1873 bushels; oats from 52.2 to SO
bushels; wheat from 1919 to 1862 bush
els; hay of from 81 to 4 tons per acre.
Crops Return So for 81 I'm Fertilizer.
The manure used at present is treat
ed with ground phosphate rock or
floats, during its accumulation in the
stable at the rate of 40 to so pounds
per ton manure, or about 400 pounds
per acre and at a cost of about SLIGO
per acre. The lining has cost about
Sc per acre, and the fertilizer used on
the wheat about $6.40-a total of $14
for the four-year rotation. But the
gain of 25 bushels of corn, of oats, 16
of wheat and l 1-3 tons of hay would
have a total value of $40 per acre. In
other words, the cost of treatment is
being recovered nearly three times
over in the increase of crop.
What Can Actually be Done.
OF course, it is not possible tc return
in the manure made from the produce
of an acre of land all the elements of
fertility withdrawn from that acre by
the crops grown upon 1t, but by proper
attention to accumulation of nitrogen
through the growing of leguminous
crops in systematic rotation, and by
restoring the comparatively small
waste of mineral elements it becomes
possible to prevent further loss of fer
tility, while the present market price
of materials carrying all the essential
elements, including nitrogen, is such
as to justify their use as supplements
TO manure.
Suggests Soy Beans for Illinois.
Corn alone is not an economical nor
a healthful food for man OF beast, while
all experiences show that rotation of
crops is absolutely essential to the
highest yields. 1 venture the sugges-
ton that If the soy bean were substi-
tuted for part of the corn crop grown
ed increase in the total food produc-
ton of the soil and in consequence
prosperity of the farmer.
Live stock System the Best.
The land now under cultivation is
yielding only about half the produce
which it is possible and economically
practicable to secure from It. The
ulSuSSt VI lOOu elAAN CAObhAuS
for humanity can only be obtained I'M
der a system of agriculture in which
the scientific feeding of live stock and
the use of resultant manure is a lead
ing feature, because the lower animals
are necessarily sources of food and
clothing, and especially because they
are able to convert into the most nu-
tritious of human foods substances
which are indigestible in the human
stomach and yet are necessary parts
of the plants which produce our food
grains.
Illinois Has the Most Help.
In the splendid work which is being
done by the Illinois experiment sta
ton through its carefully conducted
soil tests, and through its extensive
in the nutrition of ami
mails, the farmers of this great state
have the opportunity to conduct their
business in the light of such a knowl-
ad1a of the factors making for success
