 |S SUCCESSOR
Head of Salt River Project for Four and Half Years Summoned to Washing ton-Part of Retrench- Iucnt Plan.

Upon the departure of C. IT. Fitch, head of the Salt River project for four and half years, W. s. Cone, for two years head of the electrical division be- comes project manager here. This was in accordance with a statement given out yesterday morning by the project manager.
 MT. Fitch leaves this evening for Washington. to take a two weeks leave of absence. after which he will go into the reclamation service again, as an engineer attached to the central office in the nations capital.
 In his statement to the press, Mr Fitch said that he had been preparing for the change for about four months It was following the reorganization of the entire service, with the elimination of several of the Washington offices, and the distribution of field work un- der Chief of Construction sydney B. Williamson at Denver that it became known there would be changes in the management of all the projects. The retiring manager said:
 "Of course l regret this change. for I had been connected with this project during one Of it's most interesting per iods and l had ardently hoped to be connected with 1t, when it attained sue cess as an "open project. I cannot say that I will remain with the reclamation service after my stay in Washington As yet. l do not know the duties to which I shall be assigned and do not know that | shall be satisfied to live there"
 Democratic Retrenchment
 After fl became generally known that Mir. Fitch had been recalled to Wash ingtOn, the matter was freely discussed IpOn the streets yesterday. The CO., sensus of opinion seemed to be that it was another instance of democratic re- trenchment- It was pointed out that the department of the interior is desir- ous of showing a saving of many thou sands of dolIGrs in salaries in the rec lamation service. and that for this pur- pose there has been sweeping cut in office forces and in officialdom II is

 TR0CEN IN THE SOIL
Experimental Station DaeterioioQist st Says Bacteria Take Nitrogen From Air For Deposit in Soil

It is we'll known fact that either without tillage will gradually increase Tn n1trates, sometimes as much as twenty-five to thirty percent. For number of years this was a matter of much discussion and was explained in various ways. However, it was final ly discovered that this was tho work or bacteria and that these bacteria take free nitrogen from the air and convert it into plant food in tho soil This process is called nitrogen fxa- tion."
 Process of Fisation.
 There Is another process of fxa ton which must be distinguished from the process just mentioned and that Is the process which takes place in the nodules on the roots of leguminous plants. Both of these processes of fix. alton are brought about by bacteria but the organisms which cause them are entirely different The bacteria which work in the nodules will not fix nitrogen in the soil while those which work in the soil will not fix nitrogen in the nodules of Iegumes.
 Bacteria as Aid
 The bacteria which fix free nitro gen In the soil are capable of doing their work quite rapidly. It has been demonstrated quite conclusively that they are able to fix considera ble amounts of nitrogen in as short a time as 10 days or two weeks when all or the controlling factors are favorable. Only part of the factors which con- trol their work have been determine cd put some Of the more important ones are known. Probably one of the more Important of these factors is the ad- dition of lime to the soil as 1t seems that lime is great help to these or sanisms in carrying on their work. They usually work in the first foot of soil or in that part which Is reached by the blow. but as previously stated they may also work in soil that has never been titled
 Value of Bacteria.
 The value of their work can hard. ly be estimated in dollars and cent, for they work almost the entire year storing up in the soil this most cost ly of plant food, while at tho same time they are practically unaided in their work and do not cost tho farmsr one cent.

HOW TO MAKE GOOD SILAGE
Various Methods That May Bs Used
 With Success in Arkansas.

Various Methods That May 1s Used
 With Success in Arkansas. Corn should be harvested for silags when in the denting or glazing stage Sorghums should be allowed to grow until the seed is perfectly ma. ture
 Harvest with a corn binder as bun- dies arc the most convenient to handle.
 Have plenty of power and labor 10 that the filling can be done rapidly, as 1t is more economical to run at full capacity.
 Mincs the Forage
 Chop the forage in lengths not to exceed onehalf to three-quarters inches in length. They pack moro closely and therefore exclude air moro effectively
 Distribute the light and heavy par ticles uniformly over the surface of the silo to insure even settling
 Keep the surface in the silo saucer. shaped with the high side next to the walls.
 Tramp the entire surface thorough. ly, but more specially around the walls.
 Use Plenty of Water.
 If the crop has been frosted or rather mature add plenty of water Do not be afraid of adding too much but avoid adding too little
 Running water into the blower of the cutter Is the best way to add wa. ter as 1t Is then evenly distributed Snap the ears out of the last two or three loads of corn to save the grain. When refilling on old silags, remove all spoiled silage before putting in new.
 Seal the silo by thoroughly tramp ing and soaking the top of the silage for several days after filing and allow ing the silo to seal itself.
 If your silo was air and water tight at the beginning you will have good silage.

State Wide Campaign.

Fire losses in West Virginia
in September amounted to $685.
GIL to property valued at $236,950, ac-
cording to the report of State Fire
Marshal John S. Koran. Insurance in
the sum of $4,000 was carried on the
risks involved.
The heaviest loss was suffered by
the Powhatan Coal & Coke Co, OF
Bluefield in the partial destruction of
a tipple. The loss was $4,000. The
second largest loss was $4,000, suffer
ed by the Adamantine Clay Products
Co., of Martinsburg, in the partial de-
struction of it's factory The fire in
each instance was reported of un-
known origin.
In making further announcement of
the statewide campaign which was
started at Huntington to bring about
general cleanup of rubbish and all
other materials about buildings which
increase the hazards, Marshal Koran
says: zone important branch of our
work has heretofore not received the
attention it merits, because of the lack
of funds necessary to undertake the
work, combined with the fact that our
force has been busy investigating sus-
picious fires and prosecuting incen-
diaries.

