but that in practically all cases
potash also pays well. On the less
fertile prairies particularly, ms well
as for the red and gray limestone
uplands the use of $50 pounds of
fertilizer containing 10 to IA per
cent available phosphoric acid and
3 to 5 per cent potash will usually
give the largest net return. The
s'alcity of potash this season, on
account of the war, will make il i'm
possible to secure a fertilizer con-
tanning so much potash, SO that in
most cases one containing 2 per
cent will be the maxium that can be
secured. Since phosphates are most
important, and considering the high
cost of potash this season the use Of
$50 pounds of steamed bonemeal or
l50 10 IT'S pounds Of acid phosphate
without potash will give satisfac-

Now 10 Profifabiy FerfiIiIe for
Wheat In South Missouri

The man who grows wheat in
south Missouri can scarcely afford
to neglect the use Of fertilizer with
it. There are soils, particularly the
black lands in the two tiers of coun-
ties south of the river and west of
the center of the state where fertili-
GERS will bring little return, unless
under very intensive systems of
farming. There are also individual
farmers who through the dairy COW
or otherwise can supply large guam
titles of barnyard manure, where
fertilizers are rarely used On the
bulk of the rolling limestone lands
and on the prairies of south Missouri
fertilizers properly used on wheat
are very remunerative
The Missouri Agricultural expert
ment station has been conducting
experiments on series of expert
ment fields in south Missouri for a
number of years and the results Of
these experiments with fertilizer,
lime. manures, etc, are striking.
The results secured with wheat
warrant very definite recommends
tons regarding the fertilization Of
this crop. II has been found that
phosphates bring the highest returns.

INDUSTRIAL.
COMMISSION
By Peter Radford.

The recent investigation of the
United States Commission Of Indus
trial Relations brought together the
extremes of society and has given the
public an opportunity to view the rep
resentatives of distinct classes, side
by side, and to study their views In
parallel columns.
Capital and labor have always been
glaring at each other over CULTS of
misunderstanding and the Federal
Industrial Commission attempts to
bridge the chasm, it will render the
public distinct service.
The farmer has been sitting on the
fence watching capital and labor fight
for many years and incidentally furn-
ishing the sinews of war and 1t is
quite gratifying to find them talking
with, instead Of about, each other.
When honest men smile and look into
each others souls, 1t always makes
the world better and far more salts
factory to the farmer, who in the end,
bears the burden of conflict, than
resolutions, speeches or pamphlets
containing charges and counter
charges.
The love for justice makes the
whole world kin. Understanding is an
arbiter far more powerful than the
mandates OF government, for there is
no authority quite so commanding as
an honest conscience; there is no de-
cree quite so binding as that OF the
Supreme Court Of Common Sense and
no sheriff can keep the peace quite so
perfect as Understanding.
Y We suppose the time will never
come when capital and labor will not
be occasionally blinded by the light
ming flashes of avarice or frightened
by the thunder peals Of discomfort.
But Understanding is a Prince Of
Peace that ever holds out the olive
branch to men who want to do right.
Al mans income is always a sacred
thing for in 1t are the hope, ambition
and opportunity Of himself, and fam
lily, but there Is nothing In human
heart quite SO divine as Justice and
UNDERSTANDING Is its handmaiden. 4

AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL
BY T. N. Carver,


Professor of Economics. Harvard University,
Every city has its chamber OF com
nerce or its Board of Trade. The
purpose of such an organization is
% study economic and business OPP
oortunities of the city and promote
enterprises which will help to build
he city. Does any one know of a
good and sufficient reason why ev-
Try rural neighborhood ought not
rave a similar organization?
In Germany they already haye,such
organizations. They are generally
,alIed the "landwirthschaf or
agricultural council Some students
If the problem Of rural organization
ire strongly of the opinion that such
IN agricultural council is necessary
before much can be done for the bet
.ering Of rural credit or the market
ng of farm produce. There is no
object, for example, in having more
,apital in farming neighborhood
lnless the farmers know without any
guess-work just how to use that capt.
al so as to increase the production
md the profit of their farms. If all
the leading farmers of a neighbor-
aood would lay their heads together
and talk over the situstion and study
the opportunities for new investment,
they would be less likely to make
mistakes than If they work secretly,
as separate individuals.

