Feb. 7 (11 A. P ) I)lcovery of the long-sought fer tilizer that will srovV zras nnd kill weeds is announced by the exierimrnt I station of Ithode Island Stnte College as the result of twenty years of re- . search. The realization of the dream nf gatdeiiers the world over a weedless law n - is possible without trouble or I expense, according to the othciiu college statement merely by the ue of am monium sulphate Instead of nitrate of soda in the aiinunl application of fer tiliser "Slowly but surely the weeds will disappear nnd the lawn will be come the even vilvcty reen that is the envy t every neighbor. "(iardeners hue almost universally ndvUed supplying nitrogen, the chief element in the plant food of grass in the form of nltiate of soda." says the statement. "This gradually tends to i rente an nlknllne condition of the soil which is especially favorable to 1 lie I growth of weeds. Soon the grass Is irowded out and the lawn has an un- rhelr spokesmen told the commission thnt market prices of fcheep, cnttlc and wool had fallen so low that western cattle raisers and farmers were no longer able to sell their produce for enough to pay freight rntcs.' The complaint contended that finan cial conditions made It Impossible to obtain loans! to ondltlon cattle for market properly, nnd thnt growers were compelled to sell "for whatever they tan get In an unmarketable condition." "Sheep hnve so declined in value that ttiev will scarcely pay the freight to market." the complaint snid. "The wool is unsalable, and crops of last year are stored with no buyers. "Within the Inst ninety days cattle, hogs and sheep have declined 40 to 00 per cent. This condition can lead only to bankruptcy nnd ruin of the entire farming districts of the country, which face prices below cost of production, while the cost of transportation Is 75 per cent above pre-war costs."

This Sale will continue to move forward, a symbol of better times, spreading the news of lower prices, and of greater values than have come to the listening ears of householders for years.
