crease of Is cents per hundred

ever, to the goods that fall in that
class and see how little it really
amounts to. Shoes, for example
belong in that class. At present

of nitrogen is may be seen from the fact that
1O0bushel crop of corn takes from the soil
almost 100 pounds of nitrogen in the corn and
about 4S pounds in the stalks. Rich, well-bal
anced land in the corn belt contains about
5000 pounds of nitrogen. Therefore, II the
process of subtraction of nitrogen goes on
year after year with never an addition, 1t can
be clearly that the farmers finances can
not multiply. Rotation plans for grain farm
ers always should include crop of legumes.
Wheat, corn, oats and clover is satisfactory
rotation: also wheat. corn and peas; also
cotton, corn and oats and peas. The first
of these rotations should include catch crop
of clover seeded the first year and plowed un-
der for corn as late practicable the second
year The other two should include catch
crops of legumes whenever possible. Legumes
when plowed under perform valuable services
besides supplying the soil with ntrogen-as
they decay they supply organic matter to the
soil which helps other elements OF plant food
to free themselves from the earth and into the
farmers bank account
Now that the question of nitrogen has been
outlined. suppose we turn to the problem of
phosphorus, the only element OF plant food we
ever shall have to buy. AS to the Importance
of the use of phosphorus upon the common
soils of the United States. DR.. Hopkins has
this to say:
phosphorus is the key to permanent ag-
riculture on these lands. To maintain or in
crease the amount of phosphorus in the soil
makes possible the growth of clover or other
legumes and the consequent addition Of nitro
gen from the inexhaustible supply in the air;
and with the addition of decaying organic mat
ter in the residues Of clover and other crops
and in manure, made in large part from clover.
hay and pasture, and from the larger crops of
corn and other grains which clover helps to
produce comes the possibility Of liberating
from the immense supplies in the soil SUFFICIENT

WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.

A physician, Of Portland, Oregon,
has views about food. He says:
Il have always believed that the
duty Of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we
owe 1t to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially by
hyg1enic and dietetic laws
with such feeling as to my duty
l take great pleasure In saying to tho
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation l have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts,
and that find there Is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used in all cases of sick
ness and convalescence.
1T Is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there Is
nothing SO nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach. especially at break
fast. to start the machinery of the hu-
man system on the days work.
In cases of Indigestion know that
. complete breakfast can be made OF
Grape-Nuts and cream and think it Is
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. also know tho
great value Of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach Is too weak to digest other

let US consider a few fundamentals OF crop
growing
First. there six positive, absolutely es-
sential factors. They are: ~ the Seed
(2) the plant home, (3) the food of which the
plant is made, (4) moisture, (5) heat CO.. light
Now, except in the of the seed and plant
food these factors are largely beyond the farm
ers control Dame Nature can, however, be
trusted to attend to them satisfactorily. How.
then. has the farmer made of his ability to
control the two factors? BY exercising judg-
ment and care in the selection of seed and by
ignoring the matter Of plant food entirely. The
result? When the land worn out and had
no plant food to give the good seed the agricul-
turist arose irately in farmers institute and
told what he thought of the seed seller. The
trouble all the time was not with the seed but
with the soil, which had had the elements of
plant food removed In previous crops. and as
q consequence could not respond to the call OF
the seed.
What are these elements? There are ten
in the list. but eight are provided abundantly.
Three-oxygen hydrogen and carbon-come
directly from the air and water. Most
NAL soils contain enough potassium, magne.
SUM, iron. calcium and sulphur, although some
times the first must be supplied. The problem
of plant food, therefore, narrows itself, in most
cases. to maintaining and increasing the phos-
phorus and nitrogen.
Now nitrogen Is as easy to catch as the
measles II one knows how. The air contains
1t In inconceivable amounts Dr. Hopkins has
estimated that the air above an acre of ground
contains about $10,O00,000 worth. II sold over
the counter at ordinary commercial rates. In
order to induce this nitrogen to enter the
earth. where It may reappear as food for man.
all that is necessary is to plant clover. alfalfa
peas or any legume. BY means Of the bacteria
upon tho roots these legumes draw the nitro
gen into the soil. How necessary the element

Fastening the impoverishment of the SOIL
To return to the question OF limestone. one
ton to the acre finely ground will correct the
acid condition Of most soils. 1t is. however.
in the end cheaper and easier to apply more
and to apply it less often AS much as ten
tons to the acre was applied to the soil Of one
of the experiment fields in southern Illinois
and the crop yields there have been greater
than upon any other fields in that district.
question that has been given much at
tention lately is the question Of crop rota-
ton Undoubtedly 1t is absolutely essential
for successful grain farming but 1t is not
the universal panacea some would have us be-
lieve. For instance. a group Of theorists
have declared that fertilization is unnecessary.
that crop rotation will keep the soils in per-
feet condition. The idea Is that plants do not
injure the soil because they use its plant food
elements but because they throw of poisonous
excreta as animals do. Therefore a so-called
worn-out soil simply has become saturated
with this excreta. Plant crop which will
neutralize the poison Of the last crop and the
soilso will be sweetened and the breasts of
Mother Earth kept dripping with plenty for
ever. This is very attractive-as theory. 1t
has, however, no foundation in fact. AS DR..
Hopkins has said the rotation Of crops has Just
the same effect upon wealth in the sooil as
the rotation of the check book among the
members OF the family has upon the wealth |
in the bank. Plant food elements cannot be
used up and not returned without resulting |
In impoverishment Of tho soil.

potassium, magnesium and other es-
sential abundant elements supple
mented by the amounts returned in
manure and crop residues for the pro-
duction Of large crops at least for
thousands OF years; whereas II the
supply Of phosphorus In the soil is
steadily decreased in the future in ao-
cordance with the past and present
most common farm practise, then
poverty is the only future for the
people who till the common agricultu-
raj lands of the United States"
Phosphorus may be applied in lib
eral amounts-as much as 1000 pounds
to the acre every three or four years
and 1t costs about 81 ton.
After the problem of returning the
elements to the soil has been solved
the farmer may find another condition
of the soil which must be corrected
before his farm will produce as 1t
should. This is the tendency of GER
tain soils to acidity. Glover, alfalfa
and other valuable legumes cannot
thrive upon soil that is sour. Some
times on acid soils when applications
of farm manure are made. the legumes
will seem to grow well. but exanina-
ton reveals the fact that the nitrogen
gathering bacteria fail to develop
properly. Hence the most valuable
contribution the legumes have to make
to the soil is largely lost. Upon GER

most famous agricultural stations In

land, applications of natural limestone
we're made a century ago. They are

pose Of correcting soil acidity.
