FERTILIZERS AND GREEN Ma
NURE CROPS
Cheap Insurance Against Poor Crops.

Tennessee Experiment Station.
As an all around means of soil i'm
provement no other material equals
manure Frequently, however. people
want to know what to use to supple
ment insufficient supply of manure. If
nothing be known about the special
needs of the soil use high grade COM
plete fertilizer, such as truck growers
make. One thousand or 1900 pounds
per acre is not too much, and this
amount may be applied broadcast and
mixed throughout the soil. However,
a part may be saved for the row or IN
the hill for crops like potatoes, toma-
toes, etc.
But will even 1,5OO pounds per acre
of high grade complete fertilizer build
up the fertility of soil? The answer is
quite simple. Fifteen hundred pounds
of fertilizer contain several times the
phosphoric acid removed by heavy
crop of vegetables, and the unused por-
ton will remain in soil for the benefit
of succeeding crops. The supply OF
potash need not give concern. but the
weakness of the fertilizer is the low
content of the high priced element, nj
trOgen.
Use Care In Selection.
A comparison of the proportions OF
plant food elements present in fer
tilizers with those found in crops will
make this point clear. Take corn,
for example. In mature plants for
every ten pounds Of phosphoric acid
are found twenty three pounds of pot
ash and thirty-two pounds of nitrogen.
but in a common brand of truckers
fertilizer for every ten pounds of phos-
phoric acid are four pounds of potash
and only three and one-third pounds OF
nitrogen. Thus 1900 pounds of such
fertilizer does not contain as much nj
trogen as is required in the production
of forty bushel corn crop and less
than third the amount removed by
a heavy crop of cabbage. In fact, all
of the nitrogen demanded by common
farm and garden crops cannot be prof
.itably supplied by commercial fertili-
[zers. To build up soil in nitrogen re-
course must be had to the growing for
.manurial purposes of ieguminous
splants. such as peas. beans, yetches,
Especially clovers, all of which gather
nitrogen from air. A complete fertiii-
ger for the legumes need contain only
phosphoric acid and potash. but the
of NV ,sin NJ
filming will be of benefit to them alt;

sown freely in midsummer wherever
possible. Finally. as q result of tn

be true, however, that those persons do

But some one asks, what is to be gain
ed by going to church one Sunday? Well,
there was a deal of solicitude over one
sheep that had wandered away; and there
was joy in Heaven over one sinner; it
was one flag, one land, one heart, one
hand, that made one nation; there is one
God, and one mediator between God and
men, and to know the lone thing need

who go to church go for religious pur-
poses.

us go to church on March 18th and go

provisions Of the income tax law. the
Treasury Department states IN sub
stance the following:
Real estate corporations. joint stock

that one-half OF such interest should
