Those that had been IN clover yielded

In another experiment oats were
grown on four plats, following respec-

Commercial Fertilizers.

The most economical use Of CONNER
clal fertilizers Is only reached when
they are applied in rotations In which
the soil Is maintained In good moisture

nure or the vegetable matter from
crops grown for the purpose.
Although the food elements In com

several conditions needed for the best
development OF the crop. 1t is impor-
tnnt that these elements should be
suited 10 the demands Of the crop at
every stage Of It's growth. else the
product win not be as large as the 9th

Of fertilizers with the annual crops
