WILSON RESTORES
CRITIC TO OFFICE
; j it I? " " ' '
i Reinstates Official Who Said
He Was Marrying Too
Soon
Washington, Nov. 15i-?President
Wilson today instructed Postmaster
General Burleson to reinstate George
Burkitt, removed as assistant postmaster
at Winnetka, III., because he
criticised the nrpsirUmf kFo
r. waxtv.IV 1.V1 At%<? til"
gagement to be married.
The President qualified his instructions
by telling the postmaster* general
that Burkitt should be restored t'
his position if there were no other
charges against him.
Announcement of this action was
made today by Secretary Tumulty af:
ter a briet" conference with President
I Wilson. It was said unofficially that
the President entirely disapproved of
! discharging Burkitt for making the re
: marks accredited to him.
In correspondence between Burkitt
and Postmaster Kloepler, of Winnetika.
it was stated that Burkitt had been
i given demerits for unsatisfactory ser'
vice. That, Burkitt denied. The President
did not go into that feature in
his instructions to Postmaster General
Burleson but made it clear that Burkitt
should not be discharged for
merely expressing the views that a
man should not become engaged with
in a year after the death of his wife.
It was stated at the White House
that Postmaster General Burleson had
no knowledge of the case before it was
called to his attention by publication in
newspapers. The discharge of Burkitt
was approved by Assistant Postmaster
General Kbper after an exchange
of letters with Burkitt.
Burkitt protested he hail "not had an |
opportunity to reply to the charges as
required by civil service laiVs. Mr.
Roper informed him that the law had
been complied with by a letter sent to
Burkitt by the postmaster notifying
him of the charge of showing disrespect
to the President.
White House officials were annoyed
by the publicity given to the case, and
it was expected that Postmaster Gen-'
cral Burleson would act immediately
on the President's instruction.

SALT "AS A FERTILIZER 1
R. II'. Monday, London, Ontario,
writes as follows: Can you pleass *
tell me If dirty salt from a tannery
spread thinly on clay loam would bs *
of any benefit as a fertilizer? What L
Is a good fertilizer for onions?" 7
You will find that salt Is not much
good as a fertilizer. We have known
ef experiments?in fact, It has been
experimented with considerably?In
which It did not affect the yield to
any material extent. It may have a
lit Vo effect on the physical conditionof
the soil under some conditions, hut,
generally speaking, whatever this
efTect may be, it Is not worth the
trouble of applying the salt.
The four principal plant food
elements are nitrogen, phosphorus,
potassium and calcium. The
" ? it
mnt i iii trrj iiiuiipw nre llie mOSt lmportRnt.
Salt does not supply any of
these plant ' food elements. Salt hi
made up of hydrogen and chlorine.
The best fertilizer for onions d<*
pends upon the conditions of the soil,
and as we are not familiar with you*
Boil, we cannot give you tills defl- ^
nltely. Generally speaking, onions re*
quire very fertile land In order to give
best returns. This crop seems to
demand an unusual amount of avail*
able potassium, and for thtg reason it
Is sometimes advisable to apply a
potassium fertilizer. Sulphate of pot*
ash has been found to give better
returns than potash in other forms.^
Stable manure is very good for onions*
but should be applied in the fall. One
objection to using stable m&nute is
that it carries a great many weed,
and thus may Increase the labor
