INCREASING THE YIELD OF
POTATOES.
The Value of Sulphur.

The following very interesting account
of an experiment with potatoes is from
a letter written 10 the editor OF a well
known garden magazine by James h
Mormon; Certain soil bacteria by Their
activity transform insoluble plant food.
into soluble forms which are then dis.
solved by soil moisture and are made
ready for absorption by the rootIets OF
plants. The more food plant absorbs
the more rapidly II will grow and pro.
duce larger yield. Hence, there should
be- applied to the soil, in addition to fer.
tilizers, those substances which render
bacteria more active.
Several experimenters have discovered
that. in the presence Of sulphur in the
soil. the nitrifying and smmonifying
bacteria become very active and prepare
large quantities Of heterogeneous food that
can easily be assimilated by plants. To
get the best results with sulphur. how.
ever. il Is important that the soil should
be well supplied with organic nitroge.
nous fertilizers. Barnyard or poultry
manure. or such leguminous plants as
clover or cowpeas, NAV be used for this
purpose. Under favorable conditions
their use with sulphur may be- expected
to give an increased yield Of crops.
The Experiment.
'1n 1914 I tested the value Of sulphur
on potatoes, and the methods and results
were briefly as follows; Well-sprouted
seed potatoes Of the Irish Cobbler va
riety were used. The seed had been care.
fully selected for growing an early crop.

tatoes with a single vigorous sprout
Zach seed potato was first dipped in wa
ter and then carefully rolled in a deep

that both seed and sprout were wen cov.

little more time than the ordinary

IN JUSTICE TO
THE FAITHFUL MULE

In history and poetry, in music
and in art, the horse has been a
favored beast and played a leading
part; and while | don't begrudge
him the fame that he has won.
there's been too little said about
his sisters lOng-eared son. We
praise the foaming charger and
we weave him into song, but how
about the humble beast that haulS
the grub along? He snakes the
cannon over muddy field and road
and is never known to whimper
or complain about his load. In
times of peace as well as war. the
mule is not a Shirk, when Dobbin
takes a balky spell its Jasper
does the work. In many ways
ne proves himself much wiser
than the Sleed, he never takes an
overdose of wafer or of feed, and
should he chance to run away.
when by ambition fired. he al
ways makes his dash with care
and stops before he iStired. know
there is prejudice against this
humble beast, but those who hold
him in disdain are they that know
his least. Investigate his record
with a calm, unbiased mind, and
you will find as have found that
he has been maligned. For even
men who hold him up to Scorn
and ridicule, might learn a whole
some lesson from the humble,
patient mule.-Albert Stroud.

The factory received $4,000 tons
Of beetS grown in Finney, kear-

Chase and Greenwood counties,
which produced 100000 bags of
100 pounds each of a fine quail

U. S. WILL OWN RAILWAYS
The Democracy of the People and
the AristOcracy Of the COrpO-
ratiOns Must Fight for Su-
premacy, Progressive
Congressman Says
Congressman Says

New YORK, Jan. 2j.-GOVern-
ment ownership and operation of
the railroads of the United States
are inevitable, in the opinion of
Representative Jane w. Bryan,
Progressive, of Washington, who
spoke on this topic at the Repub-
lican Club here today. Eventual
ly the democracy of the people
and the ariStocracy of the rail-
road corporations must grapple
in a fight to the finish, he said.
Benjamin f. YOakum, chairman
of the St. Louis & San Francisco
Railroad Company, said it made
little difference who owned the
railroads, because the government
could exercise the same regulat-
i've control over them as if it were
really owned by them.
Monopoly of railway transpor-
tatiOn is inevitable and necessary
Congressman Bryan said. "The
attempt to keep the railways
apart and compel them to fight
each other is absurd and waste
full. Hartman did a great ser
vice for the people in going as
far as he did toward Harrimaniz-
ing the railway systems; but a
government which costs a billion
a year feels its weakness in the
presence of an internal corpora
ton which under present systems
must be managed by a few men.
Such power naturally adds to it,
self other great interests, such as
the banking, manufacturing and
water power interests and leads
to an ariSl0cracy of wealth in
which a half dozen men become
more powerful than kings.
"The big transportation ma
chine in the United States has -
come too big to live under the
peoples corporation known as The
United States of America. Th1
100 million stockholders of Ibis
l3O billion company will inevila-
bly, conclude that the supremacy
OF The government is challenged
by this power. The inevitable re-
suit is a fight to The finish be-
tween the two institutions. Either
the democracy of The people, as
SerlinS itself through the federal
government, or the ariStOcracy OF
the railroad corporations musl
fail"

MARKET REPORT.

2j.-The whole cattle market took
a turn for the better today. Sales
were called strong to 10 higher on
all classes by statesmen, and pack
er buyers claimed their droveS
cost them 10 to 15 higher. Stock
erS and feeders were sold out
close last week, and there was a
good demand today from outside
buyers and from yard tracerS, at
strong to 10 higher prices. AS
usual, on Monday a large per cent
of the. receipts, 11,OOO head in all,
was StOckerS and feeders, which
left a light supply for the killers.
Cold weather is helping the beef
market, though packers assert
that consumers buy in small pack
ages, a condition that makes a
strong demand for butcher stuff
and light steers, and a small de-
mand for heavy steers. Some
good to choice steers brought
$S.75 here last week, heiferS up
to the same figure, but nothing
that good is here today, bulk Of
the beef steers selling at $3.50 to
S8.25, heiferS at $500 to $3.50,
cows at $3.50 to $6.75, bulls 1913
to $3.50, veal calves up to $1O.50,
Quarantine receipts are very light
ID cars today, steers at $3.50 to
$705. The depressing Influence
on beef cattle prices for the last
month or six weeks has been the
heavy runs in the quarantine sec
lion of the Chicago yards, tOgeth-
er with bad beef outlet. Stock
is getting pretty well run out of
the quarantincd counties in the
different states, and the market
will gradually have a lighter bur-
den 10 carry, and some improve
menl in prices should result.
Stockmen who are in a position
10 handle cattle, and who have
moi been influenced by The foot
and mouth scare have great faith
in the market, and buy stockerS
and feeders freely. Shipments 10
| The country. from here IaSl week
were $4,000 head, more than 80
per cent of the total receipts of
cattle during the week. Most of
the feeders sold at S7.25 to $7.65,
stock steers $3.50 to $3.50, choice
young cattle up TO $500.
Hogs sold steady to strong to-
day, receipts 10000. Order buy
erS were out early and bought
1000 or 1000 hogs at 500 to $3.50
packers coming OuI later and pay
ing $500 to S675. Light hogs are
bringing a premium and will lead
the others 10 to - cents before
the week is over. Packers have
been very beariSh recently, and
have had their own way, but
smaller hog receipts in The East,
and better orders from there at
the Western markets will restore
prices.
Sheep and lambs sold 10 to II
higher today. The market sagged
Friday, but closed % higher for
The week on lambs, and 30 higher
on sheep. Good lambs sold for
SS.25 to $40 today, and best ewes
al 1913 10 $500, two loads of
ewes from Fl. Collins bringing
The top price. Receipts here are
1900 head, and moderate supplies
are in sight for later in the week.
TwO-thirds of the Monte Vista
stuff has been marketed, and
some inroadS have been made in
the Arkansas Valley feed lois,
which carried small numbers this
season to begin with. Markets
should average high all winter.
