tt,ral Experiment station at Ames. The
station investigators will not depend
upon tests that run for only a few
hours or for a few days, nor upon
tests made by experts under favorable
conditions; they do not always fur
nish the best information as to the
practical value Of these machines I'M
der ordinary farm conditions. There
fore, the investigation will be carried
on among Iowa farmers who have oper-
ated tractors for q period Of years and
kept careful records of actual costs
and results. The study will cover such
items as first cost of the tractor. the
number of days operated in a year, the
amount of work done. the cost of oper-
alton. the depreciation rate and the
probable life of the machine.
"The tractor question is one Of the
live questions In farm management"
says Director G. F. Curtiss, of the ex-
pertinent station, land yet not a great
deal Of reliable practical informa ton
on it Is low at hand. The big two and
three day tests have their value, of
course. but they do not answer the
practical questions that farmers in
Iowa and elsewhere are asking us about
the value of the tractor under ordin-
airy farm conditions"

Buy Seed Near Home,

Kensett, March 14.-At the opening
day Of the farmers institute here Mon
day, Mr.. Dorchester the grain expert
sent from Ames. gave an interesting
talk on seed corn. 1t seems we of
Worth county are not so fortunate as
some of our neighbors, as we have
but little seed corn of our own. Down
in Cerro Gordo county they have
several thousand bushels of corn that
Is adJudged safe to plant, according to
the tests Of Victor F'elter. seed corn
agent. And one thing that stands out
prominently is that most of the seed
is offered for sale at nominal prices
from 81 to 81 per bushel. Seed
specialists are asking all kinds Of
prices up to $40 and s11; and even
then, such seed Is from a different Sec
ton, with probable differences in soil,
etc., and perhaps not really adapted
to our soils in this section. Experts
claim that our farmers will do better
to procure seed near at home, If pos
sible. Some Of the growers who have
this 1914 corn for sale, which has
passed satisfactory tests, are: liver
Hodnefield, Clear Lake, white mixed ;
Rich Bros, Clear Lake, yellow early;
Sorenson Bros, Thornton. yellow
Richard Car and Joe Roney. Swale-
dale yellow; J. H. Carroll, r. 3. Mason

Big Land Sale.

The Kunz- Benson Ochs Land Com
pany reports the sale of contract of
1918 acres of land located near Cor
with, to Waite w. Ehler, of Cham
paign county, Illinois. This land is
all highly improved. with four sets OF
buildings, most Of the land being tiled
with q thing system six to eight rods
apart, with no tile smaller than five
inch laterals. Considerable thing is
yet to be done by the said company to
complete the thing system as planned.
Mr.. julius Kunz informs US that to
complete such a system it costs ap-
proximately $24 per acre, besides the
cost of outlets. This land was sold at
a consideration Of $193.450, probably
the greatest sale ever made to one
man in the county Mr. Ehler and
sons expect to move onto this land
next year. He is. recognized as one
of the most progressive and success
full !, farmers Of Champaign county,
Illinois, having sold 4s0 acres near
Champaign at $3.50 per acre. and a
farm near Rockwell, City, at 1925 per
acre.

Supplies Of Fertilizer
Obtainab1e From, To,Ons
and Cities Wasted

A survey of the nations resources
in fertilizer materials has drawn at
tention to the large supply Of these to
be found in the accumulation Of garb-
age in cities. This waste material con-
tains nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and
potash, which are recognized as es-
sential to the production OF large
crops. Valuable as these elements are
to the farms Of the country. the garb-
age in which they are found Is a
source Of trouble and expense to the
cities. 1t seems. therefore. that TINS
garbage can be disposed of most ad-
vantageously by returning 1t to the
soil in the form Of fertilizer.
In cities Of Zoe, 900 people or more the
reduction Of garbage by methods
which furnish a residue fit for fertiliz-
err use has proved to be profitable
municipal enterprise. and in smaller
communities 1t might well be self-sus-
tanning. Numerous analyses of raw
garbage show that. on the average,
grease constitutes 3.5 per cent: and or
the fertilizer ingredients potash. 0!3 per
cent: bone phosphate. l per cent: ana
nitrogen In the form Of ammonia. ! per
cent. On this basis the value Of a ton
of raw garbage Is about IS. the grease
being worth SO and the fertilizer in
gradients about 50.
Since the grease is Of more value
than the fertilizer. the reduction pro-
cess is primarily designed to recover
the grease. There are three principal
methods of doing this. The garbage is
cooked and steamed and then pressed
dry and DECREASED in gasolene. Or.
the garbage is dried directly In rotary
hot air kilns and then DECREASED in
gasolene: or 1t Is dried and degreased
in one operation.
AS raw garbage contains 70 per cent
water and 3.5 per cent grease. the yield
Of the tankage residue or fertilizer
should be about % per cent. Thus,
four tons Of raw garbage should be
made to yield one ton OF dried tank
age and $12 worth Of grease. In the
retail market the dried tankage sells
for about $40 a ton and at wholesale
for $3.50 There has been no great
fluctuation In these prices for some
time. In actual practice. however, the
percentage of tankage obtained is not
usually Is per cent.
At present, however. only six cities In
the United States operate their own
reduction plants. and about twenty
send their garbage to privately owned
plants. These produce in the course OF
a year 100000 tons Of tankage. or fer
tilizer, made from 1.O45.o00 tons OF raw
garbage. II all of the 1919 cities In the
United States which have a population
Of 10000 or over should adopt this
method of garbage disposal. the total
yield should be from 637. 800 tons to
9s7.500 tons Of fertilizer per year. This
would be worth from s47S0,00O to ST.
900, 900. Additional fertilizer material
could also be obtained in the cities
from dead animals. street sweepings,
and stable manure.
This subject. specialists in the United
States department Of agriculture be-
1ieve. merits careful consideration. be-
cause it will be Of advantage both to
the American farmer and to the cities
from which he obtains his fertilizer.
