are known by the curious names Re-

them during the long winter.
On Review Sunday everybody goes
to church. and after service there is a

other, but forbear to speak.
On Decision Sunday each bachelor
who is seeking wife approaches the

RIGHT FERTILIZING.
Handsome Profits and Often Enormous
Returns Follow.

Handsome Profits and Often Enormous
Returns Follow.
A. Goss of Indiana reports some very
interesting data on the use of fer
tilizers obtained by experience during
a number of years past il the southern
part of the state. His conclusions are
Of general value, however. One of
them Is that, while occasionally soils
are found that do not respond to fer
tilizers, usually some combination has
been found that has produced hand
some profits and not infrequently enor-
nous returns. There is, for example,
no question that the application Of pot
soil is very profitable in connection
with the growing of corn and other
crops. 1t also seems certain that the
liberal use of fertilizer on the potato
crop is highly profitable and that fer
tilizer will usually pay well on the
wheat and corn crops If used in the
proper proportions and right amounts.
The work that has been done empha-
sizes the. fact. however, that IN order
to secure the best results 1t is nec0s-
particular soil and crop to be used.
There is not the slightest doubt that
large and profitable increase in crop
production could be brought about in
the state by a more systematic and in
telligent use of fertilizers.
The turning under of leguminous
crops was found to be the cheapest
means of supplying gains and other
nonleguminous crops with nitrogen.
Experiments with untreated rock
phosphate in comparison with acid
phosphate indicate that the untreated
phosphate is "A cheap and effective
source of phosphorus where immedi-
ate returns are not required. For
quick returns acid phosphate or some
other readily available form should be
used" In these experiments heavy ap-
plIcatIons Of rock and acid phosphate
still showed marked results after three
years.
Similar results were secured with
dppllCdtIOHS vi potdSu, anu tue CoASAu-
sion is therefore drawn that there is
little danger of serious loss by leach
ing of either phosphorus or potassium
ON ordinary Indiana soil. Nitrogen,
on the other hand, is readily washed
out and should not be applied much in
excess of what can be taken care Of
by the immediate crop"
No Injurious effect on the soil was
observed from the continued use Of
acid phosphate,

VITALITY IN CORN.
Good Looking Seed Ears Not Away
Sure Producers.

Gooo Looking seed Ears Not Always
Sure Producers.
The low average yield per acre Of
corn graphically illustrates the neces-
sity for improvement. provided IT can
be effected with Il reasonable degree of
economy. Corn is the crop chiefly con-
cerned in the maintenance and extern
sion of our animal industries. and with
the disappearance Of the range country
1t becomes increasingly more impor-
tant from year to year. There Is no
danger of the corn crop exceeding our
needs, as the past season has plainly
demonstrated. Even with the average
ordinary yields the various uses to
which corn can be put multiply out of
proportion TO the increase in yield and
acreage per annum. While there is
much uncultivated land that can be
utilized for corn. it is nevertheless true
that the areas devoted to its growth
must be kept in condition to raise maxi
mum crops if the supply is to be main
tained at a good level, not TO speak of
increasing it materially. The improve
ment of the corn plant along rational
lines so that the methods can be adopt
ed successfully on every farm is a mat
ter of serious importance to the future
Of our agriculture.
1t is just as important to select and
grow a pure and perfect type of corn
as it Is to select we'll formed hog or
perfect type of dairy animal for breed
ing purposes A higher per cent Of
protein. greater productiveness and
other valuable qualities which may be
bred into corn by careful and intelll-
gent selection should greatly increase
the value of this crop to the farmer.
Farmers have pretty generally been
accustomed to think they could pick
out a good ear of seed corn with rea-
sonable certainty. V. S. Shoesmith Of
Kansas. however. declares that "it Is
surprising how few people can pick

out good ear of corn before they are
carefully instructed and trained in the
vital points both as to desirable quail
ties and defects"
All this leads to scientific corn test
ing While good farmers may judge
the vitality of corn with much correct
ness by its appearance, it is maintain
ed by many who have made study Of
this point that the termination test is
the only accurate method of judging
vitality, for sometimes corn which ap-
pears to be of low vitality will germi-
nate fairly we'll, while corn which ap-
pears to be of good vitality may not

Hackenschmidt, from whom Gotch

Gotch writes U. s. A. after his name.
Hackenschmidt has already signif1ed
