The Fertilizer Leak.

AS we have intimated above, there is
little or no need of buying nitrogen.
BY using clover and saving the liquid
manure, probably every farmer in the
state could secure full supply of nit
rogen practically free. That would
mean a saving to the farmers of about
100000. But this does not by any
means represent the whole loss. Were
the available supply of atmospheric
nitrogen utilized, every farm in the
state might be as rich in nitrogen as a
garden.
Look at another thing. There is no
better food for farm animals than early
cut clover hay. 1t makes more good milk
than almost any other food that can be
grown on our farms. In year an acre
of land in average condition will bear
from two two three tons of clover hay,
a heavy second growth, and then the
roots and stubble plowed under will
equal heavy cost of manure. Thus in
the clover crop you get the best of
feed, the richest fertilizer, and all at
the lowest cost. But how many acres
of clear clover are grown in Vermont?
Who has the push and energy to 60
ahead and test the thing, and find out
for himself whether these teachings
are correct? Who is going to SOW
clover-seed alone this spring? No
doubt there will be difficulties in the
way of attaining the highest success,
but il half of what is claimed for clover
is true, it will pay grandly, even with
partial failure.
1t is certainly time that something was
done to stop the fertilizer leak. The
last report of the Experiment Station
says that the farmers of Vermont pay
out over 100000 annually for fertil-
izers. One-third of this sum is certain
ly needlessly expended, and probably
half the remainder might be saved by
intelligent management. Not dollar
ought to 60 out of the state for nitro.
genous fertilizing material except in
rare cases.
What the farmers need is not so
much to have this or that or the other
aid given by the government or some.
body else, but to have intelligence and
enterprise. They need to learn the
best way to do and then go ahead and
do it. The growing of clover and the
home mixing of fertilizers are two SIM
pie matters which only require that the
farmer use his brains about half as
much as an average, successful bust
ness man does in running his business.
1t is the farmers brains that are to save
him in the present industrial crisis.
The farmer who has brains and uses
them will succeed; the one who either
has not brains or having them, fails to
use them, will fall far behind in the race.
This may be a hard doctrine for the
man who has not the brains, but we
really do not know of any substitute for
them, unless he can hire out to a man
who has them. Perhaps in the future
the men who haven't brains will have
to work for the men who have them.
