Rich From Speculation

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Os-
borne Cutler Wood, son and aide OF
Governor General Wood Of the Phil
lippines, has resigned from the army
in which he held a commission as
second lieutenant and the resigna-
ton has been accepted by President
Coolidge.
No reason was made public at the

that the resignation was effective at
once. Lieutenant Wood several
weeks ago, however, after he had
made a fortune estimated at $780,.
0G0 by trading in wall street, said
he intended to resign and enter the
diplomatic service. No application
nas been received as yet at the state
department from him for such serv-

Lieutenant Wood was granted
leave of absence more than two
months ago and left Manila for the
United States by way of Europe.
Although his whereabouts has not

Information Relative to Soy Beans

Fl. E. s., Toomsboro, Ca,
writes: 7 am going to try few
acres in Laredo soy beans What
fertilizer should I use on medium
to poor sandy land with clay
subsoil?
AS a rule, leguminous crops do not
need to be supplied with any nitro
gen. Sometimes, when planted on
a new soil area, it is good practice.
however, to use a little nitrogen.
Particularly is this true when the
land is thin or poor. Under the cir
cumstances described in your letter,
therefore. we would be disposed to
use a little nitrogen. Naturally, this
legume should be supplied. with a
liberal amount Of phosphoric acid
and potash. These are elements in
which sandy soils are likely to be
more or less deficient. Legumes also
respond to applications of calcium.
To this end, we suggest that you
proceed as follows:
Prepare a formula containing
per cent nitrogen, 10 per cent phos-
phoric acid, and 5 per cent potash.
Apply this formula at the rate of
500 pounds per acre. You will pre-
sumably wish to plant the soy bean
in drills, and. therefore, we advise
that the fertilizer be mixed with the
soil before the crop is planted. Acid
phosphate may he used as the car.

Supplying Needs of the Peanut

Supplying Needs of the Peanut
Crop
w. z. B., Wadley, Ga. writes:
[ am going to plant about 100
acres in peanuts this year, and
want your advice as to what is
the best thing to fertilize these
with.
The peanut belongs to the family
of legumes. 1t is d crop appreciatlVe
Of calcium. This is an element fur
nished most cheapIy through the,
agency Of raw, lime rock. If it is
crushed very finely so much the
better. ] would suggest that you
use a minimum of 500 pounds of this
material per acre. / think it will be
better to apply 1000 pounds. Scat
ter it broadcast over the land inn
mediately and harrow it into the
soil. DO not mix it with the fer
tilizer. When you are ready to plant
the peanuts, put under the drill row
Va minimum application Of 300 pounds
Of q formula containing 10 per cent
phosphOric acid, l per cent nitrogen,
and per cent potash. IL makes no
difference from what source these
materials are obtained. as the pea
nut is not sensitive as to the source
from which phosphoriC acid, nitro
gen, or potash is derived. The pea
nut is a rather gross feeding crop.
The fact that it is "A leGume has
led many people to believe that it
can gather all the nitrogen it needs
from the air and therefore does not
need to be fortified with this element.
This is a mistake; particularly on
very thin soils or where the crop has
never been previously grown. This
crop also draws heavily on phos-
phoric acid and potash. The best
type Of land on which to grow pea
nuts is not particularly rich in these
elements. Most of these are sandy
lands, and would be, classed as rela-
lively thin soils on that account. We
believe, therefore, that the use Of
500 pounds of fertilizer will prove to
be more desirable than the use of
800 pounds. In the case Of extreme
ly sandy soils, it may be good prac-
tice to use 2 per cent of nitrogen.
We do not think commercial in
oculation Is essential. 1t is impor-
tant that a good variety Of peanuts
be selected to plant. For CONNER
cial purposes, the White Spanish is
probably one Of the best varieties to
use. Relatively early planting and
rapid cultivation is desirable with
this crop. Keep it free of weeds and
grass. The use Of limo tends to re-
duce the number Of pops materially.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

cheney expert and teach some Of the
women who think that they are
having q hard time, muddling
through the same tasks that you do,
how to make their work easy.
But you are making one mistake,
Mrs. G. Any woman who has an
cighteen-year-old daughter should not
have to sew for her or work for her.
She should have taught the daugh-
ter to be her helper.
DOROTHY DIX.
Dear Miss Dix have been mar
ried six years and have two beauti-
ful children. l would be perfectly
happy il my husband would only
listen to me. How can l make him
do my way? A. b, Z.
Answer:
The t!me.honored way of q wife
making her husband listen to ,>her
is by nagging. Eve started it in the
Garden of Eden when she talked
Adam into eating the apple. But
consider where it got her, and where
it gets every other woman who prac-
tees it. The divorce court and pool
rooms are full of men who have
been nagged into them.
But why do you want to force
your husband to do your way? Are
you sure that you are so much wis
er than he is? Are you certain
your way is the best way? Have
you made a much greater success
OF life than he has? Are you sure
you could manage the family affairs
better than he does?
1t is a curious thing that the ones
in the family who are determined
to rule it never take into consid-
GRAFTON their own qualifications as
dictator.
Believe me, A. B. c., you will not
make q happy home by trying to
force your husband to do your way
and nagging him because he won t.
There is no quicker way to Kill love.
And before you know it your hus'
band will take up a sullen, resentful
attitude toward you. He will come
to hate his home because 1t will
mean to him a place Of perpetual
friction and arguments.
If you want your husband to con
tinue to love you, give him the right
to his own opinion and the chance
to settle his own problems in his
way. There is no other one thing
that so endears us to those about us
to grant them personal liberty.
Furthermore, you will be far more
able to influence your husband Il
he knows that you are liberal ant
reasonable, and are not trying to in
terfere with him, than you will be /.
| he realizes that you are determined
to boss him. That makes him pu
| his back up and determine that he
won't be henpecked.
DOROTHY DIX,
