]. P. Melhoff, of the Leader Hard
ware Company, is havin@ a laugh at
a couple of his Germa friends, who
recently came from South Dakota.
They wanted to buy stove and a
water tank and because the price
here was higher than they had been
used to paying they ordered them
from the east When they came the
stove was a size smaller and much
lighter made than the one they had
priced, and would retail for at least
IS less. After paying freight they
saved exactly so cents. The water
tank they secured was four barrels
less capacity than the Mr.. Melhoff
hand shaved them, and had no
iron supports at either top or bot
tom. They saved about 50 on the
tank, but lost more than that in the
capacity and quality. Thew admit

UGGESTION ABOUT

let me suggest that successful farm

If your crop during
eason. with sufficient

thorough cultivation
thrifty growth, you may take IL
for granted that they were not pro-
vided by your soil with a sufficient
amount of the element nitrogen in
an available form. The remedy OF
course, is obvious-increase the
stock of nitrogen in your soil-but
its application calls for good judg-
ment. If you are engaged in gard
en,ng or in some specialized crop
tha,. commends high price. you
Inlay make liberal use of the COM
mercial nitrogen fertilizers which
can be secured through any dslicr
ii seeds. If yot are a grain farmer
the commercial nitrogen fertilizers
are far too expensive for you to
use. You have recourse to cheap
er supply. In thu air over your
own fields is an inexhaustible sup
ply of nitrogen; as long as it re-
mains there it is of no use as food
to your growing crops. In your
soil are countless numbers of will
ing worker (bacteria), capable, il
given proper conditions to work un-
der, of taking from the air a por-
tion of this inert nitrogen and of
manufacturing from it compounds of
the greatest value to growing crops.
They associate emselves with
the group of plants we call legumes.
Attaching themselves to the roots
of these plants they work industri-
ously if given sufficient amounts of
moisture and air.
Hence, if your soil from last sea-
sons experience, appears to be in a
low state of fertility. first of all
open it up thoroughly for the ent-
rance of air and water by plowing
deep, this fall if possible. Next
spring prepare a good seed bed and
plant to field peas or other legum-
inous crop as extensively as your
conditions will permit. Over the
whole field at harvest time leave
as liberal amount as you possible
can OF traw and stubble to be plow-
ed under for the benefit of the sue
ceeding crop. Several years treat
ment of this will effect remarkable
transformation of what may now ap-
pear to be soil of inferior quality.
