MR. EDISON ON WORK
(From “Current Events >»
MF. Edison, the world’s greatest
inventor, was with difficulty per¬
suaded to take a half a day off from
his work that he, or, rather, his
neighbors, might celebrate the day
which brought him to the age of 73.
He took this occasion to give to the
newspapers a statement of his views
about work and the modern tendency
towards “slacker principles.” His
ideas may sound oldfashioned today,
but no harm will be done by giving
them sober consideration. Mr. Edi¬
son says:
“Today, I am wondering what
would have happened to me by now
if fifty years ago some fluent talker
had converted me to the theory of
the eight-hour day and convinced me
that it was not fair to my fellow
workers to put forth my best efforts
in my work.
"1 am glad that the eight-hour
day had not been invented when I
was a. young man. If my life had been
made up of eight-hour days I don’t
believe 1 could have accomplished a
great deal.
• • This country would not amount
to as much as it does if the young
men of fifty years ago had been
afraid that they might earn more
than they were paid. TheR-e were
shirkers in those days, to be sure, but
they didn’t boast of it. The shirker
tried to conceal or excuse his shift¬
lessness and lack of ambition.
“I am not against the eight-hour
day, or any other thing that protects
labor from exploitation at the hands
of ruthless employers, but it makes
me sad to see young Americans
shackle their abilities by blindly con¬
forming to rules which force the in¬
dustrious man to keep in step with
the shirker. If these rules are car¬
ried to their logical conclusion it
would seem that they are likely to
establish a rigid system of vocational
classes which will make it difficult
for a working man to improve his
condition and station in life by his
awn efforts.
"I have always felt that one of the
principal reasons for American prog
ress in the past has been that every
man had a chance to become what
ever he wanted to be. It used to be
fashionable to be ambitious. The em

TOPDRESSING COTTON
The first thing to consider in any
topdresser fertilizer is the readiness
with which the nitrogen may become
available as plant food. The ones in
most common use are sulphate of am
monia, and nitrate of soda. The form
er contains considerably more am
monia, which may usually be pur
chased for slightly less per unit, but
it is not so quickly available as is
nitrate of soda. The nitrogen in sul
phate of ammonia is readily avail
able, however, and it can well be used
as a topdresser.
Each of these materials leave
more or less harmful residues in the
soil. In the case of nitrate of soda
it is like alkiline, which results in a
poor physical condition of the soil
commonly known as “puddled.” Sul¬
phate of ammonia, on the other hand,
leaves a very different residue, or
one that is acid, which in large a
mounts will tend to diminish crop
production, due to the inability of
most plants to grow in a soil that is
appreciably acid. It is very doubtful
however, if either of these nitrogen
carriers is ever applied in sufficient
quantities, and over long enough
periods, on the average fam, to cause
any ill effects on account of its use.
Inasmuch as these two residues will
readily combine to form a salt which
may be slightly beneficial—at any
rata not in the least harmful—it
seems that the ideal material for a
topdresser would be a mixture con¬
taining approximately equal amounts
of each- Experiments with a mixture

nitrate) when applied to cotton at

It is interesting to note that the
gain due to the topdresser was al
most GO per cent, or one-half as much
again, on the plot receiving a
plete fertilizer; and that there was
a considerable increase due to the
topdresser on the plot that received
no other fertilizer. These figures
serve to indicate that on land in a
medium state of fertility, and ferti
tilized with a fair application of a
complete fertilizer, the addition of
160 pounds of a topdresser will ma
terially increase the yield of cotton,
with seasonal conditions such as
those prevailing in 1919.
The time to apply topdresser is also
0 f great importance, especially now
^at the presence of the boll weevil
requires that everything possible be
done to hasten the maturity of an
early crap. It is the opinion of the
writer that, generally speaking, top
dressers are applied to late for maxi¬
mum benefits, especially under the
boll weevil conditions, and that best
results will be obtained by applying
when the cotton plant is about knee
or j us t beginning to fruit well,
Briefly summarizing: Experiments
indicate that the application of 100
to 150 pounds of a topdresser, pre
ferably a mixture of nitrate of soda
an( j su |phate of ammonia, will mater
ially increase the yield of cotton; and
it is believed that best results will be
obtained, under boll weevil condi
tions, by applying somewhat earlier

How’d you like to hop a horse car
Like you did long years ago?
Don’t an auto beat an ox-cart?
Well, 1 rather reckon so.
Do you argue that an hour glass
Beats a Waltham all to smash?
Do you use the same old system
Keepin’ books and counting cash?
Do you trim a goose quill neatly
When you want the ink to flow?
Don’t you think there’s been im¬

In the last decade or so?
Tell us are you advertising
In the same old foolish way
That your granddad did before you
And persist “It doesn’t pay?”
Think the whole world knows your
address?
"Cause it hasn’t changed for
years?”
Wouldn’t the pathos of such logic
Drive a billygoat to tears?
Just a card is all you care for?
Hidden, lonesome and unread.

Teling folks that you are dead.
Wake up, and take a tonis,
Bunch your hits and make a drive!
Run a page and change your copy,
Advertise and keep alive!

alarming shortage of print paper the

GETTING NEWS RIGHT
IS NOT AN EASY JOB.
tt I’ll never again complain about
the mistakes in the paper,” a coun¬
try editor heard one woman say to
another on the train.
At the words “mistakes in the pa¬
per” the editor naturally pricked up
his ears, and inasmuch as the two
women were sitting across the aisle
from him and were conversing so
that those who rode might hear he
could not very well avoid taking in
what followed.
M I had a little experience the other
day the speaker went on, “which
cured me. Our editor was sick, and
since I’ve written quite a good many
things for the paper, he asked me if
1 wouldn't get some news for him
that week. I thought it would be fun,
and so i said I would.
it Of course it happened that there
was a fire in town that week and 1
started out to find out about it.
From three absolutely reliable people
I got three absolutelyy different sto¬
ries. Finally I appealed to the chief
of our department and he gave me his
version. His story didn’t agree with
any of the othre three, but I thought
if he didn’t know, no one could, and
so 1 wrote it up that way.
“Was it right? It was not. It so
mppened that a traveling man dis¬
covered the fire and turned in the
alarm. The day after the paper came
out he was in my husband’s store
telling about it.
tt The wonder to me is the editor
ever gets anything right. I’m through
critizing. tt
The country editor got up quietly
from his seat and went out on the
rear platform Where he could sing the
