is YOUR GLOVER SICK"


Various explanations are Offered
for the peculiar soil conditions known
as "clover sickness" or the failure Of
soil to grow clover successfully. 1t is
true, of course, that various factors
sutt as adverse seasonal conditions,
Insects ana fungous diseases, may con-
tl.nute to his result but in most
cases in Missouri it is due simply to a
condition of the soil which ca he read
i,y temedicd by the judicious appli-
CptH n of Inc and phosphate. The
character of the growth of clover US
ually furnishes very good means of
determining where lime is needed,
says B. w. Tillman of the University
of Missouri College of Agriculture.
When the clover plants, after taking
root in the spring, are found later in
the season to be making no growth,
and finally disappearing in patches
of altogether, then the need of lime is
indicated. Such soils are usually
found to give an acid reaction to the
litimus paper test. This condition
can be completely changed by Dress
ing of ground limestone.
Many Missouri soils are also too
low in phosphorus to give best re-
suits with clover. Phosphorus should
be purchased in commercial fertilizer.
The best source of phosphorus under
present prices is acid phosphate. The
remedy for "clover Sickness" there
fore is to keep your soil well supplied
with lime and phosphate. The soils
department of the University of Mis-
souri, is prepared to assist farmers of
the state in solving this problem.

AMERICAS PLEDGE

The inter-allied council sat last sum-
mer planning those measures which
meant victory for the cause of free
dom. Food was vital factor.
The United States of America by
its representatives gave them this as
surance:
Determine what you must have and
how much the ships can carry.
That will be your quota drought the
coming year. You need not consider
how much America has more or less.
We will send it; we have it or we win
find it.
America which shipped last year 14O
million bushels of wheat hwere sur
plus of only ten million could be rec
koned, has given its pledge. The AL
lies believe us. 8hey trust US as they
trust the American soldiers. They
have faith in the endurance of the Am
erican people for self-dcnial, as they
have faith in the courage of the Am
erican army in reserve or in battle.
America will not fail.

REPORTING AN ELECTION

Newspapers and news gathering as.
sociations are confronted by the fact
that, in spite of increased facilities OF
communication, it is becoming more
and more difficult to give the, reading
public early reports of the results OF
general elections in this country.
1t was several days after the gen.
eral election this year before it could
be stated with definiteness which party
would control the next Congress, and
everyone is familiar with the uncer-
tainty that existed for days after the
last presidential election in 1916.
The New York World, in discussing
the difficulty experienced in the last
election in getting final returns, finds
sufficient reason for this situation and
expresses the belief that in future, ex-
cept under unusual circumstances, the
newspapers will not be able to an
nounce the results the morning after
general elections are held, as they
have done in the past.
The views of the World on this sub
ject, which is of interest to all news
paper men, are as follows:
"As in 1916, the morning after cleo
ton the general result remained SO
doubtful as to leave room for both
Democrats and Republicans to raise
the cry of victory. Partial returns
from many congressional districts only
opened the way for confusion of judg-
ment. On each side the lack of actual
figures kept alive partisan hopes.
at may still require several days to
reach an accurate conclusion as re-
CARDS certain States. So heavy have
become the demands made upon it that
