NEED OF MORE FERTILIZERS
Amount That Can Profltably Be Used
Depends Mainly on Condition
Of the Soil.

We use millions Of dollars worth OF
commercial fertilizers in the south
every year. We should use ten times
the amount we now use, However,
our. soil is not now in the proper me-
chanical condition to use more than
we are now using,
The amount of commercial fertilizer
that can be proiitably used on soil de-
pends mainly on the depth OF the soil
and the amount Of humus IN 1t, II the
soil is thoroughly pulyerized for from
eight to fifteen inches deep and filled
full of vegetable matter It will gener-
ally pay to apply as much AZ LOCO
pounds per acre However, II we burn
of the grass, trash, corn stalks and
other vegetable matter and scratch
the land about two inches deep It Is
not advisable TO use more than 200
pounds per acre, Break the land deep
this winter and turn under all the
vegetable matter in sight and you

cation of fertilizer next spring,

II may not be wiz the power OF
every live stock breeder to stock his
farm with pure bred cattle, but the
least that can be done is to obtain a
good, pure bred sire and by breeding
him to the grade cows he will soon
have a herd which from all appear
ance will resemble pure breds,
1t is natural to expect pure bred
COW to produce more milk than a
grade, owing to the fact that her
breeding has been carefully looked
after for hundreds of years, to see
that no beef type has been crossed
with the milk.producing type while
the breeding Of the grade COW has

For Better Fairs.

Many Of tho county fairs enjoy II
much better patronage than they de-
serve The gamblers, the grafters and
the questionable amusements have the
right OF way while the farm exhibits

place, Such county fairs are certainly
not fulfilling thoir mission Of Odyonc'

down,
"Ail Of it," he admIttsA, I can't un-

In addition to this weight OF, say
two hundred pounds, fifty thousand
dollars would make considerable

Therefore Il would appear that the
