Land Problem
Solutions Told
Al Demonstration

Three land problem solutions were
emphasized to valley farmers this
week in a demonstration meeting at
the Frank Griggs ranch. according
TO George L. WCright, assistant
county agent.
A group of valley ranchers in
spected test plots in which phos-
phate fertilizers was used in alfalfa
paintings. Use of phosphates to the
extent of one-half ton to a ton
per acre showed yield increases of as
high as 100 per cent, Winright said
Results proved conclusively that
phosphateS should be used on soft
lands to increase alfalfa yields when
growth is unsatisfactory, Winright
declared.
Other test plots proved that slow
irrigation can be used to an ad-
vantage on medium hard land for
increased yield. A test plot of alfal-
ia demonstrated the advantages and
yield increase through fertilization.
A third plot demonstrated the
necessity of Sub-soiling on hard
land to obtain satisfactory penetra-
ton and good yields. Winright con-
cluded.

MURPHY TO HIGH COURT

President Roosevelt has appointed
Frank Murphy of Michigan to the vacancy
on the United States Supreme Court which
was created by the recent death of AS
sociate Justice Pierce Butler. Like Butler,
Murphy is a Catholic.
The new associate justice is 46 years
of age and has held numerous official
posts, including those of mayor of Detroit,
governor general of the Philippines, gov
ernor of Michigan, and attorney general of
the United States. He was defeated for
reelection as governor of Michigan, and
attorney general of the United States. He
was defeated for reelection as governor of
Michigan in 1888
Murphy is the fifth Supreme Court
Justice to be appointed by President
Roosevelt, the others being Black, Reed,
Frankfurter and Douglas. He will be
the SD person to sit on the highest
bench.
And speaking of the Supreme Court
it is interesting to note that while 81 citi-
zens have been President of the United
States, only IL have been appointed chief
justice since the foundation of the govern
ment-Jay, Rutledge, Ellsworth, Mar
shall, fancy, Chase, Waite, Fuller, White,
Taft and Hughes.
Jay, the first chief justice, was the
youngest at the time of his appointment,
being only A. Marshall was appointed at
the age of 49,
Among former associate justices of
the Supreme Court, Joseph Story, ap-
pointed at the age of 80, was the youngest,
while William Johnson was 33 at the time
of his appointment.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD"

Editor, The Citizen:
A story has been told concern
ing Frederick the Great of Prus-
STA. Once he visited school
and questioned the pupils. Hold
ing an apple in his hand he asked
them:
ITO what kingdom does this
apple belong?"
ITO the vegetable kingdom!"
they answered in unison.
Correct" he said approvingly.
Holding small rock in his
hand he next asked:
ITO what kingdom does this
rock belong?"
ITO the mineral kingdom!"
they replied.
! Correct" he again said ap-
provingly.
"And, now, I, to what kingdom
do 1 belong?"
The children hesitated. They
were afraid to say that their
Emperor belonged to the animal
kingdom, so they politely re-
manned silent.
II think you know, don't hest
tate to tell me-" he said re-
assuringly.
Still they remained silent.
Finally he turned to a little girl,
and asked her:
st am sure that you know, my
dear child, and you must tell me;
to what kingdom do / belong?"
The little girl looked at him
earnestly and replied fervently.
"To the Kingdom of God!"
Tears came to his eyes and
rolled down his cheeks. This
time he did not say correct"
but:
s''I sought my answer in the
right place, and I found a better
answer than l sought"
Verify, the Scriptures say: "a
little child shall lead them"
