TWO CHANCES TO IN
CREASE THE WHEAT CROP
Growers May Have Both Profits as
Well as One.

Many wheat growers are overlooking
two chances of increasing their wheat
crop after it is planted and thereby
getting larger acre yields and bigger
profits. This extra yield and profit Is
secured by top-dressing the wheat
early In the spring with available
plantfood, preferably In the form Of
an ammOniated phosphate fertilizer.
This Is a fertilizer carrying ammonia
and available phosphoric acid that
gives the young wheat plants, weak
ened by the winter, a sturdy start and
furnishes plantfood to make the extra
gain. When barnyard manure is used
it had best be applied as a thin, even
covering or topdressing early In the
winter. Whenever possible use the
N ~spreader for this work, as
hand dressing Is not satisfactory be-
cause 1t leaves the manure lumpy and
uneven.
Fertilizer applied early in the spring
increases the crop yield in two ways,
first. by making the stalks and heads
already started grow larger and by
increasing the tillering or stooling.
Every extra "tiller" means an extra
head. Only n few extra "tillers'' to a
plant means several more bushels to
the acre. If the wheat is top-dressed
late in the spring, that Is after 1t has
made a good start, it will not 'tiller,"
hence the only chance to increase the
yield is by lengthening stalks and
heads, but by fertilizing early the
chances Of increasing yields are
doubled.
For spring tOp-dressing, the broad
caster is better than the fertilizer
drill. 1t covers the ground more rap
idly and the inconvenience of keeping
the drill disks or hoes out of the
ground, or of removing them, is
avoided. The ordinary fertilizer drills
can, however, be satisfactorily used
for top-dressing If care is taken to
fasten up the hoes or disks away from
the ground, or to remove them.

WELL-FED WHEAT PLANTS
RESIST INSECT ATTACK

Mr.. V. v. Clark, county agricultural
agent of Marshall county, Indiana, has
made some extended demonstrations
on the use of commercial fertilizer
combined with n good seeded for
wheat as a preventative measure
against the attack Of Hessian fly and
Joint worm. He considers the use of
proper tillage and proper fertilizers
the best method available for counter
acting the attack of these wheat pests.
Mr.. Clark says that his observation is
that the well-fed plant is more resist
ant to attacks by both insects and dis
eases. Mr.. Clark recommends ammoni-
ated fertilizers for use on wheat be-
cause it Is desirable to have ammonia
to force the growth of wheat so that
1t will be better able to withstand win
ter conditions.

Americas vast army OF commercial

will continue to spread the war-taught
spirit of thrift. An urgent request has
been sent this great organization 20
Join the national thrift campaign for
extending the sale of War Savings and
Thrift Stamps.
The Savings Division OF the Treas
ury Department has taken the initial
step toward enlisting the members Of
this big organization. In a letter to
the head Of the commercial travellers.
the division urged them to continue
their valuable services which during
the war proved an efficient means or
dispelling enemy propaganda. assist
ing the sale OF Liberty Bonds and aid
ing In food conservation.
In part the request Of the Savings
Division stated:
''To give permanent value to one OF
the great lessons which the war taught
us, the Treasury Department Is con-
Quoting a campaign to make thrift a
universal element in American life. In
this work, the object is TO better the
financial condition of the American
people. This object is to be reached
by teaching the people:
ITO put aside. as their first OBJ
legation and before they spend at all,
part of their income for future use. 3
To invest the money that they a
out of their incomes in some security
which pays a reasonable rate of inter

"The more thrifty the people area
the more promptly they pay their
bills; and the more promptly bills are
paid, the most stable and prosperous

mote thrift.
I'VE call upon you to perform a
great national service by carrying the
message of thrift to all those with
whom you come in contact, n by
ascertaining whether or not Thrift and

purchased in the communities you visit
and reporting the results of your in

q NOT NEGOTIABLE.
War Savings Certificates Are Not 10
Be Used as Collateral, But 1t is
Easy to Cash Them.

Recent statements appearing In the
public prints tending to indicate that
War Savings Stamps may be Used as
collateral to secure loans, or for other
purposes, are erroneous, according 70
a statement by L. A. Wilson, federal
director for the Wal Savings Organi-
cation for the Eighth Federal Reserve
District.
1t is directly a~ntagonistic to the Fed
eral law, says Wilson. The law ex-
plicitly states that War Savings
Stamps are not negotiable and may
not be transferred by the holder. He
may, IL necessity demands that he OBJ
tain the money he has invested N
them, give 10 dayH' notice and have
them redeemed at any post office. But
to negotiate them through any chan
mel not prescribed by the government
Is prohibited.

