THEY WASTE FERTILIZERS.
State College Professor Says Ameri-
can Farmers Waste Millions.

State College Professor Says Ameri-
can Farmers Waste Millions.
Brookings.-American farmers vast.
ed as much available fertilizer in 1912
as the total value Of the entire wheat
crop-upwards of seven hundred mil
lion dollars. In making the foregoing
statement, Prof. j.. G. Hutton of the
state college referred to the power
of mi to enrich and restore the
crop producing qualities of the soil.
Explaining further. Prof. Hutton
says: "The amount of ~preventable
waste on the American farm is as
founding. 1t has been carefully esti-
mated that the value of the farm ma
nure which is allowed to go to waste
is seven hundred million dollars an
nually. The wheat crop for 1912 has
been estimated at 100000 0 bushels.
1t is seen from these figures that the
value of the manure going to waste
on the farms of the United States is
worth as much as the total wheat crop
of the country. OF course, it is not
easy work to haul out the manure, but
it is a paying proposition nevertheless.
Fertilizer companies would have us
believe that all of the elements OF
plant food which must be applied to
the soil should be bought in the form
of commercial fertilizers. This is a
good proposition for the fertilizer man
ufacturer, but a mighty poor one for
the farmer.
Some farmers have said, Yes, we
have a lot of manure lying around
here, but the land will not stand it.
Now, we may just as well get it clear
ly in our minds that unless the ma
nure can be returned to the land, or
green manure crops plowed under, it
will only be a short time until we
must go out of the farming. business.
>"Ten tons Of manure to the acre
does not make a very thick layer,
but when this is applied evenly be-
fore blowing and thoroughly disked in
to the soil, there is no doubt that it
will repay many times the cost of put
ting it on the land. On one farm in
South Dakota, it was found that ten
loads of to the acre increased
the wheat yield ten bushels to the
acre. 1t is also known that an appli-
cation of manure makes itself felt
not only the first year after its appli-
cation, but for many years thereafter
it's effects may be noticed in the in

The cost of inspection was divided
pro rata among gthe nurseries and
each one IA charged $3.50 to cover
costs.
At present the most serious of
pests found in other states nave not
made their appearance in South Da-
kota, and with special attention to the
importation of foreign stock. the state
should remain immune.
The e~ntohologist recommends a
quarantine against such states as are
suffering with plant and orchard
pests, following the plan of California
Arizona and other states.

AND HE A PROGRESSIVE.

II is surprising that Senator Wine
gar. Progressive, Of the thirty-first
district who was elected on a "let the
people rule platform, voted against
the resolution resubmitting the wom-
ans suffrage amendment to the people.
His excuse was that he is not person
ally in favor Of votes for women,
which, however was not the question
at issue before the legislature. All the
gslature had to do was to determine
whether or not the voters were to be
.Iy.u another chance to pass on the
..lrage proposition.
The vote OH the amendment last
fan was not decisive, and the people
generally were in favor Of resubmis-
sion. II is a matter for the people
only to decide and no legislator
should have voted to deprive them Of
that right-at least not a Progressive
for the Progressives are strong on let
the people rule" Senator Vinegar
used that sort of a horse to ride into
Office on, but evidently he has not
much faith in the people Of his district.
Nevertheless we believe they are quite
capable of deciding for themselves
whether or not the women shall be

THE PROBLEM OF GASOLINE.

The price Of gasoline has nearly dou-
bled in the last year. 1t has steadily
gone up at the rate of about a cent
every month. 1t bids fair to go higher
still, as the consumption in internal
combustion engines for all sorts of
purposes, but principally for automo-
biles, increases by leaps and bounds.
But tremendous consumption is not
the only factor entering into the APP
probation Of gasoline prices. There is
the falling off in the production of
crude oil, which amounted TO a quarter
of million barrels in 1912 from the
production Of 1911. Experts do not
believe that production can be greatly
increased unless new fields are discov-
cred. The California wells and those
on the Gulf Of Mexico have not been
able TO make up for the marked de-
cline in the output of the Eastern
wells. Even the Russian fields showed
a falling off last year of more than six
million barrels.
The stimulus of high prices will
doubtless do everything that can be
done 90 induce greater production, and
1913 may in response show an excess
over 1912. Nevertheless 1t is evident
that something more must be done
The problem, we may be sure, is now
earnestly studied by many acute
minds.
The first solution considered is that
Of adapting the gas-burning engine to
the use Of heavier fuels-to the use
of a fuel approximating kerosene IN
consistency. one authority estimates
that, while the gasoline now used is
about sixty-two degrees drop to six
ty degrees Baume, would add nearly a
third to the quantity Of gasoline that
could be used. That this is perfectly
practicable from the engine builders
standpoint is shown by the fact that
some carbureters now in use will use
gasoline as low as fifty-eight degrees
/ The kerosene burning engine is nee
essity of the near future.
! There is, Of course, the possibility
| Of substituting some other fuel. Ar
! international association of automobile
clubs has offered prize Of a hundred
thousand dollars for the best substi'
tute for gasoline. This will, il is hoped
interest the chemists. Various new
fuels have been derived from gasoline
benzoline, paraffine and alcohol which
are said TO have effected economics
varying from thirty-six to ninety pc
cent. They have yet TO be tried IL
automobiles.
If the popularity OF the AUTOMOBILE
Is to continue its marvellous growth
