NITRATE OF SODA
How to Use It to Get Best Results and
Avoid Waste.

A clover sod which has been heavily
manured when it was young IS the
best place to grow irish potatoes and
corn. Tere is nitrogen there in the
cheapest form. If you have to buy
and import Your nitrogen. nitrate Of
soda is the next cheapest form.
Always reinforce nitrate of soda with
acid phosphate or basic Stag. 1t re-
Quires about two pounds Of phosphate
to balance one pound of nitrate. Dor
corn use per acre about 200 pc ands OF
phosphate at planting time. When the
plants are several inches high, use 75
to 100 pounds Of nitrate of soda per
acre. sowing it broadcast by hand
like seed. Very poor land responds
best.
For irish potatoes, use per acre 300
to 400 pounds Of phosphate and 50 or
60 pounds of nitrate at planting time.
As soon AZ plants are up, scatter 100,
pounds more Of nitrate along the rows.
Harrow it in With section harrow or.
q shallow cultivator
DO not apply nitrate of soda when
leaves are vet with dew or rain.

J. W. Handy Died at His Home, Hanford
Washington, Wednesday.

Thursday morning telegram was re-
ceived by John Q. Burnett notifying
him that J. W. Handy had died We'd

Washington, as the outcome of a para
lytic stroke. The remains were buried
at Hanford with Masonic honors.
He had been failing in health for
some months, due to paralysis. Even
prelous OF that he had not been robust
for some years. He moved to Wash
lngton about eight or ten years ago.
He was 68 years of age. His death
will cause a pang of regret tn arse IN
the hearts of hundreds of people in
this section who loved and admired
him.
The deceased was member of the
Christian church and had been married
twice. His first wife died some Is or
70 years ago. he had seven children,
four sons and three daughters. Mrs.
Savannah Ford, lives in Grassy Cove;
two daughters Mrs. Frances Dorton

is in the army. Miss Alice Handy
belonged to the teaching force of this
county for some years before the fam
lily moved west and has been following
the same calling there.
"Black Bill" Handy, as he was
familiarly known by friends here, was
one of those sterling characters that
never shirked from duty. be 1T pleasant

Office Of sheriff in this county for three
terms, as long as the constitution of
of the state would permit, and would
very likely been elected for other
terms, but he declined to become a
candidate or consider the Office further.
Without question he made the bsst
sheriff this county has had in the men,
ory of the oldest citizens. When pa
pers were placed IN his hands to be
serve he knew neither friend or foe,
the duties of his office as
he understood them. He was man of
cool and keen judg ement had knack
Of discharIng those duties with little
offence even to the worst law violators.
Previous to his election and after
he followed the vocation of a farmer.
Even before his election as sheriff his
honesty and answering faithfulness to
]uty was 30 we'll known that few
questioned his actions.
Few men have ever lived in this
section who bad a wider circle of
friends, was more deserving of them
n enjoyed the Confidence of the people
than "Black Bill" Handy.
