freight and he moved along with per-
ishable food products. With the ad-
justment of the situation, such APP
peals were unnecessary and fertilizer
shipments are now going forward in
plenty of time for use this fall on the
winter wheat crop.
In Germany, fertilizers are given
preference over all other kinds of
freight with the exception Of food
products and war munitions for the
soldiers at the front. 1t is because
of Germany's attitude toward the
production of large yields and to
even greater attention to the use of
fertilizers than ever, since the begin
ming of the war, that the Teutons
have been able to withstand the rig
orous blockade and demonstrate that
their country has been able to pro-
duce enough food products to make
them self-supporting. AS much fer
tilizer is used in Germany as in the
entire United States, with over
seven times as much land under culti-
walton.
Census reports issued by the De-
partment of Commerce show that the
United States in 1914 used 49.8 per
cent more fertilizers than in 1909.
Of this amount, more than half was
complete fertilizers. The increase in
the use of fertilizers to the extent Of
almost fifty per cent in five years in
dicates how American farmers are
setting about to increase their yields
and profit from the high prices being
paid for farm products.

MY dear Mr.. Parker:
81 have read your letter OF July

gressive voters are being confused
and misled as we'll as the old. In

control the choice of many OF them
in matters political. In answer to
the question contained in your letter.
i win say that. for my own part. l
have no jealousy whatever Of inde-
pendent organizations, intended to
keen the independent voters OF the
country reminded Of their opposition
and fully informed as to parties and
the conditions under which votes are
being solicited.
'sFor myself I sincerely desire and
have tried to deserve the support OF
all progressive. forward-looking men.
IL believe and / think that recent ex-
perience has confirmed that the dem
ocratic party represents a larger part
Of the progressive power and thought
OF the country than any other party
ana that It can be made the instru-
ment and is being made the instru-
ment OF leadership In the direction
