HIGHER GRADE FERTILIZERS
MORE ECONOMICAL.

Many a farmer who would not
think of giving his stock a ration
composed principally of sawdust,
feeds his crops with a fertilizer made
up largely of material no better than
sand. A bag Of low-grade fertilizer
may weigh 100 pounds, and its bur
lap bag may be Just as good as that
of high-analysis brand; but since
it contains a proportionately small
supply of plant food. it is a poor
purchase, in the opinion of experts
at the State College. Freight now
comprises more than 500 of the
average cost of fertilizer; and it
takes just as much power to haul
the cheaper grades as it does the
more expensive ones In general, it
is not advisable to buy fertilizer CON
tanning a total of less than ID units
Of plant food As much plant food
can be secured in two tons of 3-12-3
as in three tons of 2-S-2. Carried
still further, this constitutes one of
the good reasons why it pays farmer
to mix chemicals himself instead of
buying ready-mixed goods.

ROBINSON LOSES ON PARTY VOTE
Amendments to the Proposed Four
 Power Pacific Parct Rejected.

Washington. March 14.-After an- other stormy debate, in which possi- ble political consequences of the ad- ministration treaty program were dis cussed from several angles, the Sen ate late today rejected by division almost on party lines the first two of the proposed amendments to the four power Pacific pact
 At the peak of their strength, with II short of the full membership, the opposition to the treaty marshaled 26 Democratic and four Republican votes, within two of third of the
 Senate membership, but three less
 than enough to upset the two-thirds needed for final ratification. if all sen-
 ators participate in that vote. Lead
 CTS on both sides conceded, however,
 that at best the division was but a
 poor index to Senate sentiment on
 ratification.
 The first of the two amendments acted upon was offered by Senator
 Robinson Democrat of Arkansas. It
 provided that the four powers should
 refrain from aggression against non signatory as we'll as signatory na- tions, and that all interested nations, whether signatories to the treaty or not, should be invited to any confer ence over Pacific controversy. The proposal lost, 30 to 55. Later similar amendment in different form was presented by Senator Walsh, Democrat of Montana, and was voted down 27 to 50.
 On both roll calls four Republicans Borah of Idaho, Johnson of California, France of Maryland and LaFollette of Wisconsin, voted in the affirmative, while an equal number of Democrats, Pomerene of Ohio, Ransdell of Louisi- ana, Underwood of Alabama and Will Hams of Mississippi, joined the oppo-

ROAD BUILDING AN ISSUE
Will Be Important Question in Miller
 County Primary.

Texarkana, March 1.-The ques- tion of road building promises to be one of the main issues in the coming Democratic primary in Miller county, especially in the race for county judge. A special road district pro- viding for the building of several ad- ditional roads through the county was created over two years ago by act of the legislature, and it is proposed to build the roads this summer, the money to be raised by tax on all real estate in the county.
 Much objection is being voiced a. gainst building the roads at this time, especially by farmers in the south portion of the county, who insist that times are so hard that the burden would be greater than they could bear. Many say they favor building the roads, but insist that it is neces- sary to wait until business conditions get better. Some of them declare that to pay the additional tax would bankrupt them.
 A peculiar feature of the situation is that fact that the idea has become general over the county that the county judge would have the power to hold off road building at pleasure; hence the bringing of the question in- to the case as an issue in the race for that office. Lawyers and officials however, who are in position to know, declare that the county judge would have no such power, no option what ever in the premises. But despite these opinions, candidates for the county judge are being advised by the voters that they will have to 'line up" on the question.
