Some Hunter, Eh2

City Councilman Jack Livio is un- like some hunters who could be named if there was a disposition to be personal. When Jack goes into tho deep, damp, dark and dangerous forest for game he gets it. Last Saturday he returned from such an expedition, bringing back with him two as fine. fat bucka as were ever stopped by leaden pellets. He brought these homo intact, to say nothing of killing several othera which he ate while in the woods, for man does have n "pow'ful' appetite on a trip of that kind.

Potash and Phosphates.

The agricultural department OF the
University OF Illinois has published an.
other report dealing with the soils OF
this state and the fertilizers which
they need. This new investigation.
like the last. shows that Illinois farm.
ers need not worry about potash. With
the exception OF swamp lands our sofia
have all the potassium salts they need.
and the addition OF more Is a stlmu.
liant rather than a food.
What Illinois land usually does lack
is phosphorus. and the United States
has a plentiful supply OF phosphate
rock. This is good news TO farmers
who had been taught that the lack OF
German potash would cut down their
crops, II tends likewise TO stimulate
an American industry which was be-
ing hidden behind clever foreign ad.
vertising. By the time this war is
over, America will know how much
potash fertilizer II really needs, and
what the stun Is worth on the SOIL
