Eastern wheatgrowcrs often speak of
"western competition and the difficult
ty of competing with the rich, fertile
lands Of the slope from the Rockies to
tho Mississippi. We hear little said out
west about eastern competition, and
yet Rural New Yorker thinks that that
is quite a serious thing If the old
farms east of Indiana were now produce
ing simply the wheat that could be
grown on the natural soil, there would
be little surplus, and grain growing in
the far west would be profitable. In
other words, if there were no fertili-
Zers to be had besides barnyard manure,
green crops and wood ashes, there would
be but few grainfields from Maine to
the Alleghanies. The wheatgrower of
the far west has strong competitor in
the fertilizer bag, which has enabled
sections like the Genesee valley, in New
York state to produce moro wheat on
fewer acres than when the land was
new.

constituent that the chemical" and
"pho.phates" furnish-eyery one.
Tie bone gives us the nitrogen, am
n.onia, phosphate, ammoniated phos-
phate, tankage that our fertilizer firms
advertise as their special for peas, beans,

have the plant food in the very best

BILE TO plants than that of unleached
wood ashes, no phosphate or nitrogen
more acceptable than those of raw bone

complete" fertilizer, better or more
effective than which no fertilizer firm
can possibly furnish.
Divested of all technical terms, here
in we have the whole story. Other sub.
stances contain the potash OF wood ash
rs, other substances contain the phos-
phoric acid and nitrogen of bone, hut
elements in form more acceptable to
plants Bone dissolved in sulphuric acid
(superphosphate will give tho plants
phosphate at once; nitrate of soda or
sulphate Of ammonia will give them nj
trugen sooner than will the bone. 1t is
merely question Of solubility. Potash
may be cheaper in the form of muriate
of potash, but no other fertilizer will
give plants the foods they need in a
more palatable form than will unleach-
ed ashes and bone Bearing this in
mind, our friends would find the per
plexities with which chemical ferti-
lizing and fertilizers are needlessly en-
veloped comparatively simple matter
Remember this: Potash and bone will
give plants all that the best proprietary

1t is great pity that many farmers
