Four years ago this coming Sep
TENDER a movement was started by
the First National Fertilizer Confer.
ence, at Louisville, KY, to change
the name of acid phosphate. Follow.
ing this conference, the Association
of Official Agricultural Chemists
voted to adopt the name 'superphos-
phate." This new name was later
accepted by the American Society Of
Agronomy, by the U. S. Department
Of Agriculture, by the railway freight
associations, by the farm press, anc
other agencies. The change was
approved by the next annual con
vention of The National Fertilizer
Association. Today the term 'acid'
phosphate is seldom seen in print,
and in comparatively short time il
will no longer be used by farmers,
Thus can change be brought about
quickly by collective action of those
interested.

RlGHTFUL OWNER
OF WATCH FOUND

The watch which was advertised in
the Plentywood Herald as having been
found by little Glen Gooder, has been
returned to its original owner, Alfred
Erickson, a farmer south of Redstone.
Mr.. Erickson said that this watch
disappeared from his pockets about
six year ago. He always believed that
some light fingered party picked his
pockets.
About four years ago n of the
Highland boys in Plentywood found it
and advertised it in The Herald for
some time but no one claimed it. He
continued to carry it and he, in turn,
lost it Thanksgiving day, after which
it was again advertised in the Her
