be so greatly benefited that the total
yield would be considerably increased
This is very crude substitute for drain
age. and should be adopted only as a
temporary expedient to tide over in an
emergency, but it is worth trying in
fields in which the plants are suffering
from an excess of water. 1t will pre-
vent the loss of good deal of plant food
and will make more effective the manure
that has been put upon the land.
One other means for making the most of
manure should be noted. This is by sup
plementing its deficiencies, where such ex-
list. These deficiencies may be either in
the way of quantity or in that of quality.
Ii the former, the remedy is plain. More
plant food should be supplied at once.
Otherwise, what has been furnished will
not be used profitaby. Small crops have
often been taken from fields that would
have produced large ones if a little more
plant food had been supplied. There
should be food enough to carry OUT the
crop as well as to promote a vigorous
growth Of stalk or vine. Then, too a
deficiency in the quality of the manure

flciency in quantity. If there is a lack of
either nitrogen, phosphoric acid or pot
ash, the manure cannot be as efficient as
il would be if these elements were pres
ent in the proper proportions, and if the
deficiency is very marked the manure may
do but little good 1t often occurs that
fields which apparently were well manur-
ed fail to produce good crops. The rea-
son for this failure is found in the cact
that one or more of the important food
elements had been almost exhausted from
the soil and the deficiency was not sup
piled in the manure. In such cases the
application of a moderate quantity of an
Immediately available fertilizer that is
rich in the element or elements in which
the soil is deficient would not only sup
ply plant food in itself, but would also
enable the crops to make full use of the
valuable materials contained in the ma
nure. In many cases this will be both a
cheap and an efficient way in which the
farmer can make the most of the manure
used on his fields.

Of these two leading crops. with corn the
