that the sacks were kept in
Portland.
If circumSta.- s cause con-
siderable northwest wheat to
go east this year it will be a
tragedy to use sacks costing Is
cents each or more and then
have them discarded before the
grain is shipped. 1t is needless
waste to sack grain desired by
northwest mills that prefer the
grain in bulk.
If all grain cannot be handl-
ed in bulk it should at least be
possible to avoid the use of
sacks in supplying grain to that
part of the market that objects
to sacked grain.

WHERE UNITY is NEEDED

n T is regretable there can
not be greater unity of ac-
ton on the part of grain
buying companies and the far
mers in connection with the
proposition of handling grain
in bulk. 1t is a line of work
where cooperation is neces-
sary to insure success, for farm
ers will not wish to handle their
grain in bulk unless assured of
being able to sell it without
trouble.
The grain brokers may face
shipping difficulties of which
the farmer is not fully aware
and it may be true that often
then cannot handle wheat in
bulk. Yet there are times
when they are unable to use
sacked grain and find the bulk
grain preferable. 1t is said
that most of the grain going
east this year went in bulk and

COLLEGE VS.. BUSINESS-A
BUSINESS ANSWER

ROUR years of college
"T does a lot for some
men," says a success
full business man in the March
Woman's Home Companion,
Others simply waste the years
and would be better off under
the firmer discipline of busi-
ness. Those fond parents who
are determined to force their
boys through, at whatever
cost, often do the boys a
doubtful service.
If, after a year of college, a
boy still feels a strong anti
pathy to college work and a
desire to enter business imme-
diately, it is often wise to let
him drop out and have a year
of business experience. At the
end of the year, let him have
the advice of his employers and
of other successful business
men whom he knows. 1t may
be that the year will have
convinced him of the value OF
more education; the men he
talks with may be able to show
him that three additional col
lege years will more than pay
for themselves in the rapidity
of his business progress. On
the other hand, the end of the
year may find him more eager
than ever to continue at work,
In either case he is in a far bet
ter position to know the facts
and make his decision. Any
one who reads biography must
be impressed with the general
futility of attempting to force
a young mans course contrary
to his strong predictions

AMUSING

- ONE of the anti-adminis-
- tration newspapers seem
to have no sense of the
ludicrousnesS of their own ac-
tions. An example is furnished
by the amusing right about
face of a certain New England
paper on the subject Of armed
merchantmen.
On the day that the rumor
came from Washington that
the government was about to
declare that belligerent mer-
chant ships ought not to arm
for defence, that paper furi-
ously assailed Mr.. Wilson for
making any such decision. And
on the following day, when the
announcement was made that
the government would hold
that liners could arm for de-
fence, it proceeded to bang
away at this decision, too.
1t is the creed of such sheets
that whatever Wilson does is
wrong, no matter if he is right
thousand times over. But
when they descend to lightning
change tactics as described in
this case they qualify for the
comic journalism field.

Loading Cottonseed Meal.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture0
 At the present time, when potash in the form of salts is practically unob- tainable and when both nitrogen and acid phosphate have advanced in price because of the use of nitrates and sul- phuric acid for munition purposes, cottonseed meal, which carries all three of the fertilizing elements, be- comes of great importance. In recent years immense quantities of this ma terial have gone into fertilizers, ap proximately 100000 tons having been so used in 1913
 Cottonseed meal, the residue after the oil has been extracted from cot tonseed, is dry, yellowish powder, having excellent mechanical properties for fertilizer mixtures, and contains about 6.3 per cent of nitrogen, per cent of phosphoric acid and ? per cent of potash It is, therefore, according to specialists of the United States de- partment of agriculture, primarily a nitrogenous fertilizer, but under pres ent conditions it's potash content is highly important and is decided fac tor ill determining the price at which the material is sold.
 In practice, cottonseed meal should be mixed with other ingredients. Most of the formulas heretofore published have advocated various proportions of acid phosphate and muriate of potash in combination with cottonseed meal. Muriate of potash is to all intents and purposes unobtainable this year and must be omitted from present consid- eration If LOGO pounds of cottonseed meal and 1000 pounds of acid phos- phate are mixed, however, a ton of results which contains about 1S0 pounds of phosphoric acid, 65 pounds of nitrogen and 20 pounds of
The Green Forest tribune., 1916-05-26

