MY LIFE FOR THE FLAG

Our nations first flag was vir-
tually made from scraps just as
the nation behind it was made. I
Betsy Ross pieced compost
flag from scraps of red, white and
blue. So the great spokesman,
Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and 9th
ers pieced compost nation out
of the colonies which were work
ing for the same objects, but in
different ways, none willing to
work together. Little by little
they came nito closer union, know
ing that they must do so in order
to overcome their mother country's
opposition and gain their greatest
desire, freedom. Struggling and
fighting side by side through the
great Revolutionary war, they won
their independence from England
and started great nation under
the Star Spangled Banner.
Old Glory was first raised over
the thirteen colonies, a small ter
ritory on the Atlantic coast. To-
day it floats over forty-eight
states, vast amount of territory
extending from ocean to ocean,
from Mexico on the south to Can
ada on the north. The fame Of our
flag grew as it continued to wave
over more territory.
Every true American citizens
should respect his flag and the ma
ton it represents, should obey the
laws and be willing to uphold their
principals.
Our flag represents nation of
ambitious people. 1t has free

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY
PROGRAM

A program was presented before
the assembly Thursday, February
18, in honor of George Washing
toms 2OOth Birthday. The pro-

rich, the music teacher, and Mr..
Parks, the orchestra instructor. As
a special feature a very interest
ing talk was given by M. M. Moul-
ton about George Washington. !"
The musical selections played by
the orchestra were: america, the
Beautiful" and america Freedom
of Liberty" by the first-year stu
dents. "Humoreske" by the violin
trio, Evelyn Edwards, Lynette Heb
erlein and Dorothy Allison, and
"Freedom of Liberty by the or
chestra and all the Glee clubs. The
musical selections by the Glee
clubs were: "In February by the
Junior high school chorus and

every opportunity for an educa-
ton that any person could desire.
It acknowledges no class or creed,
but gives all and equal chance.
The heart of every true Ameri-
can should swell with pride as he
sees the stars and stripes. Not only
did the hearts Of our own boys
thrill when they crossed the wa
tiers to war as they glimpsed Old
Glary, but so did the hearts of the
foreign soldiers who were there
because they knew it's meaning and
the power Of the nation behind it.
We who live in a land so rich
in memories of the brave men who
have given their lives that we
might live in freedom and safety,
should strive to do our part to
keep the flag unsoiled.

STRAWBERRY VERSUS
ASPARAGUS FERTILIZATION

From information which has re-
Gently come to our attention tends
to clear some of the questions
which have been raised in our
minds by results secured from the
fertilization of Strawberries last
year. In the first place results
from the North Carolina station
showed that strawberry fertiliza-
ton gave best results when applied
during late summer. This could be
explained in that the strawberry
crown during the late summer
stores a food supply and develops
the crown clusters for the coming
spring. A plant well fortified
then during summer would have a
tendency to produce a good set of
buds for the following spring. Re-
Gently it has been brought to our
attention that strawberry plots on
the west side fortified with nitro
gen as a spring application, were
not only later in producing but
produced less than those plots
fortified without nitrogen. An
analysis of this situation was that
the fruit of the strawberry is COM
posed largely of starches, sugars
and acids in which nitrogen plays
a minor part, and for which phos-
phorus and potash may play a
rather important part. At least
under western Washington condi-
Hons phosphate and potash appli-
cation in the spring gave increas-
ed returns of nitrogen alone or ni-
trogen in combination with nitro
gen or phosphorus or both.
The plot carried here in the
county was fortified heavily last
summer at the time that the plot
was worked over. The fertiliza-
Hon this spring will be carried out
without the addition of nitrogen at
least over a part of the plots, so as
to be just what results this may
have here this year. From what

SPRING FEVER

Ho-hum We can't seem to do

that we'd like to sleep And
when we do try it in earnest, we
wonder why the bed clothes are so

LETTERS FROM THE

Dear Ralph:
There are times when / don't

som'eres. Sometimes the indispo-
sition is caused by somethin'
done ct. Occasionally it is due to
lack of ultraviolet rays and quite
often it is somethin' 1 done read.
Several days ago got bad dose
of the later and there is no cure
but this. 1t began this-a-way.
A little fred" paper comes to
the house unbidden and unpaid
for. One article in it credited a
famous American humorist with
the following quip, ''Laborers unite
you have nothing to loose but
your brains and you never had
any" I substituted farmers" for
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1932-02-25

we have learned however, we would
be inclined to recommend no nitro
gen to the strawberry beds this
spring unless it was in very limit
ed quantities with the idea of pro-
ducing enough leaf growth to pro-
tect bloom. The addition of q
greater amount than this probably
would stimulate excessive vegeta-
tive growth and a consequent de-
crease in production.
In contract to this the asparagus
crop is, because of nature Of the
crop harvested, this being the
growing tips Of new growth, needs
a surplus Of nitrogen available
during the harvest season. The
growing tips of all plants carry
a large proportion of nitrogen. Be-
cause of this field having been
fertilized the proceeding season so
as to store a large amount Of
starch and sugar in the crown
should respond to the use of nitro
gen fertilizers applied during the
cutting season. Like strawberries,
however, the asparagus field should
be fortified largely following the
harvesting season SO as to produce
good growth of tops and encourage
the storage of a large amount of
food in the crown.
If manures are applied during
the winter or early spring it would
be our opinion that the addition of
200 to 300 pounds of ammonium
sulphate for instance, could well
be applied if the manure applica-
ton does not exceed 10 to IL loads
per acre which we believe should
be the amount that can be most
economically applied to the aspar-
agus field.
In summing up then, we might
say that since the strawberry crop
harvested carries largely starches
and sugars and that the asparagus
crop carries large amount of nj
trigen, that the fertilizer for the
two crops should differ as suggest
ed above.

The program Of said company is

gets up to the microphone and or

talk and CAB and give the public
something besides hot air for the
thousands it pays for such pur-
poses.

COUNT BEING MADE OF
TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAYS

To get facts as to travel on Min
nesota highways, systematic count
has been made once each year for the
past several years. This is known, a
state highway bulletin says as "tak-
ing the traffic census" and the in
formation obtained is important in
determining present day requirements
and indicating probable future ones,
as to, both, maintenance and new con-
struction.
Beginning Monday of this week,
men stationed at 407 points through
out the state have been recording the
number of passenger vehicles, freight
vehicles, large trucks, small trucks
trailers, horse drawn buggies and
wagons, motor vehicles under Mime
sofa licenses, under licenses of other
states and other countries; as much
useful information, in fact, as can be
obtained without bringing the traffic
to a stop.
The information secured through
these surveys displaces the need, the
bulletin points out, for the guess.
