been to make it more than ever
determined to stand by its demands
that agriculture shall receive as fair
deal as banks, railroads and the
manufacturing industries.

Inquiries have come to the Depart
ment of Agriculture for information
in the matter of making what are
frequently termed compost heaps
Back of all these inquiries is a de-
sire to practice throughout 1922 true
economy in saving all the waste Of
stable and cow lot. This viii be ac-
complished by the process of COM
posting all such waste, supplemented
with certain fertiliizng clements and
material.
The process of composing is very
simple, but the work must be meth
odically and carefully done If va
cant shed be at hand, by all means
utilize the space and especially the
covering, by making the compost
heap at that point If the heap must
be made in the open, then one should
provide planks or other suitable ma
terial to construct covering that
viii protect against rainfull. If the
covering be neglected or be only
halfway device, better abandon The
compost idea altogether.
The first step is to put down
layer of peat, earth mold or fine
earth, say six to twelve inches in
depth--covering the space which you
have marked Ga given number of
feet long and wide) for the heap.
Follow with layer of fresh stable
manure of depth of foundation
Over the manure, distribute freely
16 per cent acid phosrhate-say an
inch to two inches in depth. Follow
with peat, wheat or oat straw or other
vegetation. Do not use weeds. Why
not? Because the seed of weeds
may live through the composing pc
Rod and be spread over your fields
every kind is to destroy them Cut
them down--young and old; cXtir-
pate them, that is to say, dig them
up by the roots; then burn them.
1t is very important that the ma
nure be moist; if dry or moderately
dry, sprinkle it with water judicious-
ly--not too much, not too little. Six
or eight weeks having elapsed, have
the heap carefully "forked over"
from top to bottom. Have an eye to
the condition of the heap as to mois-
ture. If lacking supply it. As soon
as the work of forking over has been
accomplished, rebuild the heap, and
if in the open, cover carefully.
The moderate application of water
and, also, protection against too
much; water are two important face
tors in the successful making Of a
compost heap. | particuarize; be-
cause so many of us are in the habit
of sneglecting essentials solely for the
reason that they are too much trou-
ble'!
Peat is recommended; if not avail
able straw, because both are alb
sorbents. They take up liquid man
ure which is so valuable.
If, on your land there is a creek
or spring bottom, you will find either
peat. or that which is next to it

VALUE OF NEWSPAPERS

Recent educational tests have shown a de- r!orabc lack of knowledge of current events among pupils of high schools and students of colleges Some of our higher institutions of learning have recognized the need of greater attention to the subject, and are instituting special courses with that end in view West Point Military academy is an example. Two metropolitan daily newspapers are delivered to each cadet daily, and he is expected to ra- port to his class the items of interest con. talncd therein, and give to each its proper news value The same sort of instruction should he adopted in other schools.
 Already commercial interests have scnscd the need of greater attention to current events in the schools, and have undertaken to publish sheets purporting to give condensed daily resume of important news. But knowl- edge of current events gained from such sources is bound to be influenced by the economic and political belief of the compiler and editor; in fact, one such periodical is rcdoIcmt with propaganda in advocacy of American membership in the League of Ma tions. Far better is it for regular daily newspaper to be the subject of class study than for the pupils to be given one of those inspired sheets. Occasionally teacher will be found who will pervert his teachings of current history to suit his own prciudicc1 opinion, hut the majority will treat the sub. jcct fairly, and certainly the average of newspapers and the average of teachings thcrcfrom will rank higher than anything gloaned from the canned "currcnt events" So often served mp to unsuspectng students.

