FERTIL|zE THE SOIL.

"Fertilize the soil, not the crop"
is the slogan of the soil fertility ex-
perts of the College of Agriculture,
Ohio State University. They say
it lis a mistake to talk about a
"corn fertilizer" and "wheat fertil-
izer"' Experiments have shown
that an application of phosphorus
on some soils, for instance, will
largely increase the yield of every
crop grown and not only the one
Immediately following application.
All crops will be good, say these
men, if the soil is supplied with the
elements Of plant food which it
lacks. In order to tell what plant
food is lacking they want to see the

CONDITION OF CROPS
Official Report of the Agricultural
Commission of Ohio.

Wheat prospects show no materi-
al difference from that reported one
month ago. The state average is
now estimated at 102 per cent,
or about Is 1-3 bushels per acre
Damage by joint worm'is estimated
at 4 per cent. One year ago, to
date, the prospect was estimated at
"a per cent. The harvest produced
less than 2S,0OO,O0O bushels. The
present acreage is less than that
harvested in 1918. The total pro-
duction should equal, but it is
doubtful, whether it will exceed,
the production of last year.
A crop report, other than that
issued by this Department, esti-
mates Ohio's 1914 wheat production
at 40,000,000 bushels. From this
same source last year the report
was circulated that the wheat crop
had suffered untold damage by raw
ages of the joint worm. The har-
vest proved that this was a false
alarm. The Ohio report is compil-
ed from reports received from more
than 1000 observing, intelligent
farmers of the Buckeye State. Past
years proved it's accuracy. 1t re-
mains for the harvest to verify our
present prediction as to the produc-
tion. Farmers should beware of
any efforts to depress the price of
wheat.
Barley prospect is estimated at
80 per cent compared with normal
yield.
Rye shows prospect of 95 per
cent compared with normal yield.
Oats have declined 9 per cent
during the past month. The pres
ent prospect is estimated at "a per
cent.
The area planted to corn COM
pared with last year is estimated at
90 per cent. Condition of crop is
estimated at 80 per cent compared
with an average. Damage by cut
worm is estimated at 3 per cent.
Generally, over the state it's grow
ing condition is quite satisfactory.
Timothy prospects is estimated
at II per cent. Condition of pas
lures is estimated at 80 per cent.
The low acreage is due to drouth.
