as much protein as possible in the

cd practiced by the better dairymen
of the state. ''Grow more protein"
should be the cry OF the dairy farmer.
Whether protein can be secured
cheap!y enough to proouce milk at the
prevailing prices depends altogether
on the cows fed. With a good class
Of dairy cows there IS no question but
what 1t can, but with poor lass Of
cows any kind Of iced is too high

There are two classes of farmers
One class looks upon the soil they till
as mine-a something out of which
they can continually take elements to
produce crops without giving anything
| in return. The other class considers
The soil a bank, an institution from
which they may borrow fertility to
produce crops but to which they must
return what they have borrowed.
The soil miners are in the majority.
Instead of paying back what they bor-
row, like they are compelled to do
at the bank, they believe they have
the right to take the fertility from. the
soil, like the miner takes coal from
the mine-a constant removing with
10 return.
Let us see how the farmer mines his
soil. To produce an average crop of
corn, so bushels per acre, the soil
must give up something like SO pounds
of nitrogen, 80 pounds of phosphoric
acid and 20 pounds of potash. These
elements are quoted on the market at
II cents per pound for nitrogen, z
cents for phosphoric acid and cents
per pound for potash. This means
that every acre of corn that produces
so bushels of grain and the necessary
fodder will remove from the soil
something like 1890 worth of nitro
gen, $40 worth OF phosphoric acid and
$3.50 worth of potash. A total of
$3.50. If you have so acres in corn
your field is required to put into the
corn crop 1856 worth of fertility each
year. II you have raised an average
Of so acres Of corn each year for 80
years you have taken from the soil
$25,650 worth of that soils fertility.
1t matters not whether this grain and
fodder have been fed in your own lots
and the manure allowed to remain
there, or whether the crop has been
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1906-06-29

removed from the farm, the result IS
the same. The fertility has been re-
moved from the soil and the soil will
ever be the poorer unless the equiva-
lent Is returned.
The average acre of wheat removes.
according to Warrington, 45 pounds
of nitrogen, % pounds Of phosphoric
acid and 80 pounds Of potash. This
is loss to the soil of $7.65 for nitro
gen, $1.61 for phosphoric acid and
$1.20 for potash-a total of $10.46.
If you raise so acres Of wheat each
year your soil is compelled to give
up S525 worth of fertility. If you
raise an average Of so acres of wheat
each year for 80 years your soil is
robbed of $15,75O worth of plant food.
An average acre of oats uses up
so pounds of nitrogen, 20 pounds Of
phosphoric acid and 40 pounds Of pot
ash. This crop takes from the soil
$3.50 worth of nitrogen, $40 worth
of phosphoric acid and SLIGO worth
of potash-a total or $11.50 for each
acre. If you grow so acres Of oats
your field must give up 1915 worth Of
fertility and If you raise an average
of so acres each year for 80 years, the
supply of plant food in your farm has
decreased to the extent of $17,250.
If you have raised an average of so
acres of corn, so acres of wheat and
so acres of oats for the last 30 years
you have taken from your soil, in
these crops, ;$5S,650 worth of the ele-
ments that your soil should have to
produce future crops. Is it any WON
der that your soil shows signs Of
wearing out, especially If you have
made no effort to return these ele.
ments to the soil from which these
crops have been removed?

yTENNA TOWNSHIP.


March 1b--Last Tuesday we accom-
panied to the grave one whom we have
all loved, and by whom we have all
been loved in return. Mrs. Fanny
jackson lived life of love. In her
soul there was no element of discord,
and her pathway thru life may be
traced by the flowers of kindness she
left by the way. AS pure as the sun
shine as it plays among the first bright
green leaves in the early spring, she
kept always among those to whom she
could purify and uplift. In her quiet
Way she was power in our little COM
ma1nity, and her influence was felt far
beyond the precincts of her surround
ines. Her kind admonitions kept one
boy on the right side when i'm far away
fields he was tempted and about %
fall Her sweet smile was a light to
the ones who might otherwise have
strayed from the path OF duty. To
these. outside of her immediate family
her memory will linger long, and the
impressions made by her will live to
bear fruit in world to come.
But if we wish to see the best of
this dear woman, we must enter the
home where she was the magnet and
star AS a wife, her equal is seldom
seen; as a mother, sacrifice was her
only apparent ambition, and thru sick
