A few plants thrive in sand. and
few grow better in heavy clays;
but most plants the average gar
dener Is likely to grow will do well
in friable loan.
Stable manure comes nearest to
meeting all requirements Of a fer
tilizer. AS it decays 1t furnishes
fairly balanced supplies of the
three essential plant foods-nitro-
gen, phosphorus and potash--in
forms which the plants can absorb.
At the same time 1t supplies humus
that helps hold water and make
the soil crumbly and easy to culti-
vate.
Compost, using the word loose
ly, is decayed vegetable matter OF
aim ost any kind-lawn clippings.
leaves, garden wastes, sods, young
weeds. manures, green garbage
from the kitchen, and almost any
thing that grows that does not in
troduce ripened weed seeds. Every
gardener should have a compost
pile. 1t is a bank of fertility In
which he makes deposits and with
drawals.
Making Compost Pile
To hasten decomposition OF q
well-tramped pile of refuse mate
rial feet wide, Is feet long and
feet high 1t should have 100
pounds of carbonate Of lime, OF
which ground limestone Is good
example, and 100 pounds OF sui
phate of ANN nia. The pile is best
made in layers OF a foot each with
the proportionate amount OF these
substances scattered on each layer.
1t must be kept wet.
With manure and compost as
soil conditioners and as the pri-
mary sources of plant food, the
commercial fertilizers are valuable
as supplements. These are nitrate
OF soda, sulphate of ammonia. cot
tonseeed meal, dried blood and
fish scrap as carriers Of nitrogen,
superphosphate and ground bone
as carriers of PHOSPHORUS, the
potassium salts and wood ashes for
potash.
With most of these it is easy
to overdo, to use too much, and
injure the plants more than you
aid them. Ground bone IL q safe
supplement because 1t liberates its
PHOSPHORUS slowly, but the nitro
gen and potash salts will burn the
leaves and kill the plants IL applied

CAPONE DRAWS
MUCH NEARER TO
TERM In PRISON
One Court Denies Rehear-
ing of His ll-Year Sem
tence-Supreme Court
Is Last Hope

Chicago. March 24--(U. P.) -
A U. S. penitentiary cell was one
step nearer to AL Capone to-day
with denial by federal circuit court
of appeals of his request for a re-
hearing of income tax fraud con-
viction.
The court, however, granted a
30-day stav to allow an appeal to
the U. s. supreme court. An IL
year penitentiary and Jail sentence
and a $4,000 fine are involved. On
this basis Capone will remain for
at least six weeks in the Cook
County Jail where he was placed in
conviction last october. His attor-
neys believed the supreme court
would require at least two weeks to
consider the appeal. U. s. District
Attorney George L. @. johnson
sought to prevent the stay on the
ground the government was forced
to maintain extra guards at the jail
day and night to watch Capone.

That is the meaning the gardener
should bear in mind when he con-
siders fertilizers for his Towering

So called commercial fertilizers are

are many reliable mixtures on the

To make garden plot really

gardener must make sure that the

favorable for plant growth. In this

Washington, March 24-(UP)--
March income tax collections are
giving treasury officials a welcome
surprise although they are running
millions of dollars below those Of
a year ago.
Collections for the first 81 days
totaled $17S,567,113-nearly $4,-
100000 more than the treasury had
expected for the whole month. The
rest of the month may bring in
$4,000, 900 or $12,000,000 more.
The income tax receipts have
whitfield 81, 100000 off the deficit,
but the treasury is still $685.
204,869 in the red for the fiscal
year which ends June 80.
The deficit is met chiefly by is
suance Of short-term government
securities. Some of these mature
soon and the treasury announced
to-day that 1t would replace them
with a new $10O,000,000 issue of
91-day bills to be dated March 80.

