PLANT GROWTH INDICATES
FERTILITY REQUIRED

II farmer is at all thoughtful In
the matter Of the purchase of fer.
tilizers, he will hesitate before buy
ing until he has satisfied himself
that he is buying the right kind, says
w. R. Hendrix, professor Of agron'
omy, Louisiana State University.
The use Of fertili b,rs is commend
able under certain conditions and as
4 part Of certain practices. It is the
farmers duty to understand these
conditions and these practices before
he undertakes to apply fertilizers tc
his crop.
In the first place, he should by all
means understand the needs of the
soil he Is working with. II he does
not, he is not in position to use fer
tilizers intelligently. Not only do the
soils vary in their supply of plant
food but they also vary in their needs
correspondingly. A farmer may net
be able to make an analysis, but he
can observe the character Of the
growth of plants in the soil and de.
rive therefrom some idea as to the
needs.
First-rapid growth, with good
color, plenty Of lean, indicates good
supply of the element of nitrogen, or
that tho soil contains what the farmer
often refers to as ammonia"
second-good proportion of fruit,
such as heads of wheat, or oats with
well-filled grains, or well-filled, large
ears Of corn, indicate good supply
of the element PHOSPHORUS.
Third-bad color, fruit dropping
easily, stalk lodging or falling, indi-
Gates a lack of potash. Good upstand-
| ing, stiff straw indicates enough
potash
These three elements constitute the
limiting ones, the ones which the soil
| usually lack one or two or all OF
them. They are the ones which are
contained in commercial fertilizers
which are, as is commonly called
complete"
Now let the farmer notice how
| plants grow in his soil. Does he
notice plenty of color, leaf and stem
or stalk growth, but a. very notice
able lack of seed production? 1t
means lack of phosphates in the soil,
but not any lack of nitrogen. 1t
would be folly for him to buy fer
tilizer containing nitrogen for such a
condition, at the present cost OF nitro
gen, Let him buy only what is
needed in this case, some fertilizer
containing PHOSPHORUS largely, such
as steamed bone meal, or acid phos'
plate. .
II he has good color and good Leaf
! and stalk, but poor grain yield and
the grain falls down or lodges easily,
there is need for both PHOSPHORUS
and potash. Let him buy then only
PHOSPHORUS and potash, any number
Of combinations of which he may find
ON the market, or he may BUY tile
separate ingredients and mix them
himself.
II the indications are that each ele'
ment is lacking in his soil, then he
may buy mixed fertilizers containing
all three elements, in all sorts OF pro,
portions. II he does not know what
nroportions to buy, let him write his
Experiment Station for help.
The fertilizer question is large
ope, and needs much more elabora.

The Scab

Hell is not half enough for him.
The thing that scabs on his fellowmen
He is all that's low, dirty, vile and mean,
Lower than the reptile that strikes at man unseen
Brother to the cannibal uncivilised and wild,
Murderer of mankind, the woman and the child,
Worshipper of mammon, lover of gold,
Selling his honour like Judas of old;
Condemnmg his children to be wage-slaves,
Helping to fill the pauper's graves,
Despised by all, loved by none;
A thing to hate thing to shun.
Traitor to himself, to everything worth WHILE
The thing that we abhor, the SCAB that we revie.

