| PARADE AND SPEAK.
 ING OPENS LOAN DRIVE
Prescott and Nevada County Join in Mammoth Celebration Which Marks Opening of Lib erty Loan Drive.

Nothing could prove the general patriotic spirit which is spreading over Nevada county more than the big crowd from all parts of the coun- ty which gathered here Saturday to celebrate the opening of the campaign for the third Liberty Loan of $3,OOO,- 000,00O. Although the impossible condition of the roads, caused by the heavy rains on Friday, kept hundreds from participating who lived in the rural districts, about 5000 people thronged the streets and many took part in the parade, but all gathered at the west side of the court house and heard speeches by Thomas c. McRae, county chairman; Lieutenant R. H. Parker of Camp Pike, Judge Jacob M. Carter of Texarkana, and Hartwell rGeeson, one of our hoys who is in training at Great Lakes. A splendid recitation was also given by Miss Elva Bush. Appropriate music was furnished by the Prescott Con cert Band
 At 1 o'clock sharp every business house and every mill and factory closed down so that all employees could take part in the parade and listen to the speaking. The parade formed or West Main street headed by the band and followed by soldiers and sailors of the county, Boy Scouts, large truck with ladies dressed as Red Cross workers and hundreds of civilians walking and in automobiles and the Prescott Volunteer Fire De- partment in their new motor fire truck which carried Liberty Loan ad- vertising. The parade marched down West Main to East Front, thence to East Main and terminated at the court house where the speaking was held. One of the features of the day was the stunt pulled off bv the fire boys. At nine o'clock the big truck was called out by the incessor4 Now ing of the fire whistle as well as every other whistle in the city and all the bbells; when curious persons called central to ask about the excitement they were greeted with, Buy Lib erty Bond"

 Although Nevada county did not get flag Saturday for exceeding her quota of $110.250, the indications are. that we will exceed the mark today or tomorrow. $S5 GOO worth of bonds were sold in the county Saturday and reported to the county chairman and there are many other communities un- heard from which probably made good sales Saturday.

PETITIONS RENEW ATTACK
 ON THE OISE FRONT

London, April There was no re- ,rrntion Sunday of the heavy fight irp along the British front. The Ger nsns according to the report from Field Marshal Haig's headquarters tonight, started two attacks at Buc- quoy, but were repelled.
 The report says:
 Successful minor operations un- dertaken by us this morning south of the somme led to sharp local fighting. The enemy counter attacked strongly in an attempt to regain his former po- sitions, and suffered heavy losses. The number of German prisoners talk q, has increased to more than 40; several machine guns also were cap tured.
 This mornlng the enemy made two attempts to deliver attacks against our position at Bucquoy, but in each case his troops were stopped and dis persed by our artillery fire.
 "0n the remainder of the battle front the day passed more quietly"
 The second phase of the great bat tie along the Somme, which the Ger mans began on Thursday last, has died down. It lasted less than three days, and the fighting has resolved itself into more or less isolated en- gagements, in which the French and British allies have more than held their own.
 The attention of the Germans for the present is mainly directed at the lower end of the battle zone. which apparently they are attempting to enlarge for the purpose of getting elbow room in which to move their vast masses of troops.

Cedar Forest at Great Height.

In his book, ''The Real Algeria quot
ed in the Christian Science Monitor,
M. D. Scott describes his journey
through cedar forest. "The program
was to cross the mountains through a
fine forest of cedars by the Col de
Telmet, at an altitude of 5000 feet"
Mr.. Scott says. 81 came across most
curious piece of hillside. Bare rock
as steep and smooth as house roof
ran straight from the hilltop to the
bottom of the valley with a strike of
some 80 degrees. It shone like burn
ished silver in the bright sun. Never
have I seen anything of the kind so
beautiful. In various crevices were
perched cedar trees, sometimes with
q rest so tiny that miracle alone
held them apparently from sliding
down the chute"

tiIizer and Increase the
Yield.

