Plants Change.

Plants change their characters ac-
cording TO the conditions In which
they are. and this is more true OF the
artificial plants than any other Take
the wheats by way OF Illustration.
They have been so artinciRlly bred
for a long time that they are very
susceptible to conditions. A wheat at
the Tennessee experiment station that
had been bred TO have large
amount OF protein and a small amount
of starch suddenly developed a great
deal Of starch in a wet year when the
leaves grew large. This change, &C.
cording TO season. Is the hardest
thing to combat in any artificial plant.
and any plant that has been modified
by man is artificial. The more changes
we make with plants the easier are
changes made. The last 25 years has
seen more new brands OF cabbages
brought on the market than ever be-
fore and some OF them are very diff
ferent from the old varieties.

KEEP UP THE WHEAT LAND.
Fertility Of the Soil Must Be Kept UP
at Any Cost.

The fertility of the wheat land must
be kept up at any cost, but We are
certain that in some parts OF the west
the fertility is surely declining. only
a small per cent of our farmers have
as vet reversed the process. II Is easy
enough 20 keep up the fertility of the
wheat fields II the owner OF the wheat
farm is willing TO take the intorma-
ton that has been collected from the
experiences of other men. Wheat land
cannot be kept up in fertility II the
process OF wheat raising every year Is
followed.
Two things must be done--a rota'
ton must be established and some
fertilizer such as potash and phosphate
must be applied In some Quantities
each year. Rotating so as 10 bring In
a leguminous crop every few years
will help keep up the supply OF nitro
gen and will improve the physical tex
ture OF the soil. Potash and phos-
phorus can be applied In small quaint
ties each year at small cost per acre
and this must be done n the quality OF
the land Is to be maintained. Rota-
tion Is a good thing. but II can never
bring In potash or phosphorus mat
have been taken from the land or
which the land lacks.
With proper handling our wheat
landk can be made to produce the
great crops they did 80 years ago
In fact Il Is possible 10 make them
produce more than they did In their
old condition. for IN addition To put
ting back the fertilizer We can im-
prove them by draining. many Of the
wheat fields being In need OF this.
but this cannot all be done IN a day
A little should be done each year In
the way OF putting In the fertilizers
the crops must have. The benefits OF
rotation cannot be gained In a few
years. but the periodical turning under
OF sod or the roots OF ieguminous
plants will be- a constant method -
improving soil conditions.
