NOW THEY SEE HIM
AS A BUSINESS MAN
COMMITTEE ROOM FOR FARMERS.

We have remoceled and furnished
room in our bank building for farmers
to use as a committee room.
You will find table, chair and writ
ing material there end we will be glad
to have you make use Of them any
time.-County Bank.
This is the first of series of an
nouncements which one of Wiscon-
sins leading bankers used in making
a bid for the business Of the farmers
living in the surrounding country.
By this invitation he recognized
his neighboring farmers as business
men, and with a good weather eye
out for trade" welcomed them to the
banks committee room to talk shop"
Bankers in all sections OF the Bad
ger state, are coming more and more
10 recognize farmers as business men
and willing to cooperate with them in
developing the communitys biggest
business. Not a few of the bankers
in upper Wisconsin are helping to
build up the dairy industry in their
respective districts by lending money
for the purchase of dairy animals and
by helping to organize COW testing as
sociations One banker, during a hog
cholera outbreak, when it was difficult
for farmers to secure serum as they
needed it, kept on hand a supply OF
serum where it could be obtained on
short notice.
For some time bankers have been
encouraging corn growing by holding
contests, by offering prizes, and by
distributing among the farmers print
ed matter filled with helpful sugges-
lions for the grower Each month the
Wisconsin Bankers association prints
a small bulletin, written by good au-
thorities on subjects of vital impor-
lance to farmers, which is distributed
by county bankers.

GOOD CROPS GROW
ON FERTILE SOILS

All crops remove fertility from the
soil, even clover and alfalfa, which
are heavy feeders on the mineral ele-
ments. Legumes, like clover, can
gather nitrogen from the air by means
of organisms in nodules on their
roots; but this fixed nitrogen is re-
moved in the hay, and no increase,
therefore, is made in the SOIL When
the hay is fed and the manure is we'll
cared for and returned to the soil, the
nitrogen gathered from the air is
brought back, but only about 60 per
cent of it; the rest is lost in feeding
transaction. Feeding large amounts
of clover and alfalfa hay, therefore,
will increase the nitrogen content of
the soil on the farm. The PHOSPHORUS
content can never be increased or
maintained by growing crops, feeding
them. and returning the manure. In
the feeding transaction there Is ap-
proXimately 20 per cent loss of this
element. Little potassium is lost
when best of care is given the manure
and all straw is used for bedding
The soil may be given it's nitrogen
and humus through the growing and
feeding of legumes. Any feeds pur-
chased will also help. The phosphor-
us that is lost must be replaced by
purchase, either through commercial
fertilizer or feeds like bran or cotton
seed meal Approximately twenty
seven pounds of phosphorus is re.
moved by 50-bushel corn, 30-bushel
oat, and two-ton clover crop in a
three year rotation. Ten tons of
manure will return approximately
twenty pounds. The deficiency may
be made up by adding about fifty
pounds of rock phosphate or one hun
dred pounds of acid phosphate, or by
feeding about one-third of ton of
bran or cottonseed meal during the
production of these ten tons of ma
nure.
1t is good business to keep accounts,
and it is good farming to consider the
losses and gains of fertility on the
farm The basis of good crops is fer
tile soil, and a fertile soil is depend
emit largely upon good stock Of hui
mus and good supply of the available
plant-food elements it contains.

institutions working for the advance
ment of agriculture are SO well CORE
lated as in Wisconsin.
Twenty millions of people, all of
whom would be consumers Of our
products if they but knew of their ex-
cellence, live within a nights ride of
Wisconsin,
The secret of Wisconsin's prosper
ity is that her farmers follow di-
versified cropping system. They early
learned the wastefulness of the one
crop system. There has never been
a crop failure in Wisconsin since we
abandoned wheat raising.
Several agricultural journals, so
or more dailies and between 400 and
500 weekly newspapers are aiding in
putting Wisconsin and it's farm prod
ucts prominently before the people.
There is annually produced upon
the farms of Wisconsin enough vege-
tables, other than potatoes, to supply
every family in the state with two
tons.
We raise and pack 40 per cent of
the nations peas-enough to fill a
freight train AZ miles in length.
Every family in Wisconsin has 70
bushels of potatoes each year, or four
times it's need, if it consumes our
crop of tubers,
If all of the cheese made in Wis
consin in a single year was loaded
into refrigerator cars, it would re-
quire 100 trains Of SO cars each to
haul it to market.

do those of any other state. Summer
