Much Phosphate Wasted
in Manner of Applying

Farmers who desire TO get the full
dollar values from phosphate fertiliz
ers are warned by members of the
soils department at Michigan State
college that the method of applying
this plant food is very important on
some soils.
On many heavy, upland soils, broad
cast applications of phosphates will
not be effective. the specialists say.
The character of such soils prevents
the free movement of surface water
into and through them and The ph0s
phOrOus which has been sOwn on the
surface does not penetrate to the soil
depths where the plant roots are TAX
ing up food.
Broadcast applications of phOs.
pilates are successful on iighi, porous
soil where the free movement of WA
ter carries the plant food to the
proper depth.
Tests made by the soils department
nave shown that when phosphate fer
tiiZers are sOwn at depth OF -four to
six inches proper Distribution of rhe
plant food will follow. even on heavy
soils. Fertilizer drills will ger tne
material into the ground at the proper
depths.

Erosion Continues to

Erosion continues TO wash away the
soil resources OF the nation. A re-

AND ITS PEOPLES

THE RELIGIONS PROBLEM
IN INDIA

THE existence of over seventy mil
L lion Mohammedans in India is the
most formidable obstacle ir the way
of those whose battle cry is India
nation" The startling fact that no
Mohammedan can have a Hindu rela-
tion and vice versa is an indication of
the nature of the obstacle.
The gulf which separates the Mo-
hammedan from the Hindu is a wide
one owing 10 the difference of their
social systems. That of Hinduism is
exclusive. while thar of Mohamlaedan-
ism is communstic. Under the Hindu
social system men are graded minute
ly and segregated. as il were. in an
infinite number of water-tight com
partlnents; under Islam all men are
equal. Hinduism is aristocratic: Mo-
hammedanism is essentially demo
cratic
at Indian railroad stations separate
supplies of drinking water are provid-
ed for MOhammedanS and HinduS.
Hindu veneration for the COW as
sacred animal is very real. and the
slaughter of cattle causes ilindn 10
experience feelings of positive pain.
On the other hand, the religious oh
servanceS of the Mnhammedan demand
the sacrifice of the cow. This is an
ever-preSent source of trouble between
the two. Again. Hindu images and
idols in their temples are an Offense
against the MOhammedan belief in rhe
existence of but one Supreme Being.
Another divergence between The TWO
exists in the matter of language. The
classical language of the Hindus is
SanSkrit, those of the MohamnedanS.
Arabic and Persian. And just aS Hindi
may be said TO be the spoken Ian
guage distinctive of the Hindus. so
may Urdu be said TO be the distinctive
tongue of the Mohammedans. Hence.
the teaching or the omission of the
one or the other in Indian SchoolS is
a potential source of dissatisfaction
But perhaps the most striking con-
traSt between Islam and Hinduism is
observable in their architecture. Mo
hammedan architecture is notable for
its purity of outline, its simple gran
deur and statelinesS whereas Hindu
architecture is characterized by an
amazing eXuberance or Ornamentati0D
and an elaborate intricacy OF design
The architecture of these people rep
resents the embodiment in wood and
stone of their ideas. particularly in
the realm of religious thought. Thus
the same divergence which is notice
able in the character of their buildings
is to he found in their conceptions of
the spiritual world.

When the first rush came to Nome among the earliest supplies landed upon the beach was Carnation Milk, product of a condensery located a few miles from Seattle.
 Ever since that time the milk from Contented Cows has been standby in this territory and as the years have passed it's fame has spread until it is known from the Arctic Circle to Australia and east and west around the globe. Every day more than million cans of this milk are used and it requires 45 condenseries to pro- vide the supply.
 Naturally Carnation Milk could not have attained the position of the worlds largest selling evapor- ated milk unless there were some basic reason for it's superiority. Millions of people do not prefer any particular product without some cause. It is too often the

 Probably the most distinctive feature about Carnation Milk is the exceptional care used in it's production and the way the supply of fresh milk is protected at the source. Ii is well known that milk requires more care in production and handling than almost any other food product. if it is to be kept pure and wholesome
 Many years ago, the Carnation Company took unusual steps to safeguard its milk supply. Not on ly was the very best equipment provided for conveying milk from farms to condenseries and for its evaporating and sealing, but spec ial measures were adopted to in sure the quality of the milk pro

 All of these special precautions have been taken because the Car nation organizat tion realizes that no evaporated milk can be higher in quality than the fresh milk from which it is produced.

 At the Carnation Milk Farm, near Seattle. there was assembled and developed the worlds largest and finest herd of Holste5n cattle-the breed that experience had shown produced milk most suitable for evaporation. This herd has been used as laboratory for the dev- elopment of improved methods of dairying and from it have gone pure bred animals to improve the herds which supply the Carnation condenseries.
 The Carnation Company also ma intains staff of field men who contantly inspect the herds from which milk is received and who help instruct the ranchers in the most modern methods of handling and protecting the milk.