potash. This is about per cent phos- phoric acid, 325 per cent nitrogen ana l per cent potash and makes very satisfactory mixture for many SOILS where field crops are to be grown. For trucking and gardening present practice demands a higher content of potash, and the mixture may be SUD- plemented by the application of un- leached wood ashes if obtainable.
 Nitrogen in cottonseed meal is not so quickly available as when applied in the form of nitrate, but on the other hand is not so likely to be leached out in times of heavy rainfall. In light sandy soils, where teaching is rapid, the use of organic material such as cottonseed meal is to be preferred in supplying the necessary nitrogen. De- cay of the organic material liberates the nitrogen gradually and there is much less danger of loss than is the nitrate, are used.
 Most of the mineral ingredients in cottonseed meal are recovered in the manure if the material is used as cattle feed. The most economical use of cottonseed meal is, therefore, to feed it and apply the manure to the land. In this way the material is made to serve double purpose. European dairymen have for some years bought large quantities of American cotton seed meal for feeding purposes. As the live stock industry develops in our southern states doubtless an increas, ing amount of this material will be di verted from the fertilizer trade for use as stock feed, and at present wher ever possible the practice of feeding the meal and using the manure for fertilizer should be followed, rather than the direct application of the cot tonseed meal to the land.

REDUCE ACREAGE OF COTTON
Difficulties of Getting Staple Shipped Abroad Are Increasing-Raise
 More Food Crops.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal declares that eff the Southern farmer is even moderately wise he will reduce his cotton acreage from last year, rath- CT than increase it.. It points out that the difficulties of getting cotton abroad are steadily increasing, and adds:
 "On the other hand, the demand for good crops bids fair to increase. Corn and wheat and oats, hogs and cows and chickens bid fair to be even higher next fall than they have been before. Foreign nations can and will have these products, and we also have 100,000,000 people in this country to feed. In other words, the outlook is bullish on everything to eat. While it may not be decidedly bearish on cotton, it can easily be made so with big yield this year.
 If farmers of the South increase their cotton acreage this year at the expense of feed and food crops they will buy food this fall at record high prices and pay for it out of low priced cotton"

COTTON IS MOST ESSENTIAL
Wonderful Product Is the Basis of All High Expiosives-Makes Modern
 Warfare Terrible.

Next to air, water and food, there is probably nothing more essential to mans existence in the way civiliza tion prescribes than cotton. A bit of the irony of the gods" is found in the fact that while war has demoralized the cotton industry, yet without cotton there could be no war. Not a single modern gun could be fired, not a bat tleship sail nor an army be put in mo- tion without this wonderful product of the modest cotton plant. for its fruit is the basis of all high explosives and smokeless powder. A warship is floating cotton mill, from the suits of it's Jack Tars to the grim shells ready as fuel for the mighty guns that make modern warfare so terrible.-Rancb and Range.

MULES BETTER THAN HORSES
Less Subject to Accidents and Injury -More Inclined to Take Care of
 His Own Interests.

Mules are said by some to be hard fer than horses. Because of the mules disposition it is probably true that he is inclined to take care of his own in- terests somewhat better than the aver. age horse. He probably exerts less energy in fretting than does the horse. As to whether or not he can stand more actual work than a horse of simi. lar type, weight and condition is still question.
 Mules are said to be less subject to accidents and injury. Insignificant blemishes on mules affect their value less than the same blemish on horses. Because of the mules ability to care for himself he shows somewhat less tendency to get into trouble when in pasture or in accidents of various sorts.
