MUCH PLANT FOOD REMOVED
Interesting Table Published by Expers

sity on Soil Elements.

One hundred bushels of corn remove
292 pounds of plantfood from the
ground, according to table. published
by the experiment station at Purdue
university. OF this amount. 1853
pounds is contained in the care and
124 pounds in the three tons of stover
which is the average amount produced
with 100 bushels of ear corn. "
Besides this draft on the soil for the
production OF a corn crop, a large
amount of organic matter in the soil
is caused 10 decay or burn out with
the frequent cultivation given and by
teaching. Soils vary so much in their
losaes at any one time and under sim
liar conditions that tRv ether losses
can hardly be calculated with exact
ness. Since corn or any other crop
,akes certain elements of plantfood
from the soil and leaves others re-
main, the problem of feeding the soi'
consists in furnishing those elements
of piantfood which are needed.

DRESSING WOUNDS OF TREES
Experiments Conducted by New York
Station Show That Dressings Used
Are often Injurious.

Experiments were started by the
New York Station in 1911 and con-
Quoted for four years to determine
whether any coverings are necessary
for wounds Of trees as well as the
effect on the trees-of various sub
stances used in treating wounds. The
trees used. in the experiments were
apples and peaches9 and the sub
stances used as coverings were white

tar, shellac' and :avenarius carbolin-
cum. Il. The : dressings were applied
when the9 pruning was done at diff
ferent seasons of the. year and upon
wounds of various ages.
From the results of this experiment
as a whole it is concluded that the
dressings commonly applied to prun-
ing wounds >retard rather than 'ac-
celerate the healing of the wounds
The effects are the same whether the
dressings :. are. applied when :. the

Steady Increase in Prices

@The high price of horses has led
many farmers to raising colts, as a

that fits into average farm conditions

spring little farm work is performed
and the horses might as well raise a

Or most farms it is best to have

This is due to the owner in almost
