WHY SOILS BECOME ACID.

Due to Lime Being Washed Out of the
Land In Humid Sections.
Now that we have discovered. says
wallaces Farmer. that clover and al
falfa will not grow on acid soils and
that many failures to grow these leg
umes are due to acidity the question
comes up. Why do soils become acidf
Perhaps the best way Of answering
that question is by asking others: Why
IL the water In your well hard? why
does your teakettle become incrusted
with lime?
Soil becomes acid simply because the
lime is being washed out OF the land
In the humid section. There is nat
urally limit to the amount of lime In
the soil. and In process Of time the
amount decreases and the soil becomes
acid because lacking in lime. Some

CASH OR SHARE RENT.
The Advantages and Disadvantages OF
Two Different Systems.

prepared by u. II. Hibbard of Wisconsin
agricultural experiment station.J
"Shall | rent farm on shares or
shall pay cash?"
This Is the question which many
young men who are just striking out
for themselves are asking.
The answer is determined quite large
ly by circumstances and by local con-
ditions but there are few general
truths which apply in nearly all cases.
The advantages and disadvantages OF
the two systems are thus summarized:
Cash rent gives TO the tenant greater
independence. for during the extent OF
his lease be Is more nearly his own
master. the business OF running the
farm largely concerning no one but
himself Rising grain prices during
recent years have also made the sy>
tenn more profitable TO the tenant than
share renting. Another advantage IN
paying cash for the use of Il piece o.
land is the inducement offered for the
tenant to put forth every effort to get
as much out of the soil rs possible and
10 strive for maximum production
Any Increase in output means greater
profit for the tenant and need not be
shared with the owner. rs Is The ease
under the share system OF renting.
share renting. on the other hand
gives the tenant the benefit Of having
partner who in many cases has had
considerable business experience. This
quite frequently is valuable asset. en
pecially for the young farmer. The
owner who rents on shares pays more
attention TO his farm and will, as u
rule. have better and furnish better
buildings than the man who rents his
farm for cash From the standpoint
Of the renter perhaps The greatest ad
vantages in share rcnting is that for
tim il lessons the element OF risk In
bad years he pays a small rent or none
at all. In good years he may pay a
relatively high rent
About IA per cent of Wisconsin farms
are rented as compared with Al per
cent in Illinois. 3S Per cent in Iowa
and 81 per cent in Minnesota This
lower percentage of tendency in Wis
consin is due partly to the cheap land
i'm the north and TO the fact that the
dairy business does not tend itself well
to most systems of renting There Is
a growing tendency, however. for ten
ant and owner to buy dairy herd TO
gether This makes the running OF
tho farm somewhat of a DartDerShip
affair and seems 10 work well

however. even these soils will become
acid simply through the washing OF
the lime out of the soil into the wells

Support is given TO this statement by
the well known fact that semiarid soils
are alkaline. the very reverse OF acid
This alkalinity may not come from an

After raising seed worth $50 TO SO

saving of seed and labor
Miss Griffith finds great pleasure as
we'll as profit in her work and is an
ardent advocate of the back TO the
farm movement, especially for women
During the season OF 1912 a farm in
Mitchell county. Ia. produced 10000
bushels of onions from twenty-seven
acres. Single acres produced as high
as 1000 bushels. but raid of the
onion maggot upon one side OF the
field cut down the average. The soil
used was heavily enriched. but il had
been cropped in onions for years.
About thirty years ago the owners
of this farm went TO Iowa and con
tracted for forty acres of land near
town. going into debt to the extent OF
$4,000. The neighborS called them
crazy. Since that time they have been
offered $1,000 an acre for this same
forty. but have refused il. For ten
years they have secured a gross re-
turn from this land of $4,000. or an
income of over Is per cent upon val
uation of $1,000 per acre.
One OF the secrets of their success
is to have the land very rich. Origi-
J nally 1t was black loan. with about
2 per cent of sand; six feet down lime
, stone. The land is MANFRED with well
rotted barnyard refuse every year. II
I Is plowed about eight inches deep. and
subsoiler is used in the bottom of
| the furrow TO loosen up three or foul
inches deeper. Then the harrow Is put
| on and kept going until the surface is
perfectly level and the soil is thorough
ly fine. In fact. IT is as mellow as the
proverbial ash heap.
i Onion seed Is planted i'm rows. which
are placed fourteen inches apart The
seeds are dropped about six inches
apart In the row. 1t requires one and
one-half pounds TO plant an acre. This
method results in no waste of seed. and
the back breaking work of thinning Is
not needed.
Ii is rare that any hand wedding Is
found necessary. The use OF the wheel
hoe and hand cultivator Is persistent
particularly i'm the early part OF the
season. Careful figuring shows that
the 1912 crop was produced at n cos
of cents per bushel. After the firs
seed was secured the farm produced
its own seed. The largest bulbs are
always selected and those which keeT
best for growing the seed. BY doinl
this n strain has been developed which
is not only large. but keeps well int
the following summer. with practically
no loss from sprouting. a part OF the
business now is to grow onion seed FOL

INGREDIENTS OF FERTILIZERS
Three Elements That Afford an In
creased Crop Yield.

Present agricultural practice pre-
scribes the use of three chemical ele-
ments as a "soil amendment" "a "stin
ulant for plant growth" or plant
food" as it Is variously put. These
three elements when applied TO the
soil in which crop is growing have
been found by practice 10 afford mn
increased crop yield. They are phos-
phorus. potassium and nitrogen. spu-
ken of by the trade terms of phos-
phoric acid. potash and "ammoniates.
The nations supply OF these three
common ingredients OF fertilizer may
be summarized rs follows: OF phOs
phoric acid there is an abundant sup
ply in the large deposits of phosphate
rock in Florida and Tennessee and
the enormous deposits Of Idaho. Mon
tana and Wyoming.
OF potash. now obtained exclusively
from the German mines. there is little
known in this country outside OF the
desiccated residues I'm SearleS lake. Cal
ifornia. and the giant Helps OF the Pa
cific lttOral. In the latter there is much
more than enough to supply the pres
ent demands of the fertilizer trade OF
the United States. the present annual
consumption of potash being about
100000 tons OF varied composition.
At present the Helps are not supplying
any OF this. since it has not been de
termined by actual experimentation on
commercial scale that they can be
used economically as a source of pot
ash
OF "ammoniates' there is a large
source in the ammonia produced rs Il
byproduct in the diStillation of coal
for the production OF gas or coke or
both. This source is but partially de
veloped. as by the methods most com
monty practiced in this country this
possible byproduct is not recovered.
The amount OF ammonia now going To
waste is almost large enough TO supply
all of the "ammoniates" now demand
ed by the fertilizer trade The abat-
toirs supply large amount of tankaee
and dried blood of high fertilizer value.
but of these possible byproducts there
is still an enormous loss through the
lack of organization and cooperation
in the small scale slaughter OF animals
for food
