but it would occupy too much Of
your space for me to 60 into full
detail. The questions of Agricul-
ture. Education and Fertilizers,
were the principal subjects dIsduss-
ed. Fertilizers ELECTED the warm

erably divided as to how the com
mercial fertilizers affected the soil
and plants; whether they acted as
direct stimulauts TO the soil or
whether it is in itself a simple
plant food. From the way they
quoted the addresses of Profs. Ny
