Gasoline at the Poles.

The Amundsen and Scott expedi-
tions we're greatly hindered through
losing much OF their gasoline-a loss
that, in fact, had much to do with the
disaster that befell Captain Scott. Mr..
B. T. Brooks OF the Mellon Institute
Of Industrial Research thinks he
knows what caused the loss. At low
temperatures, he says, ordinary tin
tends to pulverize. At "a degrees be-
low zero It pulverizes quickly and may
pulverize, although more slowly, at a
higher temperature. Now, hard solder
usually contains large percentage OF
tin, and SO. Of course. disintegrates In
the same way. Consequently the gas.
oline cans are likely to leak at the
soldered seams. Mr.. Brooks suggests
that polar explorers carry their sup

Our EARLY Chinese Irads.

The rapid growth of our early trade
with China is shown by the fact that
the 81 vessels carrying in 1906 nearly
five and three-quarters millions worth
of goods to Canton, represented a
larger fraction of our total foreign
commerce than our trade with the
whole of China does today. The silver
imported to balance American trade

and this prosperity has caused

gotten the source of their pros

give God his proper share of

Three Reasons for Sowing Oats.

The Progressive Farmer gives
these three good reasons why all
our farmers should sow oats:
First of all, adverse seasons in
many sections have made it fair
ly certain that our corn crop will
be short, and at the same time
the European war has made it
very probable that next spring
feeds of all kinds will be high
priced. With cheap cotton and
expensive corn, the man who
has to buy feed next spring will
be in hard 81. ats indeed. 1t is,
in fact, difficult to see how such
a man can afford not to plant
literally of fall grain.
Our second reason is that fall
oats, when put in properly and
followed with leguminous hay
crop, have almost uniformly
proved profitable, while oats
sown in late winter or early
spring have seldom been found
to pay. With the new open
furrOw drills that are now to be
had, we can safely say that fall
sown oats may, without great
danger of winter killing, be
planted in all parts of the Cotton
Belt, and that yields from oats so
sown may be counted upon to
average double oats sown in
February or March. This fact
has been amply demonstrated
by many of our Southern expert.
ment stations, and is in line with
the experience e of Our most sue
Cessful oat growers.
The third reason we wish to
emphasize is this: If the present
war is long continued there will
probably be much talk and spe-
culation regarding crops to take
the place of cheap cotton. For
such a crop, bearing in mind its
cheapness OF production and
quick returns, oats, followed by
cowpeas, soy beans, or lesped-

The potash used in the COM
mercial fertilizers has been COM
ing from Germany, but the war
has cut this off and many farmers
are anxious about next years
crops. 1t is claimed that South
ern farmers use too much pot
ash and the ammount spent for
potash judiciously expended for |
anmoniates and phosphates
would yield much better results.
In talking along tl;s line re-
saRt!y. % w " Stf6k7 Satishise. e.te t.'ts ct the
New York, had the following to
say:
"As is widely known. all the
commercial potash used for fer
tlllzlng purposes is mined in
Germany and the company that
controls the sale of potash in
this country very naturally has
been anxious to increase the
consumption of potash and with
that end in view has advertised
exten sively that the average soil
needs far more potash than is
actually the case. On the other
hand, all disinterested authorities
without exception, state that
there is enough potash in the
soil of the Southern States to last
tor many years. 1t is far better
to take the advice of experts on
the subject than to follow the
directions of a company that
controls this particular article.
The farmer Of the South has
been spending millions of dollars
annually for this almost useless
material. The present Eufopean
war has made it impossible to
get potash to this country and
after the present limited supply
IN storage is exhausted there will
be no more to be had until mat
ters are settled abroad. During
the coming year the farmers will
