acid and potash I would broadcast

! would apply II il at hand. Then
after turning the clover fer corn you
can harrow in 1000 pounds an acre
Of slaked lime, and the application Of
the fertilizer will give you more clio
yer. You will get quicker results from
the acid phosphate than from tn
Thomas phosphate. For peanuts use
500 pounds of Thomas phosphate, 81
pounds Of nitrate Of soda and 81
pounds Of muriate of potash Al acre
and you will need no more lime thai
the phosphate carries, as 1t is tn
potash that prevents pops and linn
will release any insoluable potash il
the soil. For cotton use 1900 pound
OF acid phosphate, 500 pounds Of cot
tonseed meal and 200 pounds OF muri
ate Of potash to make a ton. Use so
pounds an acre, one-half in the fur
row n one-half down the middle

Extension of Affected Territory in Stock Epi-

Washington, Nov 1e-Fourteen states
are now under federal quarantine be-
cause of the foot and mouth disease
Kentucky was added to the list today,
representatives of infection in that state
coming with news of further spread or
the epidemic in Indiana Ohio and Mich
igan.
Extension of the infected districts in
the Middle West surprised and somewhat
discouraged officials of the department
of agriculture. Nevertheless. the hope
was confidently stated that there would
be little more spreading.
Department officials said today they
had been unable to account for the pc
culiar virulency of the disease in the
present outbreak Another thing that IL
puzzIing the experts is the fact that a
larger proportion of swine have been af-
fected than in previous epidemics.
1t was explained at the department
that while Dr. Simon Alexander of the
Rockefeller Institute was expected to &C
into the infected regions to study the
disease. he would act in a private capac
fly and not in connection with the gov
eminent forces.

I'VE found that in that so-called

excessive exercise of authority by the
directors, for the results of which, in
