DEMONSTRATED VALUE OF
SODIUM NITRATE.

Jesse Maize attended Farmers
Week at the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture in January. He
learned that sodium nitrate is benef-
cial in apple orchards when properly
applied. He tested that information
this year in his entire orchard with he
exception of few check trees. These
check trees will not average a crop
one-third as large. as that grown on
the trees in the fortified portion and
the quality is not nearly so good. Mr..
Maize has his expense and is convinced
that the application paid well.

composer OF note. and 1t has been said
of him that he is only second 10 Nc
Dowell in his creative genius. His
Sonata Teutonica" Is considered by
many to be his finest achievement
though. his Sonata Noble" and a
smaller work for the piano and or
chcstra, "Rhapsodie Negre" will prob
ably become popular with the public
lin general much sooner than the first
mentioned work. But Mr. Powell
should not be praised for his many
contributions to American piano
pianist. who would satisfy the most
trained observer, his performance
shows not only that he Is a conscien,i-
Gus musician. but that he possesses a
warmth of conception and sincerity
which denotes the true artist.
