Waterway Will Be Completed January 1, 1914, Washington.That the Pana ma canal will be ready for ser vice by or possibly sooner than January 1, 1914, a year earlier than the originally estimated date, is the starling announce ment made in the annual report of lhe Isthmian canal commis sion, submitted to Secretary of War Stimson by Col.

GREEN MANURING HAIRY Everybody can grow hairy or winter vetch. You may have to have it inoculated before- it will make m uch of a growth! and you may have to be somewhat careful not to let it become a weed, in your wheat and oat fields but it is' one of our best; plants for soil improvement and grows during the fall, winter, and spring when most other croDS are off the land. It should be sown in September or October and plowed down just before planting in the spring The seed can be secured from most seed dealers and will cost around $3.00 a'bushel. You wiil be interested jto lean that a ton of cured vetch hay contains more nitrogen, phos phate and potash than a ton of hay made from any other legume we have so far discussed, and, as a soil improver, it is in the class with those plans that have no equal. A ton of vetch hay has 55.8 lbs. of nitrogen; 14.6 lbs. of phosphate, and 46.6 lbs. of potash. Composition of green vetch n ta women When a woman 6p?ks of her silent secret sucnng she trusts you.

Washington, Nov. 16 Rush orders have been given the Bu reau of Engraving and Printing. It will put on an extra force and add an hour to the working: day in order to fill a pressing demnd on the Treasury for notes of small denomination. ' The. demand is for $1, $2, and $5 notes. Increase in population and in business, the demand for sanitary notes, the approach of the holidays and other reasons are given lor the shortage of small notes in the country. Because of the situation con gress will be asked for a deficien cy appropriation for bureau and to appropriate for 10,000,000 ad ditional "sheeets" of notes for the current fiscal year.

Now one ton of green vetch contains, according to some expert analyst, 13,2 lbs, of nitro gen; 3,2 lbs. of phosphate, and 8,2 lbs of potash. By plowing under 15 tons of green vetch there would be rendered available. in each acre, 198 lbs, of nitrogen; 38 lbs. of phosphate, and i23 lbs. of potash. On a ten acre field you would thus get 1980 lbs. of nitrogen 480 lbs. of phosphate, and 1230 lbs of potash. You would thus get, for almost noth ing, as much nitrogen as you would get from 260 tons of fresh cow manure or from 49 tons of 8-2-2 fertilizer. You would get much phosphate' as you could from 300 tons of fresh cow man ure or from 3 tons of 8-2-2 fertili zer. There would be as much potash made available as you would get by spreading 168 tons of fresh cow manure or by using about 31 tons of 8-2-2. It will cost yoa at least $150 to haul and spreod 300 tons of manure in case your field is half a mile from the stables. The 2 bu . of vetch seed for the acre will $5.00 or $6.00 and the plowing and most of the harrowing will incidentally prepare the land for the next crop. The amount of nitrogen thus taken from the air at no cost at all and the phosphate and potash rendered available in the soil is equal to that taken out of a ten acre field by nearly 2000 bu. of corn; 3000 bu. of wheat, or fifty-six 500 lb. bales of cotton. AH of the nitrogen has been taken either directly from the air or rendered available by decom position of pre-existing organic matter in the soil. In case the phosphate and potash are not supplied artificially they are taken up from the earth through the roots of the plants; built into the plant issues and rendered availia ble to the succeeding crop on decay of the roots, stems and leaves of the vetch plants.
