WAR MAY EFFECT
STATE FERTILIZERS
University of Missouri Professor
Thinks Potash Supply May
BE Cut Off.

The present war may effect the
farmers of Missouri by restrict
ing the supply Of fertilizer. This
belief is held by E. A. Trow-
bridge, professor Of animal hus-
bandry at the University of
Missouri.
Potash, which is the principal
food for corn crops, especially
muck lands, is produced in Ger
many" said Mr.. Trowbridge,
"and of course we can expect no
shipments from that country
soon.
Mr.. Trowbridge is superintend-
ing the control Of fertilizer for
the state, and has number Of
men working under him at CO.
lumbia who gather samples and
make tests.
1--WE find" said Mr.. Trowbridge
"that a number Of companies are
selling fertilizer that is below
the guarantee. In order to pro-
tect the farmer we are preparing
a bulletin which we hope will aid
him in his selection. Any far
mer that is interested may write
to the Agricultural Experiment
Station, University Of Missouri,
Columbia, stating in detail to
what use he has been putting
the land in question, the results
of the treatment he has used
and to what use he wishes to put
the land. He then will be advis-
ed as to treatment and exactly
the chemical foods he should
supply, while he may refer to a
bulletin, which the station will
. furnish, in order to get his data
on the correct fertilizer to USE"
The bulletin referred to by Mr.
Trowbridge contains a report of
the chemical analysis Of every
fertilizer sold in the state,

FALLAcY OF LONG STANDING
That Frost 10 Most Likely TO Occur
In the Light 81 the Moon"
10 Wrong Idea.

One Ut the most tenacious beliefs
Is that the weather 10 affected BY
the movement OF the moon. II is gen
orally considered that frost is more
likely to occur In The light OF the
moon" than at any other time. For
this reason crops which the frost is
likely to destroy are planted at such
a time as to be certain to avoid .
full moon.
The moon reflects sunlight to the
earth and produces the tides. 1t has
minor effects. such as changing the 20
sition of the earth and causing min
ute reflections of the magnetic needle:
these last, are, however, 90 small that
they have only effect upon refined In.
struments Of detection, and 1t has
been proved conciusiyely these two
have no relation to the change OF
weather. Regarding the two former
effects named. 1t Ia quite easy to un-
derstand that reflected sunlight from
the moon cannot affect the weather.
In the first place. more light ID re-
ceived from the sun In thirty min.
utes than from the moon In one year.
and, moreover, the greatest reflection
is at full moon; from q logical point
of view then 1t should be warmer in.
stead of colder ut full moon. This
should disprove any argument that
the reflected light makes 1t colder
at full moon.