PROGRESS ALREADY

It may be said that already the almamcnts conference has accomplished actual results Japan, as the date of the meeting approaches. appears stimulated to great cNcrtion to settle some of the dsquioting Pacific and A~iatic questions before the conference iS called to order on Armisticc day. For some time Toko has been in communication with Washington in an cndcavor to reach a settlement of the lap problem and the question of cable com mmcation involved therein. Japanese rrIa- tions with Siberia have also formed a sub icct for recent diplomatic exchanges and the return of Shantung to China promises to be an event of the near future as the outcome of negotiations between Japan and China. With those three agreements conSummatrd before November II, of course their consideration will be removed from the conferences, but President Harding can claim credit for hast cning their solution and reducing by that much the probability of future wars

WAY IS SEEN FOR GERMANY TO
 RECOVER
cRy International News service)


 BERLIN. Sept 30. - Enormous profits made on Appreciated United States federal bonds after the Civil war gave Germany the financial start for her wide industrial expansion. ac- cording to Berthold Arons, of the Der line banking house Of Arons & Wal. ters.
 The beginning Of my banking career, which dates back to 1866 was occupied with Germanys purchase and sale of American bonds" declared Mir. Arons to the International News Service At that time, immediately after the Civil war. the confederate bonds were worthless and the north ern states paper money had depreci- ated to a rate of between 30 to 40 cents to the gold standard.
 Berlin cleared between four and five million dollars worth of business daily and all the available savings of private investors went into North American securities at these very low prices The per cent bonds bought below 40 were sold as high as 105 The tremendous profits were the founda- tions of some of Germany's largest en- terprises today.
 "Conditions are reversed today; we must sell our securities to America at very low rate. America has the worlds money; only America can make us the loan which will be neces. sary to stabilize the mark and put Ger many on a sound basis"

 MONTROSE. Colo. Sept 30. - Ra, dium ore may become one of the lead. ing fertilizers for trees and plants as q result of experiments being made from the ore mined in this region.
 Luther Burbank. the California plant wizard" will use radium ore in experiments to develop new plants, aC. cording to Henry A. Adrian. associate of Burbank, who recently investigated the value of radium ore in aiding nature
 Experiments made here it is de. Clared. indicate that the use of radlum ore around the roots of newly planted trees has resulted in wonderfully rapid growth of poplars. Experiments with sweet peas and other plants and flow CTS show, it is said, that the use of radium ore results in much faster growth and more luxurious bloom than those not treated with the radium ore.
 The belief is expressed here that "a. dium action has the same effect upon plant as upon human life, stimulating the healthy tissues, so that they de- velop faster and overcome any ten denCy to become diseased. gradually overpowering the weakness of the diseased tissues surrounding them.
 Radium ore. it is declared, can be sold profitably at S1O0 per ton. and, as only fraction of a pound is necessary for the fertilization of a tree, it Is believed the ore can be readily mar keted for fertilizing purposes.

RAISING THE BARS

The American Bar Association would make the practice of law even more of closed shop than it now is. 1t would elevate the intellectual and moral standards of the pro fession by requiring as a condition of prac- ticc before the courts of any state, two years of a college course and graduation from law college. In many states an applicant now has to pass an examination before a commission of attorneys quite regardless of other prepara- tion.
 It is mighty lucky thing for a great many lawycrs state supreme court judges and dis tIict, as we'll as federal judges, that they crawIcd under the tent before any such re Uuircmputs were thought of. Had such rules been in operation in their youth they would now be hcwcrs of wood and drawers of water, or of some other vocation, but not of the law. They never saw the inside of d college, many did not graduate even from d high school, yet they have won great distinc- ton i'll the profession.
 Of the present members of the supreme court of the United States the majority, while graduates of colleges, gained in their college courses what is but little more than equivalent of the prcscnt-day high school requirements for graduation. There are in congress men of high rank in the law whose acuuaintancc Nlln a cOlIcGr mas Dttn OnIN III paNlnG taxes to help support them. If college course is essential to success at the bar, history fails to record the fact.
 There may be good reason why only college boys should become lawyers, but there is noth- ing i'll college course essential to full service iu the profession, which cannot be acquired, as in the past, by just hard work, with books, any old place. College might make it easier, and making it easier might spoil an other wise fine lawyer. Every boy should go to college who can, but no vocation should be closed to boy who cannot, simply because of that fact-not in the United States
