AIR CREDIT

'T>HE world has conceded the genlus
i Of Wright and Curtiss, but only
as individuals. In reality our national
aeroDattic prowess runs back sixty
years and more.
When we contemplate the $1,000.
100000 which has been suggested for
the next aviation budget, and the plan
of building $4,000 machines in one year
It is a little difficult to understand the
governments former attitude.
The balloon idea" was brought to
Washington in 1851 by Professor
Lowe. He was a young inventor who
started us making artificial ice. He
died only four years ago after a long
life which was calculated to spite his
enemies In the capitol. They had call
ed him a lunatic when he proposed to
fly over the Confederate lines and
bring back information.
There was a rumor that the hostile
army was about to attack. Young
, loves balloon was used as last re-
sort. He assembled about 5000 feet,
drifted over the enemy batteries, and
returned with what proved to be
straight dope that Johnny Red had no
intention Of starting anything.
This exploit was such feather In
loves bonnet that his pay was III
creased to $40 a day. Which ruined
him. For, though he made subsequent

The Union army then made Its own

out, but as the balloon was always
captive the zone Of inquiry was very
narrow. Foreigners came over to IN
vestigate the wild runlors which mao
become rife In Europe.
The technique Of this early aviation

and other business men.
E. Maughmer, travelling tepre-

greatest thing for this part of the
country that has ever been seen.
He says these machines have a
power of ninety thousand pounds
on straight pull, which is dou.
bled and doubled again by the
adding of blocks and puIleys, and
that no stump will stay in the
ground when Fordson and the
stump puller take hold of the job
of excavating.

Commercial Fertilizer.

There is no question but that
proper use of moderate amounts of
Phosphate fertilizers in connection
with manure is one of the surest
ways Of increasing yields on practic-
ally all farms in the state;" says A.
r. Whitson, head of the Soils depart
ment, Madison.
Commercial fertilizer on the mar
ket today are either nittrates supply
ing Nitrogen, phosphates supplying
phosphorus, or potash supplying pot
ash, or mixture of two or all Of
these. A mixture of the three is gen
orally known as complete" The
only other one very commonly used
is 1 4 or 16 per cent phosphate. The
large fertilizer companies are most
interested in the sale of Complete"
for they contain in part a by-product
of the packing houses.
The fertilizer that our Wisconsin
soils need is phosphate, so we should
use phosphates and not nitrates. Or
dinarily, farm manures, unless con-
siderable bran, oil or cotton seed
meal is fed, are strong in nitrogen,
liberal in potash, but short of phos-
pilates. Therefore, under average
conditions, an application Of phos-
plate is recommended for increasing
yields of crops. That applications of
it will pay is well shown from results
obtained so far. In Wisconsin an av-
erage increase due to phosphates was
valued at four times the cost of the
fertilizer.
Some apply small amounts of
phosphates to corn in the hills. The
results are generally very pronounc-
ed, but the objection of this method
is that the following crops are not
benefited. When broad-casted, at
the time the soil is being prepared
for corn or small grain, all crops in
the rotation will be benefited. Glover
and alfalfa are benefited by phos-
pilates more than corn or oats are.
If applied to corn in the row, use
from 80 to 100 pounds per acre,
dropped by means of a fertilizer at
tachment. If broadcast, apply from
200 to 400 pounds per acre worked
in with disk or drag. The manure
spreader may be used for broadcast
ing.
For the city gardener I would ad-
wise an application of so pounds of
fertilizer to a plot of ground so by
60 feet in size.
