MANURE Holds
VAST WEALTH
Worth Il Millions in Plant
Food in State Each
Year, Said

An estimated $l2,O0O,0"o worth
of plant food IS coUt"'no6 IN the
5000. 900 tons of farm manure
produced in North Carolina every
wear.
Yet much of this plant Food
goes to waste because tn" m"nure
is not cared for ami utilized pro-
perly, according 20 ". u. Wood
house. Jr., assistant agrorom'st ut
the y. c. Agricultural Experiment
Station.
Basinq his estimate on the value
of plant food i'm commercial TEL
tilizer. WoodhouSe said the ma
nure produced annually on the
average farm in this state is worth
S43.
But by valuing the manure ac-
cording TO the increased crop
Yields il could produce. he added,
il is worth more than three times
that amount. On this basis, the
total manure production OF the
state is worth about S4O.OOO.OOO.
Properly cared for and utilized,
enough manure would be avail
able TO apply three tons on every
acre of corn grown IN the state
he said.
The experiment station has
found that in q corn. wheat ana
clover crop rotation. an apphca'
ton of three tons of manure
every three years produced an M
creased crop valuation valued at
S4.7S for each ton that was APP
piled.
A large part of the nitrogen
and potash in manure is water
soluble. WoodhOuSe pointed OUT
and il is easily lost through leach
ing. When manure is allowed
10 decompoSe in storage, large
amounts of nitrogen are given OF
and lost as ammonia.
He suggested that 70 get the
best results. barns and lots should
be cleaned often. and the manure
should be snrcad on the fields as
soon aS possible.
Sufficient bedding should 0e
provided in stables to absorb al
LIQUIDS. as the liquids contain most
of the nitrogen. =,
Although manure is valuable
Woodhouse added it IS not in It
self a complete fertilizer, and II
should be supplemented by other
fertilizing materials.

WASHINGTON. Mar. =. (UPD.
Development of = super-wheat
seed, resistant to drought and
plant diseases, has received impe.
tus here with announcement OF
new, mass-production breeding
process.
The new technique for crossing
wheat varieties. perfected by De
paltmcnt of Agriculture experts
makes possible for the first time
the large scale production o.
wheat hybrids. Previously each
wheat liorot had to be pollenated
by hand. This laborious and PANS
taking process is comparabl" to a
minor surgical operation in nos
pital.
Under the new method. wheat
plants are chilled BY artificial re-
frigeration to kill the regular pol
len and then that Of = ditferen:
variety is scattered over the
plants. With this process. grow
crs estimate that they can now
obtain 4 thousand seeds Of vary
ing crosses whereas previously
they obtained a dozen.
Out of the delugc of new wheat
hybrids which may be expected,
agriculturalists expect to find the
supcr-wheat seed that can with
stand the rigOrS Of early frost
scorching droughts and damaging
diseases. American farmers lose
millions Of dollars annually be-
cause of such diseases as rust,
bunt or sinking smut. MOSAIC ana
bacterial germs that attack grow
ing wheat plants.
Ordinarily the wheat flower
fertilizes itself before it opens
and thus breeds true to type.
Breeders have attempted to break
through this quirk Of nature so
that the good points of two wheat
types NAV be combined to make a
third and better variety.
Until now, this contest with ma
ture involved the removal OF
minute stamens at just the light
time and the insertion of the pol
len OF a different type. The chill
ing process does just this in that
it kills off the natural pollen and
when the foret is ready the out
side pollen of second kind OF
wheat may be used. Naturally,
care had to be used not to damage
the pistillate pare of the flowers:
so the refrigeration is kept above
~ and below so degrees.
BY using this relatively qulct
and easy way, it should be posi-
bic to accelerate progress in dc
veloping new varieties which car
combat wheat'S two worst enemie:

Miss Farrar retired in 1882
when she was so. More than a
quarter of a century before she
borrowed $4,000 to start an OPP
cratic career and went to Berlin
where it was accepted as an axi-
on that IA singer had to be plump,

The slender New England girl

"How will we fill opera houses

no younger ones to take their

she never had one. She lives

And with a slight wave Of her

Football marched into the sports
field locally when Ray Flaherty,
coach of the Washington Redskins,
arrived in town to start work for
the 1897 season in the National
League of Professional Football
Clubs. The flame-haired Irish
man, who was hailed as one Of the
great ends of the professional
game, was introduced from the
ring at Griffith Stadium last night
and, in a neat speech, promised
local fandom a team that would

ner.
Flaherty said after leaving the
arena that he has made a trade
with the New York Giants for Max
Grouse, former Gonzaga leather
lugger. He will have to give up
several players for this ace Of the
