W.. Editor: [ have just returned

The month Of May, though the

| year with our farmers, who, having
been prevented by the wet Spring

corn aud cotton planted. Some OF
our farmers are trying Fur1nan's
plan OF %"lntenslve farming" uslug
more manure and less commercial
fertilizers. l think, Mr.. Editor, Tia,
farming is the most intense" work
a man can follow, at least it is 'in-
tehscly" hard, and could be made
more intensely remunerative, not
simply by making the land yield
more to the acre by using a small
quantity OF commercial fertilizer
and thereby imposerishlng the soil
bat by using more home made ma
uure; thus leaving a surplus to sup
ply the soil with the vitality which
1t exhausts in growing a crop. MIR

pile OF compost from his barn docs

. OF fertilizer. Two or three hundred

changed but little. Prairie hay is in
over supply, and dozen Or more car
loads have been stored, offerings as

about SIG per ton, and this is 50 to 81,
