There are several ways in which you
might use the manure secured from
camps. If you are so situated that you
can Immediately scatter it on land and
pillow it under. this is by far the best
practice to follow, as there will be less
loss of fertilizing constituents through
the pursuit of this policy than any 9th
er plan of action you can follow. The
next best plan is to pile the manure in
fields that are to be seeded next spring.
Rather large piles are preferable to
small piles. A situation should be Sc
lected where the ground is hard and
compact and where the drainage waters
may be retained rather than disturbed
Keep the pile tightly compact, and il
the season should be dry, wet down SUI
ficiently with a hose to prevent an oc-
currence of firefang. When this occurs
the nitrogen in the manure is practical
" all dissipated into the air and the
fertilizing value greatly reduced there
by. Composts, of course, can be made
in which the leaves, the little from the
fields and other trash about the farm
can be used to perform an important
service. Through a compost heap,
trash OF this kind can be broken down
satisfactorily. In making a compost
heap. we advise the use of at least 500
pounds Of acid phosphate with each ton
Of manure. The manure and compost
should be put down in layers and then
compacted and kept well wet down. AS
previously pointed out, the cheapest
way of handling this manure is to pillow
il under Immediately and then put the
acid phosphate down under the drill
row at the time of planting the crop.

The question of selling cotton locally
or shipping to South Carolina depends
entirely on the price you are offered
locally or at the point of destination.
You will have to be the judge as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of making shipment,
therefore. Unless you are satisfied you
can obtain a good profit, we would not
advise shipment for the reason that
transportation is now somewhat con-
gested, hence subject to considerable
delays. Cash in hand at point of ship
ment under existing conditions is, from
our point of view, preferable to any
other method of handling crops at this
time. AS has already been pointed out,
there is a good deal of congestion in
transportation. The government has
asked, therefore, that our people aid It
as much as possible by holding back to
some extent in the movement of their
crops Any service you can render the
government in this respect will be APP
preciated. This is only a request, how
ever. and not mandatory order. 1t
is not an order or request, in so far IS
lint cotton is concerned, which emanateS
from the food administration. | would
like to make IL clear in this connection
that a producer of any commodity may
hold the same for any reasonable length
of time and sell at his discretion and
pleasure. No law has been enforced
which requires a farmer to sell his lint
cotton, his seed cotton, peanuts, live
stock or anything else he has produced
except at his own discretion and pleas
ure.
There may be times when the govern
ment will call on the producers of food
to let them come forward to the mar

sailors and our fighting allies. 1t has
very rarely happened during the pc
riod of the war, however, that any re-
QUESTION has been made on a producer.

German in their sympathies and who

Antagonistie to State.
Governor Allen and the receivers
are encountering the most bitter and
anita gonistic opposition from business
men-eyen the clergy-in the mining
district. Recently it was reported
that but two Pittsburg men had called
on the governor. Both came to the
hotel to see Governor Allen at the
governors personal request.
Sunday several ministers in the field
took slaps at the action of the state
in seeking to relieve suffering as a
result of the coal strike. One Pitts
burg minister is said to have told his
congregation that he understood the
seat of state government had been
moved to Pittsburg and that deserted
street in Topeka indicated the truth of
the report The minister didn't men
ton, tho, that deserted streets in To-
peka and other cities was due to the
attempt of the coal strikers to force
acceptance of Demands thru the suf-
fering and distress of innocent men,
women and children and the closing
of industries.
In spite of the opposition the gov
ernor is pushing coal production in the
field. Today. every man reported for
work despite the fact that zero wealth
er prevailed, During such conditions
strip mine workers who carry union
cards walked out under the strike or
der. stay indoors. But the Kansas
volunteers were. out fighting for coal.
Goverasr Alien has been given $50
cars of steam coal in southern Kansas
The coal can be used, only in blast fur
naces; Arrangements are now being
made for distribution of the Goals 10
cars from Deering and 10 cars from

been routed to Topeka. The Beatrice

C. OPP. IN SESSION
Republicans Gather In Wash
iEgtOn to Plan for 1920.
Candidates and Issues for Next
Year Chief Topic of Gossip.

Washington, Dec. 9.-With most of
the national leaders of the Republican
party already assembled here and 9TH
ers arriving on every train, Washing
ton was alive today with gossip over
candidates and issues for the COM
paign of 1920.
The gathering was incidental to the
meeting of the national committee,
which cenvenes tomorrow to select the
place and time of the national con-
vention next summer. The fight for
the convention was between Chicago
and St Louis, but it attracted only
passing, attention, compared to the &C
tivities of the friends of presidential
possibilities and the conferences over
questions of party policy.
F'rieds of every Republican prom
inently mentioned for the presi-
dental nomination were busy, the
managers for Gen. Leonard Wood and
among the first to get working or
ganization under way Ohio sent a
delegation to further the interests of
Senator Warren G. Harding of that
state, and the supporters. of Senator
Miles Peindexter. of Washington, and
Senator Hiram w. johnson, of Cali
fornia, also were at work among those
who had gathered for the meeting.
What was regarded in many quar-
ters as the formal launching of a boom
toT senator James Ii. watson Oh IN
diana also was the subject of much
talk among the committeeman and
their guests.
Senator Watson has announced he
was not a candidate for the presi-
dency, but would be in the race to
succeed himself as senator. His friends
assert, however, that the Indiana
state convention will instruct its del
egates for him and that an active
campaign in his behalf will be made
in many other states
