Making of the Crop.

large VI PlOhIoOAS WIPE I'm
essential elements of fertility in
the soil, the potash, the phos-
phorus and the nitrogen must be
present in the soil, or they can
not appear in the crop. Other
elements there are, but with the
possible exception of lime these
are present in such abundance in
our soils that we need give no
attention whatever to their sup
ply.
Even when these are all there
in abundance, the soil must be
in proper physical condition or
else the plants can not use them.
The soil can not, under ordinary
circumstances, or under any cir
cumstances, be in proper physi-
cal condition unless it contains a
considerable amount Of vege-
table matter. Most of our soils
in the Mississippi valley that
fail to produce crops fail not be-
cause of any lack of potash, nor
ordinarily in the newer lands Of
phosphorus. They are frequent
ly lacking in nitrogen, however,
simply because they lack vege-
table matter, or, speaking broad
ly and not technically, humuS,
with which much of soil nitro
gen is combined. The constant
cropping of the soil, or cultiva-
ton without cropping, naturally
exposes to the atmosphere and
burns up this vegetable matter.
Hence the imperative necessity
of maintaining the supply either
by growing of grasses, especi-
ally the clovers, or by the APP
plication of farmyard manure.
But even with all these, as
our farmers have found out this
year, there must be other things
that 60 to the making of a big
crop. Plants take all their food
in liquid form; and hence, with
out the abundant supply of mois-
ture in some way, it is in vain
that we expect a first-class crop.
In fact, the crops this year have
been measured by the amount Of
water which the plant could sup
ply to the growing grain.
In some sections the oats crop
has been very light, for the SIM
pie reason that oats require near
ly twice as much water per pound
of dry matter as corn, including
both the stalk and the grain. We
have a great many barren stalks
in our corn fields this year, more
than we realize until we go into
the field and actually count them,
for the simple reason that the
roots were able to furnish enough
water. for the stalk, but not
enough to justify it in attempt
ing to start an ear; and even
when an ear was started, the in
telligence of the plant taught it
that it must shorten this ear if
it would produce any corn at all.
Other years the crop has been
limited by the temperature. Corn,
being a semi-tropical plant, re-
quires intense summer eeat, and
sometimes the the crop is short
ened for lack of it. The crop
this year has, however, even
where the plant food was abund-
ant, been measured by the
amount of water that the roots
could deliver to the plant. The
skill of the farmer has been.
shown in maintaining a large
amount of vegetable matter in
the soil, thus enabling it to hold
water which would otherwise
evaporate, and at the same time
keeping the soil in physical con-
dition.
The man who has land rich in
humus or vegetable material, who
has so cultivated it that he can
draw upon even the short supply

TWO BIG CITIES
In War for Trade-Resuit Affects Put
 nam Business.

Indirectly, at least, the influence of a struggle for trade between the cities of Worcester and Webster has some effect on business in this city. Wor- cester. striving for suburban business, gives free trolley transportation to Webster patrons, while Webster mer- chants, struggling to hold their own, are tempting residents of the Grosven- ordales with free rides to their city. The trend of much of the outside trade Of the Grosvenordale people is natural 1y toward Putnam, but temptations sometimes tempt.
