Agronomists Urge Fall Fertilizing Spring Work Speeded By Fall Fertilizing LAFAYETTE. Ind. — Put time in the bank this fall and save it for a rainy day next spring! It’s possible, claim Purdue University agronomists. They say farmers will be ahead to apply broadcast applications of phosphate and potash fertilizers this fall Instead of next spring. They reason that equipment, manpower and extra time are freer in the autumn season than during spring rush. But, there’s more to it than that. Dr. J. B. Peterson, head of Purdue's agronomy department, says spring work may be considerably speeded up if corn fertilizer is applied in the fall. Farmers can go ahead and top dress their pastures in the tall. They’ll find the ground is firmer so that spreader trucks do less damage to eeerfbeds or to growing crops. Another thing in favor of fall fertilization is the supply on hand. It’s larger In the fall and delivery is usually faster than during the

CHAPTER FOURTEEN WHEN Penn was gone Claudia felt sick and cold, her lovely Saturday ruined. That boy! He was back from Korea, then. The uncase that had dogged Claudia Mapes’ footsteps for a tong time and then been lifted tor a year or two, returned. Even when he was very young the fury and hatred in the face of Marsh Nichols' son had been a little frightening. What if she had told Penn the truth? About that factory building Josh Henning and some other men from home had been stuck with in Baltimore. About those promised priorities in copper and other metals that never materialized—but from no fault of Storey’s, no fault at all, she argued to herseff. How could Elihu know the president would suddenly appoint a co-ordinator who would be hostile and suspicious? And the house was Maude's fault Always nagging and harping because other senator’s wives had big homes on the avenues while she was stuck in an unfashionable apartment. Abruptly, like the onset of an illness, the awareness came to Claudia Mapes that she despised Maude Storey, hated and resented all the futile, footless characters who sucked at the substance and the strength of Elihu Storey. Even that Houk girl. How had she dared come here, babbling all that non- . sense about want ’ng to protect her ; uncle? Thinking, because of a man undoubtedly, that she could wheedle some revelation out of a confidential secretary! It was all plain to Claudia. Penn had met that Nichols boy and listened to his lies. Bitterly Claudia blamed everyone but the senator. Maude, most of all. A woman who had turned her back on her beginning, who ignored ever her poor 1 old parents, living out their last days in loneliness far away. And those sons of Elihu’s, of whom he could not even be proud! Even Gil. What would Gil have been without his father's prestige bci hind him.? Just one more insignificant two-striper lost in the vast impersonality of the Navy. Now her Saturday was ruined. No matter what she had to-fill the day, she was so upset and angry that it would fall apart, flatly. There was only one thing she would really like to do and that was to seek out Marsh Nichols' son and challenge him to prove - anywccusanwn henright-be nwking against the senator. She I wouldn't da it. of cours c. She would damper her belligerent desire just as she had subdued the urge to whack' hecklers over the head with her briefcase time and

spring rush. Don't be afraid phosphate and potash fertilizer will leach out between application and planting time, advises Dr. Peterson. Except for very sandy soil, phosphate and potash leach little or not at all. Soil teats, of course, will determine what applications to make. Nitrogen materials may also be applied on heavy, poorly drained soils late in the fall and still retain their effectiveness. The ammonia form is preferable here, since it’s held by the clay against leaching, says this soils authority. The nitrate form will readily leach, if water is moving down through the soil. Soils which require fall plowing to obtain a suitable seedbed are usually soils on which nitrogen can be applied with little loss In efficiency. Dr. Peterson says farmers who have soils heavy at the plow sole depth or just below the plow layer (caused by high clay content) may want to make a deep application of nitrogen, phosphate and potash this fall. Recommended is the subsoiling method which puts the fertilizer down in a well-dis-tributed pattern to a depth of about 20 inches. The operation should be done when the subsoil is dry to aid shattering the ground and to prevent the damaging process of soil smearing.

