I'm a general way / have always be-

years, a nan in oil circumstances kind,
gentle, ~forbearing; seeing good in
everyone and willing to make excuses
for everybody. There was one person
who I knew had no tiger.
Our mild-mannered neighbor drop

had read something in the paper,
and l picked the paper up again and
read this thing to him. 1t was an
account of something that the Ger

thing so contrary to all civilized
usages that it seemed incredible, and 1

FERTILIZERS FOR GOOD CROP
Wastes Obtained in Utilization of All

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Since fertilizers are used as food
for plants 1t will follow that plants,
and particularly certain parts of
plants, may serve as fertilizers for a
new crop. This fact has long been
recognized, and the wastes obtained in
the utilization of all plant products
may therefore be disposed of for fer
tilizer use. AT n time a plant
waste known as cottonseed meal, OBJ
tanned in the manufacture of cotton
seed Oil, constitute the largest single
source of heterogeneous material used
In fertilizers, and the quantity still
used for this purpose is in excess of
100000 tons annually. Plant wastes
of this kind, together with certain ami
nal wastes, as dried blood, are now
being used, however, more and more
as feed for animals; but even In the
utilization Of organic wastes fertiliz-
ers will no doubt still always con-
sumo the greater number IF products,

is seen In the recovery Of potash as a
by-product In the manufacture of nico-
tine from tobacco waste. In this
there Is also furnished another Illus

Industrial wastes furnished about
40 per cent Of the potash, s per cent
Of the phosphoric acid, and IS per

The potash was obtained from such
wastes as tobacco stems. cottonseed

cannot be destroyed in this manner af-
ter they have become well established.
Injury to the stand is averted by
slanting the teeth of the harrow back
ward about 30 degrees, although an
excessive slant Is undesirable. When
a weeder Is used the teeth directly
over the rows are often removed.
Either tool had best be used In the af-
ternoon or on a hot day, when the
plants are wilted and limp. The pc
riod of greatest danger to the stand
is just a the plants are coming
through the ground, at which time
and for a few days thereafter, harrow
ing Is inadvisable. A short trial win
demonstrate whether the injury is
greater than the saving, although one
should not lose courage too quickly.
Harrow These Crops.
Crops which can be narrowed sue
cessfully include corn, cotton, potatoes,
field beans and peas, sugar beets, sor-
ghum, cane, peanuts, Sudan grass, al
falfa, sweet clover, wheat, barley, oats
and rye. The grain crops are har-
rowed more to remove wild mustard
and other weeds than for the sake of
cultivation. Special harrows are made
for broadcast alfalfa.
Tobacco, cabbage and other trans
planted crops, as well as young grass
and clover seedlings and most truck
crops, r too delicate for this method
of ~cultivating.
Narrowing cannot be expected to
give good results unless the surface
soil Is In good filth. The object Of
narrowing is to maintain, not to make,
a seed bed. For this reason the prac-
lice Is most popular on the lighter
types Of soil. as these are easily pre-
pared and worked. Very good results
are secured, however, on heavy clay
loan soils. and the practice Is rapidly
extending rs the requirements become
more generally understood.
Sim clay soils, wet SOIL and sofl on
which a hard crust has formed should
not be narrowed. as the Implements
must be weighted 30 heavily that they
win ipJure the crop.

WEEDER REDUCES
COST OF LABOR
Use of Spike Tooth Harrow Is
Practice Not Generally En-
ployed on Farms.
WORK DONE IN SHORT TIME
Crops Can Be Cultivated Twice as
often During First Part of Season
Weeds Killed by Wholesale
During Month of May.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
A farm practice not generally en-
ployed is the use Of the weeder or the
spike-tooth harrow instead of the usu-
al One-row cultivator In cultivating
crops like corn, cotton and potatoes.
This practice does not involve buying
new implements. 1t means only a diff
ferent use of those already ON many
farms, yet it reduces labor cost 40 per
cent and does the job in one-third the
time.
On well-prepared ground which is
r from stones, clods and trash, q
two-section harrow or a 12-foot weeder
can be used for all but the heaviest
cultivating until the crops are 5 to 6
inches high, and will do the work
in One-third the time required by q
two-horse c%ultivator. By using the
larger implements the cost of cultiva-
ton is reduced from 80 per cent to
about 20 per cent of the cost of grow
ing the crop, besides releasing valu-
able farm labor for other work dur
ing the busy season. If desired, the
crops can be cultivated twice as often
during the first part of the season, in
which case there will be little hoeing
and ~cultiyating to do during haying.
In either event the weeds are killed
wholesale in May, instead of a row at
ut a time in June.

