the same time rendering very great service to the
best interests of our country. We certain that
as time goes on as the dangers to the nation result
ing from the growth of the irrehgous spirit become
more apparent the wisdom of the Church s cause
will be recognized and applauded by our fellow
citizens
For those children who do not attend parish
schools there are the Sunday schools, and all the
children are kept at least in weekly touch with the
Church until their entrance into work or into the
high schools From this period the Church, knowing
the increasing dangers in their path, has various
gious societies whose main purpose Is to keep the
growing youth to the faithful practice of religious
duty, as well as to give them that larger knowledge
of Christian principles, obligations and motives
which their expanding intelligence requires Thus
the average Catholic child up to the battle of
life with a firm grasp of his faith instructed in his
duties, and with series of powerful helps to up
right living If he falls in the struggle, surely the
Church is not to be held in blame.
What now does the Church do for the moral and
spiritual life of her grown children? The parish is
the unit of organization, and every well conducted
parish of any considerable size has societies that
reach out to the several divisions of the congrega-
ton The married women and the young women
have each their own sodality, meeting weekly or
twice in the month, with all the members, In body,
receiving Holy Communion a month. These so
ceties of women in the larger city parishes not in
frequently number from SIX to eight hundred active
members
The general society for men is the Holy Name
Society," which fIourishes all over the country. One
of its objects is to promote reverence for the Holy
Name of Jesus and to maintain crusade against
profanity. Its members meet monthly and receive
HOLY Communion four times in the year. An allus-
traton of It's strength in this vicinity given in
the remarkable demonstration of last year, when
10000 men paraded the streets of this city under the
banner of the Holy Name of Jesus. And most of
them were young men. The special needs of the
young men are met in many parishes by associations
which to the usual athletic social and educational
features of young men, clubs add religious spirit
and observance
Attendance at Sunday Mass.
1t is to be expected that a large proportion of
every parish, if moi by far the largest will not be
enrolled in these societies Upon this great body of
worshippers, as upon the members of the societies
themselves, the Church brings to bear her three
great sources of dynamic power-the Sunday Mass

For years l have kept a condensed
record of the weather and my garden

at any time and tell just when fertil-

manner, and what kind was used.

stakes to mark each row or section
and entering record in my day book.
There was nothing whatever left to
guess work. The invariable result
was that all during the season there
was no difference in the appearance
of foliage and my neighbors could
never pick out the heavily fertilized
rows from those that had none. and
at harvest no one could tell any
difference in yield. | have always

to the guaranteed analysis. I believe
this because the fall crops always
showed effects of the fertilizer. L
have usually dug potatoes in July,
planting the ground Immediately to

most careful trials possible that for

nitrogen, and that should be used
separately in the form Of nitrate Of
soda, on growing crops. But for most
crops in this remarkable and unique
climate, neither it, or nitrogen in any
form should be used. A complete
fertilizer is all right in most other
countries but not on Puget Sound, in
my humble opinion. Here most
plants get all the nitrogen they need
from the air. Our giant frs are
evidence of this. Many of them stand
on soil destitute of nitrogen. Burn

Mr.. j. A. Pearson, most competent
farmer and gardener of Sedro-Woolley
has had some discussion with The
Ranch on the subject of fall fertilizing
for Western Washington crops. Mr..
Pearson's experiments appear to be
so thorough that we asked him to
give an account of them so that the
readers of The Ranch might get the
benefit, and he kindly consented to
do so. The subject of fertilizers is
one Of the utmost Importance, and we
will be glad to print criticisms for or
against Mr.. Pearson's contention.
Editor The Ranch,
Dear Sir: After using CONNER cial
fertilizers on Puget Sound for several
years, have become fully convinced
that they do the crop Immediately
following no good, and at your re-
quest | will give my experience. Pre-
liminary to this, | wish to say have
followed market gardening on Puget
Sound a number of years successfully
and successfully and have tried COM
mercial fertilizers on nearly all kinds
of vegetables grown in this region
and on sweet corn. | have tried
them exhaustively several seasons on
potatoes, onions and sweet corn and
they have invariably shown no effect
on the first crop either on rich or
poor land.
have tried them on both bench
and bottom land and on clay and
sandy soils. / have all the govern
ment bulletins on the use of fertil-
izers. I have been a constant reader
of number of leading agricultural
papers for over 20 years. have
circulars and directions from several
jobbers and manufacturers of fertil-
izers. [ have a good, up-tO-date Ii
brary on all that pertains to successful
farming and gardening supplemented
with over 30 years of practical ex-
perience as a farmer and gardener
and in using fertilizers on Puget
Sound have tried every reasonable
method | ever read or heard of in its
application. 1 have used several
brands of complete fertilizer mixed
specially for the kind of crop on which
! used it and obtained from the most
reputab BILE dealers in Seattle and Port
land. Each application was made in
April or May either few days before
or at planting, and when the soil was
found acid, fresh Stacked lime at rate
of 1000 lbs. per acre was always evenly
distributed andsharrowed in at least

