This name has been retained by its
present owner, altho 1t has lost its
significance SO far as poor crop yields
are concerned. The soil has been en-
riched by systematic treatment and
now produces very profitable crops.
The wheat on portland Farm this
year made more than a bushels per
acre. This was on land treated with
manure, limestone and raw rock phOs-
phate, On check strips where manure
only had been applied, the yield was
less than bushels per acre. and
where limestone was used In addition
to the manure. q bushels per acre
were harvested. The actual field
yields under these different soil treat.

tue OF a commission issued to them
under authority OF the President OF
the United States. The commission
footing from the ''noncom" (noncOm-

rank and authority from a higher
commissioned ofilcer) He obtains his
source. He is treated with respect
which is OF a different character from
that extended to a non-commissioned

the first lieutenant takes his place
and has full command, and in the
absence or disability of both the sec.

Next above the captain is the major

lieutenant colonel ordinarily assists
the colonel and in his absence takes
the command; In case both the lieu.
tenant colonel and the colonel are dis.

takes the command.
The General OFFICERS.
Above the colonel is the brigadier
general, whose proper command is a

turn reports to the Secretary OF War.
