FERNROCK, FIGINNY
AND FEMINIST WIN
August Belmont and Clifford
Cochran Share Days Spells
on Aqueduct Track.
ONLY ONE CLOSE FINISH

August belmont and clifford A. Coch-
ran divided the honors of the racing
session at Aaueduct yesterday. The
chairman OF the Jockey Club won the
Canarsie Selling Stakes. Cor two-year-
olds. with Fernrock II Mr.. Cochran
took the handicap, at a mile, with
Figinny in easy fashion and followed
with n victory by Feminist in the last
race that was accomplished without the
semblance OF an effort.
The sport differed from that OF Tues
day, as the only real thrill was the mar
row escape of Fernrock from being beaten
by the Quincy Stables Success. In other
respects It upheld the precedent set on
the previous day by continuing the rout
of the layers. Five favorites again
came home In front, and Distant Shore,
the winner of the second race, was "A

Success and James Buffers Variety Were
next in demand. and the former nearly
upset the calculations OF the sure thing
players.
After Variety had jumped TO the front
Fernrock struck his stride and in the
short run to the beginning OF the home
stretch opened a gap OF two lengths.
The Belmont youngster was sailing
along. apparently under wraps. when
about the middle of the stretch he
swerved from near the outside to the
inside rail. McCahey on Success was
quick to take advantage of the erratic
course, and when Turner got the fa-
vorite ~etraightened out he had to keep
driving all the way 10 the finish line to
win by a neck. Variety was beaten eight
lengths for the place.

The ideas of the average man about the use of
commercial fertilizer are hard to understand. If
there ever was a time when the South should
..buy fertilizers and use them intelligently
it will be for the year 1915. Never before have
we needed them more. Every acre planted in
cotton and other crops should be fortified lib
orally, and from liberal fertilization along intel
ligent lines the largest net profits are obtained.
We need to raise the cotton this year on the
smallest possible acreage and put the remainder
of the available land in food and feed crops
The South owes much of the progress it has
made during the last quarter century to the use
of commercial fertilizers, and it is indeed
strange that anyone should look upon their use
as undesirable. No system of farming ever de-
vised will permanently build up or even main
tan soil fertility without the purchase OF phos-
phorus, and in many sections phosphorus, potash
and lime should be purchased by Southern
farmers. No matter what criticisms may be
Justly made of our agricultural practices in the
past, the question for every Southern farmer to
ask himself in this time of depressed cotton
values is will the use of a dollars worth of
commercial fertilizers increase my yields suffi-
GENTLY to justify the expenditure of a dollar?
If q dollar invested in commercial fertilizers for
the crops to be grown in 1915 will produce an
increase in these crops sufficient to give a liberal
profit on the investment, no man who can pos
sibly do so should fail to use commercial fertil-
izers, for, as previously stated, the need for
producing maximum yields, or at least maximum
profits, is as great now as at any time in our
past history. We have used commercial fertil-
izers in the past because experience proved be-
You'd doubt that their use was profitable. If
this be the case. why in these times of depres-
sion should we discontinue a profitable practice?
Southern men who take their opinions from
popular clamor and prejudice and some of our
Northern friends speak Of commercial fertilizers
as if such was a reflection on the intelligence of

What the South Needs Is Not Less Commercial Fertilizers But More Intelligent Use
Them-Phosphorc Acid and Possibly Potash Must Always be purchased.

the Southern farmer, but the use of commercial
fertilizers is an evidence of good farming and
correct knowledge, far beyond that displayed
by those who decry their use.
1t is true that no man should buy commercial
nitrogen five years from now, for general field
crops, and the fact that he should buy it for the
crops of 1915 may be proof of poor farming in
the past; but no matter what the past may
show, if his crops in the year 1915 need nitro
Gen and by purchasing it he can make the
transaction profitable he should make the pur-
chase this year, and as soon as possible adopt
a system Of farming that will avoid that expense
in the future. As to the purchase of phosphoric
acid, he will probably always find that profitable.
The South has not used too much commercial
fertilizers. In fact, good farming will probably
call for a much larger use of commercial fertll-
izers than has yet been dreamed of. What is
needed is a system of farming that in time will
do away with the purchase of high priced nitro
gen, which will permit the expenditure of all
our fertilizer money for phosphoric acid and in
O sections also for potash and lime.
Yes. we have wasted some of the money paid
for fertilizers in past years, because OF a lack of
information regarding the needs of our soils and
crops; but on the whole, the South has benefited
O@Of1t
immensely by the use Of commercial fertilizers,
getting back the money spent with large profits
added.
Those who advise the use of no fertilizers in
1915 are either ignorant of past results from the
intelligent use of commercial fertilizers or they
must reach their conclusions by 0 very mys-
FERROUS system Of reasoning. We certainly need
large yields per acre in 1915; and the man who
would advise the use of no fertilizers would by
the same system of reasoning advise a man who
wished to grow a large hog to reduce the feed.
The use of commercial fertilizers has been
worth many millions of dollars to the South over
and above their cost, and the need is for the use
of more fertilizers instead Of less, although this
increased use should be along more intelligent
lines. -Tait Butler in Progressive Farmer, De-
cember 9Th, 1914.

AT DAVIS THEATRE.
On Trial,

On Trial, the melodrama which by
reason of it's unique arrangement
made one of the Impressions of the
season in New York, was produced at
the Davis theatre on Monday evening
before very large audience who made
manifest their appreciation by hearty
outbursts of applause. The original
ity of the meiodrama consists in the
relating of q murder trial interrupted
at striking Joints in the testimony in
order that the incidents connected with
the murder could be enacted. The
changes were accomplished in dark
ness and il. silence with remarkable
rap1dity. Westcott Clarke played the
Dead Man and Charles Darrah, the de-
PENDANT, charged with murder.
Florence Moore, as the daughter of the
defendant, played her part with a con-
vincing suggestion Of real childhood
and Pauline Moore took the part Of
the defendants wife whose wrongs OF
thirteen years previous were respon-
sible for the murder that dragged her
husband into court as a criminal fac
ing death penalty. The faces and
attitudes of the Judge, the attorneys
and the attendants were startlingly
realistic the whole wildly portraying
a genuine court scene.
