Soil Analysis.

Alta great expense the state is conduct
fug the university ut Fayetteville and
attached TO it is an agricultural expert
meut station. which Is doing mach In
disseminating valuable information
among the farming population of the
state The state is every year becoming
more settled new lands are becoming
scarcer and intensive farming must take
the place OF extensive farming The
farmer who raises on ten acres what his
neighbor requires twenty acres for, will
have more money with iess labor at the
end of the year In this work the station
at Fayetteville can assist them greatly
by furnishing the farner an analysis of
his soil and telling him in what ingre
dent 1t is deficient and the best means
Of treating 1t for securing the best re-
suits. Growers are Invited to send
specimens of their soils TO the expert
meut station and all the expense they
will be AZ will be the cost Of sending,
while the result, il advice given is
carried cut, may mean doubling or
more of the crops grown. Aa is often
the caae, soils contain the necessary in
gradients for large crops. but they are
contained In such \ manner that special
treatment Is necessary TO release them,
All this can be fonnd out by chemical
analysis and the defect remedied. Speci-
al fertilizers are now one Of the estsb-
iished aids Of agriculture, but the farmer
cannot know which Is best for his soil
unless lie knows in what ingredient his
soil Is deficient,
We would advise our farmers to club
together send soils from their respective
neighborhoods, carry out the instruc-
tions they will receive and note the re-
suits, and we guarantee they will be
gratifed with the results. Otherwise
tine application OF special fertilizers Is u
haphazard affair that may give good or
indifferent results. OF course all good
farmers kpow that barn.yard manure
will benefit any soil but special ferti
lizers also All place.
