NOTES OF THE HOLSTERS

Jimmy Eschen is doing the battling
for the HOOsiers in the press box
these days instead OF in center field.
The Brooklyn boy is the best roOter
at the park and in addition to fight
ing for runs he fights the score keep
ers 10 give hits to his teammates.
Jimmy's foot is showing much i'm
provement and he expects to be back
in uniform within a few days
Say my folks won't believe me-"
said Jimmy Wednesday afternoon.
All of which is funny when explained
They think 1 am ready for the
hearse judging from some kilograms
1 have received. 1t would probably
relieve their minds if you put a note
in the paper that ] am playing again
because they believe the papers more
than they do me-"
For the benefit Of the Eschen fam
lily t can be stated that their curly
haired lad is doing very WELL not in
danger of a relapse. and is speedily
attaining the grand stand peanut
fever. He is able 10 speed about in
a split slipper and apparently suffers
no pain. In the meantime he is TAX
ing his simmer vacation. Afidavits
Will be -orthcOming Immediately.
Guess lis ought TO make the home
folks feel better. James.
Ben Koehler just can't stand TO
have Ducky Holmes peg him out.
Yesterday the German pilot swerved
from the path at second base with
Narley waiting for him and Umpire
Pierson called the Hoosier boss out.
WhoOpee' Ben was mad.
You don't know what your out
here for cried the irate koehler TO
Mr. PiersOn.
Your Slowing up, Ben tainted
Ducky Holmes from his perch behind
the plate.
During the remainder of the game
Benny was "On" the said Holmes.
Continuing with Ducky il was in
teresting 10 note that he still has the
crouch he had about 10 years ago.
But the crouch has come TO be almost
a likeable quality in Ducky and the
lack of his sarcasm would be a disap-
pointment.

INCREASING THE YIELD OF
POTATOES.
The Value Of sulphur.

The following very interesting account
n letter written to the editor of a we'll
known garden magazine by James b.
Mormon: Certain soil bacteria by their
activity transform insoluble plant foods
into soluble forms which are then dis
solved by soil moisture and are made
ready for absorption by the ~rootlets Of
plants. The more food a plant ahsorbs
the more rapidly It will grow and pro-
duce a larger Yield. Hence. there should
he applied to the soil. in addition to fer
tilizers. those substances which render
bacteria more active.
Several experimenters have discovered
that, In the presence Of sulphur in the
soil. the nitrifying and ammonifyine hac-
terra become very active and prepare
large quantities of heterogeneous food that
can easily be assimilated by plants. To
get the best results with sulphur, how
ever. 1t is important that the soil should
he well supplied with organic nitroge-
nous fertilizers. Barnyard or poultry
manure, or such leguminous plants az
clover or cowpeas. may be used for this
purpose. Under favorable conditions.
their use with sulphur may be expected
to give an increased yield of crops.
I'm 1914 I tested the value of s1lphu'
on potatoes, and the methods and results
were briefly as folows: Well-sprouted
seed potatoes Of tho Irish Cobbler W
rlety were used. The seed had been
carefully selected for growing an early
crop. the bulk of them being small whole
potatoes with a single vigorous sprout'
Each seed potato was first dipped in wa
ter and then carefully rolled in a dec
ran of ground sulphur, care being ia ken
that both seed and sprout were well COW
cred with sulphur. The process required
a little more time than the ordinary
handling of sprouted potatoes as seed,
but few We're injured by this method OF
treatment.
The seed was then planted in rows
three feet apart and about fifteen inches
apart in the rows. The potatoes Were
grown on plots about sixty by eighteen
feet. or approximately on"-fourth OF ar
acre each. There were six row wttf
IS seed potatoes in each row The yield
from the sulphured potatoes was a little
less than nine bushels. as compared witt
about six and three-quarters bushels or
the plot where the seed was not sulphur
ed. or an increased yield of about one
third. The ground sulphur used cost
five cents per pound, and about fly
pounds were utilized in the test: it also
took about on hours extra time to pre-
pare the seed for planting in the names
described. As an aid to the sulphur. i
should be mentioned that the land hao
been we'll supplied with organic ~fertiliz
ers, in the form of cowpeas and poultry
manure"
Thus, in spite of an unfavorable sea
son. Mr.. Mormon's crop gave a yielc
from the two plots of an equivalent OF
900 bushels per acre; while the gain from
the use OF sulphur was at the rate Of
1N bushels per acre.