The bureau Of crop estimates Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture reports an increase of four per
cent in the acreage OF fall-sOwn wheat,
as compared with that SOWn in the fall
of 1916 This would be highly en-
cOuraging, were it not for the fact
that much of this is in poor condition,
is in fact ten per cent under the aver
age condition of the last ten years. I'M
less the coming spring is remarkably
favorable for the development of win
ter wheat, the 1913 crop will be even
smaller than that of 1917.
We have but one more chance for
increasing our 1913 grain crop,
and this is by tOp-dreSSing either with
fertilizer or with manure. In the lat
ter case the work may be done at once,
the manure being spread thinly and
evenly, preferably with the manure
Spreader Manure so used protects
the wheat from winter injury, and at
the same time stimulates growth in
the cold weather of early spring. Every
day gained at this season is just so
much crop insurance.
When fertilizer is used it must be
applied just as growth starts in the
early spring. It is then that available
plant food is most needed, and when
it is most efficient in causing the
plant to "tiller out" and increase the
number of seed-bearing stems. Ferti-
lizer used at this time may change

certain to give results when the wheat

FOOD PRODUCTION ENDANGERED
BY FREIGHT EMBARGoES.

During the last weeks of December,
1917, absolute embargoes were placed
on rail shipments of phosphate rock
from Florida. This fact was widely
reported in the daily press, yet few
people realized its true significance. If
the embargo continues it will force the
closing of many fertilizer factories all
over the United States, and will render
Impossible maximum production of
food crops so badly needed in these
times of war. An embargo of this kind,
necessary though it be, vitality affects
the handspring of our national welfare.
The first big effect of such an en-
barge is to cause the closing of all de-
partments of many fertilizer plants.
However, the big effect of this en-
barge on rock phosphate movement is
on the farm itself, where fer
tilizer is needed for the work of food
production. Labor is short, greater
production can only be secured through
higher acre yields produced by using
what labor we have on land so ferti-
liked as to make it productive In this
light, then, q continued embargo on
rock phosphate, however necessary it
may be from the transportation view
point is a great national calamity. It
affects both our agricultural produc-
ton and the ability of our country
to win the war speedily and certainly.

MAKING MANURE
NJ Re valuable
Manure Ref enforced With Fer
tiIizer Gives Largest
Yields.

With the prospect of Il decided
shortage of plant food supplies stable
manure takes on Increased Importance
in crop production. It has not yet
reached the point where it is worth
from sc to $40 per ton, as some would
have us believe, but it is certainly
worth enough TO Justify better care
and attention than it has been get
ting
So much has been written about the
saving of manure, but so much yet
remains to be done by the farmer that
we are led to believe the recommends
lions have been too complicated TO
follow, or else that the gain has not
been worth the price. There are, how
ever, three things which may easily be
done by any farmer, to increase the
crop producing value of stable manure
on his farm from 80 to 100 per cent,
and these without any material in
crease either in labor or capital.
The Canadian field reports find ton
of fresh manure little more valuable
than ton of rotted manure (made
from two tons of fresh manure).
Therefore, we get twice as much value
from manure when we haul it direct
to the field, instead of throwing it into
q barnyard to rot.
The PENNSYLVANIA agricultural eX-
pertinent station found that manure
spread at the rate of six tons per acre
returns $500 per ton in crop increase,
while when spread at the rate of ten
tons per acre it returns only 1929 per
ton.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1918-01-18
Reinforce With Fertilizer.

Manure is weak in the element
phosphorus, and benefits immensely
from the addition of phosphoric acid.
BY adding about One-half a sack OF
acid phosphate to each ton of manure,
the Ohio experiment station increased
the crop producing value of a ton
of manure at least so per cent.
The plant food in ordinary manure
is only about three-ffths as effective as
the plant food of commercial fertilizer.
For this reason manure should always
be supplemented with available fertii-
izer so that crops may be given quick
start in the early spring.
BY handling manure as 1t should be
neutrality-suspicious. with available
fertilizer and reinforcing it with acid
phosphate-we will be able to make
our present supply of fertilizer and
manure more effective in the produc-
ton of food crops.
