An aviator sent from ths Greenville airport wept to Raleigh and took to Hartford, Conn., Mr*. C. E. Smith, 86 year? old, who wan making a race against death to reach the bedside of her son Harry, who died before she ^reached him. Mrs. Smith flew from 8$, Petersburg to Jacksonville, Fla., took a special train from there to Raleigh for the night ride, at Raleigh hurried into the big passenger plane ordered in advance and awaiting her with the veteran pilot George M. Kneightly at the controls, and at once started north by air. Circuit Judge Bonhanrt, this week filed in court at Moncks Cornor an order finding that Governor Richards had no power to remove from office Sheriff C. P. Ballentine, of Berkeley county, as he tried to do. The deputy sheriff was legally removed by the governor, the judge- finds. But Ballentine says he will at once reap* point Deputy Woodward. The whole proceeding against the two officers, and their defenses, have been a roaring comedy for months. Six bandits held up and robbed the First National bank of Easton, Pa., Tuesday and got away with $0,000. Use Acid Phosphate to Increase Alfalfa : Tried With Satisfactory Re.suits in All Cases. A :j (Fr*p*r*d by (h? United State* !>?i>*rlmeal ! of AcricuTtur* ) Farmers vl*eltInir the Yuma rectum*. ' tlon project iieur liartl, C?llf? huve been Impressed with the result* ol?- ' tallied hy the United States Department of Agriculture in Its Investigations to determine the cause* of the apparent decline In yield of alfalfa hay during the Inst few year#. Simple fertilizer experiments Indicated that where alfalfa was malting unsutlsfnc*' tory growth on the Yuma project acid phosphate could he used to very good advantage. Furthermore, preliminary 'testa Indicate that Heed production may he materially Increased through the application of ucld phosphate. The farmers have tried acid phosphate on their own fields with such satisfactory results In practically all cases that the demand for the fertilizer has Increased each year. Approximately 250 tuns of 10 per cent acid phosphate was sold to the project farmer* In 1024. Till* 1* equivalent to 250 pounds per acre on 2,000 acre*. All the te*ts showed u marked Improvement lr^ the growth yf alfalfa from applications of acid phosphate. There seemed to be little preference between 10 per cent und 44 per cent add phosphate, provldlug equivalent quantities of phosphoric add were ijppllod. This being the case, suys the department, It would appear that the farmer should use which over form Ih the cheaper, based upon the relative proportions of this element. Great Preventable Loss in Using Common Sires A great preventable Iohh in American animal production Is In the low duality of the sires used, says the United States Department of Agriculture. In no other phase of animal husbandry Is It possible to make such direct, such marked, 'and such profitable Improvement at such alight cost as In- the use of superior purebred sires. Records of the beef-cnttle breeding work at 8nl-n-Hnr farms. Jackson county, Mo., furnish examples of the value of u good bull. Common coWs In calf to common bulls were purchased as foundation stock for the demonstration farm. These cows were later bred to pure-hred Imef hulls. The first-class steers brought $2 a hundredweight more than the common steers. HI nee the dams of the two lots were essentially the same und the methods of feeding and marketing were Identical, the difference of $2 u hundredweight In their value may he fairly attributed to the superiority of the pure-bred sires used for the first cross us compured to those used on the farm from which the foundation cows ' were purchased. ?At-the nverrtge nf l.fwxt pounds five} i weight for the animals, an Increase of a hundredweight In the value at j marketing time of the offspring of a ! pure-hivd hull brings an Increased value of .<2|0 !t year on a crop of 12 calves If It is assumed that the heifers Improved equally with the steers. Lack of Potash Cause of Poor Clover Crops Investigations In Wisconsin have shown that one of the causes for the decline in various clover crops In lack of sufficient potash. Alfalfa and nil of the clovers use large quantities of potash, and cannot do their best wheu there Is a shortage of this clement. One of the Indications of potash starvation In ulfalfa is- tiny white spots the size of snvall pin heads aj>pearing on the leaves, while the same thing In clover I*'Indicated by slmllur yellow and hrown spots. The Wisconsin College of Agriculture, pointing out that It takes four tons of farm manure to supply the potash needed by one ton of alfalfa or clover, says that It Is more economical to use a potush fertilizer than to depend upon farm manure to keep up the supply of this element. From <one hundred to two hundred pounds per acre of a potash fertilizer ts sufficient for olovyr; alfalfa requires three hundred to five hundred pounds per acre. This may be applied ns a top dressing In the spring or fall after the crop Is started. Manure Allowed to Pile Up Loses Its Fertility There Is always a loss when manure Is permitted to \ille up?be It summer or winter. The loss In the warm months Is apt to be heavier than In the case of winter-stored manure except where the latter 1* held with no protection from the?we*41u<r. But In summer, whether manure Is kept under cover or not. it la certain to lose considerable of Its fertility through heating. Thts Is a purdty bacterial and chemical change. The most effective way to check It Is to keep the waste slightly moistened. But better than I this Is to get It to thcr fields If possible. I It is no failure In economy to fer| tlllze grass plots which one plans to plow In the fall or following spring. [ If manure be applied directly to the grasses In small amounts and thinly spreud no loss of fertility element* r will occur. Distribution Is always better thnn allowing the waste to pile up, atthoqgh If properly protected it can be held for short periods without ?er(ous loss. i 'Mm ,7.
