In asking the Southern Pacific 80

eighteen months, the business men of
Salem were asking favor of rail
road without precedent in the history
of railroading.
While in the city yesterday, confer
ring with the committee appointed by
the Commercial club, assistant Mana
ger Dyer of Portland expressed himself
as willing to do everything in his pow
er to help the city in the present emer-
gency, although acting ON the advice
of the railway bridge engineers, he
preferred to solve the problem in some
other way besides the planking of the
bridge.
Should the higher officials refuse to
permit the planking of the bridge, il
has been suggested that railroad fer
ry be established following the plaT
adopted several years ago at Kansas

properly prepared for freight servic,
whereby teams and autos could he driv

for planking the bridge and the secur

liable insurance company whereby thu
railroad cannot be held liable for dam

Early Morning Fire.

Tuesday about o'clock a. m.'
when the whole city was asleep, the
fire boys had an early call to a fire
out on Manning avenue, across the
railroad, Despite the early hour, the
firemen were on their job and did
good work in getting to the fire and
putting out the conhagration.
When the truck reached the scene,
the building was almost half destroy
ed but a connection was 0on made
and q couple of streams were playing
on the blaze. The building, which
was a store owned by Mrs. Ligon, but
occupied by a negro, was too far gone
to be saved but good work was done
in saving. the adjoining building
which caught several times.

time, however, a negro suspect has
been captured in Manning and 1t is

How to Double the Returns From
Each Acre i'm Corn.

During the past ten years the aver
age acre of corn in the South has
yielded, on an average, Is bushels. We
propose here to show that it is possible
this year to exactly double the returns
from each acre In corn. To do this.
three things must DE done.
1. Cultivate shallow and, often.
Drouth at critical period often is re-
sponsible for heas y decreases in corn
yields. Drouths cf course are beyond
oar power to prevent, but cultivation
of the right kind may largely offset
their evil effects. When we destroy
grass and weeds by cultivation the
moisture and plant food they would
have taken Of course go to the corn
crop. Let us, then, see to 1t that
these robbers are never allowed to
grow in our corn fields, Good cult
vation also saves moisture for the corr
crop nv preventing loss through evap-
oration. Every farmer should aim to
have a dust blanket or dust mulch
maintained in every corn field. This
is step No. /, and should, if generally
practiced, raise the average yield no
less than five bushels per acre.
2. Top-dress with nitrate Of soda
or sulphate of ammonia. We think
there is no possible doubt that the
greatest plant food need Of corn, at
least in the South. is nitrogen. or
course the best way to get this nitro
gen is from the air through legumf
crops, but right now we have many
millions of acres that arc sorcly in
need of nitrogen, and there is n
time to wait for the legumcs. The
corn crop needs it and needs it i'm
mediately. To supply this immediate
need, nitrate of soda or sulphatc Of
ammonia at the rate of GO, so or 100
rounds per acre should be used. This
! is step No. 2 and should, on millions
Of acres Of our thin lands, raise the
corn yield another five bushels per
acre
g. Plant peas. beans or peanuts
with all corn. Just as nowadays tho
farmer who fails to get a second crol
after his small grain is, doing poo
work. so the farmer who fails to grow

Using any one of the three crops
named will certainly result in an in.
creased return from the land that will

and probably ten or fifteen. This is
step No. 3.
Are YOU going to do these things
that will double the return from your
land, or are you going to be content

with Mr.. Bryan's statement tc
the Austrian minister had much
to do with the treatment melted
out to us and which drew us into
the strife. And, too, it is the
demagogue politician and the
peace advocates who will have
on their hands the blood of
thousands of our boys before the
war is over, unthoughtedly we
hope, but there nevertheless.
Already some have shed their
blood here by opposing the law
and many will shed their blood
abroad because of encourage
ment given the enemy. The
blood of every sucn will at, the
final reckoning, be required at
the hands o. him who caused it
to be shed. Then let US be very
careful not to say or do single
thing that will disunite our be-
loved country. Rather let US
strive with all our might to
bring closer together any dis

and present a solid front to the
