You are doubtless aware of the
present opportunity for the Ameri-

duct in most profitable field;
Central and South America and
the West Indies.
Our plans contemplate establish

These exhibits Will be in charge
OF competent Representatives OF
the Export Finance corporation
natives Of the country educated IN
American business methods. with
full knowledge OF the needs OF
the merchants of that locality.
An exhibit OF this kind benefits
the merchant by eliminating the
necessity Of going to the States
to make his selections-saving
time and expense-and places our
products before many who now
for various reasons are unable to
visit American markets.
The cost Of maintaining these
exhibits is borne by this organiza-
tion-The manufacturer sharing
no part of the expense.
It is possible that the factories
in your vicinity are obliged to
close at certain seasons, resulting
in DISCRIMINATION or creating q
surplus stock which is a financial
loss. We,feel that by cooperating
WITH us these conditions will be
overcome and increased business
result.
May we thank you in advance to
lay this matter before your manu-

ALKALI AND NITROGEN
Lucid Directions About How to In
crease Fertility of Farms Of
County Given by coun.
ty Farm Agent.

lust exactly how to increase the
4 fertility Of Lee county farms by de-
termining exactly what they need In
i the soil, is what is now occupying
attention in this county.
The soil meetings held last week
! were well attended at most places
Z where they were held. A great
amount Of interest is being shown in
the maintaining and increasing SOIL
! fertility. The main points empha-
sized by the extension men from
Ames are as follows:
Since practically all the soils In
4 this county are sour. limestone is re-
quired to bring them back to nor
mai condition. The amount of lime
Y stone required per acre varies Gom
one to nvo tons. The only WY OF
being sure about the amount 10 TO
have m acidity test made. This can
lbe done locally by the county agent
or will be done q Anes It the soil
n = GENT there.
Organic Matter and Nitrogen
Practically all the soils in the
3 nounty are low in organic matter and
nitrogen.
SOIL Of high productivity should
contain approximately twenty tons Of
organic matter and 5000 pounds OF
nitrogen per acre. The soils in Lee
county contain from sixteen toms OF
organic matter and $500 pounds OF
nitrogen to Eve tons Of organic mat
ter and a few hundred pounds OF
nitrogen.
The use Of farm manures are en-
courzged, but as it is impossible for
the average farmer to rapidly bring
% his soil fertility by this manner.
1t is suggested that he grow legumes
such as clover. alfalfa, soy beans and
cow peas. By having previously aD-
piled limestone, the growth OF
legumes are greatly encouraged and
much more nitrogen and organic mat
ter can be placed In the soil than l.
1T had not been lined.
How to Apply Phosphorus.
Most of our soil types are low In
phosphorus. The phosphorus can be
obtained only by purchasing either
raw rock phosphate or some form OF
commercial fertilizer.
The raw rock phosphate costs
much less per unit than does any
form OF commercial fertilizer but 1t
Is slower, in acting upon the grow
ing crops.
The extension men say It IS better
30 use the phosphate after applying
limestone and organic matter to the
soil than before. since the phosphorus
ds made much more available to the
plants by being IN a sweet soil Of
high organic content
Anyone interested further IN this
naAtter is invited to take up the
matter with County Agent J. 8.

AS an all-round fivver, the wife's
"trip to the country rates a full hund-

increased interest in securities by peo-

The war-savings stamps, and the gov

but have opened the eyes of the null

can see is that after twelve months
with friend husband, any place seems
quiet and just full Of sylvan glades
and things to the wife. And besides
the phrase sounds patrician and seems
like a million dollars when she springs
it on the folks at the bridge table.
The husband uses the term because
it carries an illusory suggestion of sa-
fety. He can date up Joe and Tom for
every night next week down at Gro
gan's with a feeling of perfect secur-
ity, because even if word suddenly
got to the wife of his loose way of
living the old man would have to 60
down to the pasture lot and fetch up
Mag and Bill, and by the time he had
them harnessed to the d~ouble-seated
buggy the lap robe would turn up mis-
sing; it. would take him an hour to
find that, and by the time they were
all in and ready to start off, little
Margery's cat that grandma had Civ
en- her would make a dash for lib
erty; the chase would lead. down to
the spring under the hill, where Mar
gerry would get all mixed up in the
nire and require a changing of shoes
and tockies, involving an untying OF
the trunk, and a %repacking and re-
lacing to the hind end of the buggy.
By the time they got to town the elo=
ven o'clock train would have left, and
they would have to wait for the next
train, which leaves at midnight. They
would go back home and try it ove'
the next day, but the next day tbs
old man would be called away to at.
tend a caucus: and the chances would
be very much against the wife eve1

That is the way the husband always
figures it out; to him "the country
