Nitrogen alone produces the best

the smaller was with sulphate of am
monia.
A mixture contains nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid, and potash in the ration
OF the numbers which characterize the
mixture. Thus 3-12-2 mixture con-
tains IA parts OF phosphoric acid and
potash to parts of nitrogen. Potash
and prosphoric acid have never pro-
duced an increase on Palouse soil, so
that the largest part of mixture is
absolute waste. Prof. P. P. Peterson,

ture" is wasting both time
and money, as it contains
elements which are of no
value to him whatever. On
the other hand a simple
nitrogen fertilizer such as
a nitrate of soda or sui
plate of ammonia, will
produce yields increased
as high as so per cent an
nually.
A three-year experiment
with nitrate of soda upon
plots by the department of
soils gave the following
results:
No. of Average
Crop crops increase
Wheat 80. 3 13 bu.
Oats 49,. 2 IL blu.
Potatoes -. 1 &c blu.
One farmer obtained an
80 per cent increase, one
about 40 per cent, and
another about a 10 per cent
increase by the use of a
simple nitrogen fertilizer.

BADGES FOR. WAR
MOURNERS TO Be
GIVEN BY RED X

The American Red Cross will pro-
vide the mourning brassards 10 be
worn by the relatives of men who
have given their lives for their coun
try, according to an announcement
made by the War Council and received
here today.
These brassards, which are to be
used in lieu of general mourning, were
suggested and designed by the wom-
ANS committee of the Council of Ma
Itional Defense, the idea being endorsed
by President Wilson in letter he sent
ito the woman's committee. Brassards
will be furnished free to the parents
or widows of men who have died n
the service and at cost to other men,
bers of the family.
The brassard, which is to be worn
,,on the left sleeve, midway between the
'elbow and shoulder, is band of
black broadcioth or other material 3
inches wide, on the surface of which
the regulation military star is en-
broidered in gold thread. The num-
Der of stars on a brassard will denote
the extent of the sacrifice made by
each family.
The brassards will be made and dis
Itributed by the chapters of the Red
Cross working in conjunction with To-
cal units of the woman's committee of
the Council of National Defense. An
initial supply of materials for the
manufacture of the mourning en-
blems has been purchased by the Red
Cross and will be forwarded to the
fourteen divisions of the organization
for distribution through their chapters.
1t is expected that the first of the
brassards will be ready for distribu-
tion shortly. A brief statement ac-
Icompanying the announcement says:
"In adopting this insignia the wom-
as committee desired it should never
be commercialized, but that it should
always be possible for the members
of the families of those who have made
this supreme sacrifice prepare for
themselves this badge of honor"

MOT0RLESS SUNDAYS
FOR NAVY OFFICERS

Hereafter motorless Sunday will be
strictly observed in the United States
navy. Copies of the recent orders of
Secretary of the Navy Daniels in
structing all navy officers to obey
the rules of the Fuel Administration
have been received here.
The order is interesting especially
as showing the civilian population that
the nations fighters are sacrificing
and economizing, as are all other good
Americans, that victory may be as
sured The order follows:
at has been brought to the atten-
ton of the officials of the government
that few army and navy officers
did not observe the request of Direc-
tor Garfield not to use automobiles
and motor boats On Sundays. 1t is the
direction of the department that this
request be regarded as an order of the
Navy Department and that in no case
shall any person in the naval service
use an automobile on Sunday except
for rstrrictly official business, and
this official business must be of a
military character that cannot be
transacted on any other day. 1t is
the duty of the men in uniform to set
an example and it is to their credit
that nearly every man in the service
has gladly acquiesced. Our duty is to
give 100 per cent compliance"
