JUDGING OF THE MERIT OF A FER,
TILIZER.
T. W. Arey, Ala, writes: I am sending
. you sample of acid and cotton seed meal.
What do you think Of the sample? How
will two parts OF acid and one of meal do
On old sandy land for cotton? The acid
costs 500 90 a ton and the meal $1,000.
1t is of course impossible to judge
much about the character of the sample
of acid and cotton seed meal by the
eye. No doubt your state chemist at
Auburn, Ala would be glad TO examine
these materials for you free of cost.
At least we presume you have a law
somewhat similar to ours with reference
TO the analysis of samples Of fertilize"
for farmers. These samples appear to
be all right judging by the eye alone.
We think you will find mixture OF
900 pounds Of cotton seed meal and
900 pounds OF acid much more salts
factory for sandy land than the comhi-
nation you have suggested in your let
ter. You have paid nigh prices for the
materials in question and you should
certainly get the best there is on the
market at the figures indicated. We
think that 300 pounds of the two mate
rials mentioned above mixed in equal
proportions will answer very we'll for
the sandy land on which you desire to
plant cotton. We would use the fertil
izer under the drill row before plant
ing the crop.

The diplomatic phase is touched
upon also by Col. Bryan in the state
ment that the German government
in accepting this governments posi-
ton in the submarine controversy
gives as one of its reasons for doing
so it's unwiHingness to be responsible
for extending or spreading the war.
It refers to the fact that it has twice
expressed desire to consider terms
of peace. Failure to secure peace
would bring no humiliation, while
success would be of tremendous ad-
vantage to him politically as well as
a blessing to this country and the
world. He can at one strike destroy
all the advantage the Republican
party now has and make the race

science; to hUmanity's hOpes?"
Bryan is not the only one who
foresees a comparatively early peace.

confined to his bed, seriously i'll. and his

Headquarters Of Weld County Demo-
ccratic Central Committee.
Greeley, Colo, Oct. 26, 1916.
TO THE FRIENDS OF J. E. SNOOK:
At time when he had intended to go
over the county and visit all his friends,
Mr.. Snook our county clerk and record
er, is seriously i'll with an attack Of ty-
phoid fever and is unable to commune
cate in person with the voters of the
county. In view Of that misfortune,
the county committee desires to urge
on all his friends the necessity Of get
ting out and working for him, doing the
things which he cannot do because of
his illness.
Mr.. Shook has been one of our most
competent officials in every respect and
deseres reelection. He has been faith
full to the obligations Of his Office every
minute of the time and has worked day
and night to increase the efficiency of
the Office. He has extended its work to
apoint where thepublic is served prompt
ly, and in addition to that has managed
his Office 80 that it has turned over to
the county treasurer thousands of dol
lar each year above the expenses of his
administration.
He has been credit to the party and
to the public, and we feel that every
voter who has the best interests of the
county at heart should make an extra
effort to secure his reelection, particu-
larly because he is unable to attend to
his own campaign.
Very truly yours,
JOHN w. HUNTER,
Chairman Democratic County
Central Committee.

Quoted
Tribune Republican, Oct. Fl.
With three advances Of 10 cents each
in two days and another one expected
before nightfall, the produce houses Of
Greeley are today paying 81 per 100 for
potatoes, which is within 15 cents Of
the highest price ever paid.
Late in the spring Of 1911, there were
a few farmers who had kept their spuds
until late and who secured 81. Is per 100.
Even at the present high prices, the
farmers are not anxious to sell, and all
who have sellars are storing them in ex-
pectation Of still higher prices that all
dealers say are to come.
So scarce are spuds in the market that
foreign buyers who are here are Offer
ing bonuses of as high as $50 per car to
persons who will give them information
that will lead to their being able to pur-
chase potatoes.
Never in the history Of Greeley we're
spuds selling as high at this time Of the
year as they are at the present time,
and advances in price are almost ~ fre-
quent as receipt Of potatoes from the
farmers. AS soon - it is known that
. wagon load Of potatoes is in town the
market price advances.

that the railroads are enjoying
greater prosperity than ever In
their history. with greater gross
returns and net profits, the rail-
road representatives are Obliged
also TO admit that scandals like the
New Haven and Rock Island have

railway corporations until they are
unable TO float bonds and stock for
new construction and equipment
In this emergency and with the
fear OF the report OF the physical
valuation looming in the future,
they are clamoring for congress to
help them They want the federal
government TO underwrite their Sc
curities and they want a commits
sion which will help 20 raise freight

are quite ready to talk government
