ness. What is the use of guess
ing at the matter when Arl<an-
sas is supposed to have a man
who can make an ANALYSIS of the
soil and show people either what
brand of fertilizer to buy, or
what chemicals to apply to the
soil in order to produce the most
corn, cotton potatoes or any other
crop on the land? What is the
use of a man spending perhaps
half his life experimenting when
he can be certain and save his
time and money? All farmers
are going to have to use fertili- |
GERS sooner or later, and then it |
is a paying investment if reduced /
to a certainty. The thing to do
is to get little of the soil when |
corn is to be planted, or anv other
crop, send it to the state chemist
and tell him what crop is to be
grown on the land and let him
make an analysis, showing lust
what is needed to make the most
OF that particular crop on the
land, or if the land is better fitted

owner can be appraised of that /

while to receive it, too, for The

WHITE SALMON MAN
SLUGGED AND ROBBED

Peculiar circumstances surround the
hold up and robbery of White Salmon
man as he alighted from North Bank
train at Bingen last night. The man
was accompanied by his son. When the
train stopped at Bingen someone pre-
ceeded him from the car, the son fol-
lowing. The man had taken only few
steps in the darkness, when he was
struck on the back of the neck. An
attempt was also made to slug the boy,
who, however, escaped in the darkness.
The holdup man ran his hand into the
fallen mans pockets and relieved him
of $40.
The report of the hodup was brought
here yesterday by Thomas Hill, who
spent Tuesday night in White Salmon.
He talked with both the father and son
yesterday morning before returning
home. 'The boy told me, said MIR.
Hill "that the man who delivered the
blow carried a lantern. AS soon as the
train started he ran and swung aboard.
He alfo wore cap such as trainmen

robbery may have been committed

one making such an impersonation
