GREAT PAYING COMBINATION
Lequnes and Live Stock Are Advo-
Gated by Missouri College at
Big Stock Show.

A feature Of much interest and
value Of the American Royal Live
Stock show at Kansas City was the
exhibit of the Missouri College of Ag-
riculture. The message conveyed by
this exhibit is summed up in seven
words: "Legumes and Live Stock,
the Paying Combination"
The possibilities of live stock farm
ing were shown in the central section
of the exhibit and the truth is empha-
sized that more and better live stock
will mean greater wealth and salts
faction for the farmer and greater
prosperity. .5..
Legumes were in turn shown to be
essential to the production of more
and better stock by building more
productive soil as well as supplying
protein feed cheaply.
Every step in growing clover was
shown in this eXhibit-frOm lining

naly, as the hours wore on, he de-
cided to leave the matter in Chester's
hands. After all, as his senior, he
was perhaps emitted to a first deci-
sion.
Meanwhile the other man wrestled
with no difficulties whatever. John
must be the man to go. He, Chester
Haynes, sacrifice the practice he had
so carefully built up and which was
proving remarkably lucrative in order
to spend months in some God-forsaken
spot treating foreigners? But more
to be considered than that was the
fact that with John out Of the way,
Mary would surely succumb to his
woolng, which should be as ardent
and persuasive as he could make it.
And Doctor Haynes unquestionaEly
had a way with women.
The two men met on their hospital
rounds next morning. "Well?" said
John abruptly.
Take it," said Chester. you de-
serve it. You're the better man for
the job and | yield to you" His
words conveyed sense of self-sacri-
flee decidedly at variance with the
truth.

Now that the way was clear, John
realized now much he had longed to
go. His regret at the thought of leav-
ing Maryland without even letting
her know he cared, as Of course he
must do-would come later.
That evening Chester called on
Mary, initiating the first step of Il
well-planned campaign.
II suppose you've heard of John
Bates new job?' he asked casually,
clicking his cigarette ash into a lac
quered tray on the stand beside him.
Mary's brown eyes widened. "New

yet. "Why, yes" said Johns good
friend. zone Of us is able to go

to himself.

INCREASE VALUE OF MANURE
Addition of Phosphate VIII Give Great
Results on Soils That Have
Been Exhausted.

1t cannot be said that the addition
of the phosphate will always double
the value Of the manure, but in some
cases it certainly will. On soils that
have become exhausted through long
cropping to grains, or where live stock
has been fed and shipped for many
years, the phosphate will give great
results. This is because such crops
as grain and live stock carry
away large quantities Of phosphorus,
while nothing is brought back. On
farms where all hay and grain
are fed and all manure saved, the
phosphate will not give such evident
results. You can hardly find q farm
today east of the Mississippi which
does not show a lack of phosphorus,
unless phosphates have been used free
ly. Thus, while the use Of acid phos-
plate may not, in all cases. double
the value Of manure, 1t will always
make 1t more useful, and the plan Is,
on the whole, one of the best that
can be followed

AVERAGE FARM WAGES
ARE REPORTED LOWER
Rate for Male Labor Is Now
$28.97 a Month With Board.
Of Quarterly Reports Sc Per Cent
Stated That Labor Supply Ex.
ceeded Demand, Especially
in Cotton States.

The average rate of wages of male
farm labor for the entire United
States, October l, was $2S97 a month
with board, according to the first of
a regular series of quarterly reports
from 1900 county crop reporters to
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. The average rate for the
year 1921 was S3014. BY the month
without board, the average, October
1, was $41.5S, compared with 1882,
the average for 1921. Day wages,
with board, October q, was $1.57 COM
pared with $1.6S last year, and day
wages without board was S2.0S COM
pared with Sis in 1921.
OF the 1900 reports, sc per cent
stated that the labor supply exceeded
the demand at current wages, 33 per
cent stated that the demand exceeded
the supply, and 81 per cent reported
an even balance. Excess OF supply was
| stated to be most pronounced in the
cotton states, Georgia, Florida, Texas,
| Oklahoma, and Arkansas; also in Mis-
| souri, Nebraska and Kansas. Demand
exceeded supply in New York, Penn
sylvania, Virginia, West Virginia,
North Carolina, and the Pacific Coast
states.

His fellow physician, Chester

"You mean?"

the other frankly.

what he had feared was true. John,

Haynes shrugged his shoulders.
"We1l sleep on It," he said.
The chance had come for one of
them to go abroad with a relief COM
mission to study the white plague In
eastern European regions devastated
by the war and resultant famine. Both
men had specialized along that line,
although recently Haynes was devel-
oping a more or less general practice
among the city's well-to-do and even
socially prominent families. This ex-
perience abroad would mean contact
with well-known continental physi-
clans and would endow the man who
underwent it with worthwhile author
ity on his return. To be sure, 1t
meant certain hardShips and an in
definite absence from home.
That night John felt himself pulled
in two directions. His professional
ambition urged him to accept the OPP

secured. The tests showed that the
total loss in weight from the cooler
to the end Of the retaining period Of
oily pork was 1885 per cent of the
chilled weight and was the same as
that of firm pork. The shrinkage in
soft pork was nearly 16 per cent or
POI per cent more than that Of either
the firm or oily pork.
There seemed to be no difference
in the flavor or keeping qualities Of the
three grades Of pork. A marked diff
ference was noticeable in the general
appearance of these grades, and the
tests indicate that the trade preference
for firm pork is largely due to this
consideration. Oily pork retains a
yellowish cast and when cut the meat
is oily and soft. This renders it less
attractive than the solid, white, and
comparatively dry meat from firm
hogs.

Indian Legends Of Natural Gas.

Many places in America are today
lighted entirely by natural gas. The
first town to use this form Of illumina.
ton was Fredonia, N. Y, early in the
Nineteenth century. Indians formerly
inhabiting the region had legends Of
burning springs in Canadaway creek, a
little stream running through the
town. Children of the early white set
tiers amused themselves by setting
large onion stalks over assures in the
slate rock at the bed of the stream,
packing them around with sand, and
lighting the gas which emerged from
the top. The first gas well, tapping a
pocket 200 feet below the surface, was
drilled in 1926, the year Lafayette
made his last trumphal tour of Amer
lea. A lead pipe was laid on the top
of the ground to pipe the fluid to the
tavern where he was entertained when
he passed through the town on his way
from the West. Lafayette commented
on tie new light in his journal, still
preserved in Paris.

she gave her niece little respite in

thought that otherwise he would have

would be difficult without letting her

Poor, deluded John! AS if Mary
hadn't guessed long since the state OF
his affections. 1t takes so slight a
betrayal Of voice or look or gesture
to tell such news to the most stupid
of girls, and Mary Hamre was an ex-
