Fall Grains Can
Use Soil Foods

The right kind of fertilizer applied
to fall grains will be first class in
vestment, declares DR.. NJ. M. McCool,
head Of the soils department at M. A..
G. Farmers should distinguish care
fully, however, between their treat
ment Of light and heavy soils, if they
expect to obtain the best results.
Light soils need nitrogen and phos-
phorus both, but heavy soils respond
only to phosphorus.
DR.. McCool has the following to
say regarding fertilization of light
soils: "A mixture carrying two per
cent ammonia and twelve per cent
phosphoric acid applied at the rate Of
$50 or more pounds per acre is very
promising and this should be added by
means Of fertilizer attachment on
the grain drill at the time of seeding.
In addition rs to 100 pounds of nj
trate of soda should be added early
in the spring or at the time growth
begins. This may be spread broad
cast by hand"
By delaying this latter operation
until spring the nitrate is not lost
during winter rains and thaws. In
stead of the nitrate of soda stable
manure may be used.
Heavy soils need phosphates in the
main, according to DR.. McCool, and
unless they have been depleted Of
their humus there is no need for ap-
plying nitrogen to them. "The use
of stable manure literally reinforced
with acid phosphate is a very salts
factory procedure for small grains
grown on heavy Soils" says DR.. Nc
Cool. "Not less than 200 pounds Of
l6 per cent acid phosphate or an
equivalent amount of treble phosphate
should be applied per acre and in
many instances 800 pounds would
doubtless be more profitable" Ex-
periments with acid phosphate appli-
ed to oats, wheat and clover on south
crn Michigan farms showed greatly
increased yields.

When labor-saving machinery was

that labor-saving devices merely shift

Did You EUer
Stop to Think?

That if business is falling off, you
should step right out~ef the rut and
increase it by the right kind of adj
vertising?
That getting the business is not
always selfish proposition? Modern
business entails a certain amount Of
service that is of as much interest to
the buyer as to the seller.
That you will find IN the stores Of
your city. the obliging clerks. the
ones who greet you with a smile,
who wait on you courteously, solicit
tous Of your every wish, who are
willing to take the trouble to supply
any information wanted They help
to make better business.
That mail order" houses succeed
because they advertise. You can
beat them at their own game by adj
vertising in your local paper.
That many citizens would be pleas
antly surprised if they were to in
vestigate the various kinds and clas-
ses of merchandise obtainable in
their city. With this knowledge,
they could spend all their money at
home. A dollar spent in your city
helps your city. A dollar spent in
some other city helps that city. Buy
at home.
That your city is the best city in
which to live. Don't hesitate to tell
the world about it.

The Sensitive Nose

Gated, as is generally supposed. in the
nasal passage, but in an area of sen
sitive membrane about the size OF a
dime and located high above each
nostril.
"A portion of the hairiIke tips of
the olfactory nsrves terminating in
this membrane receives the sense
impression and conducts it to the
brain. Because of the position of this
membrane outside the natural path
of the breath. it is necessary to draw
aside a current of air by shifting be-

be detsrmined.
The effects Of snuff and smelling
salts have nothing to do with the
sense OF smell. They react only on
the Innings Of the nasal passages.

able to learn, smells are pigeonholed
in the brain as visual Impressions.
Each smSll carries associations good

That in pursuance OF this promise
deflation was begup soon afterward

That the Democrats. aided by GER
tain Democratic leaders OF labor,
have persistently endeavored to line

The Most Undesirable

PERSON who can see only the possible mis-
u takes Of government officials and blinds his
eyes TO unquestionable and notorious crimes com
mitted by the enemies Of law and order, is at heart
an anarchist, whatever may be his pretensions in
his public utterances. His sympathies are with
the idler, not with the worker. His concern is for
the welfare of the rioter, not for the welfare of the
law-nbiding citizen. He glories in the success of
crime and bewails the supremacy of law. He ex-
ats tyranny by intimidation and destroys respect
for courts. In his zeal for the protection of the
right Of some men TO quit, he has no thought for
the right Of other men to work. He j~ustifies him
self by quoting constitutional guarantees of free
speech, but he is in league with men who defy the
constitutional guarantee of freedom TO live. He
is against this government or any government that
proposes TO protect the rights of all from the brute
force of a few. He is an undesirable citizen in any
country at any time.

The progressive dwindling Of exports shown
ADORE until 1915 comedies with the dwindling Of
shipping during the war. 1t was not until 1919 that
American shipyards began to produce ocean cargo
carriers in quantity.
Export statistics OF other farm commodities fol
lowed variations in the number of American ships
almost as closely as did wheat. This is but one Of
many examples that could be cited Of the need that
has been felt for American merchant ships during
national emergency.
Such need is not confined to abnormal times.
however. Today the whole world is the market of
every producer. The nation that controls transpor.
tation naturally takes preference over all others in
marketing of its own goods.

Chloroform This Tax Raiser

PROPONENTS of the Denison' blue sky have
L once more become active and at a recent con.
ference of securities commissioners of the mideast-
ern states, the opinion vas freely voiced that the
measure would pass the senate and become the law
of the land.
The activity of these commissioners masquerad-
ing in the guise of investment saviors, proves that
the fight is not yet over and that the sentiment of
the west must be marshalled strongly to impress
upon these gentlemen the fact that they have gone
about far enough in hampering legitimate mining.
oil and land development enterprises.
This measure is supposed to prevent fraudulent
use of the mails for stock selling purposes. We al
ready have laws covering this subject and the bill
in no way prevents or penalties fraudulent stock
selling schemes conducted personally.
1t simply makes it harder for legitimate develop
ment Enterprises to do business, adds a hoard of
new officials and inspectors to the public payroll
and increases the general tax burden.
