ALPHABETIC AGITATION.

The alphabet is troubled and the let
ters as they fly
Arrange themselves in symbols most
distressing to the eye.
A point in politics that seemed as
plain as A, B. C
Becomes an unknown quantity like
x or Y or z,
It's tabled o. X. one moment and it's
marked N. G. the next.
It's hard to find @. E. D. for any
problem vexed,
We are piling up the dollars of the
world in vast array.
The KS and the VS. and other bills
come fast our way
Yet the ultimate consumer has his
troubles far from small;
His food comes C. o. d., or else it
doesn't come at all.
Now Uncle Sans a creditor 'mongst
nations of the earth;
He is taking over money as he gives
the moneys worth,
But when collecting times arrives, We
hope no one will dare
To hint with I. o. U. boats that we'd
better call it square.

II you think you are beaten, you are,

If you'd like to win but think you can't
It's almost cinch you won't.

For out of the world we find 81

It's all in the state of mind.

Is the one who thinks he can.

PLANT FOOD IN OUR SOILS


AS fundamental and important facts
of soil fertility and crop production
are being established, we farmers
should shape our methods of farming
so we can profit by the dearly-bought
discoveries OF science.
Science tells us that there are 81
elements which 60 to make up the
earth's crust. Out of all these only
ten are absolutely necessary to crop
production. Of these ten, three are
liable to become deficient in normal
soils. These are nitrogen, phOsphor.
Gus and potassium. In the soils of the
glaciated regions of the northwest
there is large supply Of potassium,
so large that this element will not
give us much concern for a long time,
especially if we use ordinary care in
our farm practices.
But the element which usually be-
comes deficient in such soils as we
have is that Of nitrogen. This is true
for two reasons. First, all nitrogen
found in the soil is found there as
ISOLATED with partially -decayed plant
and animal matter, known as organic
matter. This is to say that no nitro.
gen is found in the mineral matter Of
the soil, as is phosphorus. In the Sec
ond place, the plant takes more nitro
gen from the soil than any other ele-
ment.
It ought to be borne in mind then
that the ten elements named above
are absolutely necessary to plant
growth, and the amount of crop the
farmer gets during any one year is
largely determined by the amount Of
available plant food. Anyone of these
ten elements may be the leading factor
in the growing crop. That is, if there
is enough of water and all other things
to produce rs bushels Of wheat per
acre, but only enough nitrogen to grow
eight bushels, the farmer will only
get eight bushels of wheat. In many
parts of the world there are soils now
barren which once were fertile, simp-
ly because the nitrogen supply has
been exhausted.
How to avert such calamity in this
country is a problem which ought to
arouse more concern in the minds of
our people than some subjects which
are stirring the minds of many of our
patriotic citizens at this time. For
one of the most important problems
which mankind has to solve is the
maintenance of soil fertility.
From what has been said above, one
| would conclude that the maintenance
of soil fertility largely depends upon
the maintenance Of nitrogen and or.
ganic matter. DR.. Hopkins, Of the
University of Illinois, says Nitrogen
| is defined as a tasteless, colorless
odorless gas. In its pure form it con
stitutes about three fourths of the air
The total supply of nitrogen over each
acre of the earth's surface, if avail
able, would meet the needs of 100
bushel crop of corn every year fol
100000 years."
1t is not hard for one to see from
what DR.. Hopkins says concerning the
large amount of nitrogen in the all
that the farmers problem is to gel
some of this atmospheric nitrogen fix
ed in the soil so that ordinary plants
can make use of it. This topic will
be discussed in a future article.

THE SPIRIT THAT WINS

One of the best Illustrations Of what
can be accomplished by push, persev'
erence and energy was emphatically
shown by the successful manner in
which Marion's first annual Corn
Show was conducted. The show was
worth the effort and would have done
credit to a much larger city. Judging
from the remarks made by some OF
the visitors on those days, 1t more
than came up to the expectations OF
all those who were with US, and Marion
will derive much advertising Of an ad'
vantageous character. The spirit IN
which the affair was handled is the
spirit of the West, the spirit that
wins, which doesn't take into consider
alton the Ifs" and butts but adopts
a better than ever slogan and devotes
it's time and energy to accomplish that
end.

corn show.-Marion Sentinel.

ity. 1t goes into the homes at an hour

SOME READABLE VERSE

I'M SORRY; I WAS WRONG
There may be virtue in the man
Who's always sure he's right,
Who'll never hear another plan
And seeks no further light;
But like more the chap who sings
A somewhat different song;
Who says, when he has messed up
things,
I'm sorry; I was wrong"
It's hard for any one to say "
That failures due to him
That he has lost the fight or way
Because his lights burned dim.
It takes man aside to throw
The vanity that's strong,
Contrasting, "'Twas. my fault, know;
I'm sorry; was wrong"
And so, figure, those who use
This honest, manly phrase,
Hate It too much their way to lose
On many future days.
They'll keep the path and make the
fight,
Because they do not long
To have to say-when they're not
right
"Im sorry; was wrong"

CAN'T FIGURE OUT
THAT ADAMSON LAW
haiiroad Head Says Legal Talent
Hasn't Exactly Decided What
Ii Means.

CHICAGO, Nov. Be. p. Ripley.
president of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad, addressing men-
bers of the City club here today, let
1t be known that the legal talent Of
the railroads are still in n ouandary
as to what the roads should do with
regard to the .Adamson law.
Nobody knows what the Adamson
law means, or how it can be applied
to existing conditions" said Mr. Rlp-
ley. Nobody pretends to construe i.
and the best legal opinion is to the
effect that 1t cannot be construed to
be legal and binding statNte. fhis
means that If the railroads tried TO
enforce 1t as 1t reads there would be
a strike, because it would seriously
reduce the earnings of a large part
of the best and highest paid men. If,
on the other hand the railroad fol-
lows the law as the brotherhoods
would like them do, namely taking
the hot end of the poker in every
case, 1t would cost them a very large
sum, estimated at 100000, 900 a
year. No one can tell what the out
come will be. The law will be tested
and probably will find itself in tho
supreme court of the United States
unless modified by an act of congress
before its effective date"
