prepared by the United States Department

Exhaustive experiments with vari-
Gus crops under widely varying soil
and climatic conditions, made by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, have proved hat borax Is detri-
mental to plant growth when applied
In quantities varying from 4 to 70
pounds to the acr., and larger quanti-
ties produced progressively greater in

or less per acre, produced very little
If any effect and were. in fact, slightly
stimulating to certain crops in some
instances. While the harmful amounts
of from 4 to 20 pounds and even
higher occurred in certain fertilizers
during 1919, these have no special prac-
teal application to present conditions
since there is not enough borax in any
American potash on the market to
make such applications possible.
American potash from Searles lake,
California, the commercial output of
which contained borax in 1919. has now
undergone such changes in Its method
of manufacture hat 1t contains only
very slight quantities of borax; n max
imum not to exceed one-half of l per
cent being guaranteed by the manufac-
turers. Five hundred pounds of a fer
tilizer carrying 8 per cent of potash
will contain only Do o. n pound of
borax; 1000 pounds would contain 0.4
of n pound of borax, ana even Il ton
would contain only 0.S of n pound.
Similarly. a ton of a fertilizer carrying
as high a potash content as 10 per cent
would contain only 1.6 pounds of borax.
Ever such heavy applications as a
ton of a 10 per cent potash fertilizer
would supply only such quantities OF
borax as were shown by the work Of
the department, given in Bulletin No.
1126 to be perfectly safe in field prac-
tice.
In all Of the work where COMPARE
sons were made it was shown hat the
potash salt from Searles lake, Cali

borax, gave satisfactory results as
measured by actual yields.

DEFENDERS OF SABOTAGE

With eommendable hrcvity and pontedness. Gov. MeRae. of Arkansas, has just ended a correspondence with the American Civil Liberty Union of New York. relative to the recent labor troubles along the line of thc Missouri X North Arkansas Railway.
 The acts of sabotage alleged to have been committed hy striking railway employees and finally the activities of a citizens committee which resulted in the lynching of an accused member of the union. are of toe recent date to necessitatc review at this time
 Immediately following the lynehias the New York organization wired the governor. asking what the state of Arkansas meant to do about il. The query itself was rather impertinent, but the executive telegraphed Il most courteous reply. informing the union that he condemned the lYnching and other acts of violence. and had not only asked the proper authorities to go into the matter, but had also ar ranged for joint legislative investi- gation.
 The self-appointed inquiSitors in a far distant state however. to whom the governor and people of Arkansas are in no way responsible, seem dis posed to hurry the matter. To that end, another communication was ad- dressed to Gov. McRae, in which II was sought-to put the executive on the witness stand for cross -eXamina- ton. Not only was this communica- tion wholly lacking in the courtesy due the chief executive of a great state. hut il was most extensively

 Under such circumstances it was entirely proper that the governor should have ended the correspondence with the following reply:
 Your letter received. Waiving the di<courteous tone of it, l answer all of your questions in the negative, so far as l have information
 Following the labor troubles grow ing out of the miners and railway employees strikes last year, organiza- lions such as this American Civil Liberties Union have come perilously near to advocacy of anarchistic policies
 Most of them have heaped con dcmnation upon the courts and some of them have placed themselves in contempt Along with their denun- citation of constituted authority be- cause of it's attempt to uphold the law. newspapers that dared print the facts concerning assaults. murders, destruction of property and other ont ragcs have been condemned and ac- eused of trying and convicting arrest ed suspects in their news and editorial columns.
 Yet all the time certain labor pa pcrs claiming to represent the senti- mont of union mon. but in many in stances parading under false cOlors. were usurping the functions of judge and jury in attempts to acquit the accused, when if they knew anything at all as to the facts. they knew them to be otherwise than as they represent ed
 So mtenable has been the position taken hy some of the editors of so- called" labor papers and self appointed leaders of union organizations that conservative members with the vel fare of the organizations at heart have repudiatcd their attitude No blue union man will countenance acts of sabotage under any circum= stances. regardless of an attempted defense by radicals.
 The people dependent on the Mis- souri X North Arkansas Railway for transportation of commodities showed commendable patience during the ire quent= ontrages growing ont of the strike It was a matter of self-pro- tection that spurred them to action in an effort to secure adequate train service.
 The lynching of striker and other acts of violence that resulted are op- probrious and have been condemned. X citizens committee has no more right tO take the law into its own hands than has a gang of aggrieyed radicals
 Gov. McRae, in effect, so expressed himself immediately following the lynching But the machinery of the law has been set in motion. We have far more confidence in the motives of the governor and the people of Arkan- sas and their ability to see that justice K done than We have in a clique of partisans thousand miles away. who care nothing for circumstances or fact and stand ready to aeQuit without hearing a scintilla of eyidence.-Com- mereial Appeal.
