USUALLY ADDS MATERIALLY TO
THE YIELD SAYS PROF. T. e.
kEITT.
DRIED BLOOD IS EFFECTIVE
When Applying a Top Dresser Appli-
cation Should Be Made When
Blades Are Dry.

The topdrcssing Of small grain usu.
ally adds materially to the yield.
During these times when the in.
crease in production is so vtally i'm
portant the proper use OF nitrate Of
soda. sulphatc Of ammonia or dried
blood as a topderssing for grain
, should prove very effective. At pres.
ent prices the use of nitrate of soda
and sulphate OF ammonia should prove
most profitable, as they are consider.
ably cheaper per pound Of actual nj
trogcn than dried blood.
The addition Of topdressers to oats
has been particularly effective at the
| Coast Station: dried blood applied at
| the rate of 120 pounds per acre show
cd an average increase Of 24.6 bushels
| Of oats per acre when applied in addi-
tion to 600 pounds Of 8.4.4 fertilizer
per acre; sulphate Of ammonia at the
rate Of rs pounds per acre, $40 bush
els increase; and, nitrate OF soda a.
the rate of 100 pounds per acre show.
ed an average increase Of POT bushels
per acre.
At the Pee Dee Station the use OF
nitrate of soda as a topdresser for
oats that had been fertilized at plan
Ing time, applied early at the rate OF
| 100 pounds per acre has shown an
average increase &C 1875 bushels OF
oats per acre, q lat> application Of the
same amount OF Il ate Of soda show
ed an average incr "se Of 10 bushels
per acre: while 'ouble application
made at both tim showed all aver
age increase of % bushels per acre.
These results Indicate that an early
topdressing at the rate Of 100 pounds
of nitrate Of soda or its equivalent OF
sulphate of ammonia, IS pounds, or
the equivalent of dried blood, 120
pounds, will give most economical re.
suits.
The early applications arc made
about March 1st. When applying
topdresscr the application should be
made when the blades Of the plants
arc dry to prevent scalding.
Generally speaking. larger increases
are obtained from topdressers where
the grain has not been fertilzed.
Under this condition at the Coast Sta
tion 120 pounds Of dried blood showed
gain Of 3S.S bushels Of oats. rs
pounds Of sulphate Of ammonia $50
bushels, and 100 pounds Of nitrate OF
soda 1914 bushels. However, the total
yield is generally greater when fer
tiliZer is applied before planting and
later topdressing is used as indi-
Gated
The use of topdrcssers seems to be
more effective on light sandy soils
than on the heavier phases.

living with wife or hurband whose net in

the income tax man and learn whether or
not they have any tax to pay" Collector
Craig said today: THE person subject to
tax who doesn't make return in the time
prescribed, is going to regret it. The
Government will get after all income tax
shakers.
There's hardly a business man, mer-
chant or professional man who won't have
to make return OF income. Farmers, as
class, will have to pay the tax. The safe
thing to do is for every person who has
total income of $1,000 or $4,000, as the
case may be, and who is not sure about
what deductions the law allows him, to
play it safe by calling on the income tax
man."
"The man in the field will have forms
for every body and persons who expect to
call on him need not trouble themselves

ADVERTISING PAYS

Bradstreet's says that ''eighty-four per
cent of all failures are among non-adOer-
Users"
Which, considering the source Of the de-
claration, is pretty Conclusive proof that adj
Uertising pays.
When Bradstreet's says that only sixteen
Der cent of business failures are among dd-
uertisers the statement has real significance
No business firm eUer became truly great

BRITISH AND FRENCH
RAIDS ON BAVARIAN
CITIES INCREASING

New York, April 23.--Dritish and
French air, raids on Bavarian cities
are increasing steadily and the dam
age to property especially in the Pal
atinate is very extensive, say Ger
man newspapers.
This fact was brought to the atten-
ton OF the Eavarian chamber Of dep
uties by a sOcialistic Interpolation
asking: is the government aware
of the fact that the population OF Ba-
varia and especially OF Palatinate is
suffering great material losses as a
result OF the steadily increasing aer-
ial attacks? What does the govern
ment intend to do regarding the COM
pensation of those affected?
The socialists stated that hostile
aerial attacks. on a number OF cities
recently had increased greatly.
Minister of the Interior Won. Brett
reich said that the Palatinates had
suffered severely from the recent aer-
ial attacks, but for obvious reasons he
could not dwell on the extent and the
character of the damage. TIE Bavar-
ian government he said was willing to
grant compensations for damage to
caused by hostile filters.

Kidney Trouble Not
Easily Recognized
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one Of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview of the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for insurance as rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large major
fly Of those whose applications are de-
clined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch
with the public, there is one prepare
ton that has been very successful in
overcoming these conditions. The
mild and healing influence of DR.. Kill
mers Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its remarkable
record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compaund and we would
advise our readers who feel in need OF
such a remedy to give it trial. 1t Is
on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, il you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DR.. Kilmer & Co.! Binghamton, N.
Y, for sample bottle. When writing
be sure and mention the Bismarck
