Fertilizers and Their Special Compost
ton and Cost.

ton and Cost.
The cost of fertilizers, says an exchange,
largely depends upon the kind of crop to
which to which they are applied, but the
composition of the fertilizer itself is also
matter of consideration. 1t may be added
that the soil requires special fertilizer for
a special purpose, and to use any other than
the kind needed is TO enter into an expense
that may be avoided. The needs of the soil
are not only for its own recuperation. but
for the crop it is to produce. The kind of
work to be done by the soil is the first con-
sideration, and to provide the soil with the
proper material for its work is the next.
One may purchase and apply q large
amount Of fertilizer, with no immediate
beneficial results, for the reason that the
soil is already provided with what it has
received as an addition. What the essential
requirements of his soil may be the farmer
cannot learn from books, but must observe
for himself by carefully experimenting as
well as noting the results of the growth
and productions of his crops from year to
year.
Because fertilizer is cheap does not indi-
cate it to be the proper kind desired. A fer
tilizer sells according to its proportion of
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash con-
tanned. For the legumes and also for grass
crops, the low-price fertilizers, which con-
tain but little nitrogen, and more than the
average percentage of potash, will some
times give better results than more COSTLY
fertilizers for the reason that t'ey contain

IN such cases the farmer would make a mis-
take If he purchased kind containly the
costly ingredients, but it would not be
economical on the part of the farmer for his
wheat simply because it can be procured for
less, as his crop would be but partially
benefited. The crops that require nitrogen

THE FIRE LIMIT.

The action of the City Council IN
extending the fire limits, aud Of making
requirements in regard to the erection
of buildings within the same is COM
mendable.
Roanoke has never had a large con-
Aagration, and if proper steps are taken
there are no reasons why it should ever
have one. The place has now become
city. Buildings stand close together
and the erection Of wooden structures
except on the outskirts where the
town is more thinly settled, ought to
be prohibited.
The class ofbuildings that are going
up now are much better than those
erected a few years ago, brick and stone
largely supplanting wood, and the pro
per protection of life apd property
makes it necessary that wooden build
lngs be not permitted IN the closel,
built section.

rnE COMMERCIAL CLUE.

Roanoke has long needed some or
eanization, whose particular duty
should be 10 look after The interests OF
the city and advance them in every
way possible. TIE city is not
lacking in enterprisiug men, men
who are willing TO contribute
literally to any project TO help
Roanoke in its, continued growth, but
organization is equally as necessary
as individual willingness to work Tor
the city.
1t is very trite saying, that what
is everybody's business IS noboly's
business, but it is nevertheless rue
one.
By supplying this want OF organiza-
tion the Commercial Club will FL 9

great deal of good for Roanoke. LIS
charter members include many o.
Roanoke's most prominent and reality
citizens and are sufficient guarantee
that the club will be we'll managed.
There will be plenty OF work for it tx