quent, adulteration by the use of large
quantities Of seed Of other vetches and
similar plants has become a COMMON
practice. Seed of common vetch aver
age considerably larger than those of
hairy vetch. They are slightly fiat
tened, which prevents them from roll
ing readily. The surface is more or
less distinctly notified. the color Of the
seed ranging from light brown to
green. In old seed the general color
is dark.
Seeds Of hairy vetch arc small and
nearly spherical, the usual color rang
ing from gray to loaded black. New
seed may be somewhat brown or green.
A conclusive distinction between the
two kinds is seen in the seed scars
with the aid Of a magnifer. The scars
Of common vetch are narrowly wedge
shaped and have n slight ridge, while
the scar in the hairy vetch is broad
and oval in shape and is often split
along the center. When one is ia
miliar with the appearance of vetch
seed and "a recognize it by means of
the scar as seen under a magnifier, the
detection of other seeds used in adul-
teration is not difficult.

crop plants are tough and heavily

and there is some tearing of the

offset by seeding a little more heavily

for these charges. Taxes last year
were s1,S1S,S90 in excess of 1916.
Gross earnings last year were S20,-

1916. Of the total revenues, $S,094 %
was used for operating expenses and
$7,067 PAL was paid out in dividends,

The report called attention to q seri-
Gus labor shortage in the company's
mines, due TO the strike caused last
June by the Industrial Workers Of the
World, the army draft and the country
wide demand for werkmen. Because of
this condition the company was forced
to curtail development work and out

Cotton

The cotton market was unsettled
during yesterdays trading. The war
news stimulated the desire to take
profits on long cotton, after recent eX
tensive advances, and there was also
bearish comment on-the reported rapid
progress on crop preparations, rains in
some parts of the Southwest and re-
newed talk of price fixing. May con-
tracts broke to 3273, or AZ points
below Fridays close, while later de-
liveries sold about 35 to 40 points net
lower. Offerings were we'll enough alb
sorbed by trade buying or covering to
cause rallies of several points in the
late trading, and May closed at $3.50,
with the general list closing steady, at
a net loss of II to 35 points.
The market was nervous from the
start First prices showed declines of
Is to 81 points under liquidation and
local pressure. There was also selling
here by houses with Southwestern con-
nections, which served to emphasize
the talk Of rain and the more favorable
character Of preliminary crop advices
The buying brought in by the initial
break caused buges right after the
call, but realizing was active, while
local sellers showed more confidence,
with the decline extending to 318S for
July and 30.67 for October during the
was a good buyer here, and there was
considerable covering which, with the
continued demand from trade sources,
was responsible for the closing rallies.
The nervousness noted around the
ring seemed to be largely associated
with the war news, although, aside
from that reactionary sentiment was
not unnatural after the advances Of
the earlier week and in view of the
possibility of price fixing either volun
tary or otherwise. Reports from the
goods trade indicated that business
had been checked to some extent by
the talk of price regulation, but that
the tone continued strong, with an adj
ton goods under the import embargo
did not seem to attract much attention,
for, owing to manufacturing conditions
abroad, it has been realized that do
nestle requirements would be more
dependent upon home outputs.
Weekly reviews of the crop outlook
noted the need of rain in the South
west and talk Of increased acreage
under foodstuffs, but said that some
planting had been done in Alabama and
that preparations generally were max
ing rapid progress. The weather map
