Just Folks
By EDGAR A. GUEST
THE OLD DAYS.

Time was that life was partly play and
mau could rest little while,
Could find the time along the way to
visit with his friends and smile,
And he could go on fishing trips and
never miss the coin he'd lose,
But that was in the days before his
wife wore fifteen-dollar shoes.
unto the weary soul Of man.
He dropped his work at close of day
untroubled till the next began,
And he could play an hour or two; the
books he loved he could peruse;
But that was in the days before his
wife wore fifteen-dollar shoes.
Great riches were not needed then, in
those glad days of long ago;
A man could find contentment then
with what was given him TO know.
And there were joys on every hand
from which his soul could pick and
choose;
But that was in the days before his
wife wore fifteen-dollar shoes
There is no rest for man today, he's
forced TO serve the gods of gold:
He dare not linger by the way. as once
he did in times of old.
He must forego his fishing trip and
shun all things that may amuse
Because the women folks today are
wearing fifteen-dollar shoes.

Bandits Rob Lone Trayeler

Appleton Press:-Last Friday
night on the road between Correll
and Ortonville, bandits held up John
Hansen, lone motorist. The high
way men, two in number, had drawn
up with their car crossing the road
making it impossible for another car
to pass. When Hansen came along
about 10 o'clock he was ordered to
stop. The men then came around to
his car and at the point of a gun he
was told to hand over his money.
One of the men searched him, getting
about a hundred dollars in cash,
some liberty bonds, and some deeds,
together with Hansen's discharge
papers Not satisfied with this loot
they then removed one of the castings
from the car. Before leaving their
victim, one of the men said that
Hansen's shoes hooked pretty good to
him. They evidently made pretty
big hit because he snapped with Han
sen, leaving in exchange a badly
worn pair.
After the hold up Hansen drove to
Correll where he left his car. He
went on to Minneapolis by rail. At
the time of the hold up Mr.. Hansen
was driving from Jamestown, N. D.,
to Minneapolis.

w C.. STATION TO COOPERATE
IN PHOSPHATE EXPERIMENTS
Treble Super Phosphate to Be Used in
Minnesota for the First
Time

In 1913 the West Central Expert
ment Station in cooperation with
the Division of Soils conducted a
large number of cooperative exper-
iments with farmers in Stevens
County using acid phosphate on
wheat, barley and clover crops. The
results of those experiments demon
strated so conclusively the value Of
acid phosphate on the average soil of
Stevens County and so closely corrOb-
GRATED the long series of expert
ments at this Station that it is now
believed that on the average farm
acid phosphate can be used with
much profit and that it will increase
the yield of these crops several bus
hels per acre when used on land that
has not been recently covered with
barnyard manure.
During the past year, a new form
of acid phosphate known as treble
super-phosphate has been placed up
on the market which carries a much
higher precent of phosphorus thereby
reducing greatly the number Of lbs.
necessary per acre. None Of this
new phosphate has yet been used in
Minnesota. The Division of Soils has
secured the first carload of this new
fertilizer to be shipped into the state
and the West Central Station will
arrange for so co-operators among
their students and alumni for the
year 1921. The Agronomy Division
at the Station will organize these CO.
operative experiments and supervise
the work. Sufficient phosphate will be
furnished each cooperator for
one acre. 1t is planned to have each
plot as near the public
highway as possible and have
them carefully laid out and
staked in order that everyone may
see the results of the experiment.
Careful records will be kept thruout
the season and accurate information
about yield will be secured. It is
planned to distribute these expert
ments over the several counties in
the west central portion of the state
where this fertilizer may prove high
ly profitable. The reports of mis-
cellaneous tests thruout the district
seem to indicate that many soils out
side of the county will be benefited
more by the use of acid phosphate
than the soils Of this particular
county. Inasmuch as the Govern
ment holds great areas Of natural
phosphate deposits in Montana, ii
will make a very cheap source OF
supply of this fertilizer for farmers
thruout this section Of Minnesota
and it is predicted that the time will
soon be here when this fertilizer
will be used on an extensive scale
with several of our standard crops
