How to FertiIize for Wheat in
Missouri.
BY M. f. MILLER.


The Missouri Agricultural Expert
ment Station has been conducting ex-
periments on a series of fields in
both Northern and Southern Missouri,
with fertilizer, lime, manure, ETC., for
a number Of years and with striking
results.
In Southern Missouri the results on
wheat warrant very definite recon-
mendations regarding its fertilization.
Phosphates appear to bring the high
est return, although in practically all
cases potash pays we'll, also. On the
less fertile prairies and on the red and
gray limestone uplands, $50 pounds of
fertilizer, containing 10 to IA per cent.
available phosphoric acid and to 5
per cent. potash, has been recon-
mended, Since phosphates are most
important, and considering the war
cost Of potash, mixed fertilizer con-
tanning 10 per cent. available phos-
phoric acid and 1 per cent. Of nitrogen
and per cent. OF potash, may also be
satisfactorily used, particularly on
poorer lands.
For the farmer handling level
prairie or the worn areas of the roll
ing prairie of Northern Missouri, a
fertilizer high in phosphate such as
one containing2 per cent. nitrogen,
10 per cent available phosphoric acid
and enc per cent potash, applied be-
fore wheat, or the same fertilizer with
nitrogen omitted, will give good re-
suits. The scarcity of potash prevents
the profitable use of fertilizer con-
tanning more than the above per cent.
this season.
In general, phospbates pay best on
wheat on this land and the fertilizer
should contain high per cent. Of
soluble phosphates. The nitrogen and
potash do not seem to pay as well, and
if used, small quantities will answer.
The more worn the lands, the more
important is the nitrogen and the pot
ash in the fertilizer. On the better
prairie regions, phosphates alone,
particularly the soluble kind, will
usually prove more profitable.
The use of fertilizer on wheat is
steadily increasing. 1t must always
be understood that one should not de-
pend on fertilizer alone. 1t should be
used with proper systems of soil
management for maintaining organic
matter.
The results of number of years.
experience with fertilizers, on series
of soil experiment fields, have definite
ly indicated the best systems of soil
management for Missouri soils. Free
bulletins Nos. 1875, 1877 and 1913 for
northern Missouri, and free bulletins
Nos. 119, 129and 1870 for the southern
part of the State may be secured from

Station at Columbia, Mo. They cover
these experiments in detail and give
very valuable information for Mis-
souri, farmers.

Thus The Herald will carry "wet" ar

and, editorially, will support the "dry"
cause. Agitation always produces
beneficial results, but suppression of
facts may 'cause great harm. The
editor of The Herald is honest in his
espousal of the "dryn cause, and, at
the same time, he is big enough to al

From Mr.. Hilburn.

Editor Register-''Public welfare
vs. private profit "This is the ques-
tion that will be presented to the
people of Shreveport in the election
on the waterworks question next
Thursday, November 4th. The best
guarantee of health conservation in
this city is public ownership of the
water supply. Vote for it." And,
"Don't be bamboozled by the poor
mouth put up by the water company.
II it has lost money in Shreveport
why does it want an extension Of it's
franchise at lower rates than it now
offers the people? Vote to build your
own waterworks. ]"
The two above short editorials are
in to-day's Shreveport Times. They
are self-explanatory and to the stu
dent of socialism are obvious--but
why should the Times deem it neces-
sary to urge intelligent voters to cast
their ballots for public ownership Of
the city's water supply? Because the
profit takers have engaged the finest
talent the county affords Chat can be
prostituted) to misrepresent the
matter and keep the voters in dark
ness and doubt. a
Socialism means public ownership
of all things publicly used, and pri-
vate ownership Of things privately
used. And just how that would skill
incentive" "break up the home"
"destroy religion" or ''reduce every
body to dead level" is beyond my
ken. But these things and kindred
sayings have been the stock in trade
of the whilom opponents of socialism
for 10 these many years. In fact there
comes to my mind right now cir
cumstance that happened to me when
it first became known that l had be-
come socialist. An acquaintance
came in and said "Hilburn, hear you
have Joined the dividers." And many
people holding high positions, who
ought to know better if they don't,
parrot these worn out sayings with
faces as solemn as "stupidity touched
by fear" Everybody's Magazine for
November has an article entitled "set
the eagle free" that contains some
valuable information and conceals
some that is equally valuable. "The
navy department has never known
what it costs to build its own ships.
For the first time in this long history
of wasted millions, the government
will know--let us hope-whether the
work done in the navy yards is cheap
er or dearer than work done out side.
You can make your own guess as to
that.n Can it be possible that this
magazine writer is ignorant OF the
fact that such information is now on
record in speech delivered by Con-
gressman Tavenner? Aspeech show
ing conclusively that blow-hole armor

it could produce the genuine article
for in its own shops.
If Uncle Sam announced his in

want of an incentive.

This is tho most important document
which has appeared since the beginning
OF the war" the paper says, for the rca-
son that Il comes from the greatest

conflict. Eeutrals nowadays must be

the United States can do. for she has

powers OF Europe Join hands, as have
done the countries OF Scandinavia, for
the protection of their maritime interests,
their voice would be more convincing.
Experience shows that observance OF the
rights OF neutrality Is contingent upon
the possession OF material strength on
