Better Farming i'm the South
SOUTHERN FARMERS FERTILIZER ADVANTAGE
souths Aid in Boil Weev Fight
A. WHITTLE

Recently Southern fertilizer con-
Germ obtained large order for acid
phosphate from Holland at $50 per ton.
Contrast this $500 per ton with $4,000
per ton paid by the Southern farmer.
If the Dutch farmer can afford to
pay $55 per ton for acid phosphate
and make it pay, how much more can
a Southern farmer obtain when he
can buy about three times as much
phosphate with the same money?
Dutch farmers are shrewd and thrift
ty. They have developed agriculture
to a very high state of efficiency, and
they know quite well what can be
done with acid phosphate at S55 per
ton. Their land is not poor. To the
contrary it 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, fertiliz-
ing it pays Out of their experience
they find that it pays them now to
invest as much as $50 per ton in acid
phosphate.
Aids. In Combating Boil WeevI
Under boil weevil conditions, early
maturing of cotton is essential. Acid
phosphate, of course, promotes the fru-
ition and maturing of cotton. All ag-
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
SIS 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-
dent OF fertilizer. i
Not only is the Southern farmer ia
vored by reason of the natural de-
posits of phosphate materials, but, in
recent years, the South has become
a great manufacturer Of sulphuric |
acid. Sulphuric acid has an import
ant place in many forms of manufac
turing, and is one Of the essentials |
in making munitions of war, hence
large quantities Of it have been drawn |
to the munition plants at enhanced |
prices. The high market for sulphuric |
acid has lifted the price of acid phos-
phate over that of former years, but
not enough to prevent its still being a
most economical plant food.
The Quickly Available Form
Acid phosphate is that form of phos- |

BOMB PLOT NIPPED

Hobroken, N. j., March 6.-With the
arrest here today of Fritz Kolb, Ger

lief that they had frustrated we'll
developed plot to aid Germany by
blowing up American munition plants

they found in Kolb's room two bombs,
which according to rumors that had
reached them, were to be sent to
President Wilson.
After a preliminary investigation,
however, they announced themselves

PUSH COTTON IN
WEEvIL TERRITORY
]. c. Prldmore, Aaronomist.


Inquiry-"How would you fertllize
to beat the boil weevil to the cotton?'
In growing cotton under boil weeyil
conditions, several factors must be
given consideration. The land should
be well drained and well supplied with
vegetable matter. Good seed OF va
riety adapted to the locality should
be chosen, and, of course, variety
that will mature it's 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 fer
tilizer carrying 10 per cent to II per
cent phosphoric acid, to 4 per cent
nitrogen and small per cent of pot
ash, if 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, a fertilizer carry
ing all three clements is desirable.
Use 10 to IL per cent phosphoric acid,
8 or per cent nitrogen and l or z
per cent potash, at the rate of 300 to
400 pounds to the acre.

SOY BEANS IN THE ROTATION

Inquiry-"WilI you recommend a
rotation in which soy beans, cotton
and some other crop will be used?'
Soy beans are highly recommended.
They are legume and, therefore, do
not require much nitrogen. The 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
southern conditions Hollybrook and
Monmouth Yellow are recommended.

WILL NOT MAKE TRIP
TO INSPECT SEWERS
City Engineer Anders and Ccmmis-

They Should Be Sent.

Stating that the city engineer had
been approached by interested parties
to recommend two-piece segment
block for the big trunk sewer, to be
built in the south side of the city,
because it was $1,000 cheaper to the
contractor and that, as the contrac-
tor has the privilege of choosing any
kind of block he desires as long as
it will stand the required test, Com
missioner Blakemore and City En-
gineer F. L. Anders declined the honor
OF being dispatched to st. Louis to
view the two-piece block being in
stalled there.
Mr.. Anders stated that he did not
care where the city sent him as long
as it paid the expense of his trip, but
that he did not feel 1t would be quite
the right thing to go at the expense of
the manufacturer of the block being
investigated. The engineer also filed
a report stating that James Kennedy,
contractor, had stated to him that he
was going to use the one-ptece block

Rev. j. T.. WiIdemuth Closes Confer
ence of North Dakota District
with Splendid Address.

The North Dakota district conference
of the Reorganized Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints. is now
matter of history. The attendance was
good, considering the cold, disagreeable
weather, some delegates coming from
west of Bismarck, and others from the
near parts of Minnesota.
The position of this denomination
was made plain by Rev. ]. z. Wilder
muth, in the closing discourse. on the
Apostasy and Restoration. The speak
er's object wa sto show that the church
of Jesus Christ was lost to the world
for a period of 1850 years (Rev. KID
and that the church with apostles. pro

Christ upon the roc kof Christ re-
veaIed" Matt. xvi, 10, was to be over

sparing the flock; that Christ could
not come until there was a falling
away first, and taht man of sin be
revealed (Acts Xxx. 20, 81; IL. Thess.

The speaker called attention to the
fact that a famine was to be in the
land, not of bread to eat or water to
drink, but of the hearing the Word of
the Lord preached (Amos viii, 23-25(;
that one of the signs of the Lords
coming was the preaching of the Gospel
in all the world for aw illness, and that
then should the end come Matt xxiv).

Three Days After Philadel-
phia Crime, Mystery
Is Unsolved
lRx Associated Press


Philadelphia, Jan. 3. - Three days
after the body of Maize Colbert, the
advertising art model, was found in
her uptown apartment the police were
still trying to unravel a maze of clues
and apparently were as far from a
solution of the murder mystery as they
were when the crime was discover
ed.
The captain of city detectives per-
sists in a theory that the murder was
committed by a degenerate. He be-
lieves the slayer to have been a negro.
A police surgeon, the first medical
man to see the body, disagreeS with
this theory. The physician contends
that two persons might have been in
the room because no blood was on the
girls clothing and one person could
not have carried the body without get
ting blood on the garments.
A dozen persons, including a wealthy
manufacturer and young university
man, have been questioned by detec-.
tives, and the police have in their
possession letters and pictures show
ing that many men well known in this
city were admirers Of Miss Coll
bert.

Despite the belief that the girl was
beaten and strangled by a degenerate,
there are persistent reports that a
