any following, except that which has
been bought and paid for-withOut
any newspaper support, except that

governmental affairs-without any Of

why dairying maintains the fertility

about $3.50 worth of fertility. In SELL
ing $1,000 worth of corn we sell about
$3.50 worth Of fertility or constituents
which would cost the farmer this
amount If he were obliged to buy COM
mercial fertilizers to maintain the fer
tlity Of the farm. But we can convert|
$1,000 worth Of corr into beef, pork Or4
mutton and sell It in that form and not|
remove over $25 worth Of fertility from
the farm, or we can convert $1,OOdI
