We sometimes wonder of what use
We are, and why we are put on earth.
One day is added to another and we
seem to be no further advanced on the
pathway of our lives. AS Mark Twain
would have put 1t, we do not appear
to be gaining on the scenery. Yet
there is room In the world, and need
n the world. for each and every one
Of us, and, therefore, We must keep on
going to the end. Emerson has a
poem in which the squirrel talks to
The mountain and says: IF cannot
carry forests on my back neither can

thing nobody else can do, namely.

Why Fertilizers are Used.

The good farmer will always use
commercial fertilizers, and as his
land gets better he is likely to use
them more rather than less, and to
find them increasingly profitable.
Let us see if We can't put the
matter in the simplest form and see
why this is true: A fertile soil, as
one of our correspondents says, is
one which will produce good crops.
Crops grow in the soil and are made
RID of different substances, some OF
which they get from the air and
some from the soil. These substances
we term plant foods. The size OF
the crop is limited by the amount of
these substances which it is enabled
10 get-or rather, by the amount of
the least plentiful of them. This
limiting food is nearly always pnos-
uhorus (phosphoric acid, potassium
(potashl or nitrogen. All these are
derived from the soil. The mere
amount of any of these substances
in the soil, however, does not of
itself determine the growth the
crop can make. They must all be
taken up by the very small root
hairs of the plants after they have
basn dissolved in the saltwater. If
.nv of them be in such combinations
