Mr.. Cornett forwards above to
the Message. Mr.. Cornett COM
ments:
The reply to my card to the
Indiana Experiment Station does
not agree with what / had heard
from two citizens of Indiana, tho
you can see from one passage of
Associate Abbott's reply that it
does agree in part. He writes
that what was claimed to have
been killed by fertilizers was
killed by downright soil robbery
and poor farming"-the fertilizer
expected to take the place of all
that was needed to keep up the
soil.
Mr.. Cornett further writes that
he is not seeking for publicity and
notoriety in this matter; he is
only wanting information and
facts for the good of the people.
He closes by saying: "The main
thing to do, in Audrain county,
is to put manure on the ground,
before the ground is broken, with
manure spreader; turn it under
and then you get every particle
of good out of the manure. II
you have been 'robbing' the soil
you may thus pay back all that
you took away"

Fell Into a Well,

Mrs. Thomas Jerman, who lives
One-fourth of mile east of
Cant, fell into a we'll at her home
last Thursday. The well is 30
feet deep and had II feet of water
in it. Mrs. Jerman went to the
pump to draw a bucket Of water
and two planks of the platform
gave way and let her thru. She
went under the water, of course,
and when she came to the surface
she seized the iron tube Of the
pump and held on till the neigh
bors were albe to get her out.
They worked for an hour and ten
minutes before they were able to
rescue her. She was in the water
from about one o'clock in the
afternoon to 2:10.
Mrs. Jerman is about 20 years
old and weighs $50 pounds. If
there had been no one at the home
at the time of the mishap she per-
haps would have been drowned.

SOIL ROBBERY.
Does Fertilizer Kill Land?--W
w. Cornett Has a Sug-
gestion.

Lafayette, Ind, Aug. 16, III.
Mr.. w. w. Cornett,
Laddonia, Mo.
Dear Sir =
Replying to your card of Aug,
11th | beg to say that the soil in
Indiana which is said to have
been killed by the use of com
mercial fertilizer was really
killed by down right soil robbery
and poor farming. Farmers ap-
parently expected fertilizer to
take the place of clover, manure
good tillage, drainage, and about
everything else and blamed it
because it failed to.
Commercial fertilizer has been
used for thirty years or more on
the Experiment Station farm and
during the entire period the
wheat yield has averaged %
bushels per acre in spite of one or
two years when it nearly failed.
That certainly does not look as
though fertilizer would kill the
land.
refer you to our circular 90
for a further discussion of this
subject.
Very truly yours,
j. B. Abbott,
Associate in Soils.
