BEDDING ON FERTILIZERS

Ihe Following experiments were re.

Director r. ]. Redding.
The experiments were conducted
during the years, 1903, 1904 and 1905
In 1903, the month of April was dry
followed by a wet May and dry June
In the experiment that year, GOA lbs
OF complete fertilizer were applied
to the acre devoted to this test On
alternate plots the fertilizer was bed
ded on four days before planting the
seed. On the intervening plots the
identical amount of fertilizer was an.
Piled at the same rate per acre. in the

the fertilizers that were bedded ON
were applied IA days before planting
the seed, and in 1906 they were an

seed
For the season. of 1908, where fer.

acre. For 1904, the yield where ferti-
lizers were bedded on 1919 lbs. of
seed cotton, compared with 1851 lbs
where the fertilizers were applied in

The results in 1905 were 9S4 lbs. of
seed cotton on plots where fertilizers
were applied at the time of planting
the seed.
II While the difference in yields in
1905 is small, yet lit is in harmony

AS an average of the three years test,
the results are 46.7 lbs. Of seed cotton

when the land is being prepared. If
we value seed cotton at 10 cents per
pound, this practice shows $4.67 per
acre gain over applying fertilizers
when planting.
The fertilizer used in these expert
ments consisted of mixture of acid
phosphate, cotton seed meal, nitrate
of soda and muriate of potash.

March 4, when the present session
ends. The President is said to be
anxious for the senate to act favor
ably upon this question. 1t is expected
1t will be brought to a vote during the
coming week. National Democracy
can put feather in her cap by
granting women the right to vote in

LONG FAREWELL TO THESE

GONS FAREWELL ~ iT1E0E
On Ellis Island, where first they
were permitted to gaze on Libertys
impersonation in art, where they
had their first faint idea of what
American Liberty means, ARE fifty-four
members of the Industrial Workers
of the World, waiting their turn to go
back to the lands of their birth.
They have been separated, according
to their nationality, and will go back,
each to the land from whence he
came.
They are going because they have
become leaders in strike disturbances
in the far west They have given the
people OF Seattle and the state of
Washington much to fear and much
to cause future worry, for they have
been the most active men in the
spread OF Bolshevism. They came
from the land Of anarchy and disre.
spect for law and order in society.
They have striven to carry that idea
into American institutions and indus.

Boxing Commission
Bill Is Changed

Under amendments made in the
Senate to the bill to create the State
Boxing Commission for control of
athletic contests, the authority of the
state commission is made absolute
and above any municipal regulations
The bill is now on the third reading
calendar, and is in better shape as
far as passage goes than any similar
bill in years. Bills for State control
OF boxing have appeared regularly
for a decade and never gotten any
where.
The most important of the amend
ments provides that NO city, bor-
ough, town or township shall pass
any ordinance inconsistent with the
provisions of this act and all such
ordinances now in force in any such
city, borough, town or township are
hereby declared void" The require
ment for fees for licenses is cut out
and unincorporated clubs are given
the same right to hold matches as
others operating under charters The
commission is required to give hear
irgs before revoking licenses.
Another change cuts down the age
of persons authorized to attend
matches to IA years.
The growth of boxing in the Army
and because of the war has put the
bill in most favorable position, it is
said at the Capitol.