AT THE CAPITOL

Melodrama. hard hitting melodra-
ma with plenty of human interest
and suspense is Panama Flo" an
RKO-Pathe production which opens
at the Capitol Theatre tonight with
Helen Twelvetrees as its star.
There is nothing slow moving in
this picture. Starting off with a
bang. it carries through without a
let-down until the last reel when a
sudden and ursuual story twist holds
the audience to the final fade-out.
Director Ralph Murphy has taken
an intriguing story, with a back
ground Of the colorful tropics, and
through deft handling has turned out
a picture OF solid entertainment. Be-
cause OF its rapid pace. there is never
one moment lacking in interest.
Stranded in Panama by her sweet
heart played by Robert Armstrong
Helen is caught in trap by wildcat
Oil promoter played by Charles Bick-
ford, and forced into his jungle
shack as housekeepcr. When Arm
strong turns up and attempts to rob
the oil man. she turns on her lover
and shoots him. Through gratitude
Bickford sends her back to New York.
Three years later Bickford finds
Miss Twelvetrees in the United States.
He asks her to return with him to the
tropics. His story OF what actually
happened in the jungle shack makes
a climax which long will be remem-
bered as one of the highlihgts OF Miss
TwelvetreeS' emotional career.

Dead Germs Destroy
Live Germs in Body

San Francisco, April 6.-tP)-Dr. B.
J. Clawson, Of the department OF
pathology, University of Minnesota,
told clinic Of the American college
of physicians Wednesday how dead
germs" may be used to kill living
germs" which are causing disease in
a human being.
He explained in series Of 301 pa
tents suffering from chronic non
specific anthritis, usually caused by
the invasion of some form of strep-
tococcus into the body, 80 per cent
Of the patients showed clinical i'm
provement after injection with a
streptococcic vaccine.
This vaccine is made from dead
Streptococci, he said, lin other words
dead streptococci helped to kill liv-
Ing streptccocci and perhaps other
types of organisms. The vaccine is
introduced into the body of the pa
tent by injection under the skin or
into vein. The intravenous method
has been found the best because it
helps to bring back to normal those
patients who react too strongly to the
disease organisms, and who have
little power or resistance against
them"

James Cannon, Jr., has sounded a
warning to the Democratic party that
it faces reputation by the southern
dry element which opposed Alfred e.
Smith in 1928 If it names an anti
prohibitionist on wet platform In
this years presidential campaign.
The southern Methodist clergyman,
who actively opposed Smiths election
four years ago, expressed his fear
that the Democrats would name a
wet" at the national convention in
June unless dry Democratic forces
fatty declare that they will demand
a law enforcement plank 49,. and
that they will not support candi-
date running on wet plank
Bishop Cannon's warning to the
Democratic party, delivered Tuesday
night before the Newark conference
Of the Methodist Episcopal church,
was coupled with the statement that
President Hoover can demand the
Republican convention limit itself to
the adoption Of the usual law en-
forcement plank He assumed the
president would be nominated by his
party for reelection.

NEWBORN VARIETY
DEVELOPED AT A. G.
Professor A. E. Yeager Began
Experimentation With Spe-
cies Is Years Ago

Fargo, N. Dak., April 6.-Realizing
the need in North Dakota for All ear
lier sweet corn of high roasting ear
quality. Prof. A. F. Yeager. horti-
culturist at North Dakota Agricultur-
al college. set about in 1919 to pro-
duce such new variety OF sweet
corn.
After a careful study he chose
Golden Bantam and ellis Early Mar
ket as the two parent corns. BY this
time Golden Bantam had become the
best known sweet corn on the mar
ket, but Yeager was out to improve 1t
both as to earliness and quality.
Such progress had been made in
the breeding and selection of the new
variety of sweet corn by 1924 that
samples of each strain were sent to
other experiment stations where they
were checked for earliness and cooking
qualities. One OF the seven plots
planted that season at the Agricul-
tural college was chosen as superior
to all others. The seed from 1924,
planted in 1925, gave corn of disable
size s. days from the date of plant
ing. Professor Yeager named it Sun
shine.
Here was an offspring of Golden
Bantam that produced roasting ears
from three to 10 days earlier than its
parent. It had ears from six to eight
inches in length. yellow in color,
though slightly less bright than some
strains Of Golden Bantam, and typ
ically carried IL rows of kernels Mar
ket gardeners everywhere hailed it as
an asset to their business: and house
wives welcomed it because of its earli-
ness and high quality.
Sunshine sweet corn was originally
bred by Professor Yeager with the
idea OF giving North Dakota a better
sweet corn. but people beyond the
borders of the state quickly saw its
merits. 1t was not long before this
new sweet corn was grown in many
parts Of the country. Now thousands
of acres Of Sunshine sweet corn are
grown throughout North Dakota and
the United States.
