PLANT GROWTH INDICATES
FERTILITY REQUIRED

If a farmer is at all thoughtful il
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 fertilizers is commend
able under certain conditions and as
part of certain practices. 1t is the
farmers duty to understand these
conditions and these practices before
he undertakes to apply fertilizers to
his crop.
In the first place, he should by all
means understand the needs of the
soil he is working with. If 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 not
be able to make an analysis. but he
can observe the character Of the
growth of plants in the soil and de.
rive thecefrOm some idea as to the
needs.
First-rapil growth, with good
color, plenty CT lean, indicates a good
supply CT the c.eAcnt OF nitrogen, or
mat the sill contains what the farmer
often refers to as ammcnia.'

such as heads of wheat, or cats with
well-Glled grains, or well-fiiled. large
ears OF cotA, indicate a good supply
Of the element rh4sphorous.

fATES ATTEND BABY'S BIRTH
Peculiar Superstition That Has Strong
Hold on the Poorer Glasses
of Greece.

Almost every nation has some par
ticular superstition or belief about
babies, and these result in actions
which vary all the way from the ut
terly absurd to the terrible tragic.
The peasantry of Greece firmly believe
that the future Of every child is de-
termined by three fates, known as the
Moral. In the popular mind these
fates are three old women, whose
habitation is a mountain cave and
they come together to house where
there is newborn child. In prepara-
ton for them, all furniture is set aside,
that their tottering footsteps may not
be impeded, and refreshments in the
shape of honey, bread, cakes and wine
are set out for these important though
invisible guests. Money, too, is placed
on the table, as bride, for it is be-
lieved that in the gift Of these fates
are all good things as well as bad.
Under no circumstances must a child's
beauty be alluded to while the Moral
may be in the house, or they will GER
tainly make its good looks disappear.

Artificial Scents

The great bulk of perfumes are
chemical productions. The Wall Street
Journal says the commercial problem
is whether the American perfumer of
the future is to be an artisan or an
artist. Shall he deal with the fragrance
of flowers or chemical odors and
scents? The idea of the layman is
that the cosmic chemist seeks the
odor Of flowers; but as matter Of
fact synthetic chemistry not only
crowns his work with the crushed oil
of roses, violets and jessamine, but
seeks to rival the fragrance Of flowers
with superior scents originating wholly
within the laboratory and trade
marked as such.

Practically All of Big Clubs In Eng

plies During the War.

To the question of whether golf
courses benefit by allowing sheep to
Craze on them comes from England an
emphatic negative. In the early days
of golf the belief was generally &C
cepted that sheep were good for the
courses, but in the process of time it
was discovered that drives through the
green could be made just as good in
places where it was impossible or in
convenient to Craze sheep as on reg
ular sheep runs.
The war revealed the whole truth
about the effect exercised by sheep on
turf used for golf. Many clubs did
their bit during the war to increase
the food supplies of the country.
either by doing sheep farming them
selves or by allowing neighboring
farmers to Craze sheep over their
courses. Practically all of them, ac-
cording to London Field, have cause
to regret the necessity of making the
experiment.

But it is great mistake to intro

If they are not quite the real thing,

genious architects to the order of CAPT
talist committees out of heathery
wastes or virgin forests. 1t is highly
important to keep the fairways and

Not few green's committees, in
their anxiety to get a new course

moment, have exceeded in the use of

the water does not drain away from
