The ears are short, however, and
the stalks thin and weak. Lodg-
ing is very common, but as the
stover is not commonly harvested
as forage, little note is taken of
this sign of weakness. To the
Eeastern farmer, mere super
fetal inspection of Western corn
fields shows at least one source
of diminished yields a lack OF
lime and potash. In many cases
lime is near at hand and very
cheap, YET verv little is used
The prairies lands particularly
need lime at least every three
years, but it is sure impoverish-
ment to lime such soils unless
potash fertilizer is used with the
phOsphates. 1t must be under
stood that potash as a fertilizer is
of no greater Importance than
phosphateS but that both potash
and phosphates are equally nee
essary. Commonly, the fertilizers
offered to the West have no pot
ash though rich in phosphates
and nitrogen, and this accounts
for the potash hungriness so fire.

teaches himself what these food
elements are and where to get

Psalm Singers in Africa.

The Columbia State, which by
the way is much better author
ity of high license than religious
principles, recently referred to
the Beers as the Associate Re-
formed Presbvterians of South
Africa" The Charlotte Observer
took tue matter up and remarked
that Rev. j. G. Galloway would
not endorse such a comparison.
1t seems that the Observer was
right. In it's issue of Wednesday
it has the following from Mr..
Galloway:
You are eminently correct in
thinking that [ would ohjec' to
the Columbia States calling the
Beers the "Associate Reformed
Presbyterians OF South Africa. :"
The TACT that the Beers are
Psalm-singers no more puts them
in the same class with Associate
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS than dses
the fact that every man who has
two hands and eyes is in the
same class with every other man
who has two hands and eyes.
