MINER.
BETTER WHEAT CROP
NEXT YEAR

Careful manuring and proper pre-
cautions against the Hessian fly
should be looked after this fall if we
are to do everything possible to avoid
another short wheat crop. Plenty of
barnyard manure, and clover, alfal-
ia, or some other legume in rotation
furnish the nitrogen that wheat needs,
most cheaply, but lime, phosphorus,
and potash must sometimes be added
in other ways.
The amount of available plant food
in your soil this fall will be one of
the chief factors in determining your
wheat yield next year. One of the
principal causes of winter killing is
poor fall condition. On the better
lands Of the State this is not such a
serious problem, but on the medium
to poorer soils it is only under ex-
ceptionally favorable conditions that
the wheat will be vigorous enough to
withstand a severe winter. This fall
condition can usually be improved by
the use of some sort of commercial
fertilizer. 1t has been found by the
Missouri Agricultural Experiment
Station that the use of commercial
fertilizers on the wheat crop is us
ually good investment, especially on
the thin worn soils of the State.
Phosphorus is the element most
generally lacking in Missouri soils,
and has given very satisfactory money
returns when supplied to the wheat
crop in some form of commercial fer
tilizer. This element of plant food
is most commonly added by the use OF
such fertilizers at steamed bonemeal,
acid phosphate, or mixed fertilizers
which carry a high percentage of
available phosphoric acid. On lands
which have a fair supply of organic
matter from 125 to $50 pounds Of
steamed bonemeal, or $50 to 200
pounds of acid phosphate will usually
give very satisfactory returns. On
poorer lands mixed fertilizers con-
tanning some nitrogen may often be
most desirable.
Potash is needed for wheat on many
soils but the war has made it SO high
in price that the increased wheat
yield will probably not pay the extra
expense.--F. L. Duley, Missouri Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station.

A WILSON CONVERT

Permit me to congratulate The
Republican upon its discussion in re-
gard to President Wilson and the ad-
ministration. Its course bIazes the
way of independence and honesty be-
fore that of subserviency and parti-
sanship," said Edward Kemble of
Beverly, Mass, in letter to the edi-
tor of the Springfield Republican.
81 write" continued Mr.. Kimble,
"as a lifelong Republican until these
very recent years-a business man,
not politician.
IF Mr.. Hughes is elected he win
have been elected by Theodore Roose-
welt, who will become, l presume,
Secretary of State; but whether he
may hold office or not, he will be the
governor of Hughes administration.
This will be lamentable. Theodore
Roosevelt has been a power for good,
but he has lost his grip"

NOW is THE TIME TO
FIGHT HESSIAN FLY

On account of the dry weather but
few adult Hessian flies have emerged
from infested wheat stubble, says T.
j. Talbert of the College of Agricul-
ture of the University of Missouri.
The pest may still be found in the old
wheat stubble in the flaxseed stage,
when it can be destroyed by blowing
and narrowing.
If the blowing is done in September,
special pains should be taken to work
the ground into compact and firm
seed bed. This will prevent the fly
from escaping and the wheat will
make much better growth during
the fall and early winter.
Don't fail to keep down the vol
unteer wheat which will soon start
on the plowed ground" advises Mr.
Talbert. "The destruction of volun-
tary wheat starves the fly. Remem-
Der that the food plants of the Hes
sian fly are wheat, rye and barley and
that none of these crops should be
sown until on or after the fy-free
date, which is, for the northern third
of Missouri, October 1 for the CEN
trail third, Oct. g.; and for the south
ern third, Oct. 16. These are the safe
sowing dates and they should be OBJ
served in order to escape injury from
the Hessian fly"
A united fight should be made
against the fly, according to Mr.. Tai
bert, because if one farmer sows his
wheat early or fails to keep down
voluntary wheat, he may let enough
flies live over winter in his early
wheat to come out in the spring and
destroy his own crop and the wheat
crops of his neighbors who may have
sown their wheat on or after the fly
free date. In the spring the fly comes
from early sown wheat and voluntary
wheat.

