SOIL PLANT FOODS REMOVED
Experiments Add Valuable Information
for Farmer In Use of Commercial
Fertilizer.

A great many experiments, care
fully controlled, have been made to
determine the amount of soil plant
food removed by crops, and while
in general way they are more in
teresting than practically instructing
for the average farmer, yet they add
valuable information along the line
Of the use Of commercial fertilizers.
The results obtained from the corn
experiments show an average use by
full crops of 80 pounds of nitrogen, 3S
pounds of phosphor!c acid, and 7S 40
hounds OF potash. The husking corn
uses more nitrogen In proportion than
the ensilage corn, but this is no doubt
due to the prolonged feeding season,
developing and ripening the ears, the
ensilage being cut in green stage.
There Is, however, quite a wide range
shown in some of the tests, which is
apparently due to the greater avail
ability of the soil ingredients. For
instance, In full crops OF both en-
silage and husking corn its potash
has been shown varying from 60 to
100 pounds 10 the acre of crops, while
the nitrogen and phosphoric acid main
tain their level average.

A Race Of Cripples.

The military medical authorities
have examined our citizens by the
thousands. The results of this ex-
animation in many instances: writes
Bernard Macfadden, In Physical Gull
ture, have been as follows:
Out of every five examined, one is
considered sound. The other four are
cripples. Some part of their internal
organisms is affected. The heart, stom-
ach, lungs. kidneys or some other vital
organ or function is crippled.
For generations the blind have been
leading the blind.
The physical body Isl of no special
Importance. The house In which we
live needs no special attention. 1t
'just grows" No matter how dirty
it may be. SO long as the dirt does
not show on the surface, there Is no
occasion for complaint or criticism.
That has been our attitude.
1t is about time for us ito change.
1t is about time for us to give the
body its proper appreciation. Learn
to respect 1t, to revere 1t, to care for
1t rs you would for your most preci-
GUS possession.

MOST EFFECTIVE ROAD TOOL
Drag Can ee Used In Maintaining Pub
lie Hiohways-They Are Easily
and Cheaply Made.

The most effective tool which can be
used In the maintenance of earth roads
is the road drag. The first drags were
made more than 80 years ago, but 1t Is
only during the last few years that
they have come into general use. They
are easily and cheapiy made, easily
operated and accomplish wonders If
properly used. Every mile Of earth
road In the state of Texas should be
maintained with drag, and If the

ent system of working the roads"
(this does not mean that all time and
money SO spent are wasted) were used
in dragging the roads, our states
would have some of the best earth

Military eyeglasses Is the contribu-
ton TO the field Of war inventions by
DIR. Robert J. James, well-known Sc
attic physician and surgeon.
The outstanding features of the new
eyeglasses, according, to the inventor,
are: They cannot be Jared loose from
their places even under the most severe
treatment, the tightening hold on the
nose, which Is injurious to ones health
and comfort, Is eliminated and gives
way to three natural points Of suspen-
sion, and the glasses may be removed
with one hand.
The glasses have two extensions at
either side Of the face slightly above
the eye. The small plate at the end of
the extensions holds the glasses firm
and does not rest on any vital nerve or
blood vessel, as. Is the case when the
only point of suspension Is at the nose.
