CHURCH MAY CHANGE
PRAYER FOR NATION
Episcopal Bishops Favor New
Plea for Office of President,
Not the Man.
WOMEN ENTER COUNCILS
Cardinal MERCER Speaks at
Observation-Disclosures in
Faith, He Says.

DETROIT, Oct 20.-Petitions for Divine
guidance and protection for the PreF-
dent of the United States should be
democratic in form, the House Of Bishops
decided to-day in refusing to concur in
action by the House of Deputies of the
Episcopal Church in convention here to
retain the old form of prayer. The
Bishops Endorsed the new form Of prayer
rejected last week by the deputies, which
also contains a plea for safe guiding the
nation.
1t was the contention that the old
prayer. modelled after that Tor the
monarch of England in the English
prayer book, presented TOO strongly 8
plea for the man and not for the once
The House of Deputies was asked &c
concur in adopting the new form.
BY action of the House OF BISHOPS
also Thanksgiving Day is TO be created
a holy day of the church. Concurrence
of the deputies IS necessary.
In both houses progress was maze TO-
day in revision of the prayer DOOR, tne
bishops rat,fying many Of the amend
ments made by the deputies and the
latter adopted further changes Inc
bishops agreed to omit the alternative
absolution in the morning prayer In
the evening service confession and aoso-
luton prayers may be omitted on sun
days as permitted on weekdays.

women's status Advanced.

Another step toward acknowledgements
Of women was taken to-day when the
House of Bishops gave permission TO
the missionary district of San Joaquin
Cal, to admit women TO its legislative
councils A commission has been named
to consider the subject OF the status OF
women in church councils and is to re-
port in 1922.
Choice for place for the next meet
ing has found divided sentiment in the
two bodies, The House of Bishops has
selected Philadelphia and the House OF
Deputies to-day unanimously decided
,non Portland, ore. The bishops will be
asked TO meet the wishes Of the other
house.
Agreement has been reached in the
two houses on the question of a con-
coroat with the Congregational Church
whereby Congregational ministers may
be ordained to preach in the Episcopal
Church. An agreement has been pro-
posed to the church constitution when
II adopted at this meeting and ratified
in 1922 will remove AMY obstacles TO
give Episcopal ordination to ministers
of other faiths. Before the next con-
vention an Episcopal commission is to
confer with the Congregational sigma
tories to the concordat with view to
widening its scope.
The League Of Nations issue came TO
the front again to-day when the inter-
national Affairs Committee Of the House
of Deputies offered n substitute for

at is not possible for the farmer
with limited capital, producing mar
ket milk. cream or butter as a busi-
ness, to own cows valued at the high
figures paid for registered animals.
The sire heading his herd, however,
should be a registered animal, which
means that he comes from high-pro-
ducing, pure-bred stock and is capa-
Bile of transmitting his individual mer-
it to his progency," says NJ. H. Grif-
fin, of the Colorado Agricultural Col
lege. otherwise there is no pos
sibility of improvement. According
to Eckles, 1T is highly important to
select a breed adapted to the purpose
for which il is to be used. However,
the selection Of the individual COW
within the breed is Of even more i'm
portance as affecting the economic
production of milk"
by keeping records Of the produc-
ton of each COW; by wedding out
those which are Improbable; by
breeding the profitable ones to a pure
bred sire: by saving the calves from
these; and. by proper feeding and
management. it is possible to build up
"a high-producing. profitable herd

Electro-C ulture Tests

A report from Thomas FieldhOuse.
Superintendent for the K. l.. Marsten
Estate, Port Chester. New York
shows remarkable results accom-
plished by the McCreery Method of
Electro Culture. The Radio-Nirofier
in this instance was installed August
10th, 1918. Turnips were sown in an
electrified area on the same day. No
manure or fertilizer was used in this
plot, while both manure and fertilizer
was used in a Turnip bed planted the
same day and on-electrifed. A COM
parison after termination showed
that the Turnips from the electrified
area were 70 per cent larger than
Turnips grown under usual methods
Peas grown under the influence Of
Electricity reached maturity II days
earlier than those grown under regu-
lar conditions. In this case the seeds
were sown August 18th, and germi-
mated August 23rd, one day ahead of
the Peas sown the same day in non
electrified plot. The first Peas were
picked October 18th from the electri-

parallel to each other at each side
of the area, and embedded in the
earth about 9 inches deep.
These electrodes are insulated cop
per conductors that are constructed
not only TO spray the electricity but
to distribute equally the amount of
discharge throughout their length.
Thus it can be said that the area is
uniformly electrified. The usual
method of installation on a farm is
to place the Radio Nitrofier in a small
portable weatherproof house, like

Crop Rotation as A Nitrogen Fixing
Practice

Modern farmers. in their attempts
TO maintain soil fertility, pillow under
the roots Of leguminous crops and by
rotation or the alternate growing of
clover and alfalfa, etc, with corn,
oats. and wheat, maintain fair de-
gree Of fertility.
Clovers and alfalfas are considered
the best soiling crops.
Because it has been demonstrated
that these crops return more nitro
gen to the soil than others. it is con-
sidered essential in modern farming
to grow these crops TO maintain soil
fertility. 1t is necessary for the entire
crop to be returnd to the soil in order
that sufficient nitrogen be supplied
for beneficial results. If any of the
crop is sold or fed or the manure not
returned, little nitrogen is restored TO
the soil
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1919-05-01

The Radio-Nitrofer is an instru-
ment which is connected to 40 or
220 volts A. c. or d. c. current cleo
tricity of low frequency. 1t consists
of transformer, and other devices
to change this current TO a higher
frequency and voltage. When
changed in this manner the energy
takes on the characteristics of static
electricity or lightning.
In this form, by the aid of metallic
non-oXidizing substances placed in
the soil, the electricity is driven in a
spray OF rapid alternating surges
through the surface of the soil from

The Use of the Radio NitrOfier
Means:

/. More chemical Nitrates in the
soil.
. More bacteria in the soil
3. More bacterial Nitrogen in the
soil.
!. Better aeration of the soil.
). Insurance of larger crops ma
turing ten days to two weeks earlier
and of better quality. produced with
the same expenditure of labor that
il takes TO raise poor crop.
6. The permanent maintenance of
the nitrogen fertility Of the land.
7. That by the continued use of
the process the results should be bet
ter the second and third years of
cropping from the same land than it
was the first year
:. That the price paid for the
original installation will be more
than returned by the value of the en-
HANGED yield, the first year.
Practical Results of Electro Culture

method prove the effect of electricity

The yearly expense of using the

will vary for different crops, as will
be readily seen by the following
table, but the average yearly cost for
the continued use of the process will
be around 30 cents per acre. All

be supplied by the Radio-Nitro Pro-

Low Cost of Operation

The laboratory tests Of the Nc
Creery process of discharging high
frequency electricity through the soil
indicate that an increase of forty-five
(45) pounds of nitrogen per acre of
soil can be made in one hundred
G00) days by using the process four
hours per day. at the nominal cost per
acre for electricity of fifty 500 cents,
where the cost of current is eight (8)
cents per r. W. hour The annual re-
quirements of nitrogen for different
plants vary. for example, sugar beets,
thirty 600 pounds, oats. forty (40)
pounds, wheat, forty-One (4D

tobacco, seventy-six (76) pounds,
cotton, sixty-fve (65) pounds and

amounts vary slightly with the yield.

the soil from decayed humus in the
soil and by natural precipitation of

tility of the soil by the use Of the
