COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER IS '0T
FOR LINCOLN COUNTY
FARMS
Many farmers over the state who
have poor and run-down fields have
tho impression that their soil is lack
ing in some element which can bo
supplied by a commercial fertilizer
Tho Experiment Station of tho Uni
versity of Nebraska Agricultural Col
logo has carried on a largo number
of experiments both at Lincoln and
elsewhere over tho state and in prac
tically no case has it been found pro
fitable to use a fertilizer. Increased
yields havo been obtained by their use
but seldom is this great enough to
pay the cost of tho fertilizer and the
labor in applying it. In almost every
caso, howtiver, the use of manure has
proven profitable and in most cases
this is about all that the soil needs.
Tho productivity of the land can often
bo greatly increased nnd sometimes
doubled and even trebled by tho use
of legumes such as sweet clover, al
falfa or red clover. These crops will
not only add nitrogen to tho soil but
they also improve its physical condi
tion. Tho roots of these plnnts pene
trato the soil to a considerable depth,
bring plant food nearer tho surface
and when they .decay leave tho soil in
a more open and porous condition.
This increases its water holding cap
acity and also the rato of absorption
of tho rains. In this way there is less
run-off, the soil is not washed as
badly and more water is stored up
for tho crops.

A system of highways that will
orvo tho whole coutry and will be
far superior to nny other In the world
is being mapped out by Federal nnd
stnto enginers. It Is estimated that
tho system will comprise 180,000 miles
of road. Tho Federal highway act re
cently enacted specificnlly requires
that all Federal aid bo spent in n con
nected Bystcni of hlghwnys consisting
of not moro than 7 of the road mile
age in each State, and that this system
shall consist of interstnto or primary
roads nnd intercounty or secondnry
roads.
Proposed sytems have been received
by tho Bureau of Public Roads of tho
United States Department of Agricul
ture from all but eight states. They
are plotted on a large map of tho Uni
ted States and carefully examined as
to co-ordination with tho roads of
adjacent Stntos and servlco to nil sec
tions of tho country. Where co-ordination
Is not satisfactory conferences
are held with all interested State high
way officials and routes ndjustcd.
Many States havo already adjusted
difficult problems with their neighbors.
As an example the system sent in by
Nebraska showed a big gap in an
important road along tho northern
boundary. It was learned however thnt
South Dakota would follow with n
system that would fit like pictures
on toy blocks. Since tho Federal High
way act of last November became a
law, only roads certain to be on the
system havo been approved tor con

The "LORAIN" Oven. Heat Regulator is a simple
device that places 44 oven temperatures at your com
mand. You set the wheel at the temperature required

ing is always done just right.
You can bake loaf after
loaf of bread, not one of which
will vary in color or in tex
ture. Everyday is a lucky day.

with this magic device, foods
formerly cooked on the top
burners are cooked in the
oven. You can cook a whole
meal unwatched in the oven
at one time.
You set the wheel of the
"LORAIN" and then you
know exactly when your
meal will be done. And you
forget about it until then.
Come in and see the "LO
RAIN" demonstrated on a
CLARK JEWEL Gas Range.
Then you will see why thou
sands of women are now
cooking this better, easier
and more economical way.