one of them and the bulk Of it goes
back to the air, from which it came.
If the soil happens to be pretty we'll
stocked with nitrogen many crops
suffer from the excess. They make
too rank a growth of top and foliage
and fall down before they mature. Ii
potatoes make an abnormal growth
OF top and small potatoes form along
the stem and lower branches it is be-
cause there is too much nitrogen in
the soil and there won't be many
salable potatoes in the hill. 1t grain
was planted on this soil it would
make rank growth Of foliage and fall
down before 1T matured. Timothy or
clover would do the same. The
remedy for such soils is heavy APP
plication of muriat OF potash and
super phosphate. To apply complete
fertilizer would make matters worse
by the nitrogen in it contained. On
soils of average fertility my experience
has taught me to use muriat OF potash
and new ground bone only and apply
in fall or winter after blowing. If
the bones are used literally no lime
need be applied, unless the soil is
very sour, and the bones would furnish
sufficient phosphoric acid for two or
three years according to their tneness.
I now use no nitrogen at all except
for vegetables like lettuce, cabbage,
caulihower etc, where | want to en-
courage rank growth of top, and
then ! use it in the form of fine ground
nitrate of soda, applied while crop is
growing. 1t is good also for lawns or
pastures, to encourage rapid growth
of gra 50, and for timothy meadows on
thin land, but crop of clover turn ed
under on such land would be better
and more economical plan to get
nitrogen into such soil and it would
also supply the much needed hunus
which nitrate of soda would not.
On Puget Sound the ground re-
mains cold so late in the spring that,
in that condition, in my opinion,
commercial fertilizers act very slowly
and necessary chemical changes which
make them soluble and available to
plants do not occur until spring rains
have past and it is then too late to

benefit vegetables or early green corn
that mature or are harvested before
the fall rains begin | believe that
anyone who will make careful trial
on land that has not been previously
fertilized will agree with me in every
detail.

WANTED: A BETTER SYS-
TEN OF RENTING.

4 CONVERSAT ION the other day
4 with Mr.. A. " d Rinfoul of Kent
England, brought out the striking differ
ences between the English system of
renting land and the system, in force tn
our Southern States.
In England the renter usually remains
on the land for long period Of years
so that he has an interest in building mp
its fertility and improving the buildings.
1t is also custom for the landowner to
prescribe a standard four-yeor rotation
of crops and require the tenant to ob-
serve this. Another usual requirement
is that no straw shall be sold off the
land. but all fed to stock and the man
ure returned to the soil. In case ten
ant leaves. the land owner may recover
from, him If he has damaged the land or
allowed weed pests to over-run It, On
the other hand, the tenant gets pay for
oil permanent improvements either in
the buildings or in the fertility of the
soil.
The system of land renting now In
force in the Cotton States may continue
awhile longer, but in the end 1t can be
nothing less than ruinous, and we must
work out some better pidn-probobiy one
based on the English system with n1odi-
fications to suit the difference in con-
ditions. This is a subject which might
we'll be taken up and be discussed in
Farmers Conventions, Formers Union
meetings, ETC., by our readers.

The wonderful number OF crops that can be
grown In the South for hogs to gather for them
selves will make hog raising far more economical
than In the North. and there is reason under
the sun why the South should not be selling hogs
and bacon instead OF buying the white sides from
the Western packers weighted with barytes from
the Southern hills.

Zing the Importance of study more than they ever
did. When we organized the North Carolina A. &
NJ. College at Raleigh over twenty years ago, it
was hard to persuade farmers to let their sons
take the agricultural course, for they said there
money in farming, and they wanted their
to take the mechanical or engineering course,
or to study chemistry profession. Now, the
course in agriculture has become the popular
course of study, and there is wave of interest
sweeping all over the South in agricultural i'm
provement And yet, the number who realize
that they can put money in their pockets by read
ing and studying their professions is all too small
BY reading what other men have done, and are
doing, believe that any thoughtful man can add
at least $500 year to his income more than he
could without the reading. The discoveries of
scientists that helpful to the farmer can only
he learned by reading about what they have done,
and how their discoveries can be applied in prac-
tice the farm press tells And yet, there are
thousands struggling with poor land and not
learn. The great problem with those who would
help these is how to get at them and induce
them to learn. l sometimes think that the only
way we will ever get a reading farm population
is to raise it through the rural schools and the
colleges of agriculture working together, and thus
to finally replace the non-reading men with read
ing people.
COTTON SEED.-Whe, as Professor Duggar
says, the position of boil on the cotton plant may
not influence the earliness of the product, l feel
sure that bols borne on the branches starting
the base of the plant will produce plant of better
habit than seed taken from high up on the central
stem, and in breeding any plant, want to look
to the ideal plant in form as well as to the earli-
ness OF the product. We want compact and bushy
plants, well branched, and not Jackson Limbess
towering aloft.
DRYING FRUIT.-Any one who has some hot
bed sashes has the best of for drying fruit.
Right across the road from my house is an old
orchard OF apple trees 1t is owned by gentle
man who is holding it for the sale of city lots and
cares little for the fruit He told my wife to help
herself, and she has done So The apples were
pared and cut and spread hot-bed sash. A

another sash laid on these, and the way those ap-
pies evaporated in the hot sunshine was wonder
ful, and the result is, that we have dried apples

The best way to circumyent the terrapin bug on

before setting the cabbages. The bugs prefer
