Concealed Fertility.

Even poor land has much fertility
locked up in it. By working only q
sufficient part, which responds best
to work. and aiding the work chemi-
cally with the fertility developer,
lime, YOU concentrate your plant"
Let the rest OF the land go, rent it or
sell ii off. If manure is insufficient,
you must make nitrogen and humas
in the soil with the use of legumes
or clover But. the man who sows
clover seed at $500 TO $1,000 a
busheI, without lining, throws away
his money. Every farmer knows this,
or should know it by now. but too
few do it. II is useful to help out
with phosphat ties and potash, when
tillage and reasonable lining do not
develop enough in the soil for q good
crop. But, buying all the crops
needs of these, is eXtravaSant waste.
The man who makes the excuse that
the season is wet and late, labor
scarce and that there is no time to
spread lime now, but viii leave it for
next year, and for this attemps TO inn
prove fertility with a useless fertillz-
er, gives away to the worst habit.
There will be Just as many reasons
next year and for this attempts to i'm
some but necessary job of lining. the
man who feels he cannot afford to
buy lime or go into debt for it, with
holds the soil inprover that lasts,
that maintains fertility. Its use IS
not a hand 10 mouth remedy like sur
plus chemical fertilizers; gam Die
that succeeds. If the season is good,
and is all lost, if il is unfayorahle-
4 lime debt is a good debt. Every
well informed rural banker knows
that z farm worked regularly TO
maintain its fertility and not 10 get
an exceptional bumper crop sacricic-
ing future productiveness, is the SAT

labor and lime is a good soil invest
ment. for their efforts extend beyond

should do the same. But few of them
feel they can cut down their acreage;