Jewish Nationalism and the Labor Movement
David S. Reisz

Are there any International Jewish Secret
Societies aiming at world domination, as the Bri-
tish Morning Post" claims, the Literary Digest"
of September 25th quotes, and Henry Fords
Dearborn Independent also speaks of? How has
the world found out that there are such Jewish
international secret societies? - Surely these are
interesting questions?
For answers and the proofs Of those answers
the reader will have to go to those who claim
that they know them The writer limits himself to
the relationship of the revolutionary members
of the workingclass of Jewish extraction to the
Jewish international secret sociaties.
have yet to find Jewish active worker rev.
outionist who is also member of Jewish tenn
pie or synagogue or of Jewish secret society.
The so-called Zionist-Socialist or Territorial
ist-Socialist can not be classified as worker rev.
olutionist for he is much rather willing to give
up his identity as workingman than his identity
as Jew; the aim of these organizations being the
establishment not so much of socialist nation as
rather the establishment of Jewish nation-a
Jewish capitalist nation to begin with
All Capitalists Alike To Workers.
Workingclass revolutionsts can only unite. with
other workingclass revoutionists, be they Jew
ish or non-Jewsh. The worker revoutionist, rea-
Lies the harmfulness of the capitalist system of
exploitation it makes the rich richer and
the poor poorer He knows that in order to do away
with the harmfuness of the capitalist system, he
must take it impossible for exploitation to con-
tnue; he must dspossess all capitalist Jews as well
as all capitalists of other no denominations. The
mere fact that the worker revolutonist happens
to be of Jewish extraction does not make him more
sympathetic towards the Jewish capitalist exploite
than he happens to be to the non-Jewsh capitalist
eXpoiter. The worker revoutionist of Jew
sh extraction realizes that he has nothing in
common with the capitalist Jew but racial descent
The interest of the workingclass and the nte-
rests of the capitalist class being diametrically op
posed the interests of the worker Jews and the
interests of the capitalist Jews are dametrically
onnOced
The toiler. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1919-1922, 1920-10-23

Samuel Jonson was speaking of his own time
when he said that patriotism was the last refuge
of the scoundrel At the present time it begins to
seem as if the advocacy of pogroms of Jews is the
last refuge of the capitalist class.
Let us assume that the capitalist class will
have found that the advocacy Of pogroms Of the
Jews will result in the dispossessing of all capita
list Jews; what then? The workingclass will be
no better off than before.
What The Workers Want
The worker revolutionists say to the capital
st class: "Abdicate from the ownership of the
means Of production and distribution Restitute to
the workingclass what is rightfully theirs" To
this some capitalist source answers: "The Jews
own Poland - The Jews own Hungary = The
Jews own America The Jews own the world"
More outspoken ones add the moral" xiii off
the Jews"
The Jews, the capitalist Jews, may be dispo-
sessed Still the rich will continue to get richer
and the poor to become poorer
The advocacy of pogroms may be the last re-
fuge of the capitalist class - what when that
will have run it's course?
Knowing that there is also pogrom agitation
directed especially against worker revolutionists
of Jewish extraction shall treat of it in the next
nstalment of "Pogrom Agitation Directed Against
Jewish Worker Revolutionists."

LOCAL F|REMEv
To STATE MEET
MEMBERS OF THE MADISON FIRE
FIGHTING ORGANIZATION WILL
COMPETE AT TOURNAMENT
JUNE % to -

Several members of the city fire
department will be present at the
state tournament that is to be held
at Hot Springs June 22-24 inclusive.
A method for the selection of eli
gibles will be put into operation just
as soon as the weather settles. The
next few weeks will see some strenu
Gus workouts preparatory for the
meeting in the Hills. The boys, under
the direction of Clifford Coffey and
E. G. Quarnstrom, hope soon to be
down to steady practice in making
signal runs and rapid couplings.
From this practice those in charge eX-
pect to select the men most capable
of making a good showing in COM
petition with other teams at the tour
nament.
Preceding the tournament dates a
meeting of fire chiefs is scheduled to
be held at Rapid City June 1921.
Madison will be represented in the
person of Chief Clyde Walker and his
assistant. An elaborate program re-
lating to the prevention of fire
| throughout the state has been pre-
pared, State Fire Marshal w. N. Van
Camp being one of the principal
speakers.
The local company is much inter
ested in the protective work they
have volunteered for and visit to
the state meet with them is some
thing worth preparing for and attend
ing. Our citizens should cooperate
with the local fire fighting force as
much as possible. Whatever is done
to encourage them and keep up their
morale only makes them more eff
cient in their peculiarly hazardous
work.
This city maintains a costly fire
| fighting equipment and has men up
on whom she can rely when danger is
at hand.

DANIELS BEFORE
NAVAL COMMISSION
PRESIDENT WILSON WAS DISSAT-
ISFIED WITH GREAT BRIT
AIMS METHODS.

