Mrs. Wilda Smith is doing her patriotic duty, there is no doubt about that. Since the first of October, she has knitted 15 sweaters for the men in Uncle Sam's uniforms and has furnished the yarn for them herself. Surely no good Moscow friend of the Red Cross will forget the entertainment at the Masonic temple this evening to raise funds for the local Red Cross workers. Those who do not dance can play cards and those who do neither may knit. The will of Henry R. Crow, formerly of Nezperce county, was filed with Sheriff J. J. Campbell in Spokane for a few days on the trail of some Latab county slackers.

FOR PURE SOILS
PROF. P. P. PETERSON W ORKS OUT VALUABLE FERTILIZER
FORMULA AT U. OF I.
'Nitrogen alone produces the best
This is the
results in Palouse soil.'

The decision reached by the department of soils after extensive experimenting covering several years. The farmer who still insists upon using a "mixure" is wasting both time and money, as it contains
dements which are of no value to him whatever. On the other hand, a simple nitrogen fertilizer such as
a nitrate of soda or sulfate of ammonia, will
produce yields increased
as high as 80 percent annually.
A three-year experiment
with nitrate of soda upon
plots by the department of
 soils gave the following
results:
No. of Average
crops increase
13 bu.
12 bu.
26 bu.
Crop
Wheat. 3
Oats
Potatoes...  One farmer obtained an 80 per cent increase, one about a 40 per cent, and another about a 10 per cent increase by the use of a simple nitrogen fertilizer.
