Broadway in OILS Angeles is nc STEP
sister to the more eminent and wide
ly known Broadway in New York.

Square or Detroit's lighting displays.
The Chamber of Commerce makes ey-
cry man potential advertisement for
lower California. The Chamber of
Commerce has an all-embracive dis
play-an exposition-in its rooms Of
lower California products, people,
scenes, etc. They go out into the
highways and byways for their ad-
vcrtising material; and once Cali
fornian, an individual thinks, speaks,
lives and sleeps in California, and
where he travels the state goes with
him. | find that I am to speak here,
and have been as much as advised
that | am expected to pay compli-
ment in my address to California.
That's propaganda that smacks Of the
German.
I'll admit that in every city and
state in the country the axis of tho
world sticks visibly from it's heart,
but California is the Atlas that sus-
tains the world.
"All the giant redwoods in the state
bundled into a great faggot wouldn't
equal the axis that / find sustains the
rest of the universe from California.
California has been made By East
ern capital. A friend here admitted
that. 1--WE live on the people from
the East" said he "You come here
and we take from you what you
bring; we give nothing except per-
haps siuvenir that you buy" 1t is
truly a great plact just the same. and
they have 1t on the East in many
ways-not all due to natural advan-
tages of land or climate, but TO the
enthusiasm, ambition and aggressive
energy of the people. They are the
pioneers who fought for everything
they received"
The South's great opportunity is
here. 1t should turn in and utilize
to the fullest its resources, and
broadly advertise at hove and abroad,
its opportunities.

California Gives Less
But AdvertiseS More;
South Needs Publicity

California gives nothing, except
perhaps, a souvenir that you buy
that is the confession of a California;
to a visitor to that state, as quoted
by correspondent of the Manufac-
turers Record who lately crossed the
continent to study conditions on the
Pacific coast.
Well, that cannot be said Of Flori
da. Florida gives its visitors a great
deal. 1t gives them the finest eli
mate in the world, naturally better
climate than California. It gives ac.
cess TO this climate to larger num-
Der OF people, because Florida is clos
er to the centers of wealth ard pop-
ulat1on. It gives larger values for
money when investments are made in

land. 1t gives more beautiful skies
and more beautiful ocean waters. 1t
gives "a heartier welcome to tourists
and seasonal residents. It gives many
things more than California does.
But it advertises less.
And by advertising less than Cali
fornia, Florida loses the California
gains.
Following is the letter about Cali
fornia and Florida as printed in the
Manufacturers Record:
L think I've sensed the great sue
cess of California. It's good roads
and advertising. The roads are the
best that can be built and the adver-
Using done here is really amazing.

IMPROPER USE
OF Fertilizer
CAUSES LOSS
County Agent Makes Important State
ment on the Use Of Fertilizer In
Growing Tobacco.

County Agent George Kirk makes
the following statement for the bene-
fit Of Mason county farmers on fertil-
lizers:
Many Of the failures with fertilizers
on tobacco result from improper meth
ods Of application. The farmer who
uses fertilizer on one row of tobacco,
and not on the next none, and sees the
fertilized rowburn up at the first hot,
dry spell, while the unfertilized row
seems to be unaffected, is very likely
to conclude that all fertilizers are a
curse and that all fertilizer dealers
and manufacturers are crooks. This
Is his own fault, and while there may
be some crooks in the fertilizer game
they are becoming mighty scarce since
the experiment Stations began throw
ing their searchlights on the land
scape.
If fertilizer is properly applied, the
crop will stand the drouth better than
unfertilized tobacco On the same
ground. If fertilizer is put in the
bottom of the row, or in the hill, the
chances are that the crop will be all
foxes ears, while the untreated
tobacco will come out all right The
reason is plain to be seen, if we go
into the matter little. Plant roots
carry plant food to the stem and
leaves. If the roots do not spread
and penetrate the soil deeply dry
weather will find the plant unable to
secure moisture and plant food from
the moist soil beneath The roots grow
toward the plant food, and placing the
fertilizer in the bottom of the row, or
in the hill, cause the roots to bunch
around the fertilizer, and the very
thing is accomplished which is most
disastrous-a small root system which
is very shallow.
For application of Nitrate of Soda,
spreading along the side of the row
after setting is best Do not allow it
to touch any plants. Cultivate this in
at first cultivation. Use 100 pounds per
acre.
Basic Stag, or Double Super-Phos-
phate as it is called, should be broad
ed and thoroughly disked, or "rannel-
led" in before the plants are set. Use
at least 200 pounds per acre.

PARIS, Jan. 1G.-Havas.) )-The lat est news received from Berlin indicates that the government forces have wid- ened the barred zones inside the city and succeeded in effecting a junction between the troops coming from the provinces and those already in the city.
 LONDON, Jan. 10.-The elimination of Eichhorn, the spartacan police chief, whose refusal to resign led to the present trouble in Berlin, may be an accomplished fact. A Zurich report re- ceived here says he has fled from Ber- lin, while report from Frankfort says Herr Richler, municipal councillor and a majority socialist, has been appointed temporary head of the Berlin police.
 Other reports from Berlin say the government has been able to operate few trains on the main railroad lines It is said five thousand employees of the printing establishments of Scherl Ullstein and Mosse have refused to de- clare a general strike.
