FERTILIZER SHOULD
BE USED EVEN LATE

Weather and wartime conditions
have so delayed transportation that it
now seems certain that many cars of
fertilizer will reach their destination
after the time of planting the crop on
which it were to have been used
1t will not be wise to fail to use the
fertilizer. The farmer cannot afford to
tie up his money until another year,
and the country needs the increased
food which fertilizer will produce.
For corn, oats, and potatoes late
APPLICATIONS are entirely practical, and
may be used as late as three weeks
or month after planting with excel
lent results The fertilizer is simply
broadcast over the field. Cultivation
of corn and potatoes works it down
to the feeding roots of the plants.
With oats it acts in much the same
way as a top-dressing on wheat.

TRACTOR PLOUGHS
MAKE NEW RECORD

London, April 16-New English
records for tractor ploughing were
set in the annual spring tests at the
new government Tractor School OF
Instruction." at Mossley Hill. Two
types of light tractor plough of the
model adopted by the British govern
ment as most suitable for British re-
quirements, worked for twelve con-
secutive hours in the tests.
The ground was a light soil and
the tractors were required to pull
four-furrow ploughs the depth of the
furrow being six inches and the land
fairly level, but slightly rocky. The
work accomplished by the ploughs
averaged 11.75 acres each, and the
fuel consumption was 2.46 gallons
per acre. The engines were run
continuously for the allotted twelve
hours.

to completion.
The Uldell and Adams company
has already uncovered 5000 tons
and is still developing.
Another firm backed By Roseburg
people, located In the same gicini:y
claims to have 1000 tons OF chrome
ore. The Golconda and Esterly pro-
perties have $500 tons In sight and
low estimate OF the tonnage which
the California Chrome Co. has on the
dump on the lower Illinois river Is
1000. Other small properties are
estimated conservatively at 500
tons. making a total of 5000 tons
that is out and ready for shipment
or about $50 carloads.
While the profits on the ore itself
will largely go to outside parties,
there is profit OF about SIS ton
which results from the mining and
hauling which will remain In this
vicinity. This amounts in round
numbers to s135.O00, which will be
distributed from May ] to November
/. the mining and hauling season.
Another product which depends
upon the roads for bringing It's pro-
fit to this county is copper. II can
reasonably be expected that the pro-
perties in the Waldo country will
produce $500 tons or so cars this
year. At the mines are mostly
owned and operated by local capital,
It will bring about $40 a ton to the
county. This Will mean another
$500 added to the chrome profits,
makes a total Of 100000. II the
roads are placed in repair to enable
this to be hauled this way in order
that II may be shipped by rail, Jo-
sephine county will get practically
the entire benefit Of the amount. II
not, only a small part Of II will come
this way and Crescent City will get
the profits. the companies trusting
to luck on getting ships to send It to
Niagara and points in New Jersey
where It is put in shape to be used
in war work.
The matter has aroused the keen
est interest Of the Chamber OF Com
merce and men interested in seeing
the vast flood Of tonnage come this

chrome and copper, but these two
products alone are enough TO war
