INCREASED VALUE OF MANURE
Field Tests Conducted at University
Of Missouri in Different Soils
and Seasons.

Just what the farmer can pay Tor
a ton Of manure or for hauling and
taking care Of II varies with differ
ent conditions. For ten years the UNI
versity of Missouri College OF Agricul-
ture has been investigating this ques-
ton. Field tests have been made In
13 different parts Of the state. Diner
ent soils. seasons, and kinds OF ma
nure have been included under ordi-
nary methods of farming.
In practically all cases eight tons OF
manure to the acre was applied once
in four years and plowed under before
the corn crop. No manure was ap
piled on the following crops or oats
wheat and clover. but the yields were
all recorded. The increase in crop
yields caused by the use Of eight tons
OF manure per acre were as follows:
1Oh bushels Of corn. 81 bushels Of
wheat. 4 bushels Of oats. and about
1000 pounds of hay. This Is a
average from GO tests on corn and
a somewhat less number on the
other crops. Figuring these increases
at normal prices they are worth about
SIG, or about 81 ton for the eight
tons Of manure applied. With present
prices. which are almost double those

HEADS WAR INDUSTRIES BOARD

There is story in Washington TO
the effect that when Frank A. Scott,
head of the governments new war in
dustries board, applied for his first job
as q boy in u freight Office, the chief
said he would hire him if he were only
tall enough to reach the wheel of the
letter press. Couldn't l stand on a
bOx?' asked the boy. The freight
agent had not thought of that, but the
idea appealed to him, and Scott got
the joe. He made such good use OF
its opportunities that in the course of
time he became the expert on freight
rates of the Cleveland chamber of
commerce. He became various other
things, too, in organizing and manufac-
turing, but this is not a biographical
sketch of Scott. 1t is enough to say
that his qualifications were sufficiently
known and appreciated by the secre-
tary of war and other members of the
administration for them to summon
him to Washington at the outset of
