Three Tons Per Acre From WeII-Fer-
tilted New York Hay Field. Grown
by Marcel Hammond, RushviIle,
NJ Y.
Brooks, director of the station, com
menting On'sthis gave it as his opinion
that the nine acres under discussion
must have an actual value to an intel
Hgent 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, hut this same
station has concluded that since prac-
tically every farm rotation includes an
inter-tilIed 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 it is easier to get rid of these in
titled field than in grass land. Then
too, a part of the value of manure is
in its humus-making material. To get
full value from these transforming
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 not be expected that all
crops demand fertilizers of the same
analysis, and this is true. Timothy,
red top or orchard grass do not re-
'quire a fertilizer as high in phosphoric
acid as does clover or any other
7egume, 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
dn the form of fertilizers. If timothy
is desired, the fertilizer should con-
tain at least per cent to 5 per cent
ammonia. In case clover is sown with
timothy, a 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 200 to 1000
pounds per acre. Probably an amount I,
between these figures is the most prac-
tical for the average farmer to 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
yields, even in a good hay
season such as 1916, were made where |
fertilization was the heaviest, and |
where the factors of a sweet soil, and |
careful attention in general were |
looked to.
Considering the cost of hay produc- |
ton, it can be readily seen that the |
one-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 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. Were
all seasons as generous with the rain
fall as 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 it means
that while the hay crop is benefited,
other crops such as corn and potatoes
are suffering. More than water is re-
quired to produce grass, and investi-
cation has proven that the 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 production is based
on the supply of available plantfood.
Work done by the Massachusetts ex-
pertinent station along the lines of
lettering the New England hay crop,
is unusually interesting. The results
obtained show a profit for this branch
of farming which surpasses average
conditions in the ratio of almost three
to one.
Increasing Production.
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 500. |
Twelve dollars of this amount was for |
manure and fertilizer William p.

FILIPINO READY TO GIVE UNCLE SAM
 BIG ARMY UNIT

Manuel B. Quezon, who is scheduled to arrive in Washington with a for- nal offer of 25,OO0 soldiers to the gover for service in France or elsewhere, is now president of the Senate of the Philippines Insular gov ernment, and his errand is one of the finest testimonies to the success of American rule in the islands that has yet been rendered.; for it registers vol untary action by the Filipinos. Presi- dent Quezon from 1909 to 1916 was resident commissioner of the islands In Washington, having a seat in the House of Representatives but not a vote. Prior to that he was member of the Philippine Assembly, a Provin- cial Governor and a prosecuting at torney, his formal relation with the United States governments insular officials having been established in 1903, the year he was admitted to the bar at Manila. As one of Aguinaldo's cho7f officers in the native forces that resisted American occupation he won military prominence and showed the positive character that he has since displayed in statecraft. His record while commissioner at Washington was one of dignity and courage and a reasoned setting forth of the na- tional aspirations of the people of he represented.

 Fatal to U. $. Pliers

Paris, June 19.-The Paris Herald says that Benny Woodworth of San Francisco, chief of the First section of the American ambulance field ser vice, has been killed, and Lincoln Chatkoff of New York witty, pilot in the Lafayette escuadrilla, has been dangerously wounded in an aeropIane accident.
 Woodworth went to the headquar- ters of the Lafayette escuadrilla in Champagne on Friday evening, where he met his friend .Chatkoff. They de- cided to fly over and visit some com rades at the camp of 4'the storks; Capt Guin9mer's squadron, about six miles away Chatkoff rose to a height of about 150 feet and began to execute a series of evo1utions, begin ming with spira1s and then nose div ing toward the earth.
 Eye witnesses say that when near the ground the pilot seemed to make an effort to right the machine in or
 der to rise again. Chatkoff either miscalculated the distance or some thing went wrong with the apparatus for the machine never altered its course, but plunged head1ong and
 buried it's nose in the earth.
 Woodworth was killed instantly one of bis legs being severed and the other crushed, suffering in addition other injuries. Chatkoff suffered l serious internal injuries, fractured fskul and suffered other wounds

stoek;no the National Parks.

The United States is carrying on a very interesting work in exchanging the wild animals of one region for those of others -transplantin elk and deer and Rocky mountain bighorns from regions in the United States where they are plentiful to others where, so far as known, they have not lived. Some of the animals are being shipped long distances, says the Popular Sci ence Monthly.
 Wyoming is full of elk. The herds in the Jackson Hole country are the largest of any of North American wild animals since the days of the countless buffaloes. But the big Yosemite Ma tional park of California, with its three quarters of million acres, un- til recently had no elk, or at least only a very few scattered specimens. But the elk shipped in from Wyoming have become very much at home and are breeding and multiplying rapidly, add ing to the charm and picturesqueness of this popular national playground

Love and Marriaae.

First love is very apt not to be the lasting love- said Dr. Antoinette Koni- kow, speaking at the Boston School of Social Science.
 Young lovers try to excuse all the faults of the loved one because they are not in love with the individual, but with love. Hence they may not choose the partner with whom they will find their happiness in later years. Many a man and woman is glad by middle age that the first love was frustrated,
 Marriage should be based on love alone or 1t is immoral, and some change is necessary if marriage is to be saved from degradation. Real love always makes people better.

MARY ANN CLARKE
 AND CECILY, OF YORK

On June .19, 1852, there died in Boulogne, France, Mary Ann Clarke, whose affaire de occur with the Duke of York had aroused England In the year 1909 charges had been brought against the Duke and both Parliament and London society looked to this woman to substantiate certain allega- tions The ducal house of York has several times been in trouble and it's members have often experienced great sorrows.e Thus Cecily Duchess of York, who died in 14s5, was doomed to witness in her own family more appalling calamities than probably are to be found in the history of any other individual. Her husband was killed in the battle of Wakefield. Her son, Edmund, Earl of Rutland, a boy of 12, was murdered after the battle. Another son, George, Duke of Clar- ence, was put to death in the Tower of London, his wife, having previously been poisoned. Edward, Prince of Wales, who married her great-niece, was murdered after the battle of Tewkesbury. Besides these relatives she lost either in battle or by murder eight nephews, brother-in-law, a son-in-1aw and several others more distantly related. Another son-in- law, Holland, Duke of Exeter, who married her daughter Anne, lived long in exile and in such poverty as to be compelled to beg his bread and in 1473 his corpse was found stripped naked on the sea shore near Dover. Her grandchildren were killed in bat tie or fell victim to the executioner's s axe. She survived all her troubles and all her children except one and lived to a ripe old age. She lies buried in the Collegiate church at Fotherin- gay,
