 On Tuesday, January l9, the W. c. I. U. met in the home of Mrs. L. w. Welch. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. V. F. Olney, who also conduct ed the devotional exercises which consisted of song, "Blest Be the Tie That Binds," scripture reading, Lev. 26:l2-18. and prayer by Mrs. Knight.
 As there was no stated program for this meeting. after the reading and approval of the minutes of the previous meeting, miscellaneous topics were touched upon; all show ing progressive ideas and an eager ness to utilize every opportunity for the betterment of our state, county and town. In this work we realize that our first effort should be the removal of all stumbling blocks from the paths of others. If this spirit was predominant. our infr- ence would be such that in short time there would be no liquor traffic, in fact there would be so much sentiment against it that there would be strict laws against the manufacturing of intoxicants. The meeting was most enjoyable one closing with the benediction of the union.
 The next meeting will be with I Mrs. NJ. M. Shields February ?.

sider the points previously dwelt upon an explanation is at hand Not only was this soil low in fertility. but it's physical condition was very poor Had this land been put into good con dition physically by the addition Of manure or blowing under Ieguminous crops the result would no doubt have been different Time will be required in order to build this land up to the condition where fertilizers can bc ap- piled proftably and without fear of in iury to the soil
 FERTILIZER WORK WITH
 COTTON
 Work of very much the same nature as the fertilizer work with corn was carried on with cotton at Mena during the past season Six plots were used one of these was left blank, and to the remainder were applied different for mulae of commercial fertilizer.
 The formulac were as follows:

FERTILIZER WORK WITH
 CORN

With few live stock on the farms and therefore little manure the use of com mercial fertilizers is receiving a great deal of attention from our farmers of today. and with view of finding out what formula is best for corn, five diff ferent formulae were tested at Mena during the summer of 1908.
 We give briefly some of our findings as result of this test The plots and applications were as follows.
 mi ,AfT. \rfa
The Mena weekly star., 1909-01-28


 The result of this test shows that as with the corn the blank plot or the plot having no fertilizer upon 1t gave the lowest yield of seed cotton Plot No 2 gave the highest yield, it giving an increase of 23ll5 lbs. seed cotton over plot No. :. which was blank. Plot No gave the second highest yield, It welding but lG lbs. of seed cotton less than No. and slight increase over Plot No I, which was third highest in yield. No stood fourth. but the diff ference between the first and fourth was very small. only yield of S2 lbs of seed cotton per acre separating the two plots. Plot No. , gave the lowest yield. but 1t was only few pounds be- hind the others. The results of the plots upon which the test was made are remarkable for the uniformity of yield.
 As in the corn. the increased returns were not sufficient to warrant the eN- penditure of money on fertilizer. The same general remarks apply in this case as well as in the case of corn. With the land low in fertility and the physical condition so poor no benefit could be expected First of all the farmer should concern himself with getting his land into first class physical condition and then endeayor to raise the fertility content either 5y the use of manure or the use of concentrated fertilizer with out sacrificing the humus content.
