ELOQUENT and Humorous.

There isn't single word in Dr.. FAY
lor's lecture that is commonplace, un-
interesting or difficult to understand.
He is eloquent, humorous, and has an
amazing grasp of those vital agricul-
tural subjects which are now Of su l.
Importance to the farmers of this
country.
We all want to know more about
how to produce larger crops from the
same acreage without additional ex-
pense or without robbing the soil of
it's fertility The agricultural lands
are really a heritage, which should be
passca down to succeeding generations
as fertile and productive as when we
received them. Nothing but scientific
agriculture will guarantee THIS de-
sidable result.
Do not fail to hear DR.. Taylor's lee
ture. You may not have such an OPP
portunity again in this locality for
years to come The lecture is free,
and no farmer who has his own ~ r
ests or the interests of the community
at heart should fail to be there.

Plant Food Elements.

In his lectures, DR.. Taylor makes
it plain what plant food elements are
necessary in the soil for maximum
production, how missing elements can
be supplied and how they are maze
available for the use of growing plants
He describes soil texture; the IN
fiuence that cultivation has upon plant
growth; how certain elements OF plali
food can be taken out of the air ana
fixed in the ground by the aid OF Ger
tain leguminous plants; how humus
can be restored to WORKOUT soils, ana
why this particular element is OF I'M
usual Importance to the farmers.
His instructions concerning the 10
per application of barnyard manure
and it's effect upon the plant is of il
self liberal education in plant pro
duction.

The Bible which Mr. Chamber
