INCREASED HAY YIELDS
FROM TOP DRESSING
Experiments Prove Use Of Fertilizers
In The Spring Most Profitable.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ,
Maryland Agricultural College
Extension Service.

Extension Service.
The production of the average tim
Othy meadow in Maryland is very far
below what it can be made to yield
proftably in both quality ard yield per
acre. The low yields and poor quality
are not due so much to poor germina-
ton and poor stand in the spring after
seeding as to the crowding out of the
timothy by weeds. Where weeds are
the determining factor the remedy is
sowing the timothy, or timothy and
clover, alone in the early fall, not, with
a grain crop, but after the grain crop
has been harvested and a fine, firm
seeded prepared.
Where the stand of timothy is fair
the yield can be prof1tably increased
by the use of commercial fertilizers.
Extensive tests ct the Maryland Elk
pertinent Station with various kinds
and combinations of fertilizers have
shown beyond question that the best
fertilizer for timothy is nitrate of soda
or combin alton of nitrate of soda
and acid rock. The proper amount
to apply depends of course upon the
fertility of the soil, but ordinarily
nitrate of soda should be applied at
the rate Of from $50 to $50 pounds
per acre, and if combination of acid
rock and nitrate of soda is used equal
parts, the mixture should be applied
at the rate of 200 to $50 pounds per
acre. Such an application under
ordinary conditions may be expected
to give an increase in yield of from
l to l Y tons per acre.
/ The time Of applying the fertilizer is
very important 1t should be applied
as soon as the grass begins to green,
which is usually the latter part of
March or the first of April. The early
application of the fertilizer is abso
lutely necessary for maximum returns,
for the fertilizer can not be made use
Of by the plant until it has been dis
solved and carried down into the soil
The early application makes use of
the early rains.
Many farmers have been disap.
pointed when using nitrate of soda
because they have applied it too late
or at time when there was not sufi
cient moisture to dissolve it, so that
the timothy would get full use OF
what was applied before maturing.

WHY NOT TRUE PREPAREDNESS
IN RURAL EDUCATION?

Preparedness" is the present cry.
Well, genuine ety lion is true prep
aration. Teach 81 youths how to be.
come efficient an :, economical in their
life work and the problem is readily
solved.
Make the Corn Clubs, the Home
making Clubs, the Poultry competi.
tons, the Cooking and Sewing con.
tests and all such activities a part of
the school system. Let the work on
the farm and in the home become
part of the school study. Let the rural
school not only teach farm accounting,
but have the pupils keep the accounts
of their farms and homes.
Seed testing, soil examination,
stock judging and selecting, garden
planting, and working, household man.
agement and routine, canning fruit and
vegetables, milk management, egg
testing, incubating, brooding, bal
ancing rations and feeding the rations,
recording progress, and studying re.
suits, learning TO reason on homely
subjects and to solve personal prob
lens, learning to think and to work
eficiently-these are some of the
items Of real rural education-is this
narrow educating? No. 1t is as
broad as the life and the work of the
world. Are we leaving out culture?
No. The highest and best culture
comes through studying intelligently
the country, the life about US, nature,
human nature, and the work of the
world-this we cannot do without
knowing something of the thoughts OF
our poets, our philosophers, our his
torians, and our writer's as we'll as ouI
scientists ard our teachers of practical
things. We should have all of the
best that we have now, but so applied
as to make the life we live brighter
and more satisfying to our children
Educate to this end

VAUBEL Tells
OF HIS RELIEF
Well Known Minneapolis Clerk
Warmly Praises New Med
icine, Tanlac.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept. 20
< Charles P. Vaubel, clerk at the
Minneapolis Iron store, who lives at
5341 Forty-second avenue south,
told on July 1, Of the benefits he
gained through use Of Tanlac, the
Master Medicine.
Il suffered from stomach trouble
for a long time" Mr.. Vaubel said.
ut seemed that my whole system
was in a run down condition Gas
would form in my stomach and
was troubled frequently with bleat-
ing. My appetite also was poor. I
was told that my stomach was ul-
cerated.
Friends recommended Tanlac and
I decided to give this new medicine
a trial. I've taken four bottles of
Tanlac now and I certainly feel fine
I eat heartily and I thoroughly en-
joy my meals. The gas formations
have left my stomach and my d.
gestion is excellent.
tqTanlac certainly has done me a
lot Of good. My friends all tell me
I never looked healthier in my life
and I don't believe I ever felt bet
ter" "
Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is
especially beneficial for stomach,
liver and kidney trouble, catarrhal
complaints, rheumatism, nervous
ness, loss of appetite and the like.
Tanlac is now being specially in
troduced and explained in Warren

PAvLos CREW ON ALAMEDA
 BOUND FOR THEIR HOMES

J. w. Nicholson, first officer; Greg Johnson. pilot, and nine members of the crew of the wrecked steamer Paw lof. passed through Juneau early this morning on the Alameda, bound for their homes in Seattle and Belling- ham.
 The Pavlof was wrecked on January 17th by striking a reef on Alatakl.lx island. one Of the Trinity group at the south end of Kodiak Island, and after losing her propeller and an of hor anchors drifted for 30 miles and piled up on a sand bar Fifteen mem- bers Of her crew are standing by the wreck

for some time. Finally he secured permission from some one In Seattle to use Q boat which was at seldovia. in winter quarters
 Boat Froznn ln.
 Bradford arrived at Seward on the Admiral Faragut on bis way to Kcd- iax, and Waller aud one of hls prin- clpals boarded the same boat for sel. dovip. The gus boat WIS frozen in and the engine was out of repair but after working on her for practi. cally two days and nights she was ready to put to sea and tie party started without any delay. Bradford in the mean time had reached Kodiak where @ large cannery tender waa waiting his arrival and was already on his way with good start
 Then for over a thousand miles along the coast of the Alaskan Penin- sula. bucking gales and snow storms, travelling In small gas boats every mile of the way the race continued, both boats being pushed for every thing they had in them.
 Unga was reached at last with Brad ford Q good day ahead of his rival Dog teams secured, both parties start ed on the long overland mush to the shores of Herendeen Bay, on Port Muller. Boring Son. where the site was located. Waller arrived there in duo time but found that Bradford had been there for at least a day.
 The story Of how the two parties worked on tho survey. each straining every nerve and using every trick known. to beat out his rival, will prob ably never be known. but Bradford and his party fiplshed first and the return trip was started. Tho story Of the return Is lost for the time be. ing but Waller arrived on the Farra- gut yesterday and filed his survey in the office of Secretary Davidson at once. Brndford's survey has not been received as yet.
 The next step in the fight for the site is up to tho officials of the land office, the attorneys of the opposing companies and the Department of the Interior, and it is probable that some time will elapse before the question as to which of the contestants really wins is really settled.
