The term "Boche," now so commonly appearing in American newspaper dis patches as a familiar designation of the Germans, is shown to have originated be- fore the war in Paris The German assist ants of Paris printers were so designated. The term "Boche" was probably also used in the Franco-Prussian war in 1870, for Zola, in his novel, 'La Debacle," put the term in the mouths of French soldiers to designate Germans The term Zee boche" was used, before the Franco-Prussian war, at least, as equivalent to "that chump."

The matter of fcrreting out spies and disloyal residents is gaining momentum every day throughout the United States and, in many instances, harsh treatment is being meted. The only trouble is that the treatment has not been sufficient for the offcnsc and it is encouraging to note that 1t is being increased in severity. From now on those not in sympathy with the country in which they live will, as never before, re- alizc the sublime truth of the old adage, Silence is Golden"

experiments with farmers in several
counties.
On the county farm in Kent last
year, acid phosphate on soils result
ed in an increase of 60 bushels to the
acre in potatoes. An increase of 40
bushels to the acrt over the yield on
the adjacent untreated sandy loan
was obtained on the county farm in
Van Buren, by similar treatments. In
Van Buren, county 400 pounds of acid
phosphate was applied in one case,
and 1000 pounds of raw rock phos-
phate in another. The results were
equally good in both.
In Lenawee county the yield of rye
was increased from 1863 bushels to
21.5 bushels by the addition of 200
pounds of acid phosphate per acre to
sandy soils in cooperative expert
ments on the farm of A. M. Green,
while County Agent Blandford in
Newaygo county has increased the
yield of wheat from eight to twenty
FIVE bushels by applying 200 pounds
of acid phosphate per acre to light
soils.
We have been selling phosphate
from our farms for years, and return
ing it to the soil now is sound prac-
tice. Phosphates are not soil stim-
ulant and their use will not result
after few years in decreased yields.
The soils department of the college
recommends the application of 200
pounds per acre of from 16 to 18 per
cent acid phosphate in four-year
rotation. The small grains are es-
pecially benefited. Where rock phos-
phate is to be used 1900 pounds per
acre in a four-year rotation is advis-
able. 1t is conceded that it is best,
where possible, to use the latter in
conjunction with stable manure or
crop residues.
In using acid phosphate, two-thirds
of the cost of application should be
charged to the first crop, and the re-
mainder to the crops that follow.

Parable of the Catalogue of Flowers
Now there came to Keturah a
Woman's Magazine. And it ,cometh
once in Every Month. And the leaves
of the Magazine bear Twelve Manner
of Advertisements, one for every
Month.
And it came to pass that while the
snow was deep upon the ground, be-
hold she was reading advertisements
of Flowers and Seeds. And there
was one Advertisement which said:
Send to. us a Dime and we will send
to thee Six Packages of Seed, and a
Wondrous Catalogue, and Book that
telleth thee All About the Garden.
And Keturah sent the dime.
And when the Catalogue came, be-
hold it was covered on the inside and
the outside with Flowers of Wondrous
Beauty. And it told of many kinds
of Flowers, yea, and of Vegetables
that may be grown in the Back Yard
and reduce the High Cost of Living.
And there was Coupon that said,
Buy from US the value of Dollar,
and this Coupon shall be as it were
Twenty Five Cents of the Same.
And Keturah did that also.
And / said, Behold the ground is
white with Snow, and deeply Frozen
underneath it.
And she said, Yea, / know the
ground is white with Snow, and there
is deep Frost underneath it. But the
Seed Catalogue is Sign of Spring.
Yea, and Spring beginneth in mine
own heart when l begin to plan for
the Garden.
And / considered the Hollyhocks
that / had planted, and which lay
deep under the snow. And wonder
ed how it Jared with them, and
whether there were Any New Kinds.
And / said, Behold, there be many
weary weeks before the Spring shall
come, but l will send a Dollar with
that of Keturah, and 1 will plant
Hollyhocks in mine heart this day.
So l will not wait till Spring to
possess mine Hollyhocks; for behold
they are mine already; those in the
Seed Catalogue, and those that be
under the Snow.

MICHIGAN SOILS
NEED PHOSPHORUS
Study of Conditions in State, Proves
4 Wisdom of Using Phosphate
" For Fertilizers

Most Michigan soils are deficient in
phosphorus, the plant food so neces-
sary for the successful growing of
wheat, the soils department of the
Michigan Agricultural college has
learned through a study of conditions
in several counties. Demonstrations
conducted on many farms in connec-
ton with this work, the department
reports, have proved that the supply
ing of this element in the shape of
acid phosphate and raw rock phos-
phate fertilizers gives good returns
Tor the money expended.
In trip through the eastern, CEN
trail and western Michigan inspection
revealed the fact that heads of wheat
on many fields are only about half as
we'll filled as they should be, indicat-
ing deficiency of phosphorus in the
soil. The correctness of these obser-
vations has been additionally borne
ont by the chemical analysis of rep
3esentative soil types in Cass, st.
Joseph, Lenawee, Wayne, Ingham, AL
Logan, Manistee, Wexford, and New
aygo counties. The results have shown
that soils in all of these districts lack
the necessary amount of phosphorus.
But to remove all doubt, actual
tests have been conducted in the field
Remarkable returns from the appli-
cation of phosphates have been secur-
ed by the soils department of the
colleges, by means of field culture ex-
periments on Cass and Van Buren,
county farms, as we'll as on the col
lege farm, and through cooperative

Paper Paid For

One hundred and seventy-fve sub
scribers of the Banner paid for their
paper during the months of January
and February. That was fine. Thank
you. And all of them came across
with the $1.50 per year without the
old worn out Statement" calling at
tention to the fact that the particular
account was past due. The yellow
label gives that information every
week. 1t is pasted on the top of this
very paper and tells just how your ac-
count with the Banner stands.
Now there are others who have not
paid, and it is to them this notice is
especially intended. If the yellow
label gives the date as March, 1918
or previous to that, you are in arrears
and we need the money. Paper costs
100 per cent MORE than it did year
and a half ago. Banner subscription
money must be turned to pay for it.
DO NOT, please, wait for the custom
airy Statement" it is not necessary.
Everybody is busy enough these days
keeping business in harmony with
government demands, and if this
country is going over the top as it
should, every little special effort
helps.
For the newspaper, paid in advance
subscription accounts are one of the
lifts that need prompt attention. Send
in your checks, money orders, cur
rency, yes silver and gold, now. We
are not particular as long as it is
cash. You will get your proper
credit. The date on your paper will
give you that notice within a week
after the money is received.
