Spreaders Much Needed in This
Cruntry

OF course, most Of the farmers in
this vicinity get a large percentage of
value out of their manure, but there
is still lot that is going to waste
either in the pile in the barnyard or
in piles on the field in the country
about here. Really none can afford
to waste any of it when it's worth
$3.50 a ton. according to the latest

Its USE AND
MISUSE
Summary Iowa Bulletin No. Z
Zone Of the best bulletins on the
subject)

l. Inc crops of Iowa remove vast
amounts of fertility from the soil
annually. Much of the fertility re-
moved is not sold off the farm but a
large percentage Of it remaining is
unnecessarily wasted.
= One of the most valuable assets
or the farm is the manure produced
upon 1t. 1t repr rsentS the fertility
which has been drawn from the soil
By crops and must be returned % il
II productivercsS is to be maintained
1t not only returns plant food but
renders the native plant food of the
soil more available. 1t adds humus
to the soil and improves its physical
condition, makes it warmer, and en-
ables it TO receive and retain more
moisture.
3. Manure should be hauled out
and spread upon the field at short in
tervals whenever practicable. When
thus handled, the losses of valuable
constituents need not be very great
but when the manure is stored for a
considerable time the difficulties Of
preservation are greatly increased
and losses are much more likely to
occur.
4. The rate of application of ma
nure must be determined by individ-
ual circumstances. AS a rule, it is
better to manure lightly and fire.
quently than to apply large amount
az long intervals. The effect of ma

ulative.
Time to Spread Manure is When
Fresh
The above extracts from the sum-
mary Of the bulletin point to the pro-
fit from the use Of a spreader. The
Iowa Station. as we'll as the rest Of
experiment stations. will tell you that
the time to haul our manure and
spread it is when it is fresh. Manure
is never so valuable as then. Com
posting or rotting Is not necessary
for general farm practice. In fact. it
is detrimental. Too much plant food
is liberated and as the plants can
not use it fast enough, there is much
lest
With spreader the handling can
be done with the least amount of loss.
By saving labor, spreading can be
frequent. If the manure dries out, it
stops fermenting. If it is rained
upon. it is leached into the soil where
it belongs. Then. too. the spreader
makes the manure go practically
twice as far by spreading more even
ly.

 A possibility is that the Germans are attempting to slave eff an allied counter blow, attacking rather than stand still. and be attacked, on this their most exposed front.
 Americans Joyful.
 On the remainder of the front the situation is virtually unchanged. American troops in France have greet ed with joy news that they are to be given part in the great battle.
 Further notable advances have been scored by British forces in Mesopotam- ia and in Palestine. In the latter war theatre, they have destroyed several miles of the important Betjaz road, east of the Jordan, cutting off the Turks from communication with Arabia and other forces southeast of the Dead sea.

ASSESSOR RUCKER
 SEEKS REELECTION

Fred T. Fucker is a candidate for
 reelection as assessor of Jefferson
 county, subject to the action of the
 Democratic voters in the primary on
 May ES. He makes announcement of
 his candidacy in this issue of The
 Graphic. and has already conferred
 with a number of friends, who have
 urged him to again apply for the
 place, which, they say, he has filled so
 acceptably
 When persuaded by his friends to
 become candidate for assessor, the first public office he ever applied for, MT. Fucker was connected with the ld-established firm of w. L. Dewoody & company as boOkkeeper. His friends contended at that time that his trc in ing had fitted him for the duties of assessor. and now they point to his record as vindidating their judgment, and to the same record as offering the best reason why he should be contin- ued in the assessors office
 The power of the assessor is great, bit it is said for Mir. Fucker that he has used it only for the good of the public, and has never attempted to misuse his authority. In making as sessments. he has sought to place a flair valuation on property-taking into consideration the aim to have all property in the state assessed for tax atiOn 0 nequitable basis. and local con diticns affecting valuations.
 Since he has been in office, the township board of assessors law has been adopted. He worked with these boards last year. and while there was
 an increase in the assessed valuation
 of the county the increases provoked but few complaints. This proves, MT. Fuckers supporters say, that he eX- iere'ses good judgment, and strives to
 be absolutely impartial. AS he pos
 sesses also the ability to handle the duties of the office himself, MT. Ruck- CTS friends hold that the Democrats would exercise good judgment by re- taining him, an experienced and com petent man, in the assessors office.

 One of the most direct benefits rom daylight saving will be the great conservation of illuminants.

The amount saved by gas or electric illum- mating plants will serve materially to nelp avert recurrence of last win < ter,s coal shortage.

Fighting Slow on British Front.

With the British Army in France, March 30.-The wheels of the war mill continued to turn slowly on the Brit ish battle front today, altho there are many indications that intense speed ing up may come at any moment. Just south of the Scarpe, near Arras, the enemy late this forenoon began a bombardment, which might easily pressage another assault on that city, but there has been no infantry action. Further south, on the British right, there was hard local fighting about Mezieres and Demuin, which was a continuance of yesterdays struggle. But the most important action seemed to be taking place on the French left where it was reported the Germans were pushing their furous attacks. On the rest of the battle front compala- tive inactivity continued, so far as in fantry fighting was concerned.
