cape From Germany.

A telegram was received yesterday
by John Mag from N. L. Piotrowski,
city attorney of Chicago, that he and
Mrs. Bertha Mag Piotrowski with
their daughter and Raymond Mag ar
rived safely in New York after an ex-
citing trip through Germany and a sea
voyage which furnished excitement.
Mr.. Piotrowski gave Chicago cores
pondents an interview on the situa-
ton as soon as he arrived in New
York. He declared the Car of Russia
means business" and that he Is mob
ilizing his troops in such manner to
perfect a better fighting organization
than Russia displayed in previous
wars.
Mr.. Piotrowski is of Polish decent
and takes an interest in Russia's well
fare. When the war was declared, he
and his party were travelling In Ger
many and were enrOute to western
Russia.
Mr.. Mag received a letter from his
brother-in-law. Mr.. Piotrowski. which
was mailed yesterday in Washington.
An excerpt follows:
I'VE arrived safely last Monday in
New York on the New Amsterdam of
the Holland American line, having fled
from the European war after only one
week of stay. We were in Berlin dur
ing the most thrilling excitement
when the war was declared which in
volved the whole of Europe. We left
Berlin on the third of August on the
last train carrying aliens out of Ger

we received passage almost at the last

The results Of the experiment indi-
cate that the highest yield and the
greatest profit was obtained from the
use of fertilizer containing nitrogen.
This conforms with the various expert
ments conducted by the Indiana State
Experiment Station on Southern Indi-
ana farms. 1t should be noted, how
ever, that the plot treated with $50
pounds of 11-2 fertilizer was not far
behind. and with this fertilizer applied
at the rate Of 25O pounds to the acre
the results might have been different.

ing in comparison, however, to the op-
position aroused against him in the
other counties of the district because
of his affiliations with James E. Wat
son. The fact that his nomination
was dictated by Watson will cost
Lynch hundreds of Republican votes.
This fact is freely admitted.
Yesterday c. w. Stivers, editor OF
the Liberty Herald, a staunch Repub.
lican organ, again fired another broad
side into the Lynch candidacy. 1t was
prompted by an editorial comment in
the Cambridge City Tribune, rebuking
Stivers for attacking Lynch because
of his affiliations with James E. Wat
son, asserting that Watson was "polit
ically dead"
That Watson had passed to his "po
litical reward" was vigorously denied
by Mr.. Stivers and he sets forth three
reasons why the Herald cannot sup
port the Lynch candidacy, as follows
First, because the Lynch nomination
does not reflect the sentiments Of the
Republican voters of the district.
Second, because the Republican con
vention at Cambridge City was an I'M
disputed "WatsonLynch frame-up."
Third, because the interests Of the
Republican party in the future abso
lutely require that the Watson ma
chine trust in the sixth district be

CULTURE PLOT
SHOWS EFFECT
OF fERT|L|z|NG
Experiments Conducted on
Wayne County Soil Give
Increased Yield After the
Proper Treatment.
BY A. ., COBB.

At the conclusion of the series Of
"Wheat Meetings" held in Wayne
county in the fall Of 1918, and while
working in my former capacity OF
county agricultural agent, planned a
series OF test plots to determine the
value of using fertilizer for wheat on
Wayne county soils. The plots were
SO arranged that they would show the
variation in yields resulting from the
use of different analysis, and different
amounts Of fertilizers.
The plots were located in Washing
ton. Boston and Wayne townships on
soil representative of the different
types found in the county, and plan
ned to use the results to indicate to
farmers living in the county, the best
uses of fertilizers on their own fields.
Unfortunately the county agent work
was discontinued before the results of
the tests could be fully determined,
and I was unable to obtain data cover
ing the tests in Washington and
these plots in the spring, however,
showed that the plots which had been
treated with a complete fertilizer, of a
formula containing approximately z
per cent Of nitrogen, s per cent OF
PHOSPHORUS and per cent of potash,
had made the best growth, and had
better filled grain.
Obtains Complete Data.
On the Boston township lot, conduct
ed on the farm of Joe S. Helms, 1t has
been possible to obtain complete data
on the results OF the experiment. Mr.
Helms. ably assisted by his neighbors
was able to carry on the work at har
vest and threshing time, and the re
suits were turned over to the Farm
Service Department of The Palladium
for publication, that other farmers OF
the county might benefit by the exper
1ment.
have taken the figures as turned
over to me by Mr.. Helms, and work
ed out the details as accurately as pos
sible. 1t should be understood that
the experiment was worked under act
ual farm conditions, in part of a
twenty-acre field of wheat, and the
plots were given the same preparation
as the rest of the field.
The soil was a characteristic clay
loan, underlaid with limestone The
wheat was drilled in standing corn
which had received shallow cultiva
ton during the growing season, and
was free from weeds.
The test included seven plots, eact
containing 41.S7 per cent Of an acre
which made a shock-row through the
field, and made it easier to harvest the
grain accurately.
Uses Check Plot.
Plot No. 1 was an untreated check
plot, receiving no fertilizer; No. was
treated with $50 pounds Of fertilizer
containing 10 per cent PHOSPHORUS
and per cent potash; No. 3 received
$50 pounds Of II per cent PHOSPHORUS
and 2 per cent potash; No. 4 was al
untreated check plot; No. 5 received
$50 pounds Of 1.6 per cent nitrogen,
per cent PHOSPHORUS and 2 per cen
potash No. received a per cent nj
trogen. IL per cent PHOSPHORUS and
per cent potash; No. was an un
treated check plot.
The yields for the seven plots were
fo1lnWC.

THEATRES

A crowd that completely filled the
Murray theatre last night witnessed a
creditable performance of Mother

Stock company for the rest of the
week. The popularity of Mr.. Lewis
and his company of players is increas-
ing as attested by the applause which
greeted the matine idols appearance
on the stage in the first act. The work
of the other players in supporting Mr..
Lewis helps win the approval Of the
theatre-goers.

the sugar schedule of the Underwood
tariff. After having inserted sugar
speech after sugar speech in the con-
gressional record, with a view to
harping mistakenly upon the theme in
the fall election, the Interpretations
lists have suddenly concluded to look
elsewhere for campaign thunder.
This change of front is due to the
very obvious fact that the effect of the
European war upon the sugar market
contains an excellent defense of the
action of the democrats in providing
for a gradual reduction of sugar tar
ifs until free sugar is reached.
The reductions in effect prior to the
outbreak of the war had reduced the
retail price of sugar from and cents
a pound to and cents q pound
Under the present war conditions,
housewives are paying 8, and 10
cents a pound. The price has fluctu-
ated somewhat; but the existing aver
age-with little prospect of early re
lief-is about cents a pound.
The situation amply cOTroborateS
the democratic argument that hign
sugar tariffs hugely increase the price
of sugar to the consumers Of the Unit
ed States, and constitute a heavy trib-
ute laid upon the general public for
the benefit OF very few people. The
high tariff creates an artificial condi-
ton strongly resembling that created
by the European war. The congress
and the government are powerless In
the face Of the conditions caused by
the war; but they can-and have in
the Underwood act-preVent such a
situation existing during normal
times.
