Sulphur Experiment.

The sulphur demonstrations which
were placed on alfalfa last year did
not give the results which it was an
ticipated that they should give. how
ever. the Farm Bureau is not discourage
ed in this matter and has taken pains
to continue the demonstrations The
plots put out last year will be closely
watched this year and several addi-
tioual plots have been placed in addi-
ton. Around Boardman of course It
has given good results and the last
years demonstrations will be checked
up on this year and some additional
plots have been put out. w H. Mefford
Of Boardman is applying sulphur on
alfalfa E. P. Jarmon on Butter creek
is also applying sulphur on alfalfa, as
is likewise Krebs Bros at Cecil.
Those who had demonstrations of
sulphur last year are Wightman Bros,
Frank Moore, Rugg Bros, Heppner;
Matt Halvorsen, Laxton McMurray,
lone; Roy Neill. Butter creek; A. w.
Cobb, Boardman
Last year we had several dmonestra-
tohs OF sulphur on gardens which we
thought gave good results clearing the
gardens of worms, as we'll as increas-
ing the yield of the garden. This
year we are continuing these demon
strations to make sure that we were
not mislead. Those who made these
demonstrations for US last year were:
Evans Bros, Oscar Mior, W. A. Camp
bell Arthur Keene, Roy Campbell, and
Wightman Bros, This year we have
on the garden demonstrations for sui
phur: Howard Anderson, Ed Huston
and Joe Hayes This fall It is an
teipated that we will be able to give
definite and positive answers as to the
value of sulphur on alfalfa, as well as
on gardens on soil in Morrow county.

The Wheat Outlook.

Never before in the memory OF the

for bumper wheat harvest looked as
good as at the present time, Dwight

not be improved and that harvest
will this year begin from two to three

Let Us Have the Facts.

The charge by Senator Watson of Georgia
that American soldiers were executed without
trial in France has stirred a storm that will
not cease until the public has had the whole
facts in the matter. senatorial committee
has been appointed TO conduct an investigation
General John Pershing, who was in command
of the American expeditionary forces brands
the charges as outrageous and without
foundation.
But Senator Watson claims to be in possess
sion OF FACTS that warrant suspicion on the
part Of those who have been following his
statements in the senate that some things
might have occurred in France among the
American forces which full light has never
been turned. 1t has not been denied that Amer
lean soldiers were executed in France for
crimes that entitled them to the penalties they
received. yet if the comma nLing officers ex-
ceeded their authority dealt inhumanlv or

All Detectives Now.

The new chief of police OF Davenport has
stripped the members of his night force of
their brass buttons and badges and made
sleuths of them He has also had the insignia
painted off the sides of the touring cars used
by the men at night. The chief believes in this
way he will find better way To apprehend
crime than in having the policemen and their
conveyanceS known to the public. In other
words, his idea is If the crook thinks the city
IS without protection, he will become more
bold. and then the chiefs plainclothes men will
happen along and nab him.
Other cities, however, have tried the expert
ment and found it a failure, for the uniformed
policeman day or night, has moral effect and
after ALL the great aim of a city in protecting
its people is founded in the theory that il is
better TO prevent crime than to apprehend it
after it is committed.
It's the old story of the ounce of prevention
and the pound of cure.

A Hopeful Move.

The announcement by the Southern Pacific
railway of a cut from 20 to so per cent in
freight rates to and from Pacific slope points
is really one of the most hopeful signs of the
times. The new tariff thus to be inaugurated
applies to drygoods, iron, steel and lumber,
and it is believed that it will soon be extended
to other things The hope is also expressed
OF roads extending east from Chicago making
a similar reduction. Then may we anticipate
that the policy once established may include
foodstufs and others of the essential com
modities OF life.
When this Is done. the tide OF trade will
surely turn toward normally, and the rail-
roads will be given the credit of passing on
to the people the advantages that have come to
them in reduced payrolIs
Thus will begin the reduction in the cost
OF living, and hence the long sought way of
contentment