Regarding Bonuses

Editor Times: As there are ru-
mors flying that the lead companies in
tend disseminating the "bonus" they
have been paying their employees for
some time, it might be of interest for
us to dip" into the matter little
and ascertain II possible whether or
not the discontinuance of the policy
Of paying this bonus would be justi-
fed with reference to the present
price Of lead.
Now for the first six months of
1915 the amount of lead produced by
the st. Joe-Doe Run companies was,
in round numbers, $4,000 tons. The
average price received for this in E.
st. Louis was $3.50 per cwt. Now let
us figure the production for the first
six months of 1916 at the same as
that of 1915, which would be $4,000
tons, or 'S4,0OO,O00 pounds, and the
average price received for first six
months production of 1916 was $3.50
per cwt. Now allow 1920 per cwt.
for cost of production for this is the
cost and we find this leaves them a
net profit of $500 per cwt. Now
then, if we multiply the 84,000,000
pounds produced the first six months
of 1916 by $3.50, the net profit per
one hundred pounds, it will give them
a net profit of $3,024,000 for the six
months production.
Now, fellow workers, considering
this enormous profit for only six
months, will we stand for the cutting
off of the bonus, can we as red-blood-
ed American citizens, in view of the
enormous profits obtained by those
companies from the production of
lead think of submitting to any re-
duction whatever in the amount of |
remuneration we now are receiving |
for our labor? Unfortunately, the
laboring man will stand for more in
justice and abuse of their rights than
any other class of citizens. But leti
the companies beware; there is a
limit to the amount of injustice the
laborer will stand for, and in view of
the unparalleled prosperity of the
lead industry and of the country
generally, that limit will be reached
whenever the mine operators of this
county undertake to reduce our pres
ent remuneration-call it wages, bon
us or any other name you may choose.
The darkest days that ever dawned
upon the workingmen of this Lead
Belt were the days upon which the
spirits of the lamented Parsons and
Graves took their departure. Since
their passing away, we have no one
to plead our cause in the counsels of
the st. Joe-Doe Run companies. We
believe that Mr.. Holmes of st. Louis,
if given chance, would see to it that
the employees in his charge received
their just due and would endeavor to
keep the mines and mills under his
in a reasonably safe and
sanitary condition. Mr.. Holmes has
been making a fight against ineffi-
cheney and Encouragement that his
most bitter opponents must admire.
Although fighting against tremendu-
GUS odds, he has pressed his oppo-
nents to the rope in groggy condi-
ton and iC will be but a short time
until they will go down, take the
count and retire from the ring very
sore, but great deal wiser men than
they now are. Holmes will win be-
cause he is right. Right may be
crushed for awhile, but it will, in the
end, prevail.

s5OO,OOO FOR MELON CROP

The watermelon crop in Southeast
Missouri this year proved to be one
Of the best in the history of the wa
termelon industry, despite the drovth,
which for time threatened the crop.
The Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt
railroads have already handled close
to 1900 carloads and many cars are
yet to be loaded in this section.
The highest market price paid was
S212 a car, but the cooler weather has
caused considerable drop in the mar
ket, cars now ranging in price from
$50 to $125.
1t is estimated that the value of the
watermelon crop alone in Southeast
Missouri this year was 100000. The
acreage will be greatly increased next
year.-St. Louis Republic.

AN OLD COMMISSION

DR.. Smiley brought to our office
Monday some very interesting docu-
ments. One was a commission issued
in 1908 by the Governor of Virginia
to his father, Samuel Smiley, desig-
mating him captain. Later a com
mission was issued making him ma
jor.
There were also three commissions
as justice of the peace issued to Sam
uel Smiley by the early Governors of
our State. One of them was while Mr..
Smiley lived in st. Charles county in
1925, and later he was commissioned
a justice of the peace in Lincoln coun-
ty.
DR.. Smiley stated that he had also
among his papers a letter written in
1897, which carried 50-cent postage
stamp. The sender had failed to put
on a stamp, which would have been
rs cents, consequently the party to
whom it was addressed had to pay
penalty of Is cents.-DeSoto Repub-
