A WARNING.
Fertilize Your Grounds, But be
Careful.

II. f. Miller, of the University
of Missouri, gives out the follow
ing, which every farmer in Au-
drain county may do well to
heed"
The amount of fertilizer being
sold in Missouri is rapidly in
creasing. This is due first to the
fact that the soil has begun to
show the need of it, second to the
fact that the farmers are becom-
ing more familiar with its use, and
third to the greater activity of
fertilizer manufacturers.
A commercial fertilizer is a con-
centrate1 form of one or more Of
the plant foods nitrogen, phos-
phOrus, and potassium in a more
or less soluble form which is ap-
piled to land to increase the am.
cunt of available plant food in thc
soil. 1t is not an easy matter to de.
termine just what combination of
these elements in a fertilizer will
bring best returns without field
experiments, but ordinarily on
soils that are badly worn the most
remunerative application is that
of fertilizer containing all three
of these elements, since such soils
are usually lacking in all three Of
these available plant foods. The
result of applying these elements,
therefore, in an available form
may be very beneficial and bring
a large net return.
A caution should be given re.
garding the use of fertilizers, how
ever, since it is very common for
men who find fertilizers to pay t.,
continue their use year after
year growing grain crops without
crop rotation, manuring, or tht
growing of clover. Such a system
will exhaust the soil of its humn,
supply just as rapidly as if thu
fertilizer had not been used, an
if continued will greatly injurt
the land. As the humus is burned
out by this excessive grain crop
ping the soil becomes more com,
pact. it loses its friable condition
and it will require more and more
fertilizer each. year to bring tn;
same return. The remedy for this
difficulty is not necessarily t.
stop using the fertilizer but rather
to combine with the fertilizer tn,
very best system Of crop rOta
tiOn, of manuring, and of clover
and cOwpea growing that a man
can practice. Where this is done
and the land kept up in rumus
fertilizers will not be only very
beneficial and pay excellent ne
returns, but they will also be of NJ
harm whatever to the land. Fer
tilizers properly used, therefore
will be of great value, but wher,
the fertilizer alone is depended
upon for a crop and all the othe
principles of keeping up fertilit,
are neglected, the land will b,
eventually injured.
