only way in which the farmer
can get this information is BY
practical tests, and watching the.
way in which bis soil responds
Ito The use of different plant
foods, and by the appearance Of
his crops during growth.
Another practice OF the mann
facturers and dealers that is cal
cnlated to mislead the farmer, is
that they nearly always talk in
terms of ammonia when referring
to the nitrogen in mixture.
The law does not allow the
word ammonia to appear in the
guaranteed analysis on the bags.
Still practically all Of the mann
facturers and dealers use this
term when giving the farmer ar
analysis.
Insvery few cases is the nitro.
| gen In the form Of ammonia, and
leyen if it was. it's form would
have to be changed before il
could be taken up by the plants.
So the question naturally arises.
Why do the manufacturers and
dealers persist in using the termP

bigger.
One pound of ammonia con-
tains .82 pounds Of nitrogen, and
the farmer should bear 10 mind
the fact that when the dealer
talks Of a mixture spch as S-4.4,
he is not talking in terms Of nj
trogen, but In terms Of ammonia,
and instead Of containing A pei
cent nitrogen the mixture really
contains only $3.50 per cent,
which figured on the basis Of
twenty cents per pound for nitro
gen makes a difference of $2.8s
on a ton.
Only a few days ago, a farmer
came to the department of agri-
culture with figures that he had
obtained from dealer, in which
as he thought, the dealer had
i given him q price on nitrate OF
soda on a guaranteed analysis Of
10 per cent nitrogen, and the
farmer thought that he was get.
/ ting a great bargain
/ Nitrate of soda is a definite
chemical compound and when
chemically pure cannot contain
but l6 As per cent nitrogen, bu,
this nitrogen when calculated t
iammonia amounts to 1919 pei
cent ANN )nia. This dealer had
been talking in terms of anmon
ia, while the farmer thought he
was talking about nitrogen, and
after making the proper correc.
lions and figuring the price he
found that he was not gettinf
such great bargain after all.
| The nitrogen in nitrate of soda
is not in the form of ammonia
| and will not be converted to that
form before it is used up by the
plants, so why should this tern
have been used except for the
purpae Of misleadingthe farmer
j just as it did in this case.
Another point that should be
borne in the mind by the farmer
when selecting his fertilizers i.
that the cost, to the manufacture
er, Of mixing and bagging is just
as great for the lowest grade al
| for the highest, and that the
cost per unit Of plant food 10 the
!. low grade goods is greater thar
in the higher grades.

TAFT MENTIONED
TO HEAD College

Philadelphia, "a, Feb. 2G.-Former
President Taft, professor Of interna-
tional law at Yale university, is being
considered for the presidency of La.
fayette College, Easton, Pa, to sue
ceed the Rev. DR.. Ethelbert D. War
field, according to the Presbyterian
denominatiOnal organ of the Presby-
terian church in this city.
The report that plan is under
way to place Unitarian at the head
Of Presbyterian college caused a
sensation in theological and scholas-
tic circles. A statement issued at
the Offices Of the Presbyterian today
says:
Those responsible for this report
are also authority for the statement
that money probably will be provided
to furnish salary equal to or pos
sibly in excess of that which Mr..
Taft is receiving at Yale. The great
est embarrassment to the carrying
out Of the scheme is tie opposition
of the synod of Pennsylvania, which,
by the charter of the college, holds
a veto power over the election OF all
trustees and members of the faculty.
Eut 1t is probable that the substan-
tial synod of Pennsylvania will con-
sent to placing full-hedged Unitari.
all at the head Of it's only Presbyteri-
an college,"
Presbyterian leaders Of this city,
including influential members of the
Assembly. tie Synod of
Pennsylvania and the Presbytery of
Philadelphia, heard the news with q
storm of2protest If the proposition
to place Unitarian at the head of
a Presbyterian college is considered,
they said, 1t would stir up the biggest
row that has shaken the Presbyteri-
all church for many years.
