-
chanical explanation. These men
stand for the ideas "of the creative
individuality of organism" and that
the main factors in organic evolution
cannot be accounted for by the forces
already operative in the inorganic
world. What standing the new vital
ism has among the scientific men of
this country | have little means of
knowing.
When we regard all the phenom-
ena of life and the spell it seems to
put upon inert matter so that it be-
haves so differently from the same
matter before it is drawn into the
life circuit, how it lifts up a world
of dead particles out of the soil
against gravity into trees and ami
mails; how it changes the face of the
earth; how it comes and goes while
matter stays; how it defios chemis-
try and physics to evoke it from the
non-living; how it's departure, or ces-
sation, lets the matter fall back to
the inorganic-when we consider
these and others like them, we seem
compelled to think of life as some
thing, some force or principle in it
self, as M. Bergson does, existing
apart from the matter it animates.
AS Sir Oliver Lodge does also. We
may class Sir Oliver among the neo-
vitalists from a remark he is re-
ported to have made recently about
the thing which by interaction with
the matter confirms on it what we
know of vitality. 1t does not appear
to be form of energy. but certainly
is guiding principle, utilizing the
forces known to chemistry and phys
les and all the ordinary laws of ma
ture for ends which appear to lie
outside the known laws of the physi-
cal world. John Burroughs in
North American Review.

AGAIN VISITS CAPITOL.
President Goes to Confer With Sem
ate Committee.

Washington, April 9.-In the in
terest of the success of the demo-
cratic tariff revision bill, President
Wilson today stepped over another
obstacle in the way of perfect har-
mony between the White House and
the directing forces of congress.
For the second successive day he
left his own office in the White
House and journeyed to the capitol,
this time for an hour and a half
conference with democratic members
of the senate finance committee.
At the conclusion the president
frankly stated to newspapermen that
he and members of the senate were
agreed that nothing stood in the way
of harmonious support of the party's
platform as to tariff revision.
The senate situation was can
vassed in detail and the dangers that
threaten should the wool and sugar
men in the senate combine were dis
cussed. No agreement was reached
that bound the senate leaders to any
definite line of action.
While the conference was in ses-
sion the full democratic membership
of the house was in caucus at the
other end of the capitol discussing
the details of the tariff bill. Under
wood, the democratic house leader,
at the conclusion of the caucus said
the tariff revision would go through
the house as single measure.
