use of 16 per cent acid phosphate,
1878 pounds from 3-12-0 fertilizer and
, 4240 pounds from 3-12-3 fertilizer
was shown on one plot of rather fei.
tile second bottom land. These tom;,.
toes were sold at 75c a hundred
pounds, giving the owner return OF
$34.20 for 200 pounds of acid phos-
phate, $34.40 for like amount of g.
1910 fertilizer and $32.40 for the 3-12-
/ 8 brand.
A thinner plot gave less returns
with the fertilizer used. An increase
of 2940 pounds an acre from the use
of 16 per cent acid phosphate, 3640
pounds from the 3-12-0 fertilizer and
4104 pounds from 3-12-3 fertilizer
was shown on this plot of thin upland
soil. These tomatoes selling at 75c
hundred pounds gave the owner a
return of $22,05 for 200 pounds of
acid phosphate, $22.98 for a like
amount of 3-12-0 fertilizer, and $780,
78 for the 3-12-3 brand.
Fertilizer in all cases was applied
at the rate of 200 pounds an acre
/ The tomatoes were valued at 75c q
hundred pounds, some of which were
sold at that price, but it was lower
than the market price.
1t will be seen that acid phosphate
was by far the most economical fer
tilizer on the fertile land. On the thin
land the 1923 gave $S.72 more re-
turns to the acre than did the acid
phosphate, but the phosphate gave
splendid returns for the money in
vested. In both cases 3-12-0 made a
slight gain over acid phosphate; but
on the fertile land the phosphate pro-
duced 320 pounds more to the acI--
than the 1923 fertilizer.

MAKE A SUCCESS OF YOURSELF

Make a success Of yourself.
Don't worry too much about fame
Or power in the struggle for pelf,
Just make a success Of your name;
Be one that is rated at par
In the markets of men every day,
Be all that the good fellows are,
Don't life in a slovenly way.
Men judge by the work that you do
The skill of your brain and your
hand,
But your real tasks to fashion a "you"
That is fit with the highest to stand
You may toll to the top of your bent
And succeed in that one-sighted way
But your glory will bring discomfort
If you let yourself wander astray.

District Commissioners. The range

by the Government for storage pur-
poses.

able" said Commissioner J. Thilman

controversy today when the commit

statement IN the case supporting
their side OF the issue
IL is probable the commissioners
will take no action until after the
meeting tomorrow evening at the

View Citizens Association and resi-
dents on Sixth street between New
ton street and Otis place, will air
their troubles.
HENDRiCk GETS STATEMENT.
The statement was delivered to
Commissioner Hendrick this after
noon. II says:
"All kinds OF rumo1s are rife as to
reasons behind the demolition of
houses on Sixth street. and a number
of questions will be asked the citi-
zens association tomorrow night
bearing upon these rumors. The prop
erty owners who are now opposed to
the demolition OF these houses have
never been asked for their view In the
matter, and no effort was ever made
TO make a bona-fide investigation To
learn Just what the residents Of Park
view thought OF the move which in
wolves not only the demolition of sew
enteen houses. but at time when

sons whose homes they desire torn

PROBE DELAYED STREET WORK.
The action OF the school authorities
and the Civil Association in failing
to make an effort to have the street
Improvement is also made the sub
ject of an attack. 1t was said that
when the committee attempted to
have the street resurfaced, II learned
that one Of the reasons why nothing
would be done with the unimproved
section was because the school would
eventually take over the property.
George III. Russell, president of the
Park View Citizens Association, said
To-Day tnAt the members OF the COM
mittee, even though they are not mem
bers of the association. will be ad-
mitted to the meeting tomorrow night.
as they are Interested parties" He
said one OF the leaders in the agitation
has never been a member Of the as
sociation and never patronized the
Community store, which is also the
object OF attack.
GET TEN QUESTIONS.
After the meeting Of the Sixth
street committee Saturday night, in
which they formed a committee to
see the officials of the Park View
Community Center and the citizens
association, one Of the members of
the committee called on Russell and
presented the ten questions which will
be submitted to the citizens associa-
tion tomorrow night. Russell said he
and other officers of the association,
who happened to be at his home at
the time, answered nine of the ten
questions satisfactorily. The other
question they were unable to answer
he said, because they did not have
the books of the treasurer with them.
