PLANT GROWTH INDICATES
FERTILITY REQUIRED

II q 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 II buying the right kind, says
w. r. Hendrix. professor Of Agron-
omy. Louisiana State University.
The use Of fertilisers II commend
able under certain conditions and -
a part Of certain practices. 1t is the
farmers duty to understand these
conditions aud 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 therefrom some idea as to the
needs.
F1rst-raptd growth, with good
color. plenty Of lean, indicates good
supply OF the element OF nitrogen. or
that the soil contains what the farmer
often refers to a. ammonia
Second-good proportion Of fruit,
such as heads Of wheat. or oats with
well-flled grains, or well-filled, large
ears OF corn, indicate q good supply
Of the element PHOSPHORUS.
Third-bad color. fruit dropping
easily, stalk lodging or falling, indi-
Gates lack of potash. Good upstand-
ing. stir 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 soh. Does he
notice plenty of color. leaf and stem
or stalk growth. but q very notice
able lack of seed production? 1t
means lack of phosphates Id the soil,
but not any lack Of nitrogen. It
would be folly for him to buy fer
tilizer containing nitrogen for such
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 phosph0rous
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 the
separate ingredients and mix them
himself.
If the indications are that each ele-
nent Ii lacking ID his soil. then hs
may buy mixed fertilizers containing
all three elements, In all sorts Of pro
portions. II he does not know what
proportions to buy, let him write HE
Experiment Station for help.
The fertilizer question Is = large
ana. and needs much more elab0r1r
tzcn than IS possibls here.

MOOSE LODGE
IS INSTITUTED
NEARLY ONE HUNDRED MEM
BEERS TAKE PART IN ORGANI-
zATIoN OF NEW ORDER AT K.
OF ?. HALL.

In commemoration of Washington
birthday, and because Of the solemn
| ness Of the occasion, Pensacola Lodge,
Loyal Order of Moose, was duly in
stituted with all appropriate rituals
tic ceremony yesterday afternoon at
the K. of P. hall.
About one hundred citizens Of Pen
sacola participated in the ceremony
and it is said that many were sur
prised that there was no goat to
ride and absolutely no horse play in
the institution of the new lodge.
A number of visiting members OF
the order were present and assisted
the supreme lodge representatives in
comforting the degrees.
The meeting was originally sched-
uled for another hall, but was changed
at late hour in order to provide for
the special ritualistic features pre-
scented by the supreme lodge repre-
sentatives and also as the lodge could
secure temporary lodge hall space for
the period between the institution and
the selection of a permanent home and
caInily club.
\ notable feature of the institution
IS said to be the method of admitting
applicants to membership, and concral,
TO an impression that seems to have
prevailed before the organization of
the Moose lodge. all those who hap
pened to make an application could
not be sure OF admission. y members
admission depended upon the election
by q membership committee and in
this manner undesirabIes are thus
easily excluded.
The Loyal Order of Moose is Il per-
manent fraternity. 1t has a member
hip Of more than %, 900 members in
100 lodges located in the important
cities Of the English speaking world.
and each member is an equal owner
in Mooseheart, the $4,000 900 home and
vocational school located 35 miles
weS- Of Chicago in the Fox river
valley.
During the ritualistic ceremony,
steroopt;can views illustrating the
progress of the order at Mooseheart
were shown and enthusiastically re-
cetved by the new lodge The concen-
sus of opinion seems to be the Moose
organization ceremony developed
$50 per cent more interesting features
that had been provided by the organi-
zation committee. and Pensacola is
proud to welcome the new lodge as
a real asset.

COPPER EXPORT 5 EQUAL PRODUCTS
 IF PORPHYR|ES

Detailed figures of the foreign com- merce of the United States for No vember show exports of but 2S,67S,7O9 pounds of refined copper. the smallest in any month since June, and con- pairing with 44,001, ,239 pounds in Oc- tober and 62,341.00 pounds in Sep tember.
 During the first eleven months or last year 4O2, ,99S, ,239 pounds of the red metal. valued at $SS,152, ,159, were ex- ported from these shores, compared with 645, ,32S,S9S pounds, valued at .s166. TSP. 900, exported during the cor responding period of 1918, and 949,- 0O2, GOO pounds, valued at $2S2,S12,OOO' shipped abroad during the first eleven months of 1917.
 While 402 .99S, 900 pounds of copper looks large in the aggregate, 1t repre- sented but small part of the total production in this country last year notwithstanding the drastic curtall- ment that was in effect at practically all the copper mines during the great Ter part of 1913.
 It might be of interest to note that the total exports of refined copper during the first eleven months of last year represented substantially the amount of the red metal turned out by the seven prominent porphyr1es during that period. These porphyry producers-Utah, Inspiration, Mlaml' Ray, Nevada, Chino and New Cornella during the first eleven months of last year turned out 3S2, ,00O pounds of the red metal, or but 2O,63S,OOO pounds less than total exports of cop per from this country during that perl cd. That meant that the hundreds o1 millions of pounds of the metal turned out by other producers in this country during the eleven months either went into domestic consumption or was just that much addition to the enor- nous surplus.
 It will therefore be noted from the above figures that the production of the porphyries alone substantially took care of the export trade last year. As a matter of fact. this group of companies in some months turned out considerably more copper than was exported. In December the DOT phyries outputted 35,5OO,OOO pounds, whereas total exports of refined cop per that month amounted to but 2S,- 67S,000 pounds.
 The $6,305,1 ,101 value placed on No Ivember exports means an average of substantially g cents a pound. Octo- Der exports were valued at an average price of 2175 cents a pound, compared with an average of 22 cents in Sep ltember, 22.27 cents in August, and 1880 cents in July.
 The export trade of this country in wire, except insulated, during the first eleven months of 1919 showed a substantial increase over the cores, bonding period of 1918, or from 14,-

