Guilty Of Burning a Church,

NEWARK. N. J., October 23-Rev.
Louis r. Patmont, indicted Jointly with
Macar Lubich for arson, in connection

Now all these things are very clear

A Prophet Without Honor

Ex-senator Turner, Of Seattle Wash
ington, scattered few phony pearls Of
wisdom recently, while on visit 10
the National Capital. He prophesied
billion-bushel wheat crop and two
dollars a bushel for wheat this year if
the war in Europe confines. IF the
war continues, said Mr.. Turner, y
believe the country will demand the
reelection Of the president; if it should
end this fall, the prosperity that is at
hand will insure democratic victory
next year beyond a doubt" Appar'
emily there is absolutely no escape.
Having honestly ascribed the present
and future prosperity'in-spots to the
war and the bumper wheat crop, he
back tracks, and adds; There is
not much doing in the lumber line,
due to the war" The ex senator
plays both ends against the middle.
Up to date every rainbow OF promise
painted for the purpose Of dispelling
the blue gloom Of the Administration
has been the work Of some impression
istic artist who supports the black eye
OF defeat. Impressionism was once
defined by celebrated painter to be
painting things as they amt. The
definition is applicable in this instance.

How to PTOfitably FeTtiIize 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 soil, particularly the black lands in
the two tiers Of counties south OF the
river and west OF the center OF the
state where fertilizers will bring little
return, unless under very intensive
systems oI farming There are also
individual farmers who through the
the dairy COW or otherwise can supply
large quantities OF barnyard manure,
where fertilizers are rarely used. On
the bulk Of the rolling limestone lands
and on the praries OF south Missouri
fertilizers properly used on wheat are
very remunerarive.
The Missouri Experiment Station
has been conducting experiments on a
series Of experiment fields in South
Missouri for a number Of years and the
results Of itheSe experiments with fertil.
izer, lime, manures, ETC., are striking.
The results secured with wheat
warrant very definite recommendations
regarding the fertilization OF this crop.
1t has been found that phosphates
bring the highest return, but that in
practically all cases potash also pays
well. On the less fertile prairies par
ticularly, as well as Tor the red and
gray limestone uplands the use Of $50
pounds Of fertilizer containing 10 10 IA
per cent available phosphoric acid and
TO 5 per cent potash will usually
give the largest net return. The
scarcity OF patash this season, on ac-
count Of the war, will make it impos.
sible to secure fertilizer containing
so much potash, so that in most cases
one containing 3 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 bone meal or $50 to us
pounds OF acid phosphate without
potash will give satisfactory net returns.
A mixed fertilizer containing 10 to "A
per cent available phosphoric acid and
1 TO 2 per cent Of nitrogen and / to
per cent potash may also be satisfactor.
lily used, particularly on the poorei
lands.
Il must always be understood in
using fertilizer on any crop that one
cannot depend on fertilizer alone. Il
must be ured in connection with cror
rotation, manuring which will maintain
the supply Of organic matter in the
soil, il the best continued results a,t
TO be secured. The bulletins dealinl
with these experiments are Nos. 11o
l29 and l30. They are free anc
sent on request.
