HOW TO BUILD UP SOIL,

There is no style of farming which
we can hope to carry on indefinitely
without the use of some kind of fer
tilizer.'
I'm dairy farming. when a large
quantity of concentrates are purchased,
1t seems possible to return all the plant
food removed from the soil through
the manure. But in so doing we over
stock the soil with nitrogen and need
acid phosphate to balance it to get
best results in grain production.

of the grain is sold and the other half
of the grain. with the hay and fodder
Is fed on the farm. it might be posi-
Bile to maintain a fair yield by the pur-
chase of acid phosphate alone. but the
highest returns from the farm demand
the use of a complete fertilizer on the
wheat at least"
"Any type of farming or gardening
where the entire product is sold off
the farm demands liberal use of COM
mercial fertilizer
Dean Alfred Vivian of the College of
Agriculture, Ohio State university,

not advocating any new doctrines. but

PLANTS have CRITICAL
STAGES EARLY IN LIFE
Need Available Food Then to
Mature High Quality Product.

There are certain stages during the
growth of crops which may be called
critical periods. Adverse conditions at
such times seriously injure the plants,
cut down yields and impair the quality
of the product For the small grains
the time from a few days before the
flowers open until the kernels are fully
filed and begin to solidify Is the criti-
cal period. The tiny grain kernels
have just been started at this period
and require careful nourishing with
proper plant food If they are to mature
into first class grain.
The critical period for corn occurs at
the time when the pollen begins to
drop upon the silks. For potatoes the
period between the time when the tiny
tubers first begin to set until they are
fully grown is the critical period. Few
potatoes are we'll started, and inferior
quality results when there is a short.

a proper variety has been chosen and
If good seed is planted after the ground

WITHOUT WHICH THERE
is NOTHING DOING.
Plants Must Feed, Just as Animals
Feed, to Grow.

A rich soil is the first essential to
good farming. Too often we forget
that and try to skimp along. hoping to
make crops grow without any plant
food to do it on. If plants are to grow
they must feed, just as animals feed.
If we could only see the plants mouths
In the roots among the soil particles
we would better understand the crying
need of soil fertility and we would be
more prompt always to have it sup
piled. Now is the time to plan for
making the soil of every field rich
soil. Animal manures carefully con-
served, commercial fertilizers rational
ly and literally applied and green ma
nures plowed under in proper envi-
ronment, each or all, will turn the
trick. But plant food you must get.
AS the lawyers would say, it is the
sine qua non-without which nothing
doing-of good farming.-Glenn G.

PLENTY OF HERRING.
Eastport, Me-, Factories viii Open April
18th With Fine Prospects for Season.

EAsTPoRT, Me-, March %. Quanti-
ties of excellent herring for canning in
to sardines have reached Passamaquoddy
Bay and Bay of Fundy. The sardine
factories do not open until April 18th,
yet there are enough fish gathered up to
warrant a much earlier opening if the
law allowed it.
More than 400 hogsheads of herring
have been brought to Eastport, bringing
from S. to IS hogsnead and 81 extra
for boating them up the harbor.
Veteran Canadian fisherman say there
are great quantities of herring to be
found. The local sardine factories are
to be open on time next month if the
supply continues as plentiful as at pres
ent.
Last seasons pack OF sardines is en-
tlrely cleaned out of this city and the
market is said to be stror for Maine
packed sardines this spring.
The high price of gasoline here, now
selling at rs cents, is causing some
worry among the boatmep, who are en-
gagged in catching herring from April to
December, and it is probable that they
will ask for a small advance in prices
for boating the fish to the factories.

To Lease Maine Islands.

State Land Agent Frank E Mace
called the attention of the Governor and
Council at their meeting March 18th to
some of the small islands along the
coast, concerning which a number of
people had written, most of them with
the idea of buying the islands for sum-
mer resort purposes. He said the Legis-
lature of 1918 had forbidden the State
from selling any more islands, but he
thought there would be no objection to
leasing them. He had in mind two
islands in particular in the vicinity of
Swans Island in Hancock county, about
which there had been many inquiries.
The approval of the Governor and Coun-
Gil was given for the leasing of the two
islands.
