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 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 well started. and inferior
quality results when there is short
age OF plant food to nourish them If
proper variety has been chosen and
II good seed is planted after the ground
has been we'll prepared the duality and
quantity Of the crop will depend upon
the supply Of plant food and the wealth
er conditions which prevail.

science since 1887.
That year DR.. Fahlberg was employ

coal tar derivatives at the Johns Hop
kins university. Sitting one evening
at tea, he was surprised to find how
sweet his bread and butter tasted. He
traced the sweetness to his fingers,
then to his coat sleeves and finally to
one Of the bowls Of derivatives In his
laboratory. Experiments upon himself
and animals proved alike the harmless
ness Of the compound and its extreme
sweetness. And saccharin was dis

Orioin of Felt.

SFt8tu OI Fohs
Many centuries ago q door monk
was compelled to travel upon q long
and arduous journey. His road was
rocky, his sandals were worn, and he
suffered agonies as he trudged grimly
upon his holy errand. One day as he
sat by the wayside resting a sheep
came up to him, bleating in the most
friendly. fashion. The good monk pet
ted the sheep and was grateful for its
dumb friendliness, when suddenly he
had an inspiration. He took out his
sheath knife, sheared two handfuls Of
wool from the sheep and placed one
In the heel Of either sandal That
afternoon as he trudged along his feet
seemed light, his step springy. The
wool took the jar from his spine, the
impact Of the stony road from bis
aching, swollen feet.
The next morning as he started out
he thought to rearrange the wool pad
ding and discovered that the friction
and the movement Of his feet In the
sandals had reduced the wool to a sort
Of a cloth. Thus was discovered felt.
which to this day is one Of the most
effective substances ever discovered
for padding purposes.
