Fertilizer for Young
Orchards Must Be Rich

Fertilizer, rich In nitrogen, Is recon.
mended for the young orchard. II tho
trees are beginning to bear II Is n good
Idea to omit most Of the nitrogen and
add more potash and phosphate. The
quantity TO be added will be deter
mined by the fertility of the soil.
II one Is planting the orchard with
m inter-crop. the fertilizer should be
added just after the first spring pillow
Ing. This will afford the fertilizer an
opportunity to help the inter-crop as
well as the young trees,
Experiments prove that II Is not 0
good practice TO apply heavy applica
lions Of commercial fertilizers In the
Immediate vicinity Of the roots. II Is
fnr more desirable to broadcast the fer
tllizer among the rows. Good stable
manure that Is free from weed secd Is
always desirable. 1t may be applied
any time with every assurance of sue.
cess. Many practical orchard men
apply II early In the spring and then
disk II into the soil. Others simply put
Il on the ground and leave IL there
From one to n and one-half tons 70
the acre may be used with no danger
from Injuries. II one does not have
enough fertilizer to 90 around when
applied heavily, Il should be spread
lightly. Better a half ton than none
at all 10 the acre.

Two General Methods of
Keeping Paraffin Liquid

There are two general methods of
keeping parafiin liquid while painting
the silo walls. The best method where
1t can be done is to keep the paraiIin
hot by means of n steam coil, using
steam from a threshing engine. If the
steam is under 100 to 100 pounds pres
sure in pipes surrounding the paraf-
lin pail, it will easily keep the latter
in n melted condition. In many cases
this would be in%convenient for work
Ing in the sllo. In such cases, the par
afin can be melted carefully over a
slow fire, the parafin pail set In a YES
sci Of hot water, and taken 10 the
work In that way. II the surface Is
dry and warm and one works rather
fast, the parafin can be put on fairly
fast in this way.
The other way Is to use about two
gallons Of kerosene TO each three
pounds Of parafIin. heating the kero-
sene with a hot water bath and shay
ing the parafln into IL. This does
not make so heavy n coating as the
paratin alone and two coats will be
necessary where one would do with
the parafin alone. one must be ex-
tremely careful with fire around eth
or paraflin or kerosene. ms they catch
fire easily. Where possible, the water
should be heated and the fire kept en-
tirely away from the kerosene.

Gasoline Is Source
of Serious Danger
Keep Open Lights Out of
Tractor Building.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Gasoline in uncovered receptacles,
particularly when kept indoors. is a
source of grave danger. Even at
ordinary temperatures 1t gives off a
very explosive vapor, the vapor from
a single pint rendering the air in an
ordinary sized room explosive. The
vapor, being heavier than air, sinks
to the ground or floor, and may be
present without It's odor being de-
tected. For this reason 1t is especial
ly hazardous to set n lantern on the
ground or floor near a gasoline con
talner of any kind, ever out of doors.
MS the flame in the lantern may follow
the vapor to the container.
Open-iiame lights should never be
allowed in the garage or building con
tanning the farm tractor or gasoline
engine. Automobiles are sometimes
set on fire through ignition of gasoline
or the vapor therefrom by sparks from
cigars or cigarettes.
The use of gasoline inside the house
for cleaning purposes has resulted in
many destructive fires and numerous
deaths. Often some cleaning agent
that viii not take fire can be used as
satisfactorily as gasoline. Whenever
gasoline is used indoors for cleaning,
it is important that there be no fire
in the room and that the doors and
windows be open so the vapor may
escape. Never use as a c~ontainer for
this liquid n glass jar. bottle or other
receptacle likely to break If dropped
or struck accidentally.
Benzine n naphtha also give off
very explosive vapors, and require the
same precautions in handling as gas
oline.

NEGROES RISE IN
PROTEST AGAINST
POLICE TERRORS
Mayor to Be Forced to
Stop Raids

Negroes thruout the city are voicing
protest against the unwarranted
raids staged on the south side Wed
nesday night by the Chicago police
department, when the police broke IN
to houses, accosted men, women and
children on the street, and destroyed
property belonging to Negroes in the
search for the slayer OF Patrolman
Bonfield. The announcement that the
police have in custody man, not a
Negro, who has confessed to Staying
the policeman, added to the indigna
ton of the Negroes.
Form United Front.
A united front of all Negro organ
izations in the city is being formed
to force the mayor and the police chief
to discontinue wholesale arrests and
terrorristic raids on Negro districts
every time a crime is committed in
which it is suspected a Negro is i'm
plicated.
Prominent Negro leaders are point
ing out that the raid Wednesday was
an attempt of the police to distract at
tention from the inefficiency and cor
ruption in the police department,
which is allowing real criminals to
escape and others to continue opera
tons under police protection.
N. A. A. C. p. Acts.
Friday the Chicago branch OF the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People met in execu-
tive session to draw up formal pro
test to be lodged with Mayor Dever
and Chief of Police Collins. Morris
Lewis, secretary, announced that the
N. A. A. c. P. brands the Wednesday
raid as an Illegal and shameful at
tack on the Negro population OF Chi
cago. "The raid was outrageous" said
Lewis, land such things must be dis
continued There is no justification
for them"
Submits the Facts.
The N. A. A. c. P. will bring to the
mayors attention similar outrages
committed by the police and will also
inform him that no such action is
taken in murder case where only
white persons are implicated.
The American Negro Labor Con
'gress Is also taking up the action of
the police to protect the rights OF
Negro citizens from police onslaughts.
Homes Broken In.
Nearly 500 members OF the race
were rounded up like cattle by the
police. They visited homes late at
night, and when there was delay in
opening the doors, the cops broke
them in. Men and women were stop
ped on the street and forced to sub
nit to searching Of their person for
concealed weapons. Anyone that pro
tested the mad action of the police
was promptly jailed.

SEEK TO DISMISS
SINCLAIR CHARGE:
ON TECHNICALLY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Albert B.
Fall, former secretary Of the interior,
who was acquitted in trial for con-
spiracy with E. l.. Doheny In the
Pear Harbor oil leases, will be ar
raigned Tuesday for conspiracy with
Harry Sinclair IN the Teapot Dome
conspiracy. Fall was to have been ar
raigned Friday for the Sinclair in
dictment, but Justice Bailey postponed
1t until he could hear the argument
for quashing the indictment, which
has been petitioned by SinclalJs
attorneys.
Claims Indictment illegal.
George Hoover, Sinclair attorney,
alleges that the indictment was un-
constitutional and petitions that the
case be dismissed on this account. He
claims that because the district at
torney did not appear when the grand
jury returned its indictment that "Sin.
clair and Fall were singled out for
special manner and method Of prose-
cution wholly different from the
prosecution Of other persons" for SINH.
lar crimes.
II the motion is denied. the new
trial will probably start Jan. Is. The
government in this case will seek to
establish the fact that Fall received
S23O,5OO in liberty bonds from Sin.
clair to surrender the Teapot Dome
oil.
