MISSISSIPPI
sweeps AWAY
MUCH WEALTH

Lexington, Ky, May S.-More of
the plant elements that help to
make bumper crops in the Ohio and
Mississippi valleys is washed into
the Gulf of Mexico annually than
is used by crops as they grow to
maturity, according to bulletin
on The Removal Of Plant Food by
Natural Drainage" just issued by
the Kentucky Agricultural Expert
ment Station The bulletin is the
result of research work by DR.. j, S.
|McHargue, one of the station chem
lists.
The two great rivers annually
wash away total of 47,822.574
tons of the six elements that fur
nish food Tor plants, according to
the bulletin. The cash value of
these lost elements is placed at ST.
075, 088,324. The Mississippi river
alone, it is asserted, annually emp
ties more than one and one-half
billions of dollars worth, washed
laway from points along its banks,
into the Gulf of Mexico, every year.
If all of the sources of plant food
loss from the soil could be accounted
for, said the chemist, it is probable
that the portion removed permanent
ly by crops, in any System of farm
ing, would be found extremely small
in comparison with the amount lost
through drainage waters. This, he
says, is one of the problems of ag-
riculture to which farmers have
again given little attention.
Material for the bulletin was oh
tanned by DR.. McHargue by analyz-
ing scores of samples of water taken
from springs and streams through
out Kentucky and other states.
Five gallons of water were contain
ed in each sample. The tests were
for the phosphorus potassium, nj
trate-nitrogen, calcium, magnesium,
sulphur, sodium, chlorine and man
ganese they contained.
Besides the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers, the chemist took samples
from the Kentucky, the Licking, the
Tennessee, the Cumberland and the
Green rivers.

ing these days.
The newest invention is that of
the engine designed by II. Fl. Elmer
of Syracuse, N. Y, which he is
quite sure will run an automobile
800 miles on a gallon of fuel. No
carburetor is necessary. Any kind
of oil can be used, mineral, ami
nal or vegetable. "The chemistry
of oil, a" whatever that phrase may
mean, is the basis of the alleged
discovery.

ticable and far ahead of the times
If it comes up to the hopes of the
inventor, revolutionary changes may
be expected in automobiles.

WHITE HOUSE PICKETING.

The public is bound to approve
of the announcement that the Presi-
dent will pay no attention whatever
to White House 'picketing," except
possibly to ignore those responsible
for the picketing more pointedly
than he might do if they used more
legitimate methods.
The particular case drawing forth
this announcement, the use of chill
dren to interest the president in the
liberation of political prisoners, u
we'll illustrates the objectionable side
of this practice. Perhaps those
prisoners ought to be pardoned, but
the Haunting of children for pub
licity purposes does not solve the
problem and has no proper connec-
ton with the purpose of those put
ting them forward.
Picketing the White House has
become a favorite device, in these
last few years, for propagandiste
and sensationmon who happen
to espouse any cause, good or bad
1t is nonsensical and un-American
business, which deserves to be
stamped out in the interest of san
ity and public decency. The orderly
processes by which people formerly
gained the attention Of governmental
leaders still exist, and might be used
by present-day reformers to better
advantage than the hysterical and
insolent devices that many of them
seem to prefer.

SPEED ARITHMETIC

Somebody with head for figures
has worked it out that driving six
miles through a city at 80 miles
an hour only gets you where you
want to so five minutes sooner than
driving at 20 miles an hour.
The difference in danger between
20 and 80 miles an hour in traffic
lat all heavy is very great. And aft
err the speedster has saved his five
minutes, or less, what is he going
to do with it?
A doctor says strong person

EUROPEAN FRONTIERS.

Lloyd George, in his capacity OF
super-premier, is now engaged with
the problem OF national frontiers
and with good reason. Most of the
wars in history have started over
territorial disputes. From prece-
dent, then, Europe is surely full OF
the seeds Of new wars.
AS Lloyd George told the CORE
spondents at Genoa the other day,
there is not border line from the
Baltic to the Black Sea that is ac-
cepted by all Europe, So the boun-
Diary problems have to be taken up
at Genoa, in spite of the supposed
rule aginst political subjects, be-
cause they are fundamental to the
peace, of Europe and therefore fund
amenta1 to economic reconstruction.
1t is doubtful, though, whether
anything final can be accomplished
at Genoa. The boundary quarrels
affect too many nations and are too
complicated What could be done,
presumably, WOULD ne To IuTU tltul
over in a body to some recognized
tribunal with leisure and authority
to handle them.
There is The Hague Tribunal,
though it does not amount to much
now There is the new World Court
established by the League of Ma
tions, which is doubtless competent.
There is the League Council, too.
The league now embraces nearly all
the European nations except Ger
many and Russia, which are the
two biggest trouble-makers, actual
and potential From this distance
it looks like the logical thing to
take the remaining outsiders into
the league, and then let that. body
handle the boundary disputes. 1t
was for such work that it was ere
ated, and its most effective work
so far has been along that line.

ORIG TRAFFIC.

Narcotic indulgence and prohi-
bition are bracketed, says the
Rocky Mountain News For the
time being, it is true, no doubt,
that some increase can be observed
in the demand for drugs from unfor-
Inmates who We're given to liquor
indulgence; but those who use the
increase in narcotic addiction as
plea for the return of the saloon
are blindly selfish or illogical The
laws against both can be enforced
if the public will insist upon their
enforcement"
This is a brave statement. and
one that is rather unusual. Many
people have taken it for granted,
when they thought of the matter
at all, that the withdrawal of liquor
meant an inevitable increase in
the use of drugs. Much has been
made of the increase as an anti
prohibition argument But it is
not necessarily an argument at all.
Many victims of drugs never drank
They have been lured directly into
addiction by people who wanted to
made money out of selling drugs.
