Now Is The
Time To Apply
Fertilizers
Durdle Discusses Best
Kinds To Use In
Apple Orchards

From the results of all of the fer
tilizer work done through the demon
stration plots we would recommend
the use of nitrates and phosphates in
many orchards of the County These
materials could be applied to the
orchard any time now since the sea-
son has advanced as far as it has, cool
weather having stopped practically all
functions of the tree as far as growth
is concerned. The use of $50 pounds
of ammonium sulphate and 500 pounds
of superphosphate broadcast through
the orchard before any disking is
done and then the orchard thoroughly
disked should put the orchard soil
into splendid condition for next year.
1t has been shown rather recently
that definite ratio exists between
the amount of nitrogen and the
amount of carbon in soil. The car
bon is what makes up the hum, S. If
nitrate fertilizer is added to the
weed and other growth in the soil
together it means that the plant
growth will break down more readily
and be in much better shape to con-
,inue breaking down during the COM
ing year and thus gradually change
nitrates throughout the growing sea-
son.
Phosphates also need the decaying
organic material to help to keep it
available. Hence if both are applied
in the soil and disked in with the
cover crop best results should be OBJ
tanned. In the spring an additional
hundred pounds of ammonium s'sl-
phate might be applied during tile lat
ter part Of April or early May as at
this time the tree draws upon
nitrates very heavily. This application
should very materially help with the
set of the crop.
The soil application could just as
we'll be 1870 pounds of ammophos
1920 plus 800 pounds of superphos-
phase. II is possible that greater
penetration of the phosphate would
be secured with the use of the am
mophos than with the superphos-
phate alone, the anmophos contains
nitrogen and hence the ammonium
sulphate would not be needed. In the
spring one would need to apply the
100 pounds of ammonium sulphatc
the same as where the ammonium
sulphate and super was used in the
soil.
This rate of application given above
is for orchards that are badly in need
OF fertilization. We wish to sound
note of warning that one must be
very careful not to overdo the fertili-
ger program in the orchard and es-
pecially if only nitrates is used. Nit
rates alone, especially if applied too
heavily, will seriously affect the color
ing of the apple to the point where
coloring will not be produced as
early. The use of phosphates will have
a tendency to correct this, but back
Of it all should be careful study OF
the orchard to determine whether
fertilization may be needed. and the
amount to apply. Study your
orchard carefully before determining
fertilizer needed and then fertilize ac-
cording to the lack of color and set
of fruit which you may be getting.

entire REPUBLICAN, COUNTY TICKET,
WITH EXCEPTION OF BROCkHAUSEN, ELECTED
Large Majorities Are Given by Voters to All but One
Of Proposed Measures

Although the total vote in the three
precincts in the northern part of the
county last Tuesday fell slightly I'M
der that cast at the primary, it was
remarkably large considering the
comparatively few contests. I
The chief interest here, as in other
parts of the county, conferred in the
power bill and the race for state rep
resentative. The majority given the
power bill in the Hanford, White
Bluffs and Columbia precincts was
about equal to that given it in the
other precincts In the county, the ra-
ito being about three to four to. one
in favor of the bill.
County Auditor E. o. Keene told
the Spokesman over the long dis
tances telephone Thursday noon that
not sufficient returns had been re-
ceived to give any definite figures
but. from those already in, Hill had
apparently been elected state repre-
sentative by between 800 and 400
majority, while the power bill had a

substantial majority in the county.

substantial majority in the county.
j. K. Mcfarland was elected sher-
iff by a large majority. Interest in
this race was enlivened when G. E.
McClendon, who lost the nomination
on the republican ticket in the pri-
mary, made an eleventh hour entry
as a sticker candidate. While insult
ficient returns had been received by
the county auditor when this was
written to give exact figures, it was
believed that McClendon's vote in the
general election would fall several
hundred under the vote ne received
in the primary.
With the exception of representa-
tive, the entire republican ticket was
elected Tuesday by substantial major
tiles, according to figures available
Thursday noon.
A complete official count of the
vote in the county will he published
next week.

Halloween passed off very quietly
in White Bluffs this year and this
fact was appreciated by everybody.
Some of the younger children enjoy

destruction of property and other acts
of vandalism that have marked some
of the Halloween celebrations OF
former years here were conspicuous
by their absence.

Last Veteran To Quit

T is with tnge of sadness that we note the inten-
/ ton of Congressman Charles Manly Stedman of
North Carolina to retire from public life at the end
of his present term, at which time he will be ninety
years of age.
The sentimental feeling regarding Major Stedman,
which is shared by North and South alike comes
through the fact that he is the last veteran of the
Civil War who will occupy seat in Congress-
Senator Warren of Wyoming the last Union soldier
in that body, died last fall.
Another striking fact about Major Stedman is
that he did Congress until he was seventy
years old, yet elected for ten consecutive terms,
and will have served twenty Representative
when he retires March 4, 1881
Major Stedman was born on January 20, 1s41;
served private, lieutenant, captain and under
Lee, and wounded three times in action He serv-
ed as lieutenant governor of North Carolina before
his election to Congress He is lawyer by profession
On his recent birthday, Congressman Daughton of
his state paid glowing tribue to Major Stedman
which included these words
'He has by his great ability, courtly manners
conscientious devotion to duty his assiduous and I'M
firing energy, rendered service that has commanded
national recognition approval and admiration
To few men has it been given to experience such
long and honorable career. He will leave active
public life with the sincere affection of his fellow coun
trymen. who will wish for him many more years in
which to enjoy his well-earned rest.

History In 500 Words

n rUCH comment has been caused by the recent
MI announcement that former President Coolidge
~ had been asked to write history of the United
States in 500 words, these words to be carved in
stone on the Mount Rushmore Memorial in South Da-
kota.
1t was wondered how Mr.. Coolidge, even with his
unusual nack for terse expression could condense SO
much into few words. Now the task has been simp
lifted for him by the commission in charge of the mem
orial which has decided that the "hstory' shall be
limited consideration of only eight events deemed
the most important in the life of the nation They
these:
Declaration of Independence, 1776; the framing of
the Constitution, 1887; the louisiana Purchase, 1903;
the admission of Texas State, 1915; the Oregon
boundary settlement 1916; the admission of Calfor-
MIA as a State, 1850; the end of the Civil War, 1885,
the completion of the Panama Canal, 1914
Whether these the most important incidents in
history not they furnish ample material upon
which Mr.. Coolidge may exercise his talent for
densaton.

cent statement based on reports made to the c. A.
also indicated that the class of construction and
equipment to be employed will be better than former
ly.
The little old red schoohouse of sentimental fame,
with its fmsy fretrap walls its draughty floors and
poor lighting, has faded into obscurity Yet health

Educational leaders striving to correct this

schools will install dferental heating sys-
TENS while others changing to this scientific
method, thus protecting health and saving at least
fourth of the fuel bill"
Twenty million children in the grade
schools, while other millions overlooking the high

1t is pleasing to note that genuine effort is be-
ing made to provide the oncoming generations with
facilities for health and comfort during study hours.
