hay and ensilage were fed. She
was MIXED three times per day
and a record of the amount of
milk was kept. Two days out of
each month the milk was tested
by men representing the State
Dairy and Food Commission.
This test was used to estimate the
total amount Of butter in the milk.
The. total cost Of feed was ap.
proximately 5000 for the year.
A comparatively high cost OF
feed naturally results from the,
high level Of prices during the
year and partly, Of course, from
the fact that such COW has to be-

The milk was used with the milk

Fertilizers for Wheat.


is rapidly increasing in Missouri.
The facts are, that on practically
all of the land in the state where
wheat is extensively grown, ex-
cepting the river bottoms and
some Of the better soils in cen-
trail and northwestern Missouri,
fertilizers have been found to pay
handsome profits when properly
used. This has been shown by
numerous experiments which the
State Experiment Station has
been conducting throughout the
state, as we'll as by the expert
ments of many farmers.
The first problem is to know
what fertilizers to use, and this
is one of the most difficult ones
which the farmer has to solve,
since soils vary in their fertilizer
requirments from one type to
another. It is almost necessary
therefore, for each farmer to de-
termine for himself the most pro-
fitable application. The results
on the various experimental fields
throw a great deal of light on this
question and may be given brief
ly as follows;
First, that practically all Of the
wheat soils Of Missouri lack two
elements in particular for the
profitable g production of
wheat. These are nitrogen
and phosphorus. Consequently
lands which contain these two
ingredients in large quantities
are found to bring the largest
returns.
Second, 1t has been demon
strated very conclusively that fol
most Of the wheat soils Of the
state nitrogen and phosphorus
are Of spsciahimportsnoe In in
creasing yields and also in bring
ing a large net return. The
question, therefore, resolves it's
self int matter of supplying nj
trogen and phosphorus. Since
nitrogen Is the most expensive
element when purchasing a fer
tilizer it has been found that Or
dinarily it is much more econom-
ioal to put the nitrogen into the
soil by means of such crops as
oowpess and clover and to apply
phosphorus as a fertilizer. Con-
sequently where a man can ro-
tate his crops with reasonable re-
} gularity, inserting a crop Of
clover or cowpeas every three Oh
. four years the application of 10C
/ TO 150 pounds of superphosphatc
or steam boon meal will be a mos
? economical application. The
\ superphospate is moro soluble
/ than the bone but does not havI
D as lasting effect; consequently
for the man who wishes to main
I tain the fertility, the bone woulC
