SOLDIER IS HANDY
 WITH HIS STYLUS
(From Sundays Daily.)

tTIom sunday Dally.)
 Hardly a week has passed since Charles A. Zoss, the check manipu
 lating soldier of Whipple, gained hi,
 freedom, and with an unsuitable ap petite to handle the pen and draw one more chunk of money, without having cent to his credit, to meet the demand, he is again behind the bars of the county jail, with an. other complaint of fresh charge lodged against him yesterday. His victim this time is John Quebec of the Miners Home, from whom he re. eeived the sum of s. He was arrest, ed yesterday at Whipple.
 In his financial rambles over the city, some weeks ago, Zoss secured on his paper the neat sum of s17O, from the generous mercantile people, and when the bank refused to honor his checks, he was arrested and kep, in jail until several unfortunates of the underworld took compassion on his jail E1le, it is alleged, and char itably came forward to iquidate that amount. He felt elated over this kind act, and seized with the wild ela- tion to be ''good fellow,'' went at the business again, saying it was "easy" money.
 Queleco, in his statement, made yes terday, says that another soldier of Whipple got to his financial spine some days ago to the tune of 5000, and produced the bad checks to back up his assertion. The soldier in this ease is at present in the guard house at Whipple, and when he is released will be arrested to answer to the charge, this move being agreeable to the military authorities of the post. MT. Quebec is seriously considering the proposition of changing the name of his establishment from the Miner g Home to the more applicable one of the "Soldier's Home," if the mone- tary bombardment continues in the future as it has in the past.

proportions in some sections and in
much smaller proportions on other
lands of different type. Indeed, 1t is
probable that on many Southern soils
1t does not pay TO apply potash at all
for any Of the staple crops. This.
as we'll as the amount and percent
age of the other plant foods to be ap-
piled, is matter which can be deter
mined only by careful experiments on
his soil by the farmer himself. IL is
chiefly for this reason that the prac-
tice of mixing fertilizers at home in
such proportions as are needed by
the crop TO be fertlized Is to be adj
vised And this is why IL Is so vital
ly important for Southern farmers to
learn how. not only TO Judge OF the
needs of their soil as regards plant
foods. but also to determine the
amount OF each of the plant foods In
a fertilizer and to adapt the fertil-
izer used to their individual needs
What the Farmer Must Learn.
To sum up the whole matter. then,
1t may be said that the farmer who
wishes TO use fertilizers economically
must consider first the processes of
plant growth and nutrition He must
next consider the special part which
each of the plant foods answers In the
development of the plant Then. at

,sition and physical condition. of the
soil and 10 the particular demands OF
tho crop which is to be fortified
After this. and from knowledge of
these things, the adaptation Of the

All this is a matter involving ear
nest study and some very careful.

this study and work TO the solution
of his fertilizer problems than for
him to continue. as SO many are

buying these fertilizers by guess
work and using them in some cases
only TO assist in the depletion OF the
soil and thus TO make farming less
profitable and more uncertain with
each succeeding year.
The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1910-1920, 1910-04-23
What Limits the Crops.

IL must be remembered always
that the growth of any crop is limit
ed by the supply of that plant food
which is least abundant, and no sur
plus OF any one element can make up
Tor deficiency of another. Indeed
the growth Of the crop is limited by
the lack of moisture in the soil to
make available the plant food there
present oftener than by any actual
lack OF the elements which the plants
Iced on. Other limiting factors of
crop growth may be too much moist
ure In the soil, soil acidity or poor
physical condition which does not
permit Of proper aeration Of the soil
and of the necessary development Of
bacterial life.
1t is because they correct these diff
fculties in the soil that stable and
green manures are so much needed
on most Southern lands. And II is
for the same reason that the same
amount of plant food applied in these
manures will usually give far better
results than an equal amount of
more readily available food applied
in the form Of commercial fertilizers.
Indeed, it is not too much to say that
in most cases the greatest need of

lMAN at the beginning Of this series
of articles, largely upon the under
standing by the farmer of a few fun
damental principles, and his ability
to apply his understanding of these
principles to his particular conditions.
In the first place, it must always
be remembered that fertilizers are
primarily plant foods; that they bear
the same relation to the plant that
corn and oats do to the horse, or
bread and meat and butter do to the
farmer himself. In any soil there is
enough of all the plant foods to sup
ply the needs Of very large crops for
a great many years, but most of
these foods are in such form that
they can not be used by the crops.
1t is only when these foods are dis
solved in enough soil water TO enable
the plants to draw them up through
the minute root hairs by which they
feed, that they can be utilized at all
The farmer who applies fertilizers
to a soil, then, simply puts food for
his crops where it can be reached by
them. And to be Of any value this
food must be in a form in which the
plants can utilize it.
The Three Plant Foods We Buy.
The three plant foods usually APP
piled are nitrogen, which goes large
ly to the development of leaf and
stem; phosphoric acid, which is use
full chiefly in promoting the develop
ment of fruit and grain, and potash,
which aids in the production of
starch and gives vigor to stem and
foliage and perfection to flower and
fruit. nnm
The most commonly used fertiliz-
ing materials supplying nitrogen are
cottonseed meal, nitrate of soda,
tankage, dried blood, fish scrap. and
stable and green manures Phos-
phoric acid is chiefly derived from
acid phosphate, floats, basic Stag and
bone meal. Potash is bought chief
ly in the form of muriate, sulphate
and kainit, and is also obtained in
considerable quantities from wood
ashes and tobacco refuse. A fertil-
izer containing all these elements OF
plant food is known as a Complete"
fertilizer.

Short Talks About Fertilizers.
A READING COURSE.-By E. E. MILLER
XIX.-FERTILIZER FACTS THAT SHOULD BE
REMEMBERED.

the soil is a larger supply of humus
which will give better texture to the
soil, increasing its moisture-holding
capacity and permitting Of better
aeration, and thus enabling the de
velopment of the soil bacteria which
change the elements of plant food in
the soil to available forms and make
it possible for the crops to utilize
them.
1t is always to be remem-
bered that even when commercial
fertilizers are applied. the ability of
the plant to use them is governed
largely by the condition OF the soil.
and that it is useless to expect the
best results from any fertilizer on a
soil which is improperly drained
which is dry or hard, or which is in
sufficiently supplied with decaying
vegetable matter. The man who
wishes TO use fertilizers economical
" must, therefore. give first atten-
ton TO the condition OF his soil:
for until he has IL In proper shape
he must inevitably fail TO get the
best results from any fertilizer he
may apply
Adapting the Fertilizer TO the Crop.
The next thing to consider Is the
lack of his soil in the available plant
food needed by the particular crop
he wishes to grow. And until he has
some intelligent idea of this, and can
therefore determine from a business
standpoint what plant foods his
crops most need. he cannot use fer
tilizers to the greatest profit.
1t may be stated as "A general rule
that practically all Southern soils
except What are known as rich"
bottom lands are deficient In nitro
gen. And with the possible excep-
ton of the alluyial lands OF the Mis-
sissippi Bottoms all will be made
more productive by the application
OF phosphoric acid On the sandy
soils OF the Atlantic Coast region.
potash Is much needed for most
crops, while on the clay lands of the
Southern hill country and on the
soils of the lower Mississippi Valley.
IL seems to be needed only for enectaI

The high cost Of nitrogen and the
fact that il is so readily iost from the

farmer to keep up the supply in his
land by the purchase OK II In com
