AFTER DEATH
PROBATION
IS TOPIC
Subject of Lesson-SermOnS
In All Churches of Chris
tian Science Faith Tomorrow

Probation After Death" is the
subject of the lesson-sermon in all
the Churches Of Christ, Scientist,
tomorrow. The golden text is
from John 5:25:
"VeriIy, verify, I say unto you,
the hour is coming and now is,
when the dead shall hear the
voice Of the Son Of God; and
they that hear shall live"
Amongthe citations which COM
prise the lesSon-sermon is the fol-
lowing from the Bible:
"T will hear what God the
Lord will speak: for He will
speak peace unto His people,
and to His saints, but let them
not turn again to folly. Yea,
the Lord shall give that which
Is good; and our land shall
yield her increase. Righteous
ness shall go before Him; and
shall set up in the way Of His
steps," Psalms 85:8, 1919
The lesson-Sermon also includes
the following passage from the
Christian Science Text Book,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures, by Mary Baker
Eddy:
every day makes it demands
upon us for higher proofs rather
than professions of Christian
power. These proofs consist
solely in the destruction of sin,
sickness and death by the power
Of spirit, as Jesus destroyed
them. This is an element Of
progress, and progress is the
law of God, whose law demands
of us only what we can GER
tainIy fulfill"

SPECIAL DAIRY AGENT
TO BE SELECTED SOON

H. P. Singleton and E. E.
Springer Of Prosser and the county
agent, representing the Kennewick
Chamber of Commerce, attended
meeting of the Yakima Valley
Dairy Development League held in
the County Commissioners rooms
at Yakima Friday of last week, at
which time further plans for car
rying out of the program were dis
cussed. After the matter had been
gone into thoroughly by Mr.. Har-
dy, president of the league, and F.
E. Palmer, director of extension
work, the county commissioners
agreed to include in the prelimin
airy budget next year an item for
the continuation of the work in
the county, so as to decrease the
amount necessary from outside
sources.
The new man to be selected will
spend the larger part Of his time
working with dairy and other live
stock of Yakima county and devot-
ing part of his time to work in Kit
titas and Benton counties, in coop
Grafton with the county extension
agent in each of these counties.
An applicant was asked to APP
pear before the board of commits
sioners and the Dairy development
League Saturday morning of last
week with the idea of making fin
al selection of the dairy specialist
at that time. This would make his
services available within the near
future it is expected.

tically all crops experimental with
todate. This includes work on
grains, potatoes and a few other
truck crops.
One fertilizer program we think,
should be based upon this general
statement. In getting at the
amount of commercial fertilizer
which one could apply it is neces-
sary to take into account the
amount of nitrogen which may
have added through other sources.
One can figure roughly that each
ton of manure will add tenpounds
of nitrogen, and that good al
falfa crop would add 200 pounds of
nitrogen. In either the manure or
a legune crop turned under would
this nitrogen be as available for
plants as it would in the CONNER
cial farm such as in the ammonium
sulphate or cyanide or even the
ammophos fertilizers. 1t is prob
able that the nitrogen would spread
out over two years or three years
time when turned under as manure
or a cover crop, while in the COM
mercial forms given above it would
be all available within the one
season. Because of this fact it may
be possible that even where one
has used large amount of manure
or turned down a heavy legumi-
nous clover crop that the addition
of some nitrogen in the form of
commercial fertilizer would mater
tally help even the first yeear. We
know that at least the addition of a
reasonable amount of nitrogen to
a heavy cover crop and to manure
all help in getting the best results
from these forms of fertilizer, and
consequently the addition of 100
to $50 pounds per acre of ammon-
ium sulphate, cyanide or better
yet, Ammophos B, to manure or
cover crop should be excellent
practice and this should give good
economical returns. In determining
the amount of nitrogen to add to
this amount applied with the Glow
er crop or manure one would need
to check the amount of manure APP
piled or the amount of alfalfa or
sweet clover cover actually turned
down. The use of 100 to 800 pounds
of ammonium sulphate or like fer
tilizer per acre on a narrow strip
and checking of results should be
the best method of determining
whether our soils need more nitro
gen than they may be already get
ting. This strip should be compar-
atively narrow one.
If one is depending upon the
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1931-03-05

