FERTILIZATION OF WHEAT.

." gF -. .
THE following statement
concerning the fertilization OF
wheat this fall was issued by
the department of agricultural
extension at Purdue Univer-
sity,' July 4, 1917:
The fertilization of the
wheat crop was never more
important than it will be this
fall. From every part Of Indi-
ana come reports of the excel
lent results secured from fer
tilization and the very poor
yields of wheat secured from
unfertilized soil. By fertiliz-
ing, the farmer swaps dollars
for eagles.
evidence on the profita-
bleness Of fertilizing h e
wheat is abundant" 'In 1915
L. M. WaggonerLof st. Joseph
county, applied two hundred
pounds of acid phosphate to
the acre, on all but a small
part a field sown to wheat.
From the fertilized part he Sc
cured 22.4 bushels of wheat
to the acre, and on the infer
tilted, 1875 bushels to the
acre-a gain Of 90 bushels,
due to fertilizing."
This year two hundred
pounds of acid phosphate will
cost about 1925, and wheat
is worth. 5000 per bushel. On
this basis the increase secured
by Mr.. Waggoner would be
worth $3.50 and the profit
after counting expenses of ap-
plying fertilizer and paying
for harvesting and marketing
the increased crop would be
more than $500 an acre. If
this isn't a case of swapping
collars 1Or eagles IL comes
very near to it.
The Ohio experiment sta
ton of Wooster, as an average
for the last twenty wv years,
has secured an increase of
80 bushels of wheat to the
acre, from an application of
100 pounds of acid phosphate
to the acre. The phosphated
yield has been 1912 bushels,
and the unphosphated 11.2
bushels. Where 1000 pounds
Of potash has been added to

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's An Old
time Recipe That Anybody
Can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandma
theirs time. She used it to keep her
hair beautifully dark, glossy and at
tractive. Whenever her hair took
on that dull, faded or streaked ap-
pearance, this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at time home is mussy
and o~ut-of-date. Nowadays, by ask
ing at any drug store for a 5O-cent
bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get this
famous old preparation, improved by
the addition of other ingredients,
which a be depended upon to re-
store natural color and beauty to
the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
saws it darkens the hair so NATURALLY
and evenly that nobody a tell it
has been applied. You simply dam
pen a sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair,
taking n strand at a time. BY
morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or
two, t becomes beautifully dark and
glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com

for those who desire a more youth

ton of disease.-Adv.

sent prices for wheat and be-
fore war prices for potash the
increase in the wheat crop was

should fertilizer wheat this
fall. Fertilizer not only In
creases the yield directly, but
the greater supply of available

the farmer may expect a re-
turn of at least five dollars for
every dollar spent for wheat
fertilizer this fall.

Washington, Feb. 20
President Wilson appear

o'clock this afternoon and

dents words.

ASKS FOR POWER.
President Wilson asking
to be empowered 10 take
whatever steps are neccs-
sary which includes the
arming of ships, the con-
voying Of merchantmen by
war vessels or what other
steps are necessary, made
it plain again that he want
ed peace, but not at the
price of American lives
and rights or by driving
the American flag from the
seas.
Congress is expected not
only TO authorize the pres
ident to use the armed
forces of the country, but
also 90 provide money.
DOES NOT MEAN WAR
Once before in the in
fancy of the republic,
state of armed neutrality
was proclaimed to check
predatory violence" upon
American rights in the
war between France and
England, but ii did not re-
suit actually in war for the

neutrality will mean war
