Value of MasticatIon.

A good way to form the habit Of
thorough mastication is tc begin each
meal with a small quantity Of very
dry food. In most cases mastication Is
a help to digestion. The only circum-
stances under which 1t Is not advisable
to prolong nastication are where
there Is ali Scess of the digestive
acids in the stomach or where there IL
pain after eating solid foods.

COUNTRY CORRESPONDENCE
VALUABLE NEWS FEATURE

An occasional city newspaper man
pokes fun at the country publisher
because of the contributions made by
country correspondents. The facts are
borne out by observation and expert
ence that the country publisher who is
fortified with good, live bunch of
correspondents from every important
center in the county has a valuable
asset. While some Of the items sent in
are apparently trivial they are no
worse than lot of society stuff that
finds its way into the columns of the
average city daily. To our way of
thinking there is no more interesting
department in live country weekly
than the correspondence sent in from
far and near, touching the everyday
activities of the rural population. It
is good plan to make these CORE
spondents realize the importance of
their work. Many publishers do this
by holding picnics occasionally in
which the correspondents from all ov-
er the county participate, providing
their own program, with the editor
present to give talk on their special
work and direction for its improve
ment.

FERTILIZER FOR THE APPLE
ORCHARD

Fruit growers everywhere are rec
ognizing the value and Importance OF
proper fertilization in the production
of maximum crops of high quality. In
other words, the chief problem con-
fronting the fruit grower is that of
securing a good yield at the least pos
sible expense.
According to statistics that are
available from the recent census pub
lshed by the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture, the State of Delaware leads
the Union in the number of bearing
apple trees per square mile. The Dia-
mond State can boast of 548 trees, and
Kent County is situated in the heart
of the fruit producing section of the
State. The industry is rapidly increas-
ing, and the growers are giving more
attention each year to the fertility
problems for they consider these ques-
lions as the most essential factors in
the entire fruit game.
Ordinarily if one blossom out of
thirteen produces fruit there will be
good crop, providing other factors
are favorable. It frequently happens,
however, that only one blossom out of
fifty or one hundred sets fruit. InVes-
legations have shown that a close re-
lationship exists between the nitro
gen supply in the twig at blOssOming
time and fruit setting, and that by the
proper use of fertilizer the fruit grow
er can, in large measure, control
not only the setting of the fruit, but
the formation of fruit buds as well.
Since an abundant supply of nitro
gen in the tissues of the tree at bios
soming time is a prerequisite to fruit
setting, an application of available nj
trogen should be given the trees pro-
vided they need it for maximum fruit
production. This material should be
applied around the trees at blossom
ing time, or a few days before, at the
rate of from four to five pounds per
tree, depending upon the size and age
of each tree to be treated. Expert
ments in which this method of fertil-
ization has been used have shown in
creased yields of from eighteen to
tWenty-four bushels of apples per
tree.
A second problem of the fruit grow
er is to get the trees to produce both
fruit buds and blossoms. Fruit buds |
for the next years crop are formed |
during the summer, and the right con-
1ition for this formation is a high |
starch content in the twigs or tissues
Turing the time the fruit buds form.
Considering the fact that starch is
in the leaves, it devel-
Ups that a good leaf system is neces-
jary.
The application of nitrogen fertiliz-
# to promote leaf development of the
lpple, therefore, should be made in
he fall in order that the tree may go
nto the winter well supplied with nj
rogen to enable it to develop more
nd larger leaves the following
pring. No amount of fertilizer at
losoming time will increase the for
nation of fruit buds for that season.

BORROWER PAYS THE TAX;
BANKERS FINANCE INDUSTRY

| Seventy-five leading bankers of the
Nation, representing twenty-six States
attended the meeting Of the American
Bankers League at Washington last
week, called for the purpose of Civ
ing consideration to the Mellon Plan
Of Tax Reduction.
The Convention, after considering
the Mellon Plan, unanimously APPROX
ed it and called on the Ways and
Means Committee filing with them,
their official endorsement Of this pol
icy of Government.
Hon. Carter Glass, former Secretary
of the Treasury, addressed the Bank
ers meeting and endorsed the princi-
pie of the Mellon Plan and vigorously
opposed the Soldiers Bonus.
The report filed by the Bankers
with the Ways and Means Committee,
stated that the borrower ultimately
pays the tax of the lender, including
income and surtaX; that twenty-five
per cent of the profits of any concern
is the deadline in taxation; that tax
alton is an economic issue and should
be kept out Of politics; that our pres
ent tax system makes it easy for the
public to go in debt and hard for the
individual to get out Of debt; that the
banker would finance agricultural and
productive industry if the Mellon
Plan is adopted; that Surtaxes and
Income Taxes positively determine
he interest rate, or point at which
capital will flow into productive in
lustries, instead Of tax exempt secur-
ties; that the bankers Of the Nation |
ire ready to join in calling halt on
Unlimited bond issues and want to di-
-ert capital to productive industries.

