VALUE Of
BARNARD
MANURE:

The value of barnyard manure va
cries according to the way tits kept and
treated, according to the Ohio Expert
ment Station. Attention to the con-
servation of the manure that is wash
ed from Ohio's barnyards each year
would save millions of dollars worth
Of fertilizing elements. In one test,
just announced in Bulletin 286, man
ure that was untreated was worth
$3.50 and when treated with acid phos-
plate at the rae of forty pounds to
the ton, and kept properly, was worth
$4.89. The Experiment Station ex-
plains that manure is not well-bal-
anced fertilizer and that the addi-
ton of acid phosphate should be made
to obtain the best results from ma
nure.

DEFINITION
Of ALFALFA

"A remarkable plant that does
yield well-nigh unbelievable quantities
OF incompatible forage, some brains
are requisite to success in it's growth.
10 say that amy fool can grow alfal-
ia is misleading; but with decent
treatment, under ordinarily favorable
conditions, does bring good fortune
to thousands Of those growers who
know it best, and in their dealings
with 1t use fair intelligence 1t is
a soil builder, but it must have build
ing materials and be met half way. 1t
cannot give much for nothing. If it
feeds the soil it must be fed. There is
yet no record of an alfalfa field too
heavily MANFRED. With this crop, as
with most other ventures, success
chiefly depends upon the man. There
are those who could not anywhere
raise alfalfa, while there are those
who do no good with anything. AL
tho plant of very high grade it may
Ike others, IN the hands of low-grade
farmers prosper poorly indeed"-

annual meeting of the Ohio Alfalfa
Growers Association, Springfield, O.

high elevation, where Mr.. Conway al
ready has large stone basement
barn 37N80 feet erected and the foun-
dation for a new house we'll under
way. This barn has a 9 foot base
ment and will have all modern con-
veniences for the care and handling
of stock. Mr.. Conway already has a
good start on a herd of full blooded
Guerr sey cattle. The old buildings
are being RACED to the ground and the
good material will be used in the cree
ton o. , new house and barn. Mr..
Conway has the making of one of the
finest farms in Wood county when he
gets through with his contemplated
changes.
We arrived home safely at 8 o'clock
Wi ho,,t Z nishap. Travelled about 90
miles through beautiful country popu-
lated by progressive farmers who are
harvesting excellent crops at this time
of the year. The large modern barns
with stone easements ranging in size
frC-l SO to 40 by so to 10 feet are
the best evidence of prosperity. These
barns indicate good crops. The state
road from Grand Rapids to Marsh
field of So miles is in excellent con-
dition with few exceptions near
Seneca Corners. In fact all roads we
travelled on Tuesday were excellent
all things considered. We never had
travelled by team or auto before, west
of Pittsville, and therefore we were
more than delighted to find the pros
perity evidenced by good roads

barns and houses, well kept out-build-
ings and fences, that were brought ia

battle-ground of the nationl Such it
is today. For the first time in the
history the issues of a great cam
paign are being fought out by the
leaders in this city of The middle west.
Roosevelt started the tide of battle
Detroitward when he came here to
preach preparedness.
President Wilson selected the City
of the Straights for his most import
ant address of the pre-campaign per
iod.
Charles Evans Hughes launched his
campaign for the Presidency here on
August 7.
Ask Michigan politicians why and
the answer almost invariably is
Ford"
Roosevelt came to fight the anti
militaristic movement that crystalliz-
ed following Henry Ford's unexpected
appearance in the results Of the presi-
Dental primaries.
Wilson picked Detroit as the place
for his address on Mexican relations.
Politicians believe he picked Detroit
because he recognized it as a repre-
sentative industrial center.
Then came Hughes, selecting De
troit as the scene of his first offensive
move in the actual campaign. The
motive of the republican nominee in
picking the automobile city was prac-
tically politics. Michigan was the
first state in the union to declare
definitely for the ex-justict.
A battle royal for Michigan's i'm
mense Progressive vote also is indi-
Gated by the actions of the two nomi-
nees. Normally Michigan is republi-
can by $4,000, but four years ago the
Progressives received the popular YER
dict, polling more than $4,000 votes,
or nearly 80 per cent of the total.
The fight for control of this Pro.
gressive element promises to develop
into one of the feature rounds of the
campaign.

WHEAT GROWING
IN MIDDLE west

GA few years ago, the yield of wheat
in England and Germany was really
lower than that found in the United
States. Through fertilization and a
better crop system, these countries
have been able to gradually increase
the average yield of the wheat crop
until at this time it ranges about SO
bushels per acre." said Professor G.
|. Christie Of Purdue University, at
the Annual Convention of the National
Fertilizer Association, recently "On
the farm Of Purdue University, where
conditions are similar to those of q
large area of wheat lands, through 4
good rotation of crops and proper
fertilization, the average yield Of
wheat for the past thirty years has
reached tWenty-eight bushels per a.
ere. These, with many other examples
clearly demonstrate that it is posi-
bic to materially increase the yield
of wheat throughout the country"
