According to our experience and OBJ
servation 1t is best, as a rule, to put
most of the fertilizer used under cot
ton and corn down at the time the
crop is planted. On thin soils. or those
low in vegetable matter, side applica-
lions may prove profitable at times, pro-
vided the application is made relatively
early in the growing season. All the
tests and Investigations made up to
this time indicate that these plants
take up their food relatively early in
The season and that the use of side
applications may be delayed so long
that the crop will receive comparative
~ little benefit from their use. Il is
very important that acid phosphate and
potash be, as a rule, used under the
drill row. If any side application can
be used to advantage you are likely
TO obtain profit from an application
Of nitrate OF soda or some other car
rier of nitrogen which becomes very
quickly available than from the more
slowly available organic carriers of this
element Since cotton is backward and
small We would he disposed to push
L forward with some nitrate of soda
and q moderate ration of acid phos-
phate. Suppose you use 200 pounds of
acid and 100 pounds of nitrate. We
believe this is the best combination
you can use. We do not think you
will be over-fertilizing If you make
such an application. even in view of
the 800 pounds of fertilizer you have
already applied TO your land.

tried patience We tried forbeance precep

the other cheek until long supply cheeks exhausted And
all these have failed So how defend ourselves

Missouri farmers may expect to
pay a high price for binding Irvine
this year. The penitentiary here will
be able to supply only a small frac-
ton Of what the farmers will need.
Warden Painter Of the penitentiary
stated that he did not believe the
prism shop would be able to turn out
more than 5000 pounds of Irvine this
season.
Sisal, the fabric from which the
binder Irvine is made, should have
been purchased last summer when it
could have been obtained at a low
price. Now 1t costs 10 cents or more
per pound.
The supply is supposed to be con-
trolled by trust which the govern
ment is now seeking to prosecute.
Most of the supply comes from Mex
leo. The warden says 1t would be

The food conservation conference
which met at the capital was near
the verge Of disruption when Chair
man p. P. Lewis took steps to pre-
vent the adoption of a resolution de-
manding national prohibition as a war
measure.
The fight arose when w. H. Stub

deau, declared he would present the
resolution to the full conference after
It had been defeated in the resolutions
committee.
stitute dry" resolution offered by
Whitaker, was adopted with only two
dissenting votes. It expressed sympa-
thy with the movement to check the
use of corn and other foodstuffs in
the manufacture of alcohol during the
war period.
The calculations of the dry leaders
were upset when r. D .Mumford, dean
of the College of Agriculture at Mis-
souri, University, led the fight in the
resolutions committee against the pro-
hibition resolution. Mumford was the
chairman of the resolutions commit
Zee and the dry" delegates thought
he was one 3 them. He made three
speeches against the resolution ON
the ground that it was inexpedient.
A. L. McCawley, protege Of Cor
nelius Roach, led the fight on the
dry resolution on the floor Of the con-
ference.
Aside from the fight on this ques-
ton the conference went Of. like a
well-oiled machine.
A resolution favoring the selective
draft for recruiting was adopted with
out opposition.
Another resolution favored granting
to Secretary Houston the power he
has asked of congress which would
permit him to control the price and
supply of foodstuffs.
Mere than $50 delegates from every
section of the state were present.
The governor opened the meeting
with statement of its purpose and re-
quested the cooperation of all classes
Of Missourians to secure increases in
the production Of agricultural out
put and the conservation Of food.
P. P. Lewis, president of the State