New York.-Lieutenant Robert Fa,
is willing to become a government
witness.
He made clean breast of all that
he knew about German propagandists
He called William J. Flynn, chief OF
the United States secret service, to
the Tombs. Before Flynn left Fay had
revealed:
The entire story of his mission
to America.
The names of the men who sent
him.
The names of tho men in Amer
lea who helped him.
The amounts Of money he re-
ceived and the names Of those who
contributed
The plans laid out for him here.
The names of the arch-oonspir-
ators.
He made these final Citations
with the proviso that he should enjoy
whatever leniency the United States
Government could extend him.
Flynn will lay before H. Snowden
Marshall. United States district attor-
ney, Fay's amplified story. Fay will
probably change his plea of not guilty
to guilty.
He talked to Flynn for more than
an hour. incidentally, he wrote out
the more important details Of his new
revelation. Walter Scholz, his cousin,
is expected to follow Fays lead.

fed in asking them for disavowals.

GRATEFUL FOR PEACE
AND FOR PROSPERITY
In His Proclamation Setting
thanksgiving Gay Governor
Names These Two Reasons

Harrisburg, Pa.-GovernoT Martin
G. Brumbaugh has issued the follow
ing Thanksgiving proclamation:
Let US reverently observe our
day of Thanksgiving, not alone be-
cause it is a custom so to do, but
because it is a privilege annually
to make public acknowledgement
Of gratitude to God for His mani
fold mercies and blessings We
are a worthy people only as we
are an humble and a devout peo-
pie. Not to see the guiding wis
dom of God in the affairs of men
is to be ignorant of the vital con-
trolling force in the uplift Of the
race.
We have had vouchsafed to us
year of health, plenty and social
advance. Our commonwealth has
been free from calamities. Our
crops have been abundant. Our
industries at the beginning OF the
year were languishing; they now
are exceedingly prosperous. The
deplorable war in Europe may be
the occasion of this prosperity. 1t
is regrettable that the misfortune
OF our neighbors should be the
means of our prosperity. The
sooner we reach sound economic
condition based upon a normal
competitive market the better it
will be for us. The present situa-
ton is one that may well cause us
to take heed. The law of love is
the only abiding law of progress.
In the spirit of solemn gratitude
that we have been kept from the
horrors of war and that we have
been blessed OF God with material
and spiritual good, let us gather
in our several places of worship
TO take our reckoning. to give
thanks for bounteous blessings
and to supplicate our Heavenly
Father for continuing guidance
and help

PEACE CONGRESS PROPOSES
ESTABLISHING COMMISSION
David Starr Jordan Lays Plan Before
President Wilson, Asking if
He viii Aid In II.

Washington.-David Starr Jordan.
head of the International Peace Con
gress, asked President Wilson if this
government would unite, if called
upon with other neutral countries.
in the establishment of a peace COM
mission to bring about the end of the
European war on a basis of ''interna-
tional justice"
The advances of DR. Jordan. chan
cellor of Leland Stanford University,
were interpreted as being definite
overtures toward peace by many Of
the neutral countries of the world.
which in turn may have been inspired
by the countries at war Wilson's
reply to DR.. Jordan was not learned

Remarkable Increase.


West Virginia has shown a remark
able one. year increase in the produc-
ton of corn, wheat, oats and potatoes
while the apple crop fell down nearly
one-half, according to a summary of
preliminary estimates of crop produc-
ton and prices, sent out by the de-
partment of agriculture, transmitted
to the Office of the weather bureau
here. The corn crop in West Virginia
is estimated this year at 27,7OO,O00
bushels over a final estimate last
year of 22,692.O0O. The price is also
seven cents cheaper, being quoted at
rs cents per bushel while last year, 80
cents was paid to producers. The
increase of over 100000 bushels is
due undoubtedly to the fine weather
enjoyed by farmers during the spring
and early summer as the crops were
more choice this year than ever be-
fore. Wheat remains at the same quo
tation of $1.0S while the estimated
crop this season is 100000 bushels
over S,540,00O last year. The fact
that price of $1.0S is again quoted
to producers this year, is due in all
probability to the advance in flour
that caused such a financial furry
last spring.

Fire Hazards Increased.

Fire hazards are increased in Char
lesion, as elsewhere, by the careless
use of oiled mops used in many house
holds on vanished and other floors.
These mops often cause spontaneous
combustion, and Fire Chief w. w.
Graham issued a warning to guard
against the careless storing of these
mops. The fire department was
called out by an alarm from box 27.
to the Gates paint store at Virginia
and Summers streets. The blaze was
OF considerable dimensions but was
quenched before much loss was sus-
tanned. This fire originated from
spontaneous combustion of the plain
est type. Sawdust, oil and clean
waste had been thrown into a barrel
after the store had been swept out
Saturday night. The blaze did not
become evident until a few minutes
before the alarm was turned in.