Commercial fertilizer alone, one
can readily see that it would
take large amounts of fertilizer
such as a BLOT or 5-6-3 to furn-
ish the 120 pounds of nitrogen. At
the Young Farmers conference
held at Yakima last week it was
pointed out that in order to pro-
vide a Is to 10 year old apple tree
with one pound of nitrogen it would
require 33 1-3 pounds of 3-10-7
fertilizer and this at cost of 74c
per tree as the present cost to the
grower. The same nitrogen could
be added with pounds of ammo
phos A and pounds of ammon-
ium sulphate or cyanide and this
would provide sufficient phosphate
to take care of the need of tree
for at least one year, the cost be-
ing but 24c per tree with but z
pounds of fertilizer to apply the
freight on as against 33 of the
other. This, if figured on the acre
basis, would represent a saving of
$50 to SIS, which we believe is an
item well worth considering at this
time.

PASTURES

At least many of the larger per-
centage of those actually having
pastures in the dairy program
have stated that they do not feel
that they could get along without
the pasture. We have many who
have not tried definite seeding of
pasture, stating that they do net
feel that pasture on the price OF
land and with the water cost of
the valley could be economical,
but the above statement of men
who have given it trial should be
an argument strong enough that
at least many of those dairying
should try out for year or two
a reasonable area in pasture in one
kind or another.
Except under especially favor
able conditions for grasses and on
land which sweet clover did not do
well, we would say that sweet clo-
yer is by far the best pasture for
the county The station at Prosser
reports it is giving more pastur-
age per acre and requiring less wa
ter than the grass pastures. Hence
we would strongly recommend the
trying of enough pasture to give
a fair trial for the herd.
In seeding sweet clover one
should attempt to get the biannial
White of a large growing strain
and seed 20 tot 25 pounds of seed
to the acre. A good practice is to
seed half of the pasturage one year
and the other half the coming
year. or, in starting it probably
would be better to seed down the
entire area the first year at tn
end of which half it might be plow-
ed out and a new seeding made on
that half. In this way one gets a
good crop turnout the year, the
second years growth coming on
early and the first years growth
remaining good until at least mid
fall.
Roughly, one can figure on two
and a half to three head of mature
stock per acre, especially if one
fences and rotates the pasture as
it should be rotated.

Japan Stands Firm Against

ton in Manchuria.
BY MILES w. VAUGHN
United Press stan CORRESPONDENT

TOXIC, Nov. 3O.-The "Stimson
incident" appeared closed today,
both as an international affair and
domestic political issue, as the
story behind the incident became
known.
War Minister General Jiro Mi
Mani said, after a cabinet meeting
at which he asked Foreign Minister
Baron Shidehara for details of his
conversations with Ambassador w.
Cameron Forbes regarding the Jap
aneSe agreement not to attack
Chinchow, that he, Minami. con-
sidered the matter closed.
This was interpreted to mean that
efforts of the opposition to embar-
raSs the foreign minister over the
Stimson incident had ended.
The foreign Office retracted it's
statement denouncing Stimson,
after it became known that a news
agency blunder, misquoting Slim
son, was responsible for what
threatened to be the most serious
international incident in the Man
churian problem.
ASSaiIed by Japanese
S. Shiratori, chief of the intelli-
gence bureau and spokesman for the
foreign office, issued vigorous con-
domination Of Stimson Saturday, on
the basis of a news dispatch from
Washington, which said that Slim
son had accused the Japanese army
of running amuck" in Manchuria,
and that he had accused Japan of
aiming to take all Manchuria from
China.
When it became clear that Slim
son had been misquoted, and the
foreign office had been informed
of the facts by Ambassador w.
Cameran forbes and Japanese Am
bassador Katsuji Debuchi in Wash
nlgton, the foreign office spokeS-
man revoked his earlier statement.
He said that the government consid-

Distributed by Agency
The news dispatch which caused
all the trouble was distributed by
the Japanese Rengo news agency
on the basis of an Associated Press
dispatch from Washington. It was
confirmed by the Rengo agency,
which is allied with the Associated
Press and receives a subsidy from
the Japanese government, that the
cable purporting to quote Stimson
was received from the Associated
Press via San Francisco.
In the mistaken belief that Slim
son had attacked Japan, all the
newspapers Indignantly attacked the
alleged Stimson statement, with the
exception of Nichi Nichi, which car
ried a Washington dispatch from
the Associated Press, denying the
truth of the reported statement.
