THE BEST METHOD OF Apply. |.
INC FERTILIZER TO POTATOES

added, namely applying all OF the ie1
tilizer broadcast before planting anu
none in the planter. The fertilizer uSeo
in this experiment was some lett over
from 1914 and contained per cent. OF NJ
troeen. s per cent. of phosphoric acid,
and ! per cent. of potash. Each method
of annlieation was tested in duplicate
plots. Each plot was about acre III
area. The yields are based upon the
weight of potatoes obtained from the
measured area. The seed used was the
Lowell strain of Green Mountains.
The average yield Of the duplicate
plots in 1915 were as follows: 15oO IDS IN
the planter gave 100 bbls. per acre; luoV
lbs. at planting and 500 at the first cultl'
walton gave 11S bbls psr acre; lo0o Ids
broadcast and 500 lbs. at the first cultiva-
ton gave 100 bbls. per acre; lboU IDS.
broadcast gave lis bbls. per acre. The
differences between these yields are not
great enough to be Of significance. ',
The average results for 1914 and 1915 are
as follows: Fifteen hundred pounds IN
the planter, 10 lbs. 1000 lbs. in the
planter and 80 lbs. at the first cultiva-
ton, 11s bbls.; 1000 lbs. broadcast and 500
lbs. at the first cultivation. 116 bbls.
So far. as the results Of these two years
go there is little to choose between the
several methods so far as yield is con-
cerned. 1t is. of course. much easier
and quicker to apply the fertilizer at the
time Of planting and these results do not
indicate any reason for departing from
this usual method.
1t is planned to repeat these expert
ments for another year or two in order
to obtain conclusive results regarding
these four methods Of application.

A Real Flesh Builder
For Thin People
WHO WOULD INCREAsE MEICIr.

WHO WOULD INCREASE WEIGHT.
Thin men and women who would like
to increase their weight with 10 or 10
pounds of healthy "stay-there" fat
should try eating a little SargoI with
their meals for a while and note results.
Here is a good test worth trying. First
weigh yourself and measure yourself.
Then take Sargol-one tablet with every
meal-for two weeks. Then weigh and
measure again. 1t isn't question of
how you look or feel or what your
friends say and think. The scales and
tape measure will tell their own story.
Many people, having followed these
simple directions, report weight in
creases of from five to eight pounds
with continued gains under further
treatment.
Sargol does not of itself make fat, hut
mixing with your food its purpose is to
help the digestive organs turn the fats
sugars and starches of what you have
nourishment for the tissues and blood
prepare II in an easily assimilated form
which the blood can readily accept A
great deal of this nourishment now
passes from thin peoples bodies as
waste. Sargol is designed to stop the
waste and make TIE fat-producing con-
tents of the very same meals you are
eating now develop pounds and pounds
of healthy flesh between your skin and
bones. Sargol Is non-injurious, pleas
ant, efficient and inexpensive. James

1t is not necessary to shampoo
quite so frequently if your hair is
properly cleansed each time by use
of a really good shampoo. The
easiest to use and quickest drying
shampoo that we can recommend to
our readers may be prepared very
cheaply by dissolving a teaspoonful
of canthrox, obtained from your
druggist, in a cup of hot water. This
rubbed into the scalp creates a thick
lather, soothing and cooling in its
action, as we'll as very beneficial to
scalp and hair. After rinsing, the
scalp is fresh and clean, while the
hair dries quickly and evenly, devel-
oping bright luster and a soft
flufiness that makes it seem very

BALTIMORE TO GET
GAS AT IS CENTS
Secondary Rate Available to
Domestic Users February I.
Must Use 1000 Feet.