Washington, May 11.-President
Wilson was dissatisfied with the way
Great Britain had managed the naval
end of the war up to the summer of
1917, and expressed himself emphati-
cally on this point in a confidential
address to the fleet at the time, Sec
cretary Daniels disclosed today before
the Senate Naval Investigating COM
mittee. Wilson appealed to the of
ficers of the fleet in a secret rendez-
vous at Yorktown shortly after
America entered the war to throw
traditions to the winds and find new
ways of meeting the submarine men
ace. Daniels said the navy depart
ment long before the war was alive tC
the Importance of preparedness and
was taking every step toward thai
end. Daniels said that it took siA
months to get British approval of The
North Sea mine barrage approval ant
if Admiral Sims had urged the propo
siticn instead of airing his own objec
tions it would have been adopted
much earlier.

LITTLE IMPROVEMENT
IN FOOD SHORTAGE
BRITISH FOOD MINISTER DIS
CUSSES FOOD SITUATION
OPTIMISM NOT JUSTIFIED

London, May 10.-The food mini
ster, Charles A. McCurdy, took up in
the house of commons yesterday the
present food situation. He said the
optimism of year ago regarding sup
plies had not been justified and it
was well that the fact should be re-
allied. The world production of sugar
had decreased 3,500,000 tons. Great
Britain should receive in the coming
year 1000 tons less of wheat from
America than during the present
year, and India's increase of 1,500,-
900 tons would not be available for
export. Wheat prices were a most
important factor in determining
wages all over the world.
The nations were faced with the
prospect of a considerable reduction
in the worlds available supply of
wheat and prudent craftsmanship on
the part of importing countries, that
there would be rise in prices reflect
ed in every other comm modity.
The supply of butter promised to
be only half the pre-war standard,
and he could see no sign that the
worlds food shortage was likely ma
terially to improve. England must
still continue to get the greater part
Of it's imported food from America
but he hoped that by the end of the
year alternative sources might be
available.

HILLS STREAMS
CO ON RAMPAGE
MELTING SNOW CAUSES BLACK
HILLS STREAMS TO LEAVE
BANKS

Deadwood, May 1.-THE melting
of several feet of snow which fell
throughout the Black Hills in storms
during the latter part of April and
opening days of May have filled the
streams to overflowing and several of
them are on a rampage as result of
the floods.
Rapid Greek has been very high for
several days and the flood of waters
which have come down from the
mountains has done considerable
damage at and above Rapid City. A
great deal of trouble has been caused
the light and power company which
provides Rapid City with electricity
and power by the flood.
The Dakota & Wyoming railroad,
which operates line from Rapid
City westward TO the heart of the
Black Hills, has not been able to
operate trains over it's tracks for sew
eral days, the flood waters of the can
yon through which it runs having
caused several bad washouts between
Rapid City and Mystic. The track
cannot be repaired until Rapid Greek
subsidies.
Fears are entertained that the
stream will go still higher, and ii II
does additional damage will be done

BIC FIRE IN
SIOUX FALLS
LOSS ESTIMATED AT $500, ,OOO-
DEFECTIVE WIRING THE
CAUSE

Sioux Falls, May 11.-Rivalling
the International Harvester company
blaze of three years ago, and one of
the most disastrous conflagrations in
the history of Sioux Falls, fire COM
pletely wiped out the historic old
Sherman Transfer company's long
frame building on East Eighth street
Saturday night with loss that may
approximate 100000.
The origin of the fire is as yet
unknown but the most plausible
theory is that of defective wiring. An
stored there by big implement houses
is now a mass of twisted iron from
which there can be no salvage but
the junk mans price. The building
itself will be rebuilt in modern style.
as soon as it is possible to get under
way, the owners say.
Ten firms of implement houses
were using the transfer house for
storage purposes for their machinery
which was distributed from Sioux
Falls. Among the heaviest loses by
the fire were the Sears-Roebuck com
pany of Chicago, Cochran-Sargent
company of st. Paul, Mimi, and the
Sampson Tractor company of James
vile, Wis, all of whom had large sup
plies of implements and merchandise
on hand. The insurance on contents
of the building is not known, as much
of it was handled at the factories of
the concerns represented. On the
building it was about one-fifth OF
what it would cost to replace it now
