Boston, March 1G.--Two persons
were killed by an explosion in the
Suffolk county court house late to-
day. The explosion occurred in a

hole was torn in the floor. A police
official said it was the explosion of n

The two dead men were believed,
from pieces Of their colthing picked
up to have been soldiers. Their
bodies were torn to bits.
Judge Loring was holding a ses-
sion of the Superior Court in room
adjoining that in which the eXplo-
sion occurred.
The secrecy with which officials
surrounded the affair and their ex-
clusion OF reporters led to the re-
ports that al assassination had been
attempted. 1t was not denied that
the explosion was Of bomb.
The police admitted that their
present theory was that there had
been q premature explosion Of a
bomb or bombs while in the hands
OF two men who were carrying them
to the court room with murderous
intent. This theory would place the
responsibility on the men who were
killed.

PUSH COTTON IN
WEEVll TERRITORY
J. c. Pridmore, Agronomist.

y. -. FrldmoTc, V0rCnomtSt.
lnQuiry-"How would you fertilize
to beat the boil weevil to the cotton?"
In growing cotton under boil weevil
conditions, several factors must be
given consideration. The land should
be well drained and we'll supnlied with
vegetable matter. Good seed Of a va
riety adapted to the locality should
be chosen, and, Of course, variety
that will mature Its fruit quickly and
resist wilt should be planted. Fer
tilize literally. and properly cultivate.
On the heavier soils, such as the red
clays and clay loans, the use of a fer
tilizer carrying 10 Per cont to IL per
cent phosphoric acid. 3 to 4 per cent
nitrogen and small per cent Of pot.
ash. IL it can be had, should be used.
Apply at the rate Of $50 to 400 pounds
per acre. On lighter soils in which
nitrogen, phosphorus and potash are
all usually deficient, fertilizer carry
jng all three elements Is desirable.
Use 10 to IL per cent phosphoric acid,
8 or 4 per cent nitrogen and or 2
per cent potash, at the rate Of 800 to
400 pounds to the acre.

SOY BEANS IN THE ROTATION.

InQuiry-"Will you recommend q
rotation In which soy beans, cotton
and some other crop will be used?"
Soy beans are highly recommended.
They are a legume and, therefore, do
not require much nitrogen. Tho hay
is abundant and the feeding value
high. The oil mills afford ready
market for the bean, and the cake
which Is produced by the mills has
splendid feeding values.
A good rotation to follow Is cotton
followed by corn with soy beans. fol-
lowed by oats and cowpeas. For

Recently a Southern fertilizer con.
Germ obtained large order for acid
phosphate from Holland at S55 per ton.
Contrast this $500 per ton with $4,000
per ton paid by the Southern farmer.
II the Dutch farmer can afford to
pay $66 per ton for acid phosphate
and make 1t pay, how much more can
q Southern farmer obtain when he
can buy about three times as much
phosphate with the same money?
Dutch farmers are shrewd and thrift
to very high state Of efficiency, and
they know quite we'll what can be
done with acid phosphate at 500 per
ton. Their land is not poor. To the
contrary 1t Is highly developed and
fertile. Every rod that can possibly
be used for agriculture is cultivated
like a garden. They have found that
no matter how rich their soil, fertili2.
Ing 1t pays. Out Of their experience
they find that it pays them now to
invest as much as $55 per ton in acid

ricultural authorities are now recon-
mending liberal use Of acid phosphate
in fertilizers as an important measure
In combating the boil weevil.
If the Southern farmer had to pay
$55 per ton for acid phosphate, what
a disadvantage he would face! Since
he only pays about one-third this price,
how fortunately situated he is! Ma
ture has placed here in the South
great deposits Of rock phosphate
which, when treated with sulphuric
acid, becomes acid phosphate, an ingre-
dient of fertilizer.
Not only is the Southern farmer ia
vored by reason of tho natural de-
posits of phosphate materials, but. in
recent years, the South has become
. great manufacturer of sulphuric
acid. Sulphuric acid has an import
ant place In many forms of manufac.
turing, and Is one of tho essentials
in making munitions of war, hence
large quantities Of it have been drawn
20 the ;munition plants at enhanced
prices. The high market for sulphuric
acid has lifted the price of acid phos-
phato over that of former years, but
not enough to prevent It's still being a
most economical plant food.
Tho Quickly Available Form
Acid phosphate is that form OF phos.
