Three Tons Per Acre From Well-Fer-
tilted New York Hay Field. Grown
by Marrel Hammond, Rushville,
NJ. Y.
Brooks, director of the station, COM
menting on this gave fl as his opinion
"that the nine acres under discussion
must have an actual value to an INTEL
llgent farmer of at least $3.50 per
acre"
Question Much Discussed.
Whether manure or fertilizer, or
both, should be used has been a ques-
ton much discussed. but this same
station has concluded that since prac-
tically every farm rotation includes an
inter-tilled crop such as corn, the ma
nure should be used on this, and com
mercial fertilizer depended upon to
supply the needed plantfood for the
hay lands. The reasons for this are
obvious. Manure contains weed seeds,
and II is easier to get rid of these in
ii TILED field than IN grass land. Then
too, IA part of the value of manure is
in its humus-lnaking material. To get
full value from these humus-forming
substances. manure must be mixed
with the soil, and not left on the sur
face to decay. Finally, the increased
root growth produced by fertilizer
causes the grass TO furnish its own
humus.
1t would nor be expected that all
Of he
analysis, and this is true. Timothy,
red top or orchard grass do not re-
qulre fertilizer as high in phosphorlc
acid as does clover or any other
legume, but they do require more am
monia. The legumes have the power
of obtaining their nitrogen (ammonia)
from the air and do not need so much
I'm the form Of fertilizers. If timothy
is desired, the fertilizer should con-
tain at least 4 per cent to 8 per cent
ammonia. In case clover IS sown with
timothy, fertilizer high in phosphoric
acid and potash brings the clover into
greater prominence.
Greatest Net Returns.
For top dressing in the early spring,
amounts used vary from ZUo TO l,UU
pounds per acre Probably an amount
between these figures is the most prac-
teal for the average farmer 10 apply.
Good results are often obtained by the
use of less. but net returns, up to GER
tain limits. are generally in proportion
TO the amount Of fertilizer used.
1t is interesting to note that the rec
ord-breakiHg yields even in a good hay
season such as 1916 were made where
fertilization was the heaviest, and
where the factors of sweet soil, and
careful attention in general were
looked to.
Considering the cost of hay produc-
ton, II can be readily seen that the
ene-ton crops are money losers, and
the "invest nothing, have nothing"
adage in this particular instance at
least comes true; greater profits come
only through increased yields, and
these come only through liberal plant
feeding.

The Farm and the City.

The farmers San advance only along
with the city, not against it. Their
cummings rise in proportion as those in
the city earn more. That is the Alpha
and Omega of agricultural policy. 1t
is the crowd of laborers' chill Zen that
make milk production pay. is the
city's meat eaters that buy the farm
e"s' hogs. If business in the city IS
sick, the farmers market Is dead. II
that business prospers, they both live.
A great common breath brcathes
through the whole body of the people.
1t Is this unison of interest that libet-
alism represents.-Friedrieh NaumaGn.

THE WAY TO HAY PROFITS

A perplexing problem of the New
England farmer at the present time is
how to keep the hay yield up to the
standard set by last years crop. We're
all seasons as generous with the rain
fan az the one just past, it would seem
that the problem would be solved. But
rainfall alone does not make the crop,
and a super-abundance Of II means
that while the hay crop rs benefited,
other crops such as corn and potatoes
are suffering. More Than water is re-
quired 10 produce grass and inEest-
gation has proven that ihe large and
uniform hay yields those making a
profit for the grower year in and year
out, are on the farms Of men who have
realized that hay UruducUon IS based
on the supply Of available planttood
Work done by tile Massachusetts ex-
pertinent station along the lines Of

standardization of these results leads
to the conclusion that top dressing
with fertilizer In the spring on the old
seedlings pays excellent dividends on
the investment. On one field Of nine
acres, the average production for ten
years was 6,600 pounds, or more than
three tons of hay per acre annually
The cost of growing this yield was $50.
Twelve dollars of this amount was Tor

Seattle, read, gets 100000

There will be a smelter, steel
mills and blast furnaces, and the
plant will turn out pig iron,
structural iron, ship plates, and
so on.
When l first read the news, !
felt twinge of envy, a touch of
jealousy. Why, l wanted to
know, didn't Tacoma get that
smelter? What has Seattle to Of
fer that Tacoma cannot match?
Was Tacoma asleep at the switch?
Then, sir, l had a second and
more worthy thought. Seattle ia
our neighbor. The next best thing
to having the smelter here is hav-
ing It in Seattle. I'm mighty glad
Buenos Aires or Shanghai or TIM
buctoo didn't get it.
If that smelter went to Buenos
Aires, or Shanghai, or Timbuctoo,
it wouldn't do us in Tacoma any
good at all.

isolate ourselves. Reduce, If yon
please, the question to terms of

On Thursday night, DR.. James
Whitcomb Brougher, pastor OF
Temple Baptist church, Los Ange-

congregation in the United States,
was the lecturer.
"Under Your Hat"
The big tent was sweet with the
smell Of grass underfoot and new
lumber in the benches. Manager
Guy M. Bingham talked a little
first, and then came the Australian
Manikins, sort of a glorified
Punch and Judy show, in which
tiny mechanical figures came out
on little stage and did things
that sent the children into fits OF
laughter and interested the older
people In spite of the fact that
they knew that somebody behind
the stage was cleverly manipulate
Ing them by means of wires.
DR.. Brougher's subject was,
What's Under Your Hat"
Don't try to shirk responsible
ity," he said. Humanity has al
ways done that, ever since the
time when Adam blamed his fall
on to Eve, Eve blamed it on the
snake, the snake blamed 1t on the
devil, and the whole blamed bunch
just squirmed out from under the
responsibility and left the devil
to hold the basket.
Lots More to Come.

thing you do. And / believe the
greatest need OF this day is for
every man to mind his own BUSH
ness and make the most possible
out of himself"

Friday at Puyallup.
Manager Bingham lectured In
the morning. The Davenny Festi-
val Quintet will give a concert in
the afternoon, followed by a lee

and In the evening the Festival
quintet will again appear, with