BALTIMORE. ian. 11.--With the re-
duetion N the price of Gas from so cents
to IS cents per 1000 cubic feet as or
dered by the public service Commission.
the Gas and Electric Company has an
nounced a further reduction by the
establishment OF secondary rate Of
i 90 cents net per 1000 cubic feet. or less
than half OF the primary rate estab-
lished by tho public service commission
for domestic users. This secondary rate
Is available to all domestic users OF gas
in Baltimore and it's suburbs. and will
begin on February /.
Under the plan adopted by the Gas
and Electric Company. the 35-cent rate
will apply to all gas used in excess Of
the maximum amount used in any one
month Of last wear. except for those
users whose consumption amounted to
less than 1000 feet in the month OF
maximum use. For these. the minimum
amount to be used before the S5-cent
rate is reached will be 1900 feet a
month.
Must Use Maximum Amount.
Briefly. the plan works out in this
way: The householder who used less
than 1000 feet in his highest month Of
1915 will paw IS cents. the rate estab-
lished by the public service commission
for the first 1000 feet of gas he uses
For all gas used in excess Of 1000 feet
he will pay at the rate of 50 cents per
1000 feet.
The man whose heaviest consumption
for any month of 1915 was $780, 1000
or 10000 feet. will get the benefit of the
So-cent rate when he passes the figure
that represents his maximum consump-
ton In a month. In other words. he
must use the maximum amount he used
in any month of last year before he
gets the benefit Of the secondary rate,
work on the part of officials, engineers
and accountants of the company and is
IN fulhllnlent of its publicly announced
policy to perfect plans to give to the
tage of "a gas service which, for low
cost, uniformity OF quality, pressure
and dependability, and adequacy OF
supply has never before been equaled
in any community"
No Pressure From Without.
This new move on the part of the
company has been without any pres
sure whatever from any source outside
the company. In effect, 1t says to each
of the customers Of the company: 1.-THE
public service commission has ordered
the price of gas to be fixed at 20 cents.
We accept that and make the reduction.
But We viii so further. We will make
that price apply to the amount of gas
you used last year, using your maxi
mum months consumption for the
standard. For all you use in excess OF
that amount we will give you the gas
at IS cents, or less than half the rate
established by the commission"
In making arrangements for the re-
ductton, the company was naturally
compelled to consider the mass con-
sumption of gas by the. community and
IL was found, its experts say. that the
plan adopted was the most equita BILE
that could be devised.
Officials of the gas company stated
that IL necessary the company could
double its output of gas in a short time
should the demand justify it.

MORE TROUBLE FROM U-BOATS.

been so large in the last year that
there does not appear to be any pres
ent reason for this rule, and 1t Is sus-
pected that the authorities are planning
deliberately to gather large reserve
of food materials in the islands, In an
ticipation Of an era Of higher prices IN
the future. This in turn Is considered
q sign that the British government ex-
poets the war to be long, and even may
have I'm mind the possibility OF some OF
her allies making separate peace.
All these conditions are increasing the
pressure on shipping and increasing the
difficulty OF moving American products
from our ports. A recent computation
indicated that in 1915 about 100 more
vessels entered and cleared from New
York than in the preceding year; but,
because so many of the big liners were
withdrawn, their tonnage was less than
the aggregate of 1914. On the other
hand, this smaller tonnage represented
an actually larger cargo-carrying ca
pacity, because the big liners OF the
previous year devoted so much OF their
space to passenger facilities.
The impending difficulty for Amer
lean commerce is that with the allies
demanding large proportions OF food
stuffs in all ships and with munitions
or war occupying so much space
there Is going to be little capacity for
carrying general commercial prod
ucts, especially to neutral countries,
Recently the rate on coal from this
country to Spain went up to SO per
ton; rate that under anything like
normal copditions would be utterly
prohibitlve; yet some has moved even
at this figure.
1t is now being seriously proposed
that the ten big GOLFERS that Uncle
Sam owns, with 5000 to 5000 ton.

They are admirably adapted for the
purpose, fast, and big 1t has been

that all the world is offering to the
United States iS an absolute, immed-
late necessity. The railroads are in
trouble because they cannot get cars
unloaded at the waters edge, for want
OF ships to take their goods. This
backs up the congestion to the rail-
road lines: and the whole transporta-
ton system Is on the point of a break
