Phosphorus For Wheat.

Experiments in soil treatment have

King farm In Mclean county, and by
the use of PHOSPHORUS fertilizer the

The average yield on all plots which
were not treated with phosphorus
was twenty-four bushels an acre. The
average yield on the fortified plots
was flfty-eight and one-half bushels
an acre.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

DR.. Hopkins, Illinois soil ex-
pert, has hammered home the
theory that you cannot keep
taking everything out Of the soil
without putting something back.
His dictum has been justified by
recent experiments conducted
by the University Of Illinois,
which show that with the use of
phosphorus crops have been
doubled.
On the same farm the wheat
yield where phosphorus was
not used was twenty-four BUSH
els an acre; with the phosphor-
US the yield jumped to an aver
age OF flfty-eight and a half
bushels.
Farming Ia being rapidly rec
ognized to be as much of SCI
ence as the most intricate man

tific farmer is the one who Will
