needs is not found in the soil Light
and heat are as important, and these
must exist naturally, in balanced pro-
portion, as human endeavor can do
little to overcome deficiencies in this

Source of Soils.
Our great mountain ranges and semi
arid plains are the source from which
our soil chemicals are extracted. They
are, in fact, our soils. when placed in
combination. Therefore, being ada
cent to these great sources, our soils
are truly virgin soils. They are eX-
tTemely rich in plant food when in us
able form, and are being constantly re-
newed by the soluble and insoluble
parts contained in our flood waters
No wonder our river silt is rich, II
Is from this that all soils at the lower
elevations are made We have the soil
laboratory right at home They why
fertilize? Because there is not always
the proper. balance Sometimes we get
soils from one watershed and at other
times from another. and their character
is determined by the place where the
deposit is made and by the place-fFom
which it came
Chemistry of Soils.
Most. and 1 might say all, of our soils
contain large amount of potash. Fruit
analysis shows that the use of this
substance by vines and fruit. trees is
very large. II shows. in fact. that of
the total ash from fresh fruit of diff
ferent kinds Onehalf in nearly all cases
is potash, the other ash being lime,
phOsphorfc acid, and nitrogen.
The following table shows the guam
titles of soil ingredient withdrawn by
various fruits. 1t is compiled from an
alysis by G. E. Colby, university Of
fornia Fruits and How to Grow Them"
by Prof. WiCkSOn.

Go to the girls mother, insist on
knowing her objections, and give her
every assurance that your intentions
are honorable If your conduct does
not meet her approval, change it
Do not ask the girl to meet you on
street corners; that would be gratify-
ing your desire to be with her at the
expense Of her reputation for good

and have been keeping company with a
young man three years my senior. Here
of late my mother is saying things to
discourage US Now that this occurred,
ne told me he would not call at my
house, but would not give me -up- He is
willing to meet me at the corner, which
! do not like.
BrOkenhearted Mary.
Under no circumstances must you
meet him at the corner. Such meetings
are bound to be degenerating.
Your mother undoubtedly has good
reasons for disapprOvaI. and I insist
that you give heed to them.

the latter method is the better be-
cause alfalfa that is very thick or
that has had much water will often
not put out much bloom until it is
past the stage for making the best
quality of hay.
About the only advantage in late
cutting is that one gets a greater
total yield of hay, and the disadvan-
tages much more than offset this.
Some of the advantages in early cut
ting that is, in cutting as soon as
the second growth appears or when
the alfalfa is not over one-tenth in
bloom are these: First, the early
cut hay has an actually higher feed
ing value, aside from the smaller pro-
portion of waste due to coarse, woody
stems; second, the leaves are net
lost to as great an extent as by late
cutting, which, when we remember
that forty pounds of leaves contain
nearly the same amount of nutrimsn mt
as one hundred pounds of stems,
is seen to be an important consider
alton; third, the following crop
starts more quickly and makes a
better growth; and fourth noxious
weeds are, to a greater extent, pre-
vented from seeding.
Of course 1t is not always possible,
on account of weather, other work
that has to be done, ETC., to cut
just at the proper time. Because-
of this, where one has a considerable
acreage, it may be necessary to be-
gin cutting slightly before the crop
is at the proper stage, as otherwise
the bulk of the crop may be too far
advanced before the mower reaches
it,, and an inferior grade of hay will
be the result.

whether Intentionally or otherwise,
are making a mistake.
More than a month ago l observed
the first alfalfa cut this season, and
at the present time, June %, there
is still considerable of the first crop
uncut. Certainly some fields made
an earlier start and consequently
reached the hay-makng stage sooner
than others, but that does not &C
count wholly for the difference in
time of cutting. Some like to cut
when the first bloom appears, 9TH
ers express the opinion that some
seed should be formed, while still
others do not pay much attention to
the bloom, but look rather for the be-
ginning of the second growth from
the crowns. In some cases, at least, |

FARM BUREAU TALKS.

The Canyon County Farm Bureau

time since that date the field agent
has not been able to meet more than

the county or even to visit all the
communities, but he is anxious to
cover the entire county just as soon
and as often as seems practical and
to become acquainted with every

Although alfalfa is probably grown
more generally than any other crop
in Canyon County, l find great va

ers in regard to the time at which
it should be cut for hay Presuma-

a better quality than when cut at
any other stage. If this is true, then