4-FOLD INCREASE in SEED
TESTS in THREE YEARS
Increasing Demand For State Lab
OratOry Analyses From Farm
ers OF State.

How busy the State laboratory of
the State Board of Agriculture was
in the past year may be realized from
the fact that 1855 samples of various
kinds of seeds, fertilizer, feeds, etc.,
were analysed and examined in the
laboratory in 1923. This. number is
about three times the number exam
ined in 1920, when the laboratory was
established. In that year there were
1856 samples examined.
The work for 1928 was divided as
follows: 373 fertilizers; 3S7 seeds; 1T
feeds; 218 miscellaneous,
A bulletin now being prepared for
distribution gives the results of the
fertilizers and seeds examined during
the last half of the year and of the
feeds and miscellaneous for the whole
year. A study of the figures will show
that with very few exceptions the fer
tilizers ran according to their guar
antees, some of the goods running ma
terially higher than the guarantees,
few falling below, and in these cases
the deficiency in one ingredient is US
ually met by an excess of some other.
The seeds for the most part CORE
spond reasonably well with the guar
antees, but there are a number of no
table exceptions, a few having been
examined which carried considerable
quantities of weed seeds and others
which showed no sign of termination
or which ran so weak in termination
that they are practically of no value
for seeding purposes.
The feeds examined, which include
feeds used for cattle, horses, hogs and
are for the most part, accord
ing to guarantees, although a few,
notably those from smaller mills,
show considerable variation. There |
are also more low grade feeds in the
State than there should be- Among the |
many miscellaneous samples examin- |
ed were 124 samples of milk, for the |
most part taken from creameries in |
order to check up on the creamery
tests. 1t is interesting to note that out
Of the 124 samples tested only 8 ran /
below the standard of $3.50 milk fat,
and these 8 ran from 800 to 5000.
The laboratory will now take up the
determination of feeds of various
kinds until it is time to commence tire
spring fertilizer and seed work.

Drowned In F0urche

]. n. Tucker, aged 81, was drowned
in Fourche river near Engelberg Fri
day night when he stepped from a low
water bridge and was swept away by
the current.
Mr. Tucker lived with A. Hausman
of Running Lake and on the night of
his death had been across the river to
get some meat from a neighbor. Rain
had caused the river to rise and about
twenty inches of water was flowing
over the bridge. The night was very
dark and it was raining when he at
tempted to cross. He had the meat,
which he had bought, in one hand and
lantern in the other and it is believed
that he missed his footing when about
the center of the bridge and was swept
off into the deep water.
He was not missed until the next
morning, it being believed that he had
remained on the other side of the river
during the night. When he did not
show up next morning "a search was
instituted and about ten o'clock Sun
day morning the body was found, u
hundred yards down the river from
the bridge.
The funeral was held at Engelberg
Monday morning and the remains laid
Rev. Father Haeringer conducted the
services.
Mr. Tucker came to this county about
fifteen years ago from Missouri. He
has only one near relative here, a half
sister, Mrs Il. A. Layton. He was lik-
ed by everyone who knew him, especial
ly the children, with whom he was a
great favorite.

For Crippled Children

Rev. w. l.. Brown, representing the
Arkansas Children's Hospital, is In
PocahOntas this week. His mission
here is to spread the news Of the open
ing of the hospital and to ask the as
sistance of our people in financial
way.
This hospital is free to crippled chill
dren. Any child of the state who is
crippled or who has been laid low by
any of the many virulent diseases
which disable children, can be taken
to this hospital and treated free Of
charge. Over 100000 has been dona.
ted by Arkansas philanthrOpists and
the hospital building and equipment
are the best that money can buy.
This county should know that Arkan-
sas has modern children's hospital,
built for children whose parents are
unable to bear the expense of hospital
ization and we have many children in
Randolph county who should benefit
from this knowledge.
