A side application of fertilizers to the growing crops as supplement to a first application made at seeding time, is widely practiced by farmers of the south.
 In developing this practice the farmers seem to have been actuated by several motives. They may be enumerated as follows:
 l. To have a sufficient supply of read fly available plant food present when the plant is passing through it's heaviest feed ing period and getting it's fruit.
 2. To overcome backwardness or sea sonal difficulties that threaten to reduce yields under favoring weather conditions.
 8. To push up the crops to their maxi mum yields under favoring weather con- ditions
 A. To push up yields to the maximum under favorable market prospects.
 Generous side applications of fertilizers are made of course, when for any reason the farmer was not able to get fertilizers for the first application at seeding time.
 Aside from the reasons given, there are particular reasons for making side appli- cations of fertilizer this year.
 Q) Side applications should be made to get maximum yields per acre in l9l9, because of the greater than normal ex- pense of making the crop, which added expense cannot be overcome except Dy increasing the crop yields. Increased yields mean decreased cost of producing bushel or pound of crop, which means greater profit to the farmer.
 (2) Side applications of fertilizers should be made in 1919 to force maximum crop yields because of the lateness or the season. and because of the influence that fertilizers have upon hastening the growth and maturity of the plants.
 The high cost of growing crop this year attaches to everything connected with it. Labor, of course. is the heaviest cost charge against a crop at, all times. Therefore, whenever labor increases the margin of profit will be quickly and easily wiped out unless there are means for offsetting it. It can be offset by in creasing the acre yields, and acre yields can be increased materially only by ap- plcatons of fertilizers.
 SURVEY OF TONNAGE
 Tn word, profits in growing crops this year depend very much upon overcoming the increased cost of crop production with fertilizers Fertilizers will not only take care of their increased cost, but tfey are able to overcome, to marked extent. other items of increased cost.
 Large yields per acre mean greater profit in time of prosperity, and less loss in diversity. Fertilizers as means of large yields, are, therefore, profit boost CTS when the selling price of crops is high. and profit savers when the bottom falls out.
 The experience of farmers who have been making side applications of fertiliz- CTS to supplement the first application at planting time, is we'll worth consideration.

FERTILIZING GROWING CROPS

especially when such farmers are raising a bale or more of cotton per acre and other crops in proportion.

MICH POULTRY BADLY BLED

At least 30 per cent of all the poultry reaching the large markets is incomplete ly bled. Much of it is so badly bled that it results in a loss of from to cents pound. Keeping properties of such fowls are inferior. The flesh loses it's frmness sooner it's flavor is not so good; the odor of stale flesh and finally of putrefaction come earlier, and in every way the product is more perishable.
 When the feathers are removed by scalding, the bird is killed by bleeding alone. hence the incisions to sever the veins are the only ones attempted, and if the attempt fails bad bleeding vii

DISADVANTAGES MENTIONED

The packing of damp soil and the diff f1culty of efficient operation are the chief disadvantages entioned by tractor users. Where early spring work is necessary, the packing of the soil, especially heavy soil, is a serious objection.
 The fact that a tractor demands a cer-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-05-22

tractor may be either a profitable or an unprofitable investment. Each farm has it's own peculiarities; and a farmer must weigh the advantages and disad- yantages carefully before buying a trac- tor He should study the experiences of those who have used tractors in farm work, paying particular attention to those whose farms conform most nearly to his own in size and system of cropping. This is advice from the United States Department of Agriculture.
 On an average, one farm in 30 in the United States now uses a tractor. It has been estimated by manufacturers that over 3O0OO0 tractors will be made this year. It behooves every farmer contem-? :? plating buying one to study his farm problems from every angle.
 ADVANTAGE IN USING, TRACTOR
 The advantage of a tractor lies not so much in the reduction in the cost of doing a piece of work as in being able to do it in less time. Thus the number of acres farmed can be increased and the work done quickly. Often the saving of time is the important factor in making a profit on the crop grown.
 tractor can be kept on the job in hot weather when horses are at a disadvan- tage. It can do heavy work and do it rapidly, thus covering the desired acreage in the proper season. It saves man labor, thus enabling the farm to be worked with less hired help. It sometimes decreases the number of horses needed, thus saving both investment in horses and the ex- pense of their feed.
 The tractor owner can increase his in- come somewhat by doing custom work of his neighbors; but this is often doubtful practice. Outside work must be done at time when it will not in- terfere with the necessary work on his own place or he will lose more by neglect than he makes by the custom work.

PULLMAN HIGH WINS
BY A CLOSE SCORE
Defeats Charleston 6 to = ON Snow
Covered Field in Very Ragged
Game

Playing on a field covered with
snow and in a temperature which
made the teeth of the spectators
chatter, the Pullman and Charleston
high school teams staged close but
ragged contest last Friday afternoon.
The field was too slippery and the
weather too cold for good playing,
and the quarters were cut to 10 min
utes on account of the weather con-
ditions.
Receiving the ball on the kickoff
Pullman carried it steadily up the
field on line plunges by Joe Hays
and end runs by Bradbury, Carson
and Cannon. The Charleston line
held on the 10-yard line and the ball
was at once punted out of danger
Pullman started another march up
the field and Bradbury carried the
pigskin over for a touchdown after
long end run. Crow failed to kick
goal. The ball was in Charleston 9
territory nearly all of the first half.
In the second half the visitors
came back strong and the ball see-
sawed back and forth in the middle
OF the field. Both teams would make
yardage several times and then lose

slip and fall with no tackler near.

back, was a consistent gamer on both
line smashes and end runs and made
most of the yardage for his team.
A few moments before the end of
the game, Bradbury, who was play
ing safety for Pullman, fumbled a
punt on Pullman's three yard line.
He recovered the ball but was
thrown for no gain. On the next
play Grow passed the ball back for
a punt. The pass was low and be-
fore Bradbury picked up the ball
half a dozen Charleston tacklers were
on top of him. He managed to
suuirm in front of the goal line just
as the final whistle sounded, but
Referee Dick Hanley allowed Clarks-

decision was disputed by Umpire Roy

WEIGH COUGARS Off
FOR OREGON GAME
Switch in BaCkfield Made Necessary
by Hanley's niuries--Skadan
Slated for Quarter--Capt.
Hauley Out

Coach Gustavius A. WEIGH and
Athletic Director j. Fred Boiler,
with squad of % Cougar" foot
ball men, boarded the train last
evening for Portland, where on Sat
urday afternoon, they will meet the
University of Oregon team in what
IS expected to prove one of the hard
est games of the season. According
to announcement made by Coach
WEIGH, injuries TO Captain Hanley
will probably make necessary
switch in the state College back
field. Skadan, who proved his met
tie in the Idaho game Saturday, is
slated for the quarterback berth,
while ellis will be back at fullback,
and Moran and Jenne at the half
back positions. The combination
will give the Cougars set of fast,
shifty and heady backfield men, with
an able toe artist and open field run
ner in JENNIE. an excellent field gen
eral in Skadan, and pair Of fight
ing, plunging yard gamers in ellis
and Moran. Captain Hanley will not
make the trip.
The line will be identical with
that which started the California
game two weeks ago, said by many
followers Of the game to be tbs yest
line that ever represented the State
College. Brooks and Roy Hanley
will take care of the end positions,
with Hamilton and Herreid at the
tackle berths, c. King and Ellwart
at guard and Dunlap at center.
The State College Cougars are go
ing to Portland with the expectation
of going into one of their hardest
games of the year, as the Oregon
eleven is the only other conference
team that has not already met with
defeat. In her two conference games
so far this year, Oregon has decisive
ly defeated the University of Idaho

gins
