cent potash is to be recommended.
This should be applied at the rate Of
100 to 200 pounds per acre. The
higher the grade of the fertilizer, that
is the higher the per cents OF the in
gradients present, the less the rate
of application may be.
I. should always be remembered
in using fertilizers that they will no,
maintain soil fertility, especially Nhei
applied in the amounts above sug-
gested. One cannot depend upon
fertilizers alone. The use OF iertiliz-
ers should be supplemented by grow
ing clover and cowpeas, by manur-
ing and by prac,icing good system
of crop rotation.

The Use OF Fertilizers for Wheat

The use of fertilizers for wheat in
Missouri is increasing. This is due
partly to the fact that the land is get
ting high in value as compared with
its productive capacity, partly to the
fact that the land is becoming more
worn and partly to the fact that the
use of fertilizers is becoming better
understood. On worn lands, the
application OF even small amounts of
commercial fertilizer is usually ac-
companied by good returns, This is
particularly true of prairie land, al
though the same holds true OF worn
timber land.
Wheat requires for its best growth
soil which is particularly well sup
piled with available nitrogen and
phosphorus. In Missouri most soils
have rather large quantity OF potas-
SUM and this is, therefore, not so
important to the wheat crop, except
on the most worn soils. Where land
has grown clover regularly and :s-
pecially where some manure mas been
applied or crops pastured down, the
the use Of nitrogen in the fertilizer is
not so necessary. On such lands the

LEASED A COAL MINE
Geo. II. Hubbard. Of Versailles, Gets
A2O-Year Lease on the Mills
Nine, Z Niles East.

George n. Hubbard. an abstracter
and real estate dealer of Versailles,
was in Bunceton this week looking
after business matters. MIR. Hub.
bard has leased of Mrs. A. N. Mills
the coal mine owned by her, seven
miles east OF town, for period OF
twenty years. The lease embraces a
thirty-acre tract of land. MIR. Hub
bard will be assisted in the operation
of the mine by A. N. Mills, who is
an experienced miner.
The mine ia one OF the best in the
county. the coal being of a superior
grade OF the camel variety. The de-
posit seems to be an extensive one.
showing fine vein and extending
over two acres. Mr.. Hubbard ex-
poets to install larger engine for
lifting purposes and will make other
improvements necessary to make it
possible to get the coal out in big
quantities. He now has about TO-
600 bushels on the dump ready to
ship and expects in a short time to
be able to ship out carload per day.
Mr.. Hubbard expects to inaugura,e
an auto truck service between Bunce-
and ton the mine and will also bring
over number Of wagons he has been
using in hauling tiff in Morgan coun-
ty and will use them for coal wagons.
He bears the reputation of being a
hustling business man and doubtless
will soon develop the mine into big
proposition. Every year the ques.
ton of securing supply OF good
coal at reasonable prices is becoming
more important and good coal de.
posts become more valuable. -

SURGEON BLUE AND SLIT
 SKIRTS.

Surgeon General Blue of the Public Health service wants the girls to sew up the slit skirts be- fore the weather gets cold. If they do not, he is fearful that we will have an epidemic of pneu- monia and other pulmonary troubles.
 As alternative Dr. Blue ob- serves that if the girls insist on wearing slit skirts this win ter they must prepare for it.. They ought to wear thick woolen stockings as their grandmothers did and sensible boots. Nearly all the girls who affect slit skirts wear the thinnest kind of silk stockings and extremely low slip pers. It seems to me they will catch their death of cold.'
 This alternative may contain a suggestion for the cure of the slit skirt habit. If the girls can be coaxed or compelled to wear thick wooden stockings, as their grandmOthers did, and sensible boots," not many of them would care OF dare to reveal the fact. via the slit skirt.--Ex.

"DOLLAR DIPLOMACY" AND
 FAIR PLAY.

Inc announcement lndl fftSl- dent Wilson's foreign policy is to be developed along lines of benefit to American trade has set the old line Republican press shouting that the president has adopted the "Dollar Diplomacy" idea which was so "eVerely crlll- cised by the Democrats ill the last national campaign. ''Dol- lar Diplomacy" says the Port land OregOnian. was only an- other phrase coined fo rthe pur- pose of bringing about Democrat ic triumph. Triumphant Drm- ocracy now takes up the policy it had condemned"
 These newspapers mnd other political opponents of President Wilson make the mistake, .inten- tiOnally or otherwise, of failing to recognize; the difference be- tween the presidents policy of encouraging foreign trade, through consular agencies, for the benefit of the whole people and the old "Dollar Diplomacy" system of using the diplomatic and consular agencies for the purpose of underwriting enter prises for the benefit and profit of particular groups and inter- estS.
 This difference is strikingly il- lustrated ill the changed attitude in the dealings between this country and china. When Pres ident Wilson assumed the duties of his office he found the State department practically commit ted to a seXtuple loan propusi- ton for China, this country jOin- ing in the plan proposed by bank CTS here and abroad to share in the loan. It was made plain that the Foreign powers were nl&llrS the;r recognition of the flew republic conditional on Chi mas acceptance of the very riS orous and OnerOus provisions Of Lne loan. President Wilson very prul.!ptly broke away from lIllS plan, as IS adoption would ha>' made il .cccssary for the UuI,- ed States, through it's Departmen. of State, practically to underwrite the deal in which the banking house of J. P. Morgan X Co.,, the National City bank and others proposed to enter. That was Dollar Diplomacy" pure and simple.
 President Wilson has made it plain that there will be no diplo- matic underwriting during his administration.
 In recent instructions sent to diplomatic representatives it was made plain that the United States would not stand sponsor before other governments for American enterprises, and that it would not support some individuals to the detriment of others. The "Open door, in China, in South Amer ica and in every field of foreign trade is taken to mean there is no injustice. International pol itics is not to play a part in American business extensions with the approval of the admin istration. Fair play will be in- sisted on where there seems to be danger of loss being incurred by American commerce because of the cupidity or duplicity of other intereStS.--EX.