ONE REASON WHY
PRICES ARE HIGH
It's the Fault Of the Paper Dollar.

When a man has but 800 In bank
and issues three 90-day notes for 500
each, based on the bank deposit as Sc
curity, the value Of those notes soon
falls very decidedly. In other words,
the average creditor would feel that
he ought 10 have two or even three
such notes before he had paper sufi-
Gent to equal the value of that 500
10 gold that lies In the bank.
This is approximately what has hap
pened with the worlds currency. So
much paper has been issued i'm the
form of notes. credits, bonds and SINH.
lar promises TO pay" that Its value
when compared with actual food and
clothing and other necessities has
fallen tremendously. We express this
same idea the other way around by
saying "prices have gone up"
There Is no reason to expect rapid
retirement of paper promises-war
bonds the world over must run for
some years yet to come, and private
credits cannot be withdrawn oOn
Therefore this cause of high prices
will probably be with us for some time
~yet-several years. in fact.
In the cast of farm crops, at least.
there is another very good reason why
prices are high. Many more mouths
are to be fed than formerly and this
condition also is likely TO persist. War
devastated fields cannot immediately
regain their former productivity. The
farmer seems to be secure in the as.
surance Of good crop prices for a long
time to come.

WORLD RECORDS IN WHEAT
GROWING.

The largest yield of wheat
ever recorded was 117.2 bushels
per acre. II was produced in
1895 in Island county, Washing
ton, on an 1S-acre field.
The largest yield of wheat
over a period Of years of which
the world has any record Is that
of 36Ia bushels per atre at the
Rothamsted experiment station
In England. This yield Is the
average for a period Of 60 years,
Ordinary unfertilized land in
England does not do that well.
In fact, the average yield of un-
fortified land for the same pc
Rod of years was only 1914
bushels. The extra "a bushels
was the result of an annual ap-
plication of fertilizer containing

The lieutenant's demanded an explanation of the clerk in the post office when he was refused service. When he failed to heed the ''move away quickly" order, the clerk, whose name is said to be Swatzheimer, came from behind the cage and sent a stiff blow to Perry's left eye. Before he could regain his feet all the clerks in the store had bounced upon him.
 A shoe rack held in the hands of one of the clerks cut deep gash in tn lieutenant's head He was taken frol. the store bleeding from several wounds. A few hours after the fight Swatzheimer was placed under arrest. Until the matter has been properly adjusted people have been advised to cease buying goods at Peffer's. Lieut..

Has Difficulty in Becoming Citizen
 of United States

A resident of the United States since 1882 and of Pine Bluff since 1887, Alfred Wilhelm Edward Leh- man, one of the best known and most esteemed machinists in the employe of the Cotton Belt here, is having diff ficulty in acquiring citizenship. MT Lehman yesterday filed with Circurit Clerk Sam F. Vaulx the third petition for naturalization he has made since coming to Pine Bluff.
 The first petition apparently was permitted to lapse, MT. Lehman be lieveing thru some misunderstanding or misformation given him that he had become naturalized. His second petition had to be dismissed without prejudice because the witnesses proved incompetent in that they said they did not see MT. Lehman as ire quently as the government regulations prescribe.
 In filing his third petition, Mir. Leh- man was determined to have no more "sheenanigan." He enlisted the aid of Mir. VaulX insuring that the appli- cation is properly filled, and obtained as witnesses P. c. Chesnutt and J. H Hurley two well-known citizens fully competent to give testimony required
 MT. Lehman now awaits only suffi- cient time to elapse before becoming as good a citizen in the eyes of the law as he is in the knowledge of his numerous friends.

SEEK TO STIR RAGE TROUBLE
 IN THE SOUTH
News "Dispatches' Well-Cal culated to Incite COlOred
 People.

That efforts, well calculated to stir up strife between the white and colored people of the south, are being made by certain individuals or or ganizatons outside the south is ap- parent to observant persons of both races. One of the schemes to inclte trouble is a newspaper published Tn a city where the colored people re- ceive no consideration except when they have money to spend, and notor- ious turnout the nation for another paper prejudiced against the south, and for it's nti-American administra- ton.
 From the publication to which re- ference is first made, and which is being circulated in this section, three dispatches" are clipped. These pur- port to give facts concerning the re- cent lynching near Star City of Clyde Ellison, an alleged attack on Lieut.. Marion R. Perry at Little Rock, and a reported massacre of negroes near Hot Springs. Here are the dispatch es" as they appeared in the trouble stirring publication:
