THE FRUIT YIELD TO Be Big
APPLE CROP WILL BE ENORMOUS
FROM PRESENT OUTLOOK.
Small Fruits viii Yield Abundantly-
Only Danger VIII Be From In
sects or Possible Freeze.

| Council Bluffs, April 26.-That the
fruit. production this year in south.

GUS records is the prediction OF t. j.
Nancy. horticultural and agricultural
expert of the state agricultural col
ilege at Ames. Mr. Nancy expects
soon 10 establish an Office here that he
may better look after the interests OF
this section of the state.
| The experts prediction is based on
several weeks observation OF the
orchards of this section. Practically
all of the time has been spent In tour
| ing this part of the state and visiting
the many orchards, and as result
! Mr.. Nancy is well qualified to discuss
| the situation.
/ The fruit trees are just beginning to
blossom, Mr.. Nancy reports. Barr
ing a possible frost. the only danger
to be anticipated is the various in
sects which destroy the fruit in its
1 early stages. The Ames instructor is
preaching the doctrine OF early spray
ling among all fruit growers with
whom he comes in contact.
Many of the larger orchardists real
ize the value of spraying, Mr.. Nancy
reports, and their loss from insects
will be small The smaller fruit
growers are not so well versed as TO
the value of preventive measures, and
as a result their crops may not come
lup to expectations.
Big Crop Of Apples.
Apples, the staple fruit grown in
this section, will be an enormous
lcrop, in the opinion OF the Ames ex
lpert. This prediction applies TO every
variety common in this section.
Cherry and plum trees also give
Ipromise of a rich harvest, he reports
lin the extreme southern part of the
Estate, peaches promise an exceptional
iyield, barring unforeseen condition:
which may injure the crop.
Berry bushes escaped the winter
without harm. scarcely a bush being
winter killed, according to Mr.. Nancy
This means that all kinds of berrie!
will be grown in prOfusion in thi!
|. part of the state, and will materially
add to the Orchardists' incomes
Mr. Nancy expects TO have his Office
| located here within the next tive
/ weeks. He will make his headquar
, tiers in the commercial club rooms, &C
cording to present expectations, ant
, transact what business comes to hi
, attention from there.

LOADING MANURE WAGON WITH TROLLEY
FROM BARN TO WAGON.
but when the manure must be stored |
for some time the difficulties of pres
ervation are greatly increased.
The deterioration of manure results
from two chief causes, (n fermenta-
ton, whereby nitrogen, either as am
monia or in the gaseous state, Is set
free, and (b) weatherlng or leaching
which involves loss of the soluble
fertiliZing constituents. The loss from
destructive fermentation may be large
ly prevented by the use of proper abb
sorbents and by Keeping the manure
moist and compact. Loss from leach.
ing may be prevented by storage under
cover or in water tight pits Tx.
tremes of moisture and temperature
are to be avoided, and uniform and
moderate fermentation is the object to
be sought, TO this end it is advisable
to mix the manure from the different
animals thoroughly in the heap.
| Effect OF Fresh manure.
Where Improvement of the mechan-
lcal condition of the soil is the princi-
pal OBJECT sought fresh manure is best
adapted for this purpose to heavy soils
and well rotted manure to light soils.
Where prompt action Of the fertilizing
constituents is desired the best results
will probably be obtained by applying
fresh manure to the light soils, al
though excessive applications in this
case should be avoided on account Of
the danger of burning out of the soil
In dry seasons Fresh manure has
forcing effect and is better suited to
early garden truck, grasses and forage
plants than to plants grown for seed,
such MS cereals, or to fruits. Direct
applications to root crops, such as sug.
ar beets and potatoes or to tobacco
often prove injurious. The manure
should be spread when carried to the
field and not left in heaps to leach.
The rate of application must be de-
termined by individual circumstances.
AS RUE il Is better 10 manure light
ly and frequently than to apply large
amount at longer intervals
One Of the best ways to utilize barn
yard manure is to apply 1t in connec.
ton with such fertilizing materials as
supplement its fertilizlns constituents.
These materials may be either COM
posted with the manure or used sep.
arately, except in case Of nitrate,
such as nitrate Of soda, which should
never be composted with barnyNrd ma.
nure on account Of danger of denitrih.
cation and loss Of nitrogen, AS Is well
known, barnyard manure is lasting in
, Its effects and In many cases need not
be applied so frequently as the more
soluble and quick acting superphos.
pilates and potash and nitrogen salts.

rich in potash, but deficient in phos-
phorlc acid, 1t should, rs a rule, be
used in connection with the solid dung,
the one thus supplying the deficiencies
of the other and making more evenly
balanced manure.
Barnyard manure is very variable
substance, its composition and value
depending mainly upon ~ age and
kind of animal, (2) quantity and quail
ty Of food, (3) proportion of litter and
az method Of management and age.
Ordinary barnyard manure properly
cared for may be assumed to contain
on the average one-half per cent each
Of nitrogen and potash and one-thlrd
per cent of phosphoric acid.
Mature animals, neither gaining nor
losing weight, eXcrete practically all
the fertilizing constituents consumed
in the food Growing animals may
excrete as little as 90 per cent of the
fertilizing constituents of the food,
milk cows-excrete from G5 to So per
cent and fattening or working animals
from So to 95 per cent. AS regards
the fertilizing value of equal weights
of manure in its normal condition,
farm animals probably stand in the
following order: Poultry, sheep, pigs,
horses and cows
The amounts of fertilizing constitu-
ents in the manure stand in direct re-
lation to those in the food. AS regards
the value of manure produced. the con-
centrated feeding stuffs, such as meat
scrap, cottonseed meal, linseed meal
and wheat bran, stand first; the le-
( guminous plants Glover peas, etc. Sec
ond; the grasses third; cereals (oats,
corn, etc. fourth, and root crops, such
as turnips, beets and mangel wurzels,
last.
The nitrogen of the food e2erts q
greater influence on the quality Of the
manure than any other constituent. II
is the most costly fertilizing constitu'
ent. 1t undergoes more modification
in the animal stomach than the min
eral constituents potash and phos
phoric acid and rapidly escapes from
the manure in fermentation. The Sc
erection of urine increases with the in
crease of heterogeneous substances in the
food, thus necessitating the use of lar
ger amounts of litter and affecting bott
the amount and value of the manure
The use of watery foods. MS is obvious
produces the same result,
Barnyard manure rapidly undergoes
change, When practicable to remove
the manure and spread 1t on the FIELD
at short intervals the losses Of valua
BILE constituents need not be very great

Wilson, The Man.

study the man closely. 1t is the
private habits of the Man and
his relation to the every. day u.s.
ages of life. In prominent head
lines the newspapers almost dali
ly announce that he has broken
some precedent; that he has left
the beaten path and blazed a
trail for himself. But does the
populace realize the wonderful
amount of moral courage, the
remarkable will, that this depart
ure from established customs re-
quires?
The effect for good that the
example of his private life will
have on the nation will outweigh
the effects of his public policies
in the end. Gradually, insensi-
bly,, for half a century, the ma
tional customs have been drift
ing away from righteousness and
away from democratic theories.
Insiduously, but with definite
purpose, the pomp Of royalty has
been attaching itself to the pub
lie life at our national capital.
All that has been driven out
with the advent of Woodrow
Wilson.
1t may be said that it was a
little thing to abolish the inaugu-
raj ball. But was it? From
time immemmorial the ball has
been a prominent feature Of the
Presidential inaugurations. A
social function of the American
royalty. 1T was not for the com
mon citizen. Woodrow Wilson
is a plain American citizen. He
: likewise has a conscience, anC
his training and home influences
have caused that conscience t.
condemn dancing. He had the
courage to voice his convictions
NE don't approve of the
use of intoxicants, and when
be began his residence in the
White House wines and all kin
dred drinks were firmly Danish
ed. All of his acts have shown
that Wilson, the Presinent, il
only Wilson, the Man.
y y
+ Yet, all of these things ar,
done with a simple dignity tina
proves that they are natural act
inspired by his mate sense of tn,
niceties of conscience. There il
no Rooseveltian blare Of brazel
trumpets to focus the attention
of the world toward him. The.
are the natural, unstudied act
of a man following the dictate
of a righteous conscience.
The country at large is expect
ing from the Wilson administra
ton relief from the intolerabl
burdens that now Cypress them
the President has set the wor
on foot, and if the Democrat
lawmakers carry out the pledge
of the party they will not be dis
appointed. But it is not Of tn
political influence of the Pres
dent that / wish to speak. 1t
of the great and lasting inAuenc
that the example of the man OF
cupying the highest position pos
sible in the nation will have O
the country at large that wis
to speak. In these days whe
in the life higher up"-in tn
business and social life of tn
nation is questionable, if il
deed not unpopular, to acknow
edge a belief in Christ's teacl
ings, it is encouraging when tn
Chief Executive of the most Ell
lightened nation on earth say
that he believes by practicin
these things.
Woodrow Wilson, by these Iii
tie, transformations acts, by tn
following the dictates of cor
science regardless of popula
customs, you have preached tn
most Potent sermon Of the age
If your administration should ia

NO LOSS TO NAVY
DEPARTMENT BECAUSE
OF GOLFERS INJURY

The Navy Department will suffer no
loss whatsoever through the damage TO
the collier Jason as result OF the cX-
plosion of dynamite in Baltimore IIarbor
yesterday afternoon. as the new collier IS
not yet a naval vessel. being entirely tho
property of the builders, the Maryland
Steel Company.
Upon receipt OF the news that the
Jason had been injured. Secretary of
the Navy Daniels at once sent mes
sage of sympathy TO the Maryland Steel
Company. and requested that a com
pleto account OF the accident, and the
damage suffered by the Jason be sent
TO the Navy Department as soon as pos
sble.
The damage to the Jason came on the
very day on which she was to have
sailed for Lewis. Della. TO take on there
the Board of Inspection and Survey of
Ships OF the Navy. preliminary to her
trials of the Delaware coast. Follow
ing the successful completion OF the
trials. the Jason was to have been de-
livered to the Navy Department at Nor
folk, Va. The board OF inspection had
made all arrangements to be present at
the trials early next week. upon the re-
quest of the contractors. II IS not known
exactly TO what extent the Jason was
injured. but II is certain that her trials
will now be considerably delayed.
