OMAHA, Tex, Oct 27.-"The
Boston Bees looked good last
year. It looks as though they're
going up in the National League,
and I'm satisfied and pleased to
have a chance to go up along
with them"
That's Casey Stengers attitude
today about the new contract he
accepted to manage the Bees.
Remember, the team finished
only one game out Of fourth
place last year." Casey pointed
out. "I don't have any definite
plans right now, but I imagine
there will be no radical changes
in the makeup Of the Bees.
They're an ambitious bunch,
from the bat boy up to President
Bob Quinn. There's no reason
in the world why we shouldn't
make a fine showing next year.
'I won't predict any pennantS
for 1888. No, nor for 1889
either"
Stengel will go East within a
week." he said, to discuss plans

Ellen ratified off a AZ on the out

it was a forgone conclusion that

Mrs. Charlotte Stern Of Indian

FERTILIZATION FOR
SMALL GRAIN URGED

College Station, Raleigh, Sept. =
North Carolina farmers will soon be
sowing their 8OO,OOO-acre crop of
small grains: wheat, oats, barley and
rye.
The yield per acre next spring will
hinge largely on the kind of fertiliza-
ton given at seeding time this fall,
said C. B. Williams, head of the
agronomy department at State Col
lege.
Proper preparation of suitable land,
selection of good seed of a variety
adapted to the locality, and care in
planting are other important factors,
he added.
Since much Of the small grain crop
is sown on land low in organic mat
ter, Williams pointed out, good ferti-
lization will sally increase yields two
to three times over what they would
be with no fertilizer.
If the soil has a fairly good supply
of organic matter or if a crop of le-
gumes has been turned under recent
ly, it will need only a fourth to a
half as much nitrogen as Williams re-
commends for poorer soils.
For the average soil on which small
grain is grown in the coastal plains,
he recommends 800 to 400 pounds of
4-10-4 fertilizer to the acre. In Pied
mont and mountain areas the same
amount of AGA is recommended
On very poor soils. the fertilizer
should be supplemented with top
dressing of rs to 100 pounds of sui
plate of ammonia per acre or 100
to 1925 pounds of nitrate of soda, ap-
piled in the spring.
Where the soil is highly acid, 1900
to 1000 pounds of dolomitic limestone
or half that quantity of burnt lime
Should be applied per acre after the
land is broken and narrowed or disk
ed and before seeding. The land
should be narrowed again after the
lime is broadcast

to act on Japan's hint and take tenn

Johnson's. His orders were to avoid
involving Uncle Sam in international

STATE LAWSALL0W
EROSION PROGRAM
% Commonwealth Enable
Farmers To Fight Land
Abuse Practice

Washington, Sept. 8.-FarmerS in
twenty-five states now have authority
under state law to organize for local
cooperative action in combating soil
erosion and preventing wasteful land
abuse, Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A. Wallace, said today
During the last six months, legisla-
ton providing for the creation of
local soil conservation districts has
been written into the statute books of
Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia,
Indiana, Kansas, Illinois, Maryland,
Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ne
vada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma.
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South
Dakota Utah, and Wisconsin.
Most of these state statutes are
modelled in principle after the Stand
ard State Soil Conservation Districts
Law, prepared by the Department at
the request of various agencies in
number of states. In general, they set
up a procedure for the creation OF
soil conservation districts with au-
thority, as governmental subdivisions
of the state, to develop and carry out
erosion control programs in coopera-
ton with individual farmers, and to
enforce land-use regulations which
have been approved in a referendum
by a majority of the land occupiers
in a district.
Legislation of this type was recon-
mended by President Roosevelt in
letter to the governors of the several
states last February At that time, the
President declared that while the
erosion control demonstrations car
ried on by the Department during the
last several years have pointed the
way,' state legislation to supplement
federal activities "is imperative to
enable farmers to take the necessary
cooperative action"
"The policy of the Department OF
Agriculture Secretary Wallace said,
s.row requires that states adopt ade-
uuate legislation Of this nature as
prerequisite of future federal assls-
lance in soil erosion control work.
Work already under way in the states
will be completed, of course, but no
new work will be started in states
which fail to assume their share of
responsibility
"'The adoption of districts legisla-
ton by twenty-five states in the short
period of six months is significant,
Mr.. Wallace said. cit indicates wide
