The last issue of the Albany Enter
prise, in its account of the meeting
of representatives of Sank Centre and

range schedules for Sank Centre band
and base ball team, has this to say of
the talk given on that occasion by
John n. McGibbon, mayor of Sank
Centre:
"Mayor McGibbon, Of Sank
Centre. made an eloquent talk, boost
ing the interests of western Stearns
county in general and the Stearns

for the county seat removal in partic-

The soil in pot No. " was fertil-
lied with what would be equivalent
to one-half ton of lime to the acre.
The soil in pot No. V was fertilized

The soil in pot No. VI was left just
as it was taken from the farm.
Each of the pots were seeded to

knowing the conditions above
stated, that for the growth of alfalfa
upon this soil. innoculation is neces-
sary. The growth is easily two or
three times greater than in the other
pots and shows how valuable three or
four hundred pounds of soil from an
alfalfa field. sOWn per acre, would be-.
While pot No. " does not show as
rank growth as pot No. |, neverthe-
less it makes a good showing and IN
dictates that the soil needs lime.
The growth in the other pots is
nearly alike and from this we deduct
that the soil is fairly well fortified
in the first place and that the fertil-
izers used do not materially aid the
crop.
But the question is presented, what
would have happened had pot No. ",
fortified with lime. been also innoc-
lated wit h soil from the alfalfa field?
1t seems to be fair presumption that
it would il We been the best pot of
the six. 1t is unnecessary to further
analyZe this experiment.
Any one will readily see that these
experiments can be extended without
limit so as to cover every condition of
soil that may exist. They need not
be confined to experiments with al
falfa: but may be applied to every
other crop. Take fer Instance a low
swampy piece of land. The soil will
probably lack in potash. Without
this element full crop cannot be ex.
pected. Fertilized with horse manure
and the element will be supplied and
a full crop obtained.
With the means at hand, to sc
thoroughly and effectively test his
soil, cannot see how any farmer car
afford to neglect the pot system of ex
perimenting. The same experiments
can be carried on in the fields but the
pot system is carried on under the
daily inspection of those engaged in
it and will surely leave a deeper i'm
preston and more lasting lesson.
The agricultural department of the
high school will be glad to assist ir
all experiments of this kind and nc
one should hesitate to ask it's assis
lance.

SOME SOIL ANALYSIS
NJ. c. Kelsey Writes of the Work
the Local High School is Doing
in This Line

Editor Herald: Mayor John n. Nc
Gibbon sees in South Central MINES
ota, (Sauk Centre), agricultural pos
sibilities that are going to make it the
garden spot of the world and any one
talking with him for short time will
come to the same conclusion.
We have the soil, we have the CHM
ate, we have the people and all that
is necessary is to put them together
at the right time and in proper pro-
portions and the thing is done. May
or McaiDbon Can prove to you, he has
proven to you that this is an alfalfa
country.
Go look at his fields of alfalfa and
the fields of other up-to-date farmers
in this vicinity and his case is ready
for the jury. Then in natural
sequence follows that alfalfa land is
worth s125.O0 per acre: but, that has
nothing to do with the question that
l wish to present. Go with Mayor
McGibbon down to the agricultural
department of the high school and
let him show you an experiment that
is being made there. 1t is a simple
little experiment. 1t is one that any
person can perform, and in that lies
it's value. And in passing, let me call
attention to the work that is being
done by the agricultural department
of the Sank Centre high school. This
one experiment if taken up by the
farmers and used as it can be used is
worth to this community all that the
whole agricultural department of the
high school will cost in taxes for
years.
This experiment enables anyone to
test his soil and to know. to a certain
ty. just what that soil lacks in fertil-
ity or physical condition. 1t makes
of the farmer scientist and places
him in the ranks of the learned pro-
LESSONS.
The experiment in question is being
conducted by Prof K. A. Norsen and
consists in placing a certain amount
of soil, taken from farm near this
city, of uniform quantity and quail
ity, in six earthen pots.
The soil in pot No. l was fertilized
with what would be equivalent to
POO lbs. each of phosphorus, potassium
and sodium nitrate to the acre, the
fertilizing qualities of which are
equivalent to well rotted barnyard
manure and the manure might have
been used in the experiment, had it
been as convenient. In addition tc
the fertilizers pot No. 1 was innocu
lated with little soil taken from a
field where alfalfa was growing.
The soil in pot No. II was fertilizeo
| the same as pot No. l but the sol
was not innoculated with soil from
the alfalfa field.