again. Just as she refrained from giving disgruntled constituents dirty looks or thumbing her ladylike nose at crude characters like Josh Henning. Thinking of Henning brought another frown to her brow. What was Josh doing in Washington anyway ?, He’d bqen geqn v ou nd town with that conceited young Carrick. Claudia hadn’t liked the whispers that had seeped through the office building like poison gas these last few days. Nor had she been eased' by Senator Storey’s carefully assumed attitude of Indifference, the worried frown she caught on his face when he didn’t know she was watching; It was no use trying to salvage this Saturday. She went back to her bedroom and dragged off her comfortable Saturday clothes, put on a white blouse, her smart gray suit, and her little string of synthetic pearls. She gave her nails a whlfek with a file and pinned on a gray hat With her bag and gloves she went down to the bus stop as she did every other morning. She would go back to the office and work. You could always drug uneasiness with work, with the familiarity of routine. After all, they were in for five more years and three months. Nobody, not even Josh Henning, could take that away from Elihu Storey. The great building was silent, echoing, almost deserted. It was always that way on Saturdays. A little group of tourists wandered in the halls with a guide. An elderly man in uniform dozed beside the. open door of an elevator. Claudia smiled at him as he stumbled up. They were old-timers, he and she. , She let herself into the office with her key. The air-conditioned room felt chilly, the air pungent with some kind ot druggy disinfectant, the stuff the cleaning women put on their mops. Her desk shone, blank and empty, all but a space in the middle where a folded newspaper lay. She picked it up, puzzled. Somebody had put it there. Saturday's copy of the most unscrupulous paper in the city. It was folded so that a column lay uppermost, that piece ot daily lurid journalism that every member of Congress read anxiously and pretended to disdain. She did ■ riot need to search for the paragraph intended for her eye. It jumped at her like someth*ng -hurled from- ambt/»hi—-TN*-column bore the ambiguous title "They Say,” and the item that froze her to rigidity began: “They say on the Hill that alert young Congressman Carrick, bird dog of the anti-Red investigations, has

Best time to subsoil is late summer arid fall. Dr. Peterson adds that, in some years, deep fertilization can be done as late as December. '' H, ( | Subsoiling is rather expensive. That’s why he advises applying a large amount of fertilizer in one operation, if the subsoil really needs it. In all cases, soil tests of the subsoil should precede this work. f As a standard rate of fertilization, Dr. Peterson recommends farmers apply 100 pounds each of nitrogen (N), phosphate (P 205 and potash (K2O) per acre. If the subsoil’s below pHS, then it’s advisable to also apply about 1000 pounds of agricultural ground limestone per acre in the subsoil. Spaniel Appeal NEW YORK (INS) — Ths small cocker spaniel — now a popular pet among suburban and apartment dwellers — was a favorite in Queen Elizabeth’s day. In explaining their appeal, Dr. John Caius, 16th century court physician, wrote: “These dogges are litle, pretty and fyne, and sought for to satisfle the delicateness of daintie dames.’’ If you have something to sell oi rooms for rent try a Democrat Want Ad.

nosed out another of those stinking cells. High connections. They Say, even involves the artistic son of a man high in the Senate.” . Claudia’s teeth set so rapidly that, her ears ached. She twisted the paper angrily in her hands, then unrolled it again, and redpencilled the item. She started to dip it, then changed her mind and folded the whole page instead. With quick, nervous desperation she searched the telephone book. She dialled swiftly, was relieved when a feminine voice answered. "Mrs. Storey?” Claudia inquired with forced calm. “Mrs. Rutherford Storey? This is Claudia Mapes, Kelly. Could you come downtown and have lunch with me today? There’s something I'd like to talk over with you—something that concerns us—that would worry the senator. Could you come to the office if I wait for you here? Thank you. TH expect you soon then.” She hung up. But half an hour passed before Claudia remembered to take off her hat • • • Winifred Storey hated Saturdays. The government departments closed and usually Gil was at home all morning, cluttering up the little apartment with his male concerns, making a nuisance of himself. If he wasn’t in her kitchen, polishing his boots or his buttons and braid, he would be down tinkering on the car, so that she couldn’t use it. But on this Saturday there had been an early telephone call, and Gil took it, frowning, appearing perturbed. He shaved himself immediately without speaking, then announced abruptly that he had to go down to the Press club and was taking the car. Winifred set about listlessly straightening up the apartment, wondering what they would do to get through this autumn day. On some Saturday afternoons they went out to the Storey place in Maryland. At noon Gil came in with a stiff, evasive look an his face. “I’m going out home,” he said. "I'm going alone, and I won't be back to lunch.” Her fury flared. “You’re going out there and leave me stuck hers without any car all day?” "1 have something to talk over 1 with my father,” Gil said. “It’s important The buses run if you want to go out” “I have as much right to go out as you,” she fumed. "I stay here ► ■ week long* —~ ——«~-‘ "I’ll be back as early as I can,* he said at the door. ’ “What do I care when you come ; back? I won’t be here,” she ! snapped. ■ i (To Bo Continued)
