The high prices Of potash and acid

much concern among farmers who de.

If the farmers Of this country had al

Of farm manure and used it on their
land the present situation would be
much less acute. The annual loss Of
fertilizing materials is enormous In
this country through careless handling

badly complicated Princeton, with
the best eleven that has represented
