ECONOMY OF FERTILIZER
APPLICATIONS
E. c. DURDLE,
County Agent.

The question has been raised by
some as to whether we have enough
information to justify recommending
a fertilizer program without the use
of potash, and this raised as princi-
pie argument against the information
given in the circular mailed to num-
Der of farmers in the County some
weeks ago. In the first place we will
say that careful reading of pages
seven and eight of this circular cam
not leave the impression that We are
opposed to the use of potash in fer
tilization for any crop in this section.
We pointed out that results which
we have secured would tend to show
that at least heavy applications Of
potash are not justified from the
economic standpoint. The main facts
brought out in this circular were those
which show clearly we believe, first,
that it is possible to secure the fer
tility which many are applying in the
form of socalled complete fertilizers,
for thirds of the cost now being
paid for these so called complete
fertilizers; and second that because
of the lack of proper balance in these
fertilizers in that practically everyone
of them are low in nitrogen, that
much more economical results can be
secured through the use Of heavier
application of nitrogen than will be
provided in the so called complete fer
tilizers.
Farming is business, and unless
business principals are applied to its
general operation it cannot hope to
succeed any more than could general
business hope to succeed if economical
and sound business principals are not
followed. Why should farm pay one
half more for fertilizer if it can be

a definite poisoning campaign for the
whole farm, and if some of your neigh
bors are supplying you with gophers
get them to cooperate with you.
Because of the cold, backward
spring it is probable that the sage
rat has gone largely unnoticed. AS
soon as the weather warns up well
he will be evident through his in
roads upon potatoes, corn, strawber-
ries and of course grains in the grain
section. Careful poisoning thru the
use of bats prepared by the Bureau

Drug company at Prosser, and the

White Bluffs Drug company at White
Bluffs, should enable one to pre-
vent any serious damage by the sage
rat.

gen through the use of sons straight
nitrogen fertilizer. If additional COM
plete fertilizer is used the extra cost
will come up very rapidly, while If
nitrogen alone is added in the form
of one of the cheaper nitrogen fertii-
GERS then it may be possible to hold
down the difference to somewhere
near the above figure.
It used to be said that farming was
a mode of living, but in our present
higher industrialized age a careful
study of successful farms shows that
these are the farmers that apply funi-
damental business principals to the
farm operation. Careful study given
to the economics of fertilizers pur-
chases will show possibility of con-
siderable saving If sound business
principals are used in the purchase
Of fertilizers.

'BARBIERI AND
 !. HURBA HEARING
Alleged ViOlators of Liq- uOr Law to Appear Be-
 for Justice FitzsinlOns
IN WOODBURY TO-DAY

The cases of Charles Barbieri and William Hurba, alleged oper- ators of a 500-gallon still, were scheduled for a hearing this after noon before Justice Oscar Fitzsim- ons in Woodbury. Both men have been at liberty since flremen dis covered the presence of the still and constables made the arrest last Monday afternoon. Barbierfs wife is theowner of the property on which the distlllery was discov- cred. In addition to the large still the authorities found several vats containing about 10000 gallons of mash.
 The barn in which the outfit was found is located on one of Wood- bury's most prominent locations. the junction of the Woodbury Waterbury and Bethlehem high ways. A gasoline station is less than 100 feet from the barn.
 Authorities of Woodbury be- lieve that the place has been in operation since last spring. From the roadway no one would ever suspect that the building was used for illegal purposes. A calf or a cow was kept tied close to the doorway. Any suspicious odors could be easily explained by the statement that a silo was part of the farms equipment.
 Judging by the size Of the still it Is evident that the owners have been supplying most of Litchfield county for several months.

The city court room was jammed to capacity last evening at the board of works meeting by dele gation from the Mill Plain section or the city urging the immediate erection of the Homestead avenue bridge. Rev Thomas P. Mulcahy of Sts Peter and Pauls church and Rev J. o. Todd of the Mill Plain Union church headed the group. After much discussion, and verbal objections by property owners on Homestead avenue who objected to the proposed layout and grade or Homestead avenue which will not benefit their property, the matter was referred to the corporation counsel, the city engineer and the street committee.
 It was announced that a report will be made at the next meeting of the board as to the status of the matter at that time.
 The large delegation insisted on the erection of the bridge as soon as possible. Thirteen property owners on Homestead avenue, with Attorney John Thoms representing the Mattatuck Manufacturing Company and Attorney Alfred Finklestein, a home owner on this street, voiced their objection. II the bridge is built, they said. the street will have to be graded and this cost will be borne by the prop. erty owners. As the houses from in most cases on other streets, this group will pay for the work which in no way will be benficia1 to them
 If the bridge is built. the Matta- tuck Company expects the city to assume responsibility for the dam which the city does not wish to do' as 1t might entail some heavy damage suits.
