Bernst ranches near Central Point. On the two ranches some twenty plots have been treated with differ ent varieties of fertilizer, all of the plots showing good results with the exception of those treated with ni trate of soda and pure phosphorus. Many farmers have been paying high prices for these fertilizers and have been at a loss to understand the lack of results. In all cases, however, where any fertilizer containing any form of sulphur was applied the re sults were most satisfactory. Where check plots were not worth cutting those a few feet away treated with sulphur showed a fine second crop. According to Pathologist Cate, the pyrites that will be available in im mense quantities at the opening of the Blue Ledge district will furnish an ideal sulphur fertilizer. This product can be ground here, if rail road transportation is available, and sold at from $8 to $10 a ton. The pyrites in its present form contains about 30 per cent sulphur and can be easily concentrated to a content of BO per cent. Raw lump pyrites was applied last spring to several plots and showed a noticeable improvement in the crop. However, if the pyrites is ground as fine as sulphur and applied at 100 pounds to the acre, remarkable re sults may be expected, lasting over two or three years. At present gyp sum and pure sulphur are the most j practical forms to use. The war, however, has boosted the price of sulphur to about $50 a ton. As soon as cuttings are finished and all available data has been gath ered a bulletin will be published giv ing to growers the exact findings as to fertilization of alfalfa. D.

Such is the testimony of . motorists and experts alike. As Lieut. Bryan, U.S.N., puts it: "Oils made from the asphalt-base crudes haveshownthemselvestobemuch better adapted to motor cylinders, as far as their carbon-forming pro clivities are concerned, than are paraffine-base Pennsylvania oils."

X BUY HOME PRODUCTS We carry the following home products: Ashland Canned Goods Ashland Milling Co.'s Goods Ashland Butter Ashland Brooms White House GROCERY Walt Mason on "Homemade Goods" Why send afar, to Cork or Rome, For Sunday hats. or bales of hay? Let's buy the goods we make at home And show we're patriots that way! The giant vessels sail the deep, And bring us doodads made abroad. We buy such traps and fail to keep Our money on our native sod. Those ships take back our hard earned cash To pay the freight for Europe's kings; To pay for battle succotash And stuff we grow at home, by jings! My wife's new lid was made in France, And 'tis a phony thing indeed; .The broadcloth in my Suuday pants Was manufactured by Tweed. The sauce the grocer sent today Was brought from London in a crate; It costs like blitzen I must pay The duty added to the freight. We sing our patriotic songs And boost the flag and seldom cease; But when we want gargoyles or gongs We ship them in from Southern Greece. And as I write a hundred barks Bring curlycues across the foam; Oh, profit by these sage remarks And learn to buy your junk at home!
