a WONDERFUL NEW FERTILIZER

There Is another reason for not

Is furnished by the man who is trying
TO influence congress 20 make il posi-
bic for one man or a set Of men TO
obtain control OF these valuable de-
posts.
Joseph NJ. Flannery. known as the
radium king. the man who told the
house committee on mines and min
ing that he had friend who would
invest $4,000. 600 in institutions for
the treatment Of cancer il the govern
ment would refrain from exercising
its conservation powers over the
radium beds. has revealed the fact
that the by-products Of radium
possess wonderful qualities as a fer
tilizer.
The virtues as crop Fertilizers at
tributed TO these by-products by Mr..
Flannery are almost incredible. but
they have been proved by tests on an
experimental farm owned by the
Standard Chemical Co. Of Pittsburgh.
This material, mixed with fertilizer
largely increases the amount Of sugar
in the sugar beat, It improves the
growth and quality Of cabbage 500
per cent. corn 200 per cent. tobacco
s. per cent, beans 80 per cent and
wheat IS per cent and il can be sold
so cheaply az to put it within reach
OF the average farmer
other virtues are attributed to this
material and it may be assumed that
the additional vigor given plant life
would be communicated TO the bodies
Of people who eat the products of its
fertilization. It's cheapness would al
so give farmers relief from the hold
up practices of the fertilizer con-
Germs which have placed almost pro-
hibitive prices on their products.
In view of these things it is com
fOrting 10 know that the committee
on mines and mining Will report a bill
for government control and develop
ment OF public lands holding radium
bearing ores and that such "philan-
throphists" as Mr.. Flannery's friend
will not have an opportunity TO gobbIe
them.
