In the course of an earnest appeal
on behalf of the Royal Literary Fund
at the Whitehall rooms last night. Mr..
Anthony Hope Hawkins remarked that
when q man ono got into authorship
there seemed to be no known means of
getting out os 1t. Rarristers and solicit
tors. soldieIs and sailors, were all
handy men. They could turn their
energies and brains in half q dozen
different directions. but what could the
poor author do2 Any sensible mar Of
the world would tell them that he was
At for nothing. Could he become q
chief constable, could he become q
company promoter, could he emigrate
and break up virgin SOIL? He himself,
IL he might take q humble example Of
q working author, had constantly been
in the habit Of reading the advertise
ments IN h newspapers, and he con-
tessed that he had never seen d public
appointment y office which he felt
himself fitted to fuihlt.

GROWING CORN SCIENTIFICALLY
Requires Great Deal Of Pains Taking Labor But One Is Rcpa
by The Increased Crop

The testing of seed corn is very i'm
portant this spring. Not in many
years has the question so closely APP
pealed to the farmer as it does now,
Much Of the seed corn saved in the
corn belt states for this seasons plant
ing is showing low termination and
better cultivation than ever will be
necessary to produce big crop.
A good seed bed is the foundation
Of the crop. or rather the first stone
upon the real foundation, the seed.
Presuning that tho corn ground is in
proper rotation and sufficiently man
ured, II should be worked UP as mel
low as garden bed. II stalks are on
tho ground they should be disked both
ways. the rollers being ground sharp,
then follow with spading disk, and
work the soil thoroughly four or Ave
inches deep
1t is hardly possible to spend too
much time in preparing the ground.
It should be disked three times each
way making six workings before plant
Ing.
When stalks are plowed under a
good plan II to harrow first then pillow,
then harrow again and plant.

NITROGEN IN SOIL

To most people soil is either rich
or poor.
If a soil is productive, It IL re-
garded as rich; on the other hand
If only limited and inferior crops can
be raised, the soil is regarded as pro-
portionately worthless.
Few people excepting those who
have made more or less OF q study
Of the soil are aware that, practically,
one element decides the fertility OF
the soil. This is nitrogen.
Nitrogen Is one Of the most inn
portant elements In nature. It bal
ances the air so that we can breathe
it. Without nitrogen to hold the oxy-
gen in check, 1t, would be absolutely
impossible to strike a match. A
spark would cause an explosion that
could be heard as far as the sun while
every living thing would be instantly
destroyed.
In the body Of plant or animal. 1t
Is one OF the most important elements.
In the soil it is the principle element
which decides its fertility. Soils are
rich or poor according to the amount
Of nitrogen they contain, especially
with regard to the other elements
which make up the soil. It Is from
the soil that most plants get their
nitrogen and 1t Is from these plants
that we get flesh. butter and eggs, in
the shape Of protein.-C. G. w.

Forestry has proven a great sbeneft
to the farmers Of Germany, especially
in the care and management Of their
wood lots. Mr.. Raymond Orr, Of the

AS tho farms In Germany are small
and the land every valuable. every
available piece of ground 10 put to
some use. even permanent fences be-
ing done away with to mako the fields
larger.
In many cases farmers have set
aside 10 to 40 acres for the growing
