PUTTING LIFE INTO THE SOIL

In an address recently delivered be
fore the National Fertilizer Association.
at Hot Springs, Va. w. III. Bowkcr' OF
Boston, Mass, called attention TO tho
need of reviving land already exhaust
ed by improper cultivation and OF CON
serving the mower land which as yet
has not been used long enough to nave
its value decreased Mr.. Bowkcr was
graduated from the Massachusetts AZ
ricultural College in SCI, and has since
given his time to the study or prop
lens arising out of proper soil fertiii-
cation. He said that New England pro-
duces farm products to the value Of
SAC 600 900 more than before her aban-
doned farms took S79,499 acres out OF
cultivation. as result of enlightened
methods OF cultivation. According TO
the census Massachusetts produces In
crops in round figures SAL an acre, as
against SIT an acre in Illinois. or al
most two and onc-half times AZ much,
n fact which Mr.. I'owkcr attributes to
the more general and intelligent use or
fertilizers
Those scientists and practical agri-
cultural experts who have experimental
in the use of fertilizers until they are
convinced that they are real beneht to
the land. have. however, experienced
considerable difficulty in inducing the
farmers TO use them. This is bclleVeu
to be cue TO an old fallacious heller

LIANT and rot a food. And this impress
sion is thought to have originated dur
ing the period when fertilizer quacks
were imposing on the creduntE Oh
farmers by selling them strange NIX
lures with igh-sounding names. IN
many cases these fertilizers were real
ly harmful after few Applications.
But this time has long since passed.
The advocates OF the use or tertill"crs
admit that in many cases IL ~ uhw
to apply artificial plant food to land
There is no hard and fast rule. Some
land needs one kind of fertilizer, some
another. and to fcrtilize land which
does not need 1t is n waste of money.
Mr.. Bowker urges all States to adopt
n plan of inspection, such as several
States in the Middle West have adopt
cd. which will protect the manufacturer
and the farmer. If n plain statement of
the ingredients contained in prepared
fertilizer Is printed upon the package.
the farmer can then consult an expert
and apply to his soil the kind needed. 1t
has been established beyond question
by scientists that growing plants need
certain kinds OF food. If the soil is
wanting in some of these foods they
should be supplied. According TO Mr..
Bowker's argument, there is no more
ground for tho belief that nature sup
plies plants with food under NIL condi-
tions than there Is in the belief that
nature supplies plant with all the
! water 1t needs. Droughts are by no

means unknown. and there are famines
OF the soil which, while less evident
are no less destructive.
Land in the Middle West Is in danger
OF becoming exhausted unless steps
are taken to revive IL under expert d.
rcction. Connecticut was one OF the
first States to realize that owing to lack
OF interest in fertilizers its land was
becoming steadily poorer. Under tho
guidance Of experts the farmers were
taught the use of commercial fertiliz-
ccs. and after period of depression.
during which the value of farm prod
ucts fell to a dangerously low level, the
land was brought TO It's normal condi-
ton. To-day Connecticut uses more
commercial fertilizer than any State In
the Union with the single exception OF
Maine. Connecticut farmers find that
il pays. Other Eastern States have
gone through similar experiences. and
as result they have become less de-
pendent on the Middle West for farm
products. But they have all found that
commercial fertilizers must be applied
aGvisedly. and this is the result which
they wish TO see the farmer OF tho
Middle West profit by.

HOW HOT is THE SUN?
Ono of the Days Best Cartoons
By Garrett r. scrviss.)

