ADVICE FOR

Necessity For Giving Wet

There are a few battery facts that

"One thing he ought to keep in view

better the material and workmanship
the greater the chance Of long life,
but wear is always going on just as

Yield of Alfalfa Is In
creased With Sulphur
IF. |. Ballard, Asst Co. Agent
Leader.)

The yield on approximately l00,-
900 acres of alfalfa land in Eastern
Oregon may be increased on an av-
erage of one ton per acre per year
by the application of 100 pounds of
flower of sulphur every four years.
This alfalfa land is located in the
heart of the best range livestock
areas in the state.
Articles regarding the results OBJ
tanned with sulphur in Deschutes
county have been published in many
papers in past years. In that coun-
y seventeen carloads were applied
to alfalfa land within period of
eighteen months and yields were in
creased on an average somewhat
above a ton per acre. II has been
demonstrated, however, during the
past two years, that equally as good
results may be secured in Klamath
and Union counties. In Klamath
county, sulphur is now shipped in in
carload lots under the direction of
the Farm Bureau and is recognized
as staple in agricultural trade Far
mers in Union county have not yet
made wholesale applications, but will
do so this fall.
Sulphu was applied to alfalfa
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1921-06-09

this year for the first time in NAL
heur county, one of the leading range
sheep counties of the state. Reports
from there show that favorable re-
turns were secured, In Umatilla
county, results varying from l3 10
80 per cent increase were secured
this year and in the alfalfa districts
of Wasco, Morrow and Lake coun-
ties, nearly a ton per acre is being
secured. Soils of Wallowa county,
in the northeastern corner of the
state, also respond to sulphur. Fred
Falconer, sheepman of that county
who recently purchased the Cunning
ham Sheep company in Umatilla
county, uses the yellow dust eXten-
sively.
The county agents throughout
Eastern Oregon list sulphur work as
an important part IN their programs
and vigorous campaigns for its gen.
eral adoption will be carried on until
the alfalfa acreage in those districts
responding we'll to its use has been
effectively treated. Sulphur, con-
trary to opinions held some years
ago, is now recognized as a direct
plant food for alfalfa and clover.
There are approximately four pounds
of the yellow element in a ton of al
falfa hay. knowledge of this fact
was obscured in the earlier days of
scientific research in agriculture, by
reason Of the fact that the element
escaped as gas from plant residues
while being burned preparatory to
analysis.
No i'll effects are experienced in
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1921-06-09

arid and semi-arid districts, because
Of the presence Of large quantities
of lime in soils under those condi-
tions. The i'll effects to be expected
are increased acidty, which will pro-
baby limit the use of sulphur in hu-
mid districts. The difference in land
contents between the soils in arid
and humid districts is very great. The
average for the former being 8 per
cent, while the latter average runs
around 10 and Is per cent, Soils
in Deschutes county where the use
of sulphur is more general, run as
high as five per cent in lime content.
Although many serious problems
confront the range sheep men, the
fundamental problem of maximum
forage production which means more
cheap forage, still remains, and the
use of sulphur, the adoption Of
Grimm alfalfa and the building Of
silos are the methods being follow
ed in Eastern Oregon to provide it.

The Toll of Accidents

Accidents kill more people in the
United States in one year than the
much-dreaded scourge of cancer, ac-
cording to a compilation of statistics
just completed by the American Red
Cross. The toll Of accident deaths
in 1918, the latest year for which fig
ures are now available, was $4,000,
the announcement stated.
Automobile fatalities have increas-
ed tenfold during the last decade, the
statement continued, Ninety people

we're killed by automobiles in 1918
compared with ten per million annu-
ally from 1906 to 1910. While slaugh-
ter by automobiles has thus increas-
ed, it is pointed out, the safety move
ment in America has appreciably
reduced the number Of deaths on
railroad and trolley tracks.

WORLDS GREATEST VICTOR
is NO NAPOLEON

Marshal Foch is the greatest liv-
ing soldier, the greatest living gen.
eral today, because he won the great
est war in history. More, he took
command in the midst of the most
dismal defeat and in less than eight
months had ended the war with the
worlds greatest martial victory.
What would Napoleon have done
under such circumstances? Make
himself an emperor, Of course, and
90 in for more wars.
And Foch? He has no such thots.
Listen TO the following extract from
| his speech at the tomb of Napoleon
on the tooth anniversary Of that con-
queror's death. 1t reads like the
speech of pacifst Here are his
words:
"He carries the art of war above
all known heights, but this art pro-
ceeds to carry Napoleon himself to
the region of dizziness. He wishes
to regulate the fate of nations by the
sword, as if one were able to make
the happiness Of a people spring
from victories, painful sacrifices in
themselves.
"As if this people could live by
glory and not by work.
As if the defeated nations, their
independence struck down, would
not be bound to rise some day and
reconquer it. As if, in a civilized
world, moral right would not prove
superior to power resting solely on
force, no matter how talented it
might be.

THE CONFERENCE
By WALT MASON

The heavy nations soon will send
their delegations here, to thrash out
schemes by which to end the present
reign of fear. As things are now we're
all afraid that war may hit us soon;
we tremble when a dog has bayed It's
grievance to the moon. Rhode island
hears a rumor fraught with trouble
and dismay; New Jerseys built an
other yacht, and suffers for a fray
Rhode Island builds herself a barge
her bulwarks to defend, and Jersey
builds one just as large, and so on
without end. The voters raise despair
ing yips while digging up long green;
the money goes for foolish ships that
should buy gasoline. We'll strike,
New Jersey proudly cries, until the
foe expires and socks more taxes on
the guys who'd fain buy rubber tires
Rhode Island says, Our dauntless
souls defy those warlike boobs," and
taxes eat up all the rolls that should
buy inner tubes. And thus 1t IS, the
world around; we can't enjoy a nap
for every time we hear a sound we
think it means a scrap. Through an
mems history there runs the same ole
crazy theme; we're building ships and
buying guns, and peace is but a dream
And when the wise men of the world
| for peace are here convoked, may al
the battle flags be furled, and all the
swords be soaked.
