Need Addition to
Lime and Manure
Superphosphate Is Recon-

ture.-WNU Service
The extension service of the Col
lege of Agriculture is working on
a campaign for pasture improve
ment, as part Of an effort to get
more pounds of milk to the acre. 1t
says that the present main activity
Of this campaign is to use super
phosphate with manure for top
dressings for pastures, and for the
growing of small grains and silage.
The college points out that New
York soils and manure are low IN
phosphorus, and for this reason, su-
perphosphate should be used to sup
plement lime and manure in order
to get better yields of legume-hay
and small grain crops.
Because superphosphate doubles
the value of manure as a fertilizer,
1t makes the supply go further. Re
cent experiments have also proved
NAAoN dANhN Va VANA
manure, will greatly improve perma-
nent pastures.
The college makes these sugges-
tions for the use Of superphos-
phate:
Buy bulk superphosphate. Use 1t
In the dairy barn this winter at the
rate of four or FIVE pounds for each
COW, 40 to so pounds for every load
Of manure.
Apply the manure supplemented
with superphosphate at the rate Of
not more than ten loads per acre on
corn land or for top dressing new
seeding.
The county agricultural agent has
direct charge of the campaign, and
Is ready TO give the latest informa-
ton about the best methods for buy
ing and handling superphosphate.

Fox Is Trained to

D|EHN SHOOTING
TRIAL HA[TS

Sidney Diehn, 81, wounded in
a shooting fray July in front OF
the Annapolis Hotel, failed to
identify Benjamin Soloff, 20. and
Robert Frank Huff, Is, held in
connection with shooting, when
they appeared late today before
Judge John McMahon for a pre-
1iminary hearing.
Diehn, who appeared in court
on crutches, said he knew Soloff
slightly but things happened too
quickly" the night of the shooting
for him to see his aSsailants.
A taxi driver, Lester Bayne,
however, testified that he was on
the spot at the time and that
Soloff was driving the car from
which the shots telling Diehn
came.
When witness scheduled
failed to appear today, Judge Nc
Mahon ordered the case con
tinued until Friday.
Soloff and Huff had been out

HI CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

Up and down the Valley come the signs
of a real Christmas holiday in the Valley
for the good year 1884.
Hardly a Valley community but has
burst forth into print with the glad news
that Christmas of this year will be some
thing more han a day 81 which we close
the stores and 90 hunting.
Pre-holiday festivities are in the air.
Carnivals, parades and what have you
are announced.
Doll and toy funds are being collected
in every city, every hamlet.
On all sides the sentiment is expressed
that this is to be a Christmas for every
body, that no one child must be left with
thought that there amt no Santa Claus.
Just how fine it is to see so many of our
people really worrying about the enjoy
ment of others is perhaps difficult to
realize unless we go back just a few years
to the time when all Of us were so en-
crossed with ourselves and our own trou-
bles that we had little time and less effort
to devote to the thought Of others.
And that is what is going to make this
a really Merry Christmas the country over,
the change in thought and sentiment that
makes us all really want to devote our
selves to the happiness of others.
The Christmas spirit has come back.

GOOD JOB FOR A GOOD MARINER

II is good to read that Capt. George a.
Fried, retiring from the sea, is promptly
given one of the biggest jobs the federal
government can give a mariner-supervis-
ing Inspector in the important second in
s~pection district for the Federal Navigation
Bureau.
Not often does a merchant sailor attain
such widespread public confidence as Cap
tain Fried has attained. His cool, seaman
like, and daring rescues at sea are almost
legendary.
Any man who could perform as he per-
formend in the famous Antinoe and Florida
rescues must be a pretty broad-gauge sort
of man as we'll as a first-rate sailor.
Captain Fried, in other words, is too val
liable a man to be allowed to slip into re-
tirement just yet. His new job is one of
vast responsibility. The safety of many sea
travellers depends on it being handled prop
erly.
And with Captain Fried filling in, the
American public will have complete con-
fidence that the work is being done the
way it ought to be done.

The great gulf that separates the occi-
dental and oriental viewpoints could hard
ly be illustrated more sharply than by the
recent attempt of that Toxic traffic police
man to commit suicide.
This officer was detailed to route the
Emperor Hirohito's encourage through a
certain stretch Of country. Somehow he
made a mistake. Traffic got tangled. and
the emperor's car was delayed 80 minutes,
So the policeman felt that he could redeem
his honor only by killing himself.
Suppose President Roosevelt travels by
auto from Washington to Philadelphia and
runs into a traffic jam en- route; will the
traffic cop who should have prevented the
jam put a bullet through his heart out Of
sheer chagrin?
The mere fact that the question is utter
ly ridiculous shows how greatly the Jap
anese attitude toward duty, the govern
ment, and life in general differs from our
own.

The mineral you need most for your health are
calcium phosphorus and iron
However, there are many others Of considerable i'm
~portance, including particularly iodine, potassium,
sodium, magnesium, sulphur and chlorine. and also,
in very small amounts. copper, zinc. flouorine. alumni
mum, manganese and silicon.
The exact manner in which all these function in the
human body has not been completely determined,
but 1t is known that they are present and some Of
their purposes are understood.
Iodine has been studied particularly because Of its
relationship to the thyroid gland. It las been known
since 1895 that iodine Is a rather large constituent OF
this gland. but it Is only within recent years that It's
relationship to the gland has been definitely deter
mined.
Actually the human body contains 25-l000ths OF a
gram Of iodine, which represents 400. 0oOths Of the
total weight Of the body. OF the .otal iodine in the
odytwo-fifths is found in the thyroid gland. The
activities Of this gland depends largely on the iodine
that it contains.
The natural supply Of iodine coming into the body
depends on the part OF the country In which we live.
The drinking water OF various sections Of the country
varies in iodine content.
For example, the drinking water Of Stanford. Calf
contains los times as much iodine as that Of New
York and the New York drinking water contains 100
times as much iodine as that of Duluth and so times
as much as that Of indianapolis.
The food available in various parts of the country
also differs in the amount Of iodine II contains. In
fact, foods differ in their iodine content.
Iodine Is invariably present In milk. but varies
from a trace In the sections Of the country where
the supply Of water is low to a great deal in those
sections Of the country where it is high.
HOLSTERS, clans and oysters contain more iodine
than salmon. but salmon contains more than a good
many vegetables.
Fresh water fish contain much less iodine than do
salt water fish. Seaweed containeS a good deal OF
iodine, but Is not much used as a food In the United
States.
In Japan II is used a great deal and the JauaneSe
suffer very little from golfer.
Among foods which contain relatively little iodine
are white bread and oranges. Among those which
contain considerable amounts Of iodine are oysters,
sardines. eggs and spinach.
The exact amounts OF iodine necessary for life and
health are not definitely determined but II has been
shown that children, and women who expect to give
birth TO children. hsould have az least lO-l0OOths Of
a gram OF iodine each week.
Once upon a time the salt that we ate contained
iodine, but modern refined salt in many instances
has had the iodine removed. For this reason salt with
iodine added is furnished 10 those who desire II.
Because the necessary iodine is easily available, 1t
has not been suggested that foods in general be en-
riched in the content Of iodine. as has been done by
the addition Of vitanin d 70 food products.