THE PENALTY OF
CARELESSNESS
BY 9. w. Insllsh,
Fire Prevention Expert.

Every time you hear the cry Of
@,Firel" you can be almost absolutely
safe in thinking that someone has
been careless. Fires don't happen.
They are the inevitable result OF
combinations Of preventable things.
When analysed to the last equation
II win be found that carelessness Is
the root whence spring nearly all
fires.
What q penalty industry pays to
carelessnessl Fire is the great de-
Stroyer. The wealth of generation
can be wiped out In but a brief hour.
Why not fight fires before they
start? Why not SO conduct your
habits and so keep your premises
that when the IRE demon wants to
offer your savings as a sacrifice he
will pass you by, just as those of
Egypt of old were passed over when
he sign they had been told to place
over their doors, were seen?
Too often when those who are
responsible from FIRE cry out they
ire the victims of bad luck, they are
lut paying the natural penalty for
heir own carelessness.
II you want to keep down your FIRE
insurance rates, wage eternal war
are against those things that ever
breed fires.

THE BATTLE OF
THE TIRES

AGRICULTURAL ana Commercial Press servicel
II Is interesting to watch the forces
OF civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest of the Twen-
tieth Century.
The struggle is q silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con-
fict but the results are more far
reaching to present and future gem
erations than the war of Europe.
The rubber tire has been maneuver.
ing for point Of attack for several
years and has captured few unim-
portant positions in trafflc, but 1t has
now pitched decisive battle with
its iron competitor by hurting mill
lion ''5itneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean Upon the result Of the
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. If it is compelled to re-
treat its doom is sealed, but If 1t wins
the battle it will revolutionize the
transportation methods OF this nation.
II the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic its next struggle is with
the railroads OF the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
Of this earth is on, for iron is the un-
disputed master in transportation, and
Is fortified behind billions OF dollars,
and millions of men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1914, but 1t was 1869
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands of
steel II took the iron tire fifty-five
years to creep from ocean to ocean,
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys-
ses. The roadbed was already pre-
pared and therein lies the power of
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron is a stubborn metal and
It has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the NORWOOD
of defeat, and when rubber hurls Its
fun force against this monarch Of
the Mineral. Kingdom, 1t may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov-
cry. a
The rubber tire first made it's APP
pearance on the bicycle, but it proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for ineompetency.l 1t has always been
too much inclined to reyel in luxury
to be taken seriously as utility ma
chine and it's reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to watt into
dreamland, It is enchanting to note
that Sliere will be a marvellous differ
ence between a rubber and an iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout tho valleys for with
transportation at every mans door,
why city? 1t viii traverse the con-
tinent with a net work of Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boule-
ward built by Napoleon. It viii par
alyze the law making bodies of this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on?

RURAL SCHOOL TERM
SHOULD Be EXTENDED
BY p. P. cIaxton,
U. 8. Commissioners Of Education.

. .. VI -. NOIlLll5SloueE OF EuuChlluAs 40
In most States school days for
country children are fewer than for
dty children. The average length OF
school term in cities of the United
states is one hundred and eighty
i've days; in rural communities one
hundred and thirty-eight days, a diff
erence of forty-seven days. In some
States the difference Is much greater
han this average. In many counties
he average length Of the rural
chool term il less than one hun
Ired days, and in some districts it is
ess. On the other hand, in the
states of California, New York and
Connecticut, the country schools are
a session one hundred and eighty
lays In year, and In several other
states almost as long The country
chools of Rhode Island are in SEES
ion one hundred and ninety days In
year.
II all children are to have an equal
opportunity for education we must
even up the school terms of the
;ountry and give to all country chill
lren at least as many days as are
low given to city children. One
hundred and eighty-fiye days OF
chooling a year for all children will
Tot be too much. There are coun-
ries in which the schools, both for
dty and country, are in session from
wo hundred and twenty to two hun
ired and fifty days or more in the
year American children need as
much education as those of any 9TH
sr country, and this applies to the
rural az well as urban districts.
