such ears dry out very slowly

to heat or freeze than ears
which contain a smaller amount

attention also to the form of

be chosen from strong, stOcky
plants which stand erect in re-

the total yield of the plant and

Terracing to Reclaim Lost Acer-
age.

N. j. Meyer of st. Francois
County is adding to his farm.
He is not buying more land but
is retaining a hillside that flow
ed away several years ago and
left so much waste land. The
many gullies in it precluded any
attempt to cultivate this part of
the field until the worst ones
were filled with brush. Yet the
field washed badly with every
hard rain. Two terraces were
constructed, under the direction
of the county agent, along this
hillside which will doubtless
solve this problem of erosion.
The extension service of the u
University of Missouri College of
Agriculture is advising the con-
struction of terraces on sloping
fertility fields subject to erosion
and many farmers are realizing
its Importance.

Fertilizer for Wheat and Clover.

II Cl JlllACl lOI meat dAtu OlOfCi :
OF the three elements common
in fertilizers nitrogen, phos-
phorus and NEARLY all
Missouri soils are in greatest
need of phosphorus, especially
for the wheat crop. For that rea-
son, we are recommending under
present conditions, acid phos-
phate or steamed bone meal on
all soils of medium to good fer
tility. On thin washed hill sides
it is advisable to use a little nit
rogen and still apply as much
phorphorus as possible. For such
conditions a mixed phosphoric
acid is recommended.
Acid phosphate and mixed fer
tilizers should be used at the
rate of $50 to 200 pounds to the
acre while bone meals may be
applied at the rate of 125 to 15C
pounds to the acre.
While numerous field tria.
show that available phosphates
drilled in with wheat are prac.
tically certain of giving a profit
not all of the benefits are shown
in this first crop. Where cloyel
is to be sown in wheat, thu
chances Of securing a stand are
much improved if a phosphate
fertilizer is used literally. Mex
to a need for lime clover de
mands a liberal supply of phos
pilates. The many Missouri soils
that are sour should have this
condition first corrected will
lime and a phosphate then useC
with the nurse crop. Fewer Glow
er failures would then occur.

LOafing Hens Starting to Market


Poultry culling campaigns UNI
der the direction of the extern
sion service of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture
are heading many hens toward
the market. If hens are not lay
ing eggs they are fit only for
food, and the quicker they are
marketed the smaller will be the
feed bill for the flock. In Perry
County, 736 non-laying hens
were culled from 1908 fowls ex-
amined the first week of the
campaign. At one farm, al hens
were culled from a flock of 49,.
The owner was pleased with the
work, says County Agent Raut,
as she had been getting only a
to 6 eggs a day, and was salts
fed the laying birds were among
the eight retained. In the second
week, 81 farms were visited. OF
the 1882 fowls examined, 542
were culled as non-layers. The
percentage of culls seems to run
about the same in all the farm
tiocks. In Vernon county out of
1853 hens examined in 81 dem
onstrations, 664 were culled.

1.-THE price of peace" Of which the
Victory loan is but a part, is large, but
not nearly so large as it would have
been had the war been fought to the
humiliation of the German armies
as our military leaders believed would
be necessary. Had the war lasted as
long as these leaders anticipated. hun
dreds of thousands of American youths
and millions more of their allies would
have been called upon to pay the SUI
preme sacrifice.
That they were not forced to give
their lives is in no small measure due
to our governments preparations TO
crush the enemy completely. The in
dustry as well as the man power Of
the nation was called into the govern
ment service, and great war machine
was created which the German general
staff saw meant complete humiliation
for their forces if they fought on, SO
they quit.
There were In France when the arm
istice was signed, 2002,17 officers and
men wearing the United States uni
form. In the states there were more
than 100000 more in training or
awaiting shipment overseas. This
army had 100000 rifles and 10000
600 rounds of ammunition in France
when the armistice was signed. There
were 221 100000 additional rounds on
boats en- route to France at this time.
These figures do not deal in anything
but infantry equipment.
Smokeless powder was being deliv-
cred at the rate Of 100000 pounds a
week and high explosives at the rate
of 100000 pounds. We had on hand

chloropicrin, $50 tons of white phos-

eminent had developed the best gas

TANGO DANCERS

Afternoon and
Night
CHAMPION WRESTLER
WITH THE CIRCUS
Greatest String of Fancy Horses
Ever Seen With Circus.
They Are Tango Dancers
Too. Don't Miss Them.

And now the tango has invaded
the realms of the circus. Wot? The
truth. The whole truth and nothing
but the truth. For when the Yankee
Robinson Three Ring Wild Animal
circus comes to DEBORAH for a one
days exhibition on Saturday. May
ID there will be exhibitions of every
sort of tango that exists. There will
even be sample of the oldest tango
in the world, originated from the
time that Adam and Eve had trouble
over their rent in the restricted
Eden district and were forced to
move without waiting for the first
day of May.
The dancers? With your kindest
attention, permit us to introduce
Texas Tommy" and Lady Virginia"
both true opponents of not only the
tango but the more modern Maxixe
and Tickle Tom Both are tango
dancing horses, let it be known and
when they start dancing nothing in
the code of convention OF dancing
masters of America that can ever
approach them.
Of course there are other tango
dancers with the circus. There are
tango dancing elephants, tango
dancing polar bears, tango dancing
men and women and tango dancing
dogs. And of course they all form a
part of the circus performance. All
of this-as the announcer would say
only forms small part of the
circus that is coming here.
There is a Capt. Tiebor with his
troupe of musical seals, a horseback
riding leopard, lion who actually
loops the loop, mixed group of
lions, tigers. leopards, pumas and
hyenas, all performing in one large
steel arena. There are thirty real
funny clowns and hosts of acrobats,
gymnasts and aerial performers. AS
an added feature Plestina, Worlds
champion wrestler will meet all
corners at each performance. They
are all there with many other circus
features and can be seen in the
mile long street parade which will
leave the circus grounds at noon.

MANY MARRIAGES
A. f.. +. MEN.
AMONG
More Than Six Thousand Americans
Will Marry French Women, 1t
Is Said.

That Cupid was nearly as busy as
Mars with the members of the Am
eriCan Evolutionary Force and that
romance bloomed in France in spite
of wars alarms is shown by the fact
that more than six thousand French
women have been wooed and won by
American soldiers within one year.
The majority of the French girls who
have become Americans through
marrying men and officers of the
American EXpiditionary Force are
stenOgraphers, salesgirls or teachers,
with a sprinkling of peasant girls
and those of the middle class or
bourgeoisie.
The romances are in most cases
very similar. A soldier would be bill
leted in a French family a member
of which would be a girl Of marriage
able age. Together they would delve
into the intricicies of the French
language, sign language being
promptly superseded by a combina-
ton of Anglo-French jibberish.
The clean cut, healthy physique of
the Americans, their politeness and
generosity would appeal to the heart
of the French girl who saw in the
American the realization of her
dreams AS rule, the Americans
also made no secret of the particular
sympathetic feeling they had for the
French girls and so as natural Sc
quence, marriages resulted.
Many such pairs now are puzzled
whether wife should accompany her
husband to America or the husband
should make his home in France.
1t is expected that fully fifty per cent
of the benedicts will adopt France
for their future home.
