AR RANGES FOR SHIPMENT OP SULPHUR FOR RAXCHERS-CAX SAVE $5 PER TON. Sulphur tor fertilizing purposes may be purchased by ranchers in this vicinity at a reduction of $5 per ton it enough sign up to merit bringing in a carload, or 40 tons, the first week In March. County Agriculturist Ward has just arranged for this through the government, but must be sure that enough care to take some before It is brought here. No small shipments can be procured. Applications of sulphur have been found particularly advantageous In raising alfalfa. R. G. Grimes, ot the Pilot Butte ranch has found his crop increased and began to grow earlier after each cutting when he had used the new fertilizer. Ot the ten far mers who tried it out in the vicinity ot Bend the past year, all report from a 25 to 35 per cent larger yield. Two hundred pounds are genera'ly used to an acre. ,' Land plaster contains about 320 pounds of pure sulphur to each ton and it Is thought possible thnt the ex cellent results obtained from it have been due to the sulphur. The straight use Is a still greater improvement. Sulphur is a new fertilizer and was discovered accidentally in spraying fruit trees. Alfalfa growing around thorn and getting some ot the mix ture grew better. It bids fair to be come one of the greatest logumlnous feiv "rs, according to Mr. Ward. '. All w,v desire to sign up for a portion ot 4 shipment should do so as early as p. slble. STRIK BEGUN GETS
