Good Christmas Motto.

Peace on earth, and good will to men," Is the Christmas motto, and the Christmas spirit should ring in our hearts and find a kindly expression in acts and words. What a joyful thing for the world it would be if the Christmas spirit of peace and good will could abide with us all every day of the year. And what beautiful place this world would be to live in.

Prof. J. B. Rather, chemist to the department of agriculture of the Uni versity of Arkansas, has completed a number of valuable experiments with reference to the relation of fruit grow ing to soil fertility. Professor Rath- CTS findings, in part, are as follows:
 "The problems of soil fertility, when considered in the light of specific crop, are largely resolved into two questions, first how much of the prin- cipa1 plant food elements are taken from the soil by the crop, and second how much of the plant food taken up is permanently removed from the soil, soil fertility resulting from the growth of the crop? An answer to the first question should aid in the selection of a specific fertilizer for the crop, while an answer to the second question should form basis on which to plan a permanent system for soil nlAinte- nance.
 Both peach and apple trees, as soon as they are large enough to occupy a considerable portion of the land, de- mand large quantities of plant food each year. AS the trees grow to ma turity the soil is called upon to fur nish an increased amount of plant food each year until maximum is reached The maximum annual con- sumption of the mature trees becomes the annual demand of the tree as long as it is vigorous and bearing fruit. The plant food taken up by the ma ture tree is largely used for the pro- duction of foliage and fruit only a re- latively small quantity being used for the production of new growth. A 500- bushel crop of apples contains about one-third as much nitrogen and phos- phoric acid as a 50bushel crop of corn. The apple crop contains several times as much potash as the corn crop. However, most orchard soils contain several times as much potash as ni- trogen and phosphorus. The exces- sive demand for potash by both apple and peach trees explains why potash fertilizers frequently prove valuable on archard soils naturally low in this element.
 Bulletin No. 123, which explains these experiments in detail, will be sent to anyone who may address the College of Agriculture at Fayetteville.
