The reclamation extension act of
1915 extended the time of &epaying
the cost of the works to twenty
years. and consequently the turn
over in the rotating fund Is slow,
and the rate OF construction will
be slow without an increase in CAPT.
tai.
The oil and coal lands leasing
act passed in 1920 provided for
other income for the reclamation
fund. This year was the first I'M
der this act. and the receipts have
been about 100000, most of which
was accruals from previous years
and do not indicate that the income
from this source will be SO large
later on.
y rough estimate of income to
the reclamation fund in the future,
by a reclamation official, is as fol-
lows:
Receipts FROM sale OF Lands .... s., 1aO, 600
Receipts from Oil Leases ...... 1000 OOO
Receipts from Repayments w $500, ono
Heeeipts from Power Sales .... 100000
Receipts from Miscellaneous .... 100000
Total ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 5000. 600
AS the needs for building new
projects and the extension of those
existing at present decrease. this
fund will accumulate in the Treas
ury, gradually replacing the funds
diverted TO this work in the past
While the whole sum and interes:
may not be returned, the invest.
mcnt will still be a profitable one
for the government when the sum
of the added resources is consid-
cred.
The amounts received from the
sale of public lands in the SEVERAL
States and later expended in con-
struction in these States is shown
in the table below. 1t will be seen
that some States have contributed
much more than has been spent
within their boundaries and this
may require adjustment. which may
take the form of other forms of
reclamation or public Improvement
or a credit on appointments of
Federal funds somewhat as hag
been arranged in the case of the
Federal aid road act.

CHEMIST ENDORSES
ROCK PHOSPHATES
BY +. II. SMITH
Chemist, Georgia Experiment Sta
+ tion.l

The worth Of raw phosphates as
has been generally overlooked in the
south. Since a large portion of the
farming area Of this section is con-
veniently located with respect to va
rious grades Of these mineral phos-
pilates, their value in agriculture
should be more generally recog-
nized. While the high grade min
erals are mostly used for manufac-
ture Of acid phosphate it is not an
economical process at the present to
use the lower grades for this pur-
pose. And these low grade mate
rails carrying from 20 to 80 per cent
total phosphoric acid are available
in the ground form for direct use in
agriculture.
At the Georgia experiment station
comparisons have been made of rock
phosphates and acid phosphates for
cotton fertilization. Rock phosphates
from Tennessee and Florida COM
pared favorably with acid goods
when applied continuously for three
or even two wears, although the SOL
uble acid phosphate gave higher

finely ground rock phosphate with
the first-year treatment. In other
sections of the country the greatest
returns from the natural phoSphates
have been obtained after applica-
lions over a longer period of years,
and we may reasonably expect the
same results for many of the soils
in the southern states.
The mineral phosphates @are en-
tirely in the insoluble form and
benefits Of direct applications are
considerably delayed, as our expert
ments have shown. By treatment
with organic matter such as that in
compost heaps, manure beds, or sta
BILE litter, some of the phosphorus is
changed to the soluble or available
form. Composing for six to eight
weeks with rich soil and cottonseed
meal has been found to increase the
plant food value Of the mineral
phosphates, although considerable
loss of ammonia from the cottonseed
meal occurred.
The following yields Of cottonseed
per acre were obtained from use Of
the mixtures of rock phosphate and
cottonseed meal, when applied at the
rate of 500 pounds per acre:
Mixture of cottonseed meal and
phosphate rock, not composted, $50
pounds.
Mixture of cottonseed meal and
phosphate rock. composted, 1875
pounds.
The composted material produced
in this experiment 1856 pounds more
seed cotton per acre than the same
amount of material not composted.
While composing with costly am
moniates such as cottonseed meal is
not advisable on account Of nitrogen
losses, other available materials
might well be used BY comrosting
with animal manure the so1ubility of
the phosphorus is also increased.
Where natural phosphates can be
obtained it should be mixed with the
farm manure by sprinkling round
the stables and stalls frequently. In
this way the value Of the manure is
greatly increa Sed

10. Are the Indians actually de-

A. While the 1920 census shows
an actual decrease in the number of
Indians, this is explained by the fact
that the census enumerators classed
as whites, persons having only a
slight trace of Indian blood, while
in 1910 these were classed as In

she sprang to her feet, took up her

She found herself at Fifty-ninth

and with a hazy recollection of hav-

houses several blocks down, she
walked along Sixth avenue until she
came to broad side street which
promised a haven of sorts.

houses looked anything but friendly

climbing the steps, the suitcase still

The door was opened by a middle

what she wanted.

The woman showed her displeas-

floor front with it's running hot and
cold water, and it's airy windows. She
classed Harriet as a girl out of a
job. and hardened her heart as she
preceded her up the stairs. Terms
were strictly in advance and she
intended to stick to her guns. No
amount Of pleading would have any
effect.
Harriet stopped to rest when she
had climbed two of the flights. But

shoulder to see what was the matter
proceeded doggedly and Harriet
