vile on July 9th, 1920. the question
Of commercial fertilizers was dis
cussed in detail.
A motion was made that figures be
obtained from Prof. George Roberts,
Of the College OF Agriculture. on the
value Of Acid Phosphate and Mixed
fertilizers for fall crops, and the sec
retary be instructed to send these fig
urs to all County Farm Bureaus. The
following is copy of the letter re-
ceived from Prof. Roberts:
81 have your letter Of July 10 in
which you ask me to make a state
ment as to whether ! believe farmers
can afford to use fertilizers on what
at prices quoted for fall delivery
which you state are s32 to s34 per
ton for l6 per cent acid phosphate.
I'm reply will say that on our
experimen, fields outside Of the Blue
grass region acid phosphate used at
the average rate Of 200 pounds per
acre has given an average increase
Of about 4 3 bushels Of wheat per acre
on ground that has not been lined

ground that has been lined. These
are average periods Of four to six
vars.
The soils on which these expert.

The American Legion believes in ed

ben:
Mere clannishness for the sake Of
yarn.swappng ON left over memories
Of the war-time-simple contact with
ones own ilk-would never have
served AS Il sufficient basis for the ex.

They may hand you over.
We have curious hankering to
know the sensation Of a hanged nan
when the jerk comes. But don't try
the experiment in order to satisfy
an editorial whim.
Man may pirate loudly of the value
Of their convictions, but the market
price of convictions often fluctuates.
Not all men jump when their wives
speak, Some are quick to anticipate,
and others are too scared to do either.
Don't blow up a storm when the
wife asks you for ten bucks to spend,

married she might have money Of her

When a wise man wants something
and can't get it his wisdom prompts
him not to want it.

Elsewhere in this paper is COM
munication from our good friend, T.
NJ. Dean about the loan that will be
made to the state from the road bond
issue. so that work may proceed on
the Ohio River Road.
The Press bears no malice toward
Mr.. Dean for his stand on this ques-
ton. Every man is entitled to his
own opinion. But here is where The
Press stands on this loan:
We are for good roads, no matter
if they cross the tradewater at both
ends or in the middle. Whether they
are built with money that belongs to
the state or county or private in
dividuals--That' Of minor impor-
tance. This county needs good roads
and needs lots of them and needs
them now.
'Tis true that Mr.. Deans section
Of the county needs good roads-if
ever any place needed them. But
everybody can't have one tirst-The
things don't come in sections ready to
be bolted down a couple of miles at
a time, enabling county to build a
complete road system in day-not
hardly. Building good roads is a long
and expensive task and with material
and labor at present prices this coun-
tvs bond issue wouldn't much more
than built road to Marion from
Deanwood- that wouldn't have
been fair to the rest of the county,
would it?
The road commissioners very justly
and wisely decided to make certain of
one good road through the county at
an early date. We must wait for our
own roads anyhow, so why not let
the state use the money while we use
the road--anG a little later get it all
back and get some more good roads
and then some more good roads and
the first thing you know there will be
one out toward Piney, and Tolu and
Princeton and Fords Ferry and every
where. Who knows but that the city
council may even vote to put in new
bridge across the Bellville street gulch
by the time Piney gets their road. 1t
won't do em much good if they don't
everybody will be afraid to come to
town for no one likes the idea Of being
manned for life-and that is what will
happen some day.

FOLKLORE THEATRE FOR FOREIGN BORN

New York, May 20. = Foreign-born
Americans with love for the drama of
their native lands are to have Folk
theatre of their own, the project of Bur
ton w. James, local community worker,
who has directed Russian and Italian, as
well as English productions in New York.
The theatre, in (which, it is said, the
plays Of all nations" will be given by
amateurs and professionals will be one
of the finest In the. city. 1t will seat only
299 persons but the plans contemplate
that it shall be complete and modern in
every way. The site selected is on the
upper East Side.
Russians, Italians, Czecho-Slovakian
and many other former Europeans for
years have presented grand opera, com
edy and tragedy written by masters
whose work has never been seen by
Broadway theatre-goers Mr.. James, who
is enthusiastic about his venture says
that the zest for sen-expression which
persists among these one-time imnt-
grants even in small dinsy public halls
with wretched stage ACCOMPLISHMENTS Will
never die.
Might after night, all over New, York
said Mr. James. amateur actors of for
stxn nationalities entertain crowds. OF
