u. S. Marines, now stationed in the
American possession lin the South
Seas, who found the punch bowl with

Thylor and some other Marine.
were wandering down a deserted
Spanish highway, leading through
the iungles and chanced to approach
a leper co'ony, maintained by the
government on the Is and. Some
native women were extracting juice
from cocoanut trees for the purpose
OF allowing it TO fernient and become
''toddy."
Nearby was the DEVILS Punch

contraption in the ground about
twenty feet across at he top and bot
tom, and 160 feet deep. but bu'ging
in the center to about 100 feet"

FERTILIZER FACTS


The season has again arrived when
we must plan on the kind and amount
erti izcrs which we will use this
fall The man who makes up his
mind now and gets his order in early
is the one who gets what he-wants
and is not worried and delayed by its
ate arrival.
The first question is what kind
shall ! use in order to get the great
est returns on my money. In order
70 decide Upon this question we must
first decide whether we sha take the
words of the fertilizer manufactur-
ars who want to sell the kind upon
which they will make the most pro
fit or the results from the Ohio Ex-
pertinent Station which has been
.onducting fertilizer experiments for
over twenty years.
IF we take the word of the manu-
facturers, we will in most cages buy
expensive or complete fertilizers. II
we. tlke the word of the Ohio Expert
nent Station. we will in most cases
use acid phosphate or bone meal.
An experiment carried on by the
Ohio Experiment Station at Strangs-
vile. Ohio, for eight years in a ro-
tation of corn. wheat md clover gave
a return in each rotation of $3.50 for
every dollar spent for bone meal
which givos practically the same re,
suits as the same amount spent for
soid uhosnhate while 2-8-2 fertilizer
returned but $2.25 for each dollar
spent. Twenty years experiments at
The Ohio Experiment Station 1T
Wooster with 320 lbs. of acid phos..
phate in each three year rotation ot
corn, wheat and clover give an in
crease of 8 bushels corn per acre and
hu wheat per acre and $50 lbs. OF
clover per acre worth at present price
about S31 90 while the acid phosphate
at present prices would cost about
\ 81 %
Most soils have a bountiful supply
| of potash and at present prices 1t
II is not verv profitable to use it. Nitro
zen can be secured from the air nv
the use of legumes such as alfalfa
sweet clover. mammoth clover, red
clover and alsike clover much more
chaaply than in mixed fertilizers
r-,rere it costs from so cents to 9C
cents per III.
Phosphorus is the element we re-
rnoved most rapidly from our soils
since but a very small proportion l'
returned in manure and croD.
It is phosphorus. therefore, tina
our soils are in most need of and :
we believe in the results of careful
exneriments carried on bv the Ohi'
Experiment Station we will u9e acl'
phosphate or bone meal and thus ge
the grentest returns for our money.

TRIES TO PREVENT CONTEST
The Ohio Legislature has adjourn
ed to meet on the first day of next
December. Before the adjournment
motion prevailed, the House of Re-
presentatives adopted a resolution
calling upon Gov. James M. Cox to
exercise the influence of his high
office and to bring into play existing
laws to prevent the contest between
Jesse Willard and Jack Dempsey,
who are to clash on July Fourth at
Toledo, for the heavy weight cham
pIonship of the world. The House
of Representatives had previously
made an effort to pass an emergency
act to prevent the affair, but failed of
the necessary two-thirds majority.
In order to make the promoters of
the contest and the people generally
know that unanimous consent does
not prevail over the bringing of a
contest of that kind to Ohio, the
House of Representatives which is
made up Of the represo ntatives of
each county, elected by the people
by counties, demand was made up-
on Governor Cox to step forward and
prevent the fight.
Governor Cox responded to the re-
quest calling upon him to exercise
the authority of his office to stop
the contest and declines to interfere
with plans of the promoters on the
ground that under legal opinions the
contest is boxing match not a prize,
ght and boxing matches are lawful
n Ohio.
