Test Fields Established to Supply
knowledge Needed Now.
Government Bulletin. }


The enormous fertilizer consump-
lion in the United States. amounting
to more than u hundred million dol
lcrs prior to the war, has under
gone in the last few years de-
cided change, not SO much in volume
as in the composition of the fertil-
iziag materials. This has forced a
careful study Of ratios of essential
plant-food constituents on promi-
:,ont and essential crops.
Test Fields Working.
Accordingly. small field plats for
the study Of fertilizers have been es-
tabiished by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture on different
soils and under different agriculture
8! conditions. The test fields now in
operation are at Presque Isle, Me-. :;
State College, Pa; Norfolk, Va. :;
Florence. S. c.; Pecan City, Ga.
Putney, Ga; Thomasville, Ga; Mon
ticello, Fla. Orlando, Fla; Ashland,
Wis, and Scottsburg. Ind
Special field tests have been con-
fueted to dHtermine the smallest
quantities of potash which will meet
The requirements Of the tobacco
plant, more especially on the lighter
soils of the fiue-cured district.
Marked responses have been OBJ
tanned with only "a pounds. and even
as low as 10 pounds, of potash per
acre. These applications have suf-
ticed to prevent the appearance Of
the characteristic symptoms Of pot
ash deficiency which the plant shows
when no potash is supplied in the
fertilizer. 1t has been possible also
TO establish an appreciable difference
ate of potash in their action on the
r1ant.
Some Products Found Worthless.
The usual fertilizer situation has
brought forth numerous fertilizer
substitutes of more or less doubtful
merit for which extravagant claims
are made. Companies are organic
ing to exploit fertilizer materials,
concerning the value Of which little
IL known, and considerable in
crease in such test work seems neces-
cary. Several such products have
heen investigated and tested by the
department. So,ne Of them are
practically worthless and others have
value entirely out Of proportion to

"Somewhere in France"
(By Nesbit Lee.)
Somewhere in France, on an October
night,
Walking post in the pale moon
light,
Is guard on duty--he stays wide
awake,
For not only his life, but others, at
stake.
Back OF his post his comrades sleep;
If noise is heard he eagerly peeps; ;
If anything's wrong, he quickly calls
The corp'ral Of guard, who investi-
gates all.
Then on his post he continues to
stay,
Sometimes thinking Of things far
away,
With picture in mind of some
happy day
That's awaiting his return to the
u. 8. A.
Then he stops to listen to the cannon
and guns,
And thinks Of the boys that are
lighting the Huns;
lie knows from the light of the
bursting shell
That our boys are sending the Huns
to hell.
When the battle is finished he pic
lures in mind
The dead and the wounded left be-
hind,
Hut the boys that are numbered with
those that are slain,
Are dead heroes Of honor, not slack
ers Of shame.
We are true to the colors-Red
White and Blue
Death before dishonor" Is our
motto in view.
We ask this blessing from the Father
above
TO grant endless peace in world of
love.

And we view the ship that awaits us
While Uncle Sam takes us by the
hand.

| have a battle for you to fight;
War brings upon you many burdens,
But we must stand up for the right.
Our strength Is the staff on which
old Glory
Must wave freedom to nation
grand.
''ris by her presence our homes are
protected
While we fight in another land"

AS our sight Of America grows dim,
in our hearts we ask Gods pro-

And If it be His will, to return to
We know He will lead us across the
water
And will guide us safe ashore;
He'll go with us into the trenches,
And will guide us evermore.
FIe brightens our lives when shaded
by danger,
His love is our comforter when
alone;
He'll not forsake us when in the
battle,
For He ever knows His own.

was taken from the successful stage
play, Lady Frederick by w. Somer-

of intense human emotion. In this
dramatic Metro production Ethel Bar
rymore is seen in her artistic and emo
tional best. She plays the same role
which she created on the stage and In
which she became internationally
famed. The story is powerful one
full of the passions which sway and
dominate. Jealousy, intrigue, revenge
and love all take their turn upon the
stage of life but as always, love ana
good prevail and the story ends with
a beautiful romance. The action is
swift and intense and Miss Barrymore
touches dramatic heights never before
reached by an American actress.
