FINE FERTILIZER IS WASTED
Farmers Can Save Immense Amounts
of Money by Utilizing All Manure
Produced on Farms

When the farmers Of our country
thoroughly appreciate the actual
amounts Of fertilizing constituents
which are contained In farm manures,
and intelllgently care for and utilize
the manure produced on-thelr farms,
they can save millions Of dollars in
fertilizer purchases; and the necessity
of depending upon the purchase Of
these fertilizers, followed by the oc-

Obstacles VS.. Progress.

While the people Of Washington might be
expected to resent any suggestion that they are
standing in the way of necessary public improve
ments in the Capital one need be surprised
if some such charge is made in Congress before
the session ends Washington of course will not
admit the truth of such an accusation, but it
would not be an easy matter to convince Con-
gress that there is not at least some foundation
for it. 1t can hardly be denied that a consider
able number of important public construction
projects have been retarded in the past year or
two by controversies among the citizens over
the sites proposed or selected.
Leaving out of consideration the merits OF
the nationwide opposition to the site selected
for the government power plant, we still have
our own conflicts over the location of bridges,
hospitals, street car tracks and even public
schools. Every one is agreed that they are all
urgently needed, but except in the case of the new
Aqueduct Bridge every wants them located
at some point distant from his property or dwell
ing place 1t is doubtful whether single site
for public improvement has been proposed by
the District authorities in the past year without
calling forth a protest Hospitals must be To-
Gated somewhere, and some streets must be
utiiiEeu i0' the i@yihg OF new car tracks, but in
every direction these projects are encountering
resistance and unwillingness to sacrifice even the
smallest interest to the general welfare In some
instances there is evidence of short sightedness
on the part Of the objectors, who are disposed
10 regard projects promising actual benefit to q
community as impairment of its interests.
There is plain need OF broader civic spirit
that will make possible the yielding of individual
preferences for the common good, if Washington
is to progress and expand as it should. The
