Experiment Station Issues Bulletin
Telling How to Meet Situation-Dis-
cusses Substitutes and Makes Sug-
gestions for Soil Treatment.


The Vermont experiment station is
now mailing circular 10, entitled Con-
corning the Use of Commercial Fertil-
izers in 1916. 1t is especially timely in
view of the abnormal character of the
1916 trade, due to conditions brought
about by the war. 1t discusses the
means whereby the present situation
may best be met, substitutes for pot
ash, and the question whether potash
is needed. 1t makes special suggestions
as to soil treatment and as TO the most
advisable 1916 fertilization for grass,
clover, corn, cereals, potatoes, yegeta-
bles, small fruit and orchards. And it
indicates what sort of fertilizers will
be sold in 1916, and something as to
prices. Circular 10 will be sent with
out charge to any address on appica-
ton. A postal card addressed to Elk
pertinent Station, Burlington, Vt, stat
ing desires, is sufficient.
Following is a summary of what the
bulletin contains:
l. Commercial fertilizers and the
materials from which they are made
will cost more in 1916 than hitherto,
because:
GAY The available potash supply
is exhausted.
d. The munitions trade is using
much of the material hitherto en-
ployed in commercial fertilizer manu-
facture; more especially sulphuric acid
and nitrate of soda.
(c) The qhosphoric mines are
largely shut down.
(d) Coastwise freights are scarce
and high.
(e) The blocking of the Panama
canal temporarily has hindered nj
trate importations.
(f) Practically all forms of crude
stock have risen in price sympathetic
cally.
>. In this juncture farmers should:
(a) Till their soils to best ad-
vantage.
(b) Husband home manurial re-
sources, especially the liquid manure
(c) Apply manure more care.
fully
ca. Conserve all wood ashes
(e) Lime acid soils.
(f) Pay more than usual atten
tion to undertakings, adequate crol
rotation, etc.
5. Concerning plant food sources:
(a) heterogeneous. Nitrate of sodG
is costly, but is the most available
form of nitrogen; sulphate of ammonia

Glass Of hot water each morn

clean, sweet, fresh.

Happy, bright, alert-vigorous and

clean, healthy blood. If only every wo-
man and likewise every man could
realize the wonders of the morning in
side bath, what gratifying change
would take place.
Instead of the thousands of sickly,
misunderstanding men, women and
girls with pasty or muddy complications;
instead of the multitudes of "nerve

The Wanderer.

Upon a mountain height, far from the
sea,
/ found a shell,
And to my listening ear the lonely
thing
Ever song of ocean seemed to sing.
Ever a tale CT ocean seemed to tell.
How came the shell upon that noun
tain heights
All, who can say
Whether there dropped by some too
careless hand,
Or whether there cast when ocean
swept the land,
Ere the Eternal had ordained the
day?
Strange, was it not? Far from its ma
tive deep,
One song it sang
Sang of the awful mysteries of the
tide.
Sang of the misty sea, profound and
wide
Ever with echoes of the ocean rang.
And as the shell upon the mountain
height
Sings of the sea,
So do l ever, leagles and leagues
So do I ever, wandering where | may
Sing, 0 my home! sing o my homel
of thee.

TOO MUCH WASTE
IN ROAD BUILDING
TO OBTAIN RESULTS

The need Of State Highway de-
partment in Indiana was emphasized
by Luke w. Duffey, of Indianapolis,
who spoke at the Dublin celebration
yesterday afternoon.
IF we want extensive roads, we
must have a business system Of build
ing them. We now have s40,000,000
debt in road bonds, and our money is
being thrown away without effect" he
said.
"A bridge was recently built over
the Calumet river in Illinois. and an
other one over the same river in In
diana The bridges were almost alike.
Illinois paid $4,000 for her bridge,
Indiana paid $4,000 for hers. We
should not be SO wasteful"
I'VE have $500 road officials, and
no efficient organization. The $751;
100000 which we have appropriated
for road building we are spending in
a haphazard manner"
Indiana has wonderful road sys-
tom, however, and she will get one
twenty-fifth Of the federal funds for
roads, to be distributed within the
next five years"
