Kitchen Cabinets

In a kitchen cabinet you will save the

kitchen. It is real blessing to the tidy
housewife, and makes the work pleasure
instead of drudgery. We have them and
the prices are right.

A contemporary has ventures the
assertion that a mansion in the skies
is the only think you can build now
at the old prices. We've always been
taught that we were building on that
blissful domicile during all our stay
down here, so that won't fit; even the
undertakes has increased his rates
and the churches are asking for high
err pay for preachers to preach the
gospel, and along with everything
else, it's right; only, we hope that all
this won't go on forever down here

The game laws are more strict than

FERTILIZERS FOR
WHEAT AND CLOVER

Of the three elements common in
fertilizers-nitrogen, phosphorus and
potassium-nearly all Missouri soils
are in greatest need of phosphorus,
especially for the wheat crop. For
that reason, says R. R. Hudelson Of
the University of Missouri College of
agriculture, we are recommending.
under present conditions, acid phos-
phate or steamed bone meal on all
soils of medium to good fertility. On
thin washed hill sides it is advisable
to use little nitrogen and still APP
ply as much phosphorus as possible.
For such conditions mixed fertilizer
with about 2 per cent ammonia and
ten to twelve per cent phosphoric acid
is recommended.
Acid phosphate and mixed fertiliz-
ers should be used at the rate Of 100
to 200 pounds to the acre, while bone
meals may be applied at the rate of
125 to $50 pounds to the acre.
While numerous field trials show
that available phosphates drilled in
with the wheat are practically certain
Of giving profit, not all of the bene-
fits are shown in this first crop. Where
clover is to be sown'in wheat, the
chances of securing|a stand are much
if a phosphate fertilizer is
used literally. Next to need for
lime clover demands a liberal supply
of phosphates. The many Missouri
soils that are sour should have this
first corrected with lime and
a phosphate then used with the nurse
crop. Fewer clover failures would
then occur.