COPPER QUEEN SAFETY BOARD REPORTS MI FATALITIES AND
 FEW ACCIDENTS IN PAST YEAR

The annual report of the Safety Department of the Copper Queen Branch of the Phelps Dodge corpo- ration. shows a remarkable de- crease in accidents in ali branches of the work during the year 1913. The report shows reduction of 35.H per cent in the total number of accidents as compared with 1918. Not sin gle death by accident occurred, re- cord that is probably without paral- where the hazard is the same.
 A report of the total accidents in the mine department. including Sac amento Hill. for the two years is as follows:
 191S-Fatal, IA; serious, 2S4; slight. l17S; no loss of time, $50.
 l9l9-Fatal, none; serious, POS; slight. s66; no loss of time, CAB.
 The total accidents per 1000 shifts worked is as follows:
 During 191S-Fatal, 02; serious, .S4; slight, 1.42; no loss of time, 1.O3; total. PSI. During 1919-Fatal, none; serious, 29; slight, 119; no loss of time, .SS; total 2.36.
 Sacramento Hill seem to have been the worst offender in the past Tn the matter of accidents. In 1918 II fatal accidents occurred there, but not one in 1919 The total number of ac- cidents per thousand shifts worked on Sacramento Hill shows a slight re- duction in 1919 or 1918.
 It is estimated that more than 50 percent of the accidents were pre- Ventable either by the company, the injured employe or fellow employees. By far the greater number are pre- ventable by the injured employe as out of 1045 accidents (not including Sacramento Hill) 922 could have been prevented by the man injured. Acci- dents due to trade risks, or the risk that is necessarily part of certain trades, come close to 50 percent of the total number of accidents.
 The main points of interest in the report are seen in the fact that fatal accidents are now an unusual occur renee (none last year); serious acci- dents are really very small in num- Der compared with the total number of accidents and even minor accidents occur to only very small percentage of the men working. That a large percentage of all of these accidents are preventable by the men them selves illustrates what the accident branch of the company IS trying to accomplish, and is accomplishing, in keeping this fact constantly before the employees. That the report every year shows a decided decrease in the number of accidents IS sufficient proof of the value of the work and is source of satisfaction to employees and company alike.
 The work of accident prevention is controlled by what is known as the central committee: Arthur Notman, chairman; w. w. Gidley, secretary; R. R. Boyd, J. F. Sinclair, J.'W. To- land, O. N. Alvin, J. E. Lanning, A. M. Shock, Geoge Mieyr, H. C. Jacobs, Sam Verran, Patrick Beecher, Robert

CONSOLIDATION IF GLOBE MINES
 IS CONSIDERED

Negotiations for consolidation of Arizona Commercial Mining company are still in the bibulous state, accord ing to the Boston News Bureau. Those in control of the latter company have made known the basis on which they are willing to enter such a combina- tion, viz, two shares of Arizona Com mercial for one of Old Dominion, The dominating factors in Old Dominion, however, have decided that this pro posal is not fair to them.
 The advantages to be obtained from such a consolidation are so obvious that it would seem unwise for either side to attempt to split hairs. Arizona Commercial, lying alongside Old Do minion, has, according to engineers, easily 600,0OO to 100000 tons of ore in sight, estimated to contain per cent copper The property has not yet been opened to any great extent at depth and has a large acreage of virgin ter ritory.
 O. D. We'll Equipped
 On the other hand, Old Dominion has a modern works; smelter, mill, etc. And it, too, has very large ter ritory yet undeveloped. Due east from one of its shafts stretches 2000 feet of ground known to be mineralized and which was never tapped until re- cently, when large development pro- gram was inaugurated. Right now Old Dominion has over 100000 tons of ore in reserve, ready for extraction, hi will and per cent copper.
 Each side, therefore, has much with which to. trade, but it would seem that if Old Dominion interests refuse to give one share for two of Arizona Commercial, latter stockholders would not be giving up too much if they de- cided to give 2.5 shares of stock for one of Old Dominion. They would then be removed from the necessity of bothersome contracts for reduction of their ores, have complete access to the Old Dominion works and not be compelled to build a reduction plant of their own, to say nothing of conse- lquent economies and opportunity for larger returns. On this latter basis a consolidation might result.
 Much Copper Disposed of
 Both companies disposed of a large amount of copper during the buying movement of the last three months. They each finished 1919 with approxi- mately three months production on hand in addition to metal in process, which usually takes 100 days. In other words, they sold all the copper car ried over in 1919 and 50 per cent of their last years production.
 Arizona, Commercial finished the year with approximately $750,O00 in leash and copper. Old Dominion has been borrowing large amounts of mon ey, but it's loan account will soon be materially frightened. due to conver- sion of copper into cash,
