do not get enough to eat, while
100000 900 of these face starva-

Verdict Expected in
Tanant Case

A common pleas jury in Judge
Lester L. Cecil's court is now de-
termining the fate of Hugh Tar
rant, Sc, of 518 Greencastle. Tar
rant has been charged with first
degree manslaughter. He denied
that he fatally shot Floyd Dudley
August "a, last, in front of 1850
Germantown street.
Tarrant made his denial yester-
day after Assistant Prosecutors
William Wolff and Robert Schroa-
der rested the states case against
him. Tarrant claimed to jurors
that he aimed and shot at Dud-
ley's leet when the latter insisted
that Hazel Mortimer, Tarrant's
niece, accompany him. When
cross examined Tarrant said he
heard no other shot and saw no
other person at the scene except
Miss Mortimer, Dudley and him
self.
The jury verdict is expected at
any time now.

Business Facts
Rv 6. Edward Gilbert

AS the field of business passes
from the sellers market to that
Of the buyers market, too much
emphasis cannot be put upon en-
ployer-employe relations, for it is
a definite factor in the success
of any business, be it large OF
small.
Because we are interested in
the success of all business, real
izing that through business we
shall eventually gain the respect
of all the world, we present in
this column four keys in human
relations in business, which if fol
lowed will ten dto improve en-
ployer-employe relations.
4. Treat people as individuals,
a. Learn each workers. back
ground, interests, attitudes, am
billions, and problems.
b. Adapt your method of
handling employee matters to the
individual and to the circmu-
stances.
c. Analyze the conditions un-
der which he or she works.
2. Make the best use of each
workers abilities.
a. Place the worker in a job
for which he is ready.
b. Let each worker know what
his job is and the "why' of
what he is doing.
c. Teach the worker how to
do the job.
d. Encourage initiative in de-
veloping better methods for do

cell in all fields save that of hui
man relationships. They fail to
perceive the connection between
art and life; they don't reach
fullness of development because
they are unable to recognize the
duty of an artist to society as we'll
as to his art. Like the poet T. S.
Eliot, their art resides in a little
private capsule. 1t is to Robeson's
and 10 Davidson's credit that they
have used their creative talents to
aid oppressed people in their
struggle for democratic freedoms.
Robson has steadfastly refused
to retreat in the face Of press
vilification and personal SANDER
and the refusal of many commun-
tiles to permit him to speak. His

Clio Wins Hotel Suit

COLUMBUS, Feb. d. (ANP)-
The Ohio CLIO council emerged as
victor in it's four suit-sponsored
case against the Neil House coffee
shop when the hotel announced
here recently that it had aban-
doned it's Jim crow policy. The
four suits, which had been enter
ed by Negro delegates to the Ia
toni CLIO Educational conference
early last year, e. withdrawn
when the change of policy was
announced.
The suits resulted from refusal
of the coffee shop employees to
serve the Negro delegates. With
tn change over, Negroes ar being
served in any and all restaurants
or dining rooms of the hotel.
According to William Lavelle,
secretary-treasurer O fthe CLIO
council, Zone battle in the war
againstd iscrimination has been
won." He said that his group
would press for complete FEPC
legislation at the next session of
the Ohio legislature.

Montana Experiment Station
Prepared Phosphates
Give Best Results
Bv p. c. GAINES. Chemist

- - - 1hiiv6o SLChiASt
Montana Agricultural Experiment Stotion
NEITHER cOLLOIDAL phosphate
nor ground phosphate rock has much
to offer under Montana conditions.
Colloidal phosphate is a trade
name applied to finely divided, COM
paratively low grade phosphate or
phosphate clay. Since the size of
the particles is finer than that of
even finely ground phosphate rock,
it has often been considered as
somewhat more available than the
most finely ground phosphate rock.
However, there is a definite ques-
ton as to whether either of these
two materials are of any consider
able value as fertilizers except in
acid soils or soils containing rather
large amounts of organic matter.
Certainly acid soils are extremely
rare in Montana, being found only
along a few creek bottoms or in a
few cut over lands.
Generally speaking, I would say
that colloida1 phosphate cannot COM
pare in value with prepared phos-
phate fertilizer such as super phos-
phate. All the prepared phosphate
fertilizers will certainly have a
higher percentage of available phos-
phorus and should WELD higher re-
turns per dollar invested.
In summary, I would recommend
that the prepared phosphate fertili-
zers be used to correct phosphorus
deficiencies rather than either col
loidal phosphate or ground phos-
phate rock.

Gypsum Not Practical
For Most State Soils

EXCEPT WHERE sulphur defic-
iencies occur, it is doubtful that
gypsum or gypsum containing free
sulphur can be used economically in
Montana"
This statement summarizes the
findings of experiments conducted
by the Montana agricultural expert
ment station and reported in mimeo-
graphed leaflet No. 2, March, 1948.
Other conclusions reported:
Gypsum is a source of calcium and
free sulphur but most Montana soils
don't need these elements. Defic-
iencies have been found only in some
western Montana areas.
Gypsum can improve the physical
condition of some "black alkali"
soils, but such large amounts would
be necessary as to make its use for
this purpose impractical. A black
alkali soil containing no more than
L of l percent of sodium carbonate
would require about 2h tons of gyp-
sum for each foot of depth for com
plete naturalization.
The sulphur content of gypsum
might produce a desirable acidity in
the soil but, again, such large
amounts would have to be applied,
probably more than 1000 pounds to
the acre for most Montana soils, that
it would be impractical and the use
of such amounts would be unfavor-
able to the growth of many crops.
These findings, according to the
l%eaflet, are based upon experiments
conducted at the Huntley branch sta
ton in 1915. The leaflet states:
Gypsum was applied to both
alfalfa and barley in heavy soils at
rates of 800 and 600 pounds to the
acre. Differences could not be OBJ
served in either height or growth of
the alfalfa on treated and untreated
parts of the field, and straw and
grain yields of barley did not show
conclusive differences"

Believe It Or Not

1. A grain of rice proved "a pop
ular exhibit at the Indian Indus
trial Exhibition held in Delhi in
1888. It had alt letters written on
it. These could be observed only
under a strong magnifying lens.
2. An Indian priest transcribed
the whole of the Bhagavad Gita
(F1indu scripture) of about 10000
words on a strip of parchement
which, when rolled up, could be
placed inside a big almond shell.
3. An Indian architect of Bonn
bay wrote the whole of the Vice
regal declaration of October II,
1889, on BritAin's war aims on one
side of an ordinary postcard, leav-
ing a space in corner for pho
tograph of the Viceroy. He achiev-
ed this feat by writing 1T lines
containing over 1000 words-all
with the aid of the naked eye and
an ordinary pen.
4. A Manipur tribe on the As
sam-Burma frontier, known as
Pate, has queer customs.
Men are forbidden to smoke.
Only women smoke and they
smoke nonstop to make up for
the men.
5. The smallest nest in the world
is that of the Indian crested swift.
The nest is made of tiny bits of
bark stuck together with saliva
from the birds beak. Invariably
there is a single egg in it.
