THE NATION 18 SHOCKINGLY UNPREPARED. It la apparent that we are shockingly unprepared. There la no room lor controversy on this point since the objact letton on the Mexican border. All * our available regular troops (leas, 1 believe, than 40,000) are there or In Mexico, sad as these have been deemed trfsufflclent the entire National Guard has been ordered out; that is, we are summoning pracUeahy ah our movable military forces In order to prevent bandit incuretooa. In view of the warnings ef the past three year*, it u ia excusable that we ah on Id dad ourerives to this plight. For •* hfcUifttl guard am en. who W*th a Aae patriotism responded to this eall and art bearing this burden, I bare -othing but (■ted**. Bat I think tt little abort of absurd that we should be compelled to cab men from their shops, their factories, their oflloes and their professions for such a purpose. This, however, is not aD. The units of the Na Hon*! Guard were at peace strength, which was only about one-half the required strength, tt was necessary to bring In recruits; for the most part raw and untrained Only a small percentage of the regiments recruited up to war strength will have had even a year's training to the National Guard, whi-h at the mar 'mum means one hundred hours of military drill, and. on the averag:. means much less. . Men fresh from their peaceful employments and phy sically unprepared have been hurried to the border for actual aervlce. They were without proper equipment; without j necessary supplies; suitable conditions of transportation were not provided. Men with dependent families were sent; I and conditions which should have been well known were discovered after the event. And yet the exigency, comparatively speaking, was not a very grave one It involved nothing that could not readily have been foreseen during the past three years of disturbance, and required only a modest talent for organization That this AdmtnletraI] «ton w«Be pursuing Its oocrse II to Mexico should bare permitted If «Mh conditions to ectet is sill msst toeredfble. — PVocb Mr. H Rugbe*' speech of aceeptsnes.

MJHEMIIEEDS - iLlBRlSUCGESS Leaving Undue Any One of Four Necessary Steps Seans h Partial Failure. I j • If there are four essential and usees- 1 t aary steps to growing a crop, and we t follow threa and neglect one, often I we might just as wsO bars omitted 1 the three steep a poor erop is oertato - to Callow. Whoever aees good seed. I ; prepares a Una, firm seed bad. usee lime, but neglects to supply wheat i wtth available plant food In stiff riant i quantities will not harvest the largest l somber o f bubals of best qulBr 1 wheat. Ton cannot grow strong, sturdy ' wheat plants from a sluggish start I ' The tiny plants seed -sssUUnoe from germination to maturity. The roots take up in solution ■vwwwiia pbos-l . P boric acid and potash. These plant- 1 . food alaments are found In the soil. 1 being gradually available to the crop; - the deficiency of plant food Is supplied through fartillasre. They are ' carried to the growing loaves, and nn-l j der the action of sunlight, are mauw- , factored into plant cell material tout j ashes plant growth. Amnwla is the food that helps baby plante by giving > them a dark green color and produe- - teg stalk growth. Plenty of svaBabto » ammonia to the fertiliser gives the young plants a running start. Harris to Cornell .University Bulletin 352 states; •;■«> "The number of -kernels' of Wheat per pot increased with the fertiliser." Filling the Kernels. ( Wheat is grown primarily- for, the grain. Phosphoric add "to plyit food that is most tolhhkteiy^fac^rhed > with forming and lining the kernelsLate In June or early in July^tlja tiny wheat flowers open and become. fertile and the new wheat berries begin to develop. The time between the flowers becoming fertile and the complete . filling of the kernels is very short — I not ever ten days or two weeks to . most cases. As the kernel contains i 75 per cent of the phosphoric acid of the plant, this plant food ingredient ' plays a very Important-hart jn cuing the kernel crop. Thatcher hbtoTtoat the restive protein contenfoTiratods determined j chiefly. If not wholly, by the rapidity . of ripening of the kernel. Thus It is easily seen that the amount of phosphoric acid available for plant ' food I at this time may determine the quality and yield of the crop. Strengthening Straw. ' The third essential plant food, pot-i ■ ash, gives strength to the straw, assists to the transportation and laying) down of the starch In the kernel and along with phosphoric acid plumps the grain. If the kernels are shriveled or email, the straw weak and inclined to lodge, more potash should be applied In the fertilizer. Available ammonia, .phosphoric acid and potash are the three plant foods applied in fertl llzers. They cause plant or stalk . growth, form heavy, plump kernels, | hasten maturity and make strong straw, insure good clover eatohee and quality wheat Fertilizers should be selected of such an analysis as will make up for the deficiencies of the available plant food to the soil and supply the special needs of the wheat under various farm conditions. Best results wfll be secured by using 300 to 400 pounds of fertiliser on inm or clay soils analysing 2 to 4 per oeat ammonia. 8 to 12 per cent phosphoric acid and 2 to 4 per cent potash. On sandy or poor soils more ammonia should be used. Owing to the war conditions making potash scarce and high priced, a much smaller percentage of potash is Advisable until these abnormal conditions adjust themselves. Fertilizers give crops, a quick start strengthen straw, hasten maturity, better the quality and Increase yields and profits.

Feed Vegetables Several Times For years hundreds of successful truck-growers have been making one. two or even more applications of fertilizer on crops each year with profit . The method gains favor because it is 1 a money-maker. Sweet corn, beans, cabbage, tomatoes and a host of other crops benefit greatly by this practice. Apply with a cultivator attachment, i five-hole grain drill or fertilizer bugle. 1 If crops are slow In starting use a fertilizer containing more than 1 to 2 ] per cent ammonia. To hasten matur- ■ I ity and to improve quality, use a fer- ■ ! tflizer containing 8 to 12 - per cent phosphoric acid. If soil is muck, or II 1 for a root crop, apply a fertilizer con- 1 • taining more than 1 per cant potash. J i : _ . . ]
