When ministers Of some Of the great
est communions in the land indorse
Tanlac their words carry conviction.
They say what they know to be the
truth. They have put Tanlac to the
test Of personal service and have not
found it wanting.

II, for instance, there Is only enough
nitrogen. In the soil to produce .2G
bushels OF corn or IT'S pounds Of cot.
ton per acre, while there is enough
plant fo>d elements Of other kinds to
produce enormously more, how then
can greater yields be obtained than the
nitrogen will permit?
The problem of plant feeding is,
therefore, no simple one. 1t has en-.
gagged long and most careful investi.

deep into the mysteries of how plants
iced and what they feed upon. On the
OASIS OF the most exact knowledge thus
obtained, modern fertilizers have been
manufactured. Soil deficiencies, or
limiting factors" modern fertilizers
are designed to remove. and to call
into fullest action the natural re.
sources of the soil.
since there Is limiting factor in
all soils, 1t is worth while for each
farmer to undertake to remove that
limitation. Intelligent use of fertiliz.
ers will accomplish it, if food elemert ts
be this limiting factor. In no other
way can 1t be done than by the help
OF man. He must bring to the plant
the food 1t needs and cannot find when
this is the factor limiting production.
The plant, OF course, must be given
the best OF surroundings. 1t must not
only have plenty of plant food, but
the soil must be properly drained Of
excess water. 1t must be we'll supplied
with lime. and organic matter; it's
moisture must be conserved, and
weeds killed through proper cultural
methods. These things man can pro-
vide. Therefore. II man is not the
limiting factor" and he looks after
the plant food requirements. the great.
