ADD ACID PHOSPHATE TO
MANURE.

Tests which have been running at
the Ohio Experiment Station for
over 20 years show that substantial
profits follow the reinforcement of
stable manure with acid phosphate
before application in the field.
According to Director c. G. Will
liams, $40 pounds of acid phosphate
added to eight tons of manure, and
applied to corn in a, corn.wheat-
clover rotation has produced in
creases, over the yields from manure
alone, at the rate of $109 per ton of
acid phosphate. While all land
cannot reasonably be expected to
yield the same rate of return, there
is no question according to Director
Williams, but that the practice is a
very profitable one. He suggests
scattering pound or pound and
a half per animal daily in the stall
or manure gutter.

THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCLATION
DELMARVIA FARMERS HAD
LOSING YEAR.

Although there were 10 fewer
failures in Delaware in 1922 than
in 1921, the Eastern Shore of Mary
land and the upper counties of Vir-
ginia, comprising what is known as
the Delmarvia Peninsula, the loss in
money exceeds the total of any year
for the past eight years.
In the nine counties comprising
the Eastern Shore of Maryland,
there were 40 failures. in 1922, as
compared with II in 1921 and SO in
1920. In the two upper counties Of
Virginia there were IL failures in
1922, as compared with 4 in 1921
and 8 in 1920.
Failure of the farmers of Della
ware, Maryland and Virginia to
realize profit on their crops is
given as the chief cause for the
financial disasters in this section.
In many cases the money received
for sale of produce was less than the
cost OF production. This was par
ticularly proved of most of the grain
crops and some Of the vegetables
raised for canning purposes, such as
peas, which were almost a failure
throughout the peninsula because of
insects. The continued dry weather
affected the tomato crop. Many a
farm was saved from failure this
year owing to the crop of apples,
peaches and other fruit, which
grew in abundance.
The canning season was a fair
one. with fhe indications pointing to
it being much larger the coming
year.

MAKE THE ORCHARD PAY.

Bulletin No. 1853 of the Pennsyl-
vania Experiment Station reports
the results of experiments conducted
for ten years in six bearing apple
orchards, located on varying soil
types, two being in sod and four re-
ceiving the usual orchard tillage.
The results demonstrated con-
clusively that proper fertilization is
essential to profitable orcharding
and nitrogen is far and away the
most important factor in orchard
fertilizing. Much better results fol-
low its use in combination with
phosphorus. Potash apparently, is
of doubtful value in this connection.

U. S. PLAN is TAKEN UP
DIRECTLY WITH PARIS
No Formal Protest Made to
Military Occupation, But
Washington's Attitude Made
Known Through Embassies.
Senate Debates Question

PARIS, Jan. 9.-France is ready
tonight to seize the Ruhr at day
break. There are many reasons to
believe that tomorrow's sun will dis
close French airplanes lowering
over Essen, while long string of
tanks crawl into the Krupps home
in advance of foot and horse
troops.
The zero hour has been fixed,
but until the occupation army
marches, the time, place, manner
and exact detectives are held by the
government as military and po-
litical secret.
France late today notified Eng
land Through the French ambassador
at I.ondon, and the American am
,loassadors at Paris, and P-ussels
were informed by the French and
Belgian governments, respectively,
what France plans ITO do. The
French tonight are also armed with
the PREPARATIONS commissions decla-
ration that Germany is in voluntary
default in coal deliveries; so there is
no apparent cause fcc further delay.
NJ. Maginot, the war minister,
held a final conference with Pre-
mier Poincare, assuring him that
the army is ready; the technical
men, even emergency crews of rail-
readers and teiegraphers, in case Of
strikes in the Ruhr, are awaiting
orders at Dusseldorf, and the mill
tary escort is impatient to be off.
General dc Goutette with his
staff left Mayence FOR Dusseldorf
Just aheead of the first train-load of
Mayence. troops, and all will be IN
Dusseldorf late tonight
This readiness. however, is no
proof that the French have set their
advance for Wednesday; there may
he delay until Thursday. SO that
Premier Poincare can give Parlia-
incnt the news whi,c it is still fresh
and there. are some who think thai
the Premier may wait until he has
informed the chamber of his plans
50 that Parliament may by vote OF
confidence be responsible for the or
der TO Foch's men-"Take Essen
Whatever date is fixed, there is nc
longer any vague uneasiness that the
United States or Great Britain may
step the ADVANCE by protest. fol
the French government and people
alike consider it quite settled thai
Essen viii be occupied in matter
~ hou.'s or days, and that the pro-
fsressive seizure of the Ruhr can
only be stopped by Germany coming
TO terms.
France is taking the situation with
surprising calm, but there is a very
evident determination to make tn,
ltuhr pressure effective. The post
ing of German proclamations to the
population in the Ruhr district about
TO be occupied is taken as showing
that the German government ha:
abandoned hope of stopping the seiz-
ure and recognizes that NJ. Poincare
really means what he Is reported a.
Z saying about being willing Ito talk
to the Germans in Essen"

Alabama pig iron has sold at S24

Late last week a consumer in a
neighboring state paid $24 for 1000
tons of iron. The maker booking
this tonnage is authority for the
statement that he has booked 5000
livery a that base.
Another maker says he has sold
several thousand tons for second
quarter delivery at s25 and that a
lot of more than 1000 tons brought
that price. This maker has been out
of first quarter market for some
time and has not been pressing sales.
The market has been at s23 and up
to this very recent selling for second
quarter at the adyence, $23 appeared
to be the high mark. Makers new
begin TO look for harening of the
S24 base for second quarter for any
tonnage with tendency to advance
to $25 for those who are late In
coming in.
The soil pipe market has Quoted
down following big buying and the
case remains for the time being at