How hot is the sun?t have friend
that pretcnds to scientific knowlcdge
who says the sun isn't hot, but cold.
and that all the heat is manufactured
on the earth. Is that so?-Readcr."
Nobody knows. for sure. how hot the
sun is. Its temperature at its surface
has been estimated by different authori-
ties. at different times. all tho way
from 5000 degrees to $4,000 600 de-
grees. Fahrenheit This does not mean
that the sun IL 5000 times hotter AT one
time than at another, but simply that
the figures that calculation gives as
representing its temperature vary with
the assumptions on which the calcula
ton is based The tendency now
among men of science Is to adopt the
lower rather than the higher estimates,
and II is usually said in present day
textbooks that the temperature Of tho
sun Is probably 10, 600 or 10000 degrees
That is about three times AS high as
any artificial temperature that We can
produce.
Sir Isaac Newton calculated the SUMS
temperature at nearly 100000 degrees.
Secch! made IL 100000 BY one method
OF calculation, and only $4,000 by an
other. Ericsson. the inventor OF the
Monitor, thought Newton's method was
best. and put the hgurcs at from 1000
0op to 100000. The estimates OF Zoll
ngr, SpGcTtT ana Lane rHNRcn IRON 5'.-
900 to 100. 600, and those of Pouillct.
Deville and Nicairc from 1000 10 10000.
Professor Young thought $4,000 degrees
was about the correct figure.
The principal difficulty arises from
the fact that We do not know for GER
tain what IS the law connecting the
temperature OF tho surface OF highly
heated body with the amount OF radia-
tion that il gives off In a unit OF time,
say n second. For bodies moderately
hot, the surface temperature and the
amount OF radiation are almost direct
~ proportional, and Newton assumed
that this was true in all cases.
But II has been discovered that with
hotter bodies. the radiation increases
much faster than the temperatures. so
that the best authorities now reject
Newton's and all the other excessively
high estimates.
Az to your second question. your
friend is right only in certain sense
The sun is not cold, but extremely not.
and YOU would find 1T so If you could
touch it. But you could never get TO
1t. for at distance of quarter or Il
million miles it would shrivel you mp

not possess, temperature. On their I'M
, oostructcd way through space they are
no more heat than the electric impulses
transmitted through a telephone wire
are sound.
Jus, as those impulses may be trans
formed into sound BY setting a dia-
phraGm in motion, SO the suns rays
arc transformed into heat by setting
the molecules Of any body they fall upon
into vibration The space through
which the rays pass on their ninety
odd million mile journey to the earth
is not heated by them because Il con-
tains nothing that is capable OF being
set into molecular vibration by their
impact.
Heat !s "A state in which the in
visibly minute particles. of which all
matter is made UP, are kept in more
or less violent agitation among them
selves. This agitation produces vihra-
tiona in the acknowledging ether. and
these ether!c vibrations travelling
swiftly away in all directions from tho
| heated body constitutes what We call
radiation, or radiant energy.
Striking upon colder body the ra-
diaton reproduces in IL molecular aci-
tation similar to that which the FIRST
heated body possessed. AS this Is the
way in which the sun affects the earth
by sending radiation through the
ether capable o; producing the mole
Cular vibration, agitation, called
hcat-we see that the Hun itself must
DO hot body. although the rays which
It's heat gives rise TO are not them
selves hot.
1t Is the same with the sun. light.
The rays OF light arc not light in
themselves. For instance. TO show
what il meant. suppose you were pla ced
out in empty space. facing so that YOU
would look sidewise al the light rays
passing from the sun TO the earth You
would not see them at all. You could
only see them II you looked directly
NJ tho Gun, SO that the rays would
enter your eyes. and. striking upon
the retina, produce there the impress
sion OF light.
The rays passing by and not enter
ing your eyes would be invisible be-
cause. in open space. there is no me-
dunn like the atmosphere to scatter
the rays in all directions and thus
produce an illumination all around.
The sky AT night is full OF passing
sunbeams and starbeams vast and
inextricable web Of radiations. but they
lie beyond the limits OF the atmosph ere.
and only those are transformed into
light which, by reflection from a planet
in the case OF sunbeams, or by COM
ing straight into the eye from star.

The President has nauSht to say
OF things that chance across the way,
And silence keeps about them:
But Colonels Bill and Theodore
Are filled with views they must outpour
And simply have to shout them.
Dear Colonel Bill is all for peace
And therefore simply cannot cease
His clamor to obtain it:
While Colonel Theodore proclaims
Some new uncomplimentary names
For all who don't disdain it,
But all the while the country pays
No heed to those sweet ROUNDED avs
1t hears the colonies singing,
But let's them sing to beat the band
Which they can do in any land
And waits what fate is bringing
The President the people trust
They know the nations honor must
BE safe within his keeping;
They wait for him, and meanwhile pray
The colonies will go far away
And put the timo in singing.
