thirty-sevsn POUNDS 10 produce bale OF
cotton. Naturally, II we supply all the
nitrogen needed and fail TO provide the
phosphoric acid. we have done a very
poor job. for phosphoric acid then be-
comes the limiting factor Applying the
figures used above TO the phosphoric
acid content of the soil. we see that
only about twenty pounds would be
available for the use of the growing
crop, and that we would need in this
instance TO add at least 200 pounds Of
is per cent acid phosphate to make good
the deficiency.
II will take about forty-seven pounds
of potash to produce a bale of cotton,
OF the potash, however, in the soil be-
comes available under the circumstances
indicated above. This would amount to
fifty-seven pounds. If all of 1t were
assimilated this would meet the re-
quirements of the crop. but as some of
IL would not be taken up. it is apparent
that the addition of some potash under
the circumstances would be desirable.
or course il would not be difficult to
apply the amount of limestone needed TO
correct the acidity in question. If the
plant food supply of this particular soil
were balanced up I'm the manner indi-
Gated there would be a decided increase
in the yield obtained. Naturally, of
course. the soil must be maintained in
proper physical condition so that plen-
ty of moisture will be absorbed and
held for the use of the growing plants.
The foregoing facts illustrate that
each soil is peculiar in itself and that
its needs and requirements must be
studied out and supplied. In other
words. We can not apply one formula
Co. W1,e
best results The business of studying
soils and prescribing for them is quite
as complicated as that of the medical
practitioner or the man who devotes his
effort and attention to the preparation
of rations for human beings. One would
think il absurd to use the same kind of
medicine in the same proportion Tor all
diseases Similarly, soils must be treat
ed as separate entities. Some soils re-
duire much more fertilizers than 9TH
ers Some require, for instance to be
built up in nitrogen; others in phos-
phoric acid or potash, as the case may
be In view of these facts. it is not
surprising that we have given so little
attention to the study of our soils, and
that we should have so neglected to in
cuIcate into the minds of our young
people any of the fundamental princi-
Piles concerned with crop production. Is
il possible that a study of the facts as
presented above could in any way lower
the standard of the course of study In

Some years ago there died In Ne
braska a man named Walsh, who. as
a boy, started a suspension bridge.
When Walsh was about ten years OLD
the first steps for the construction OF
the suspension bridge at Niagara were
taken. The first thing necessary was
the stretching Of a single wire across
the chasm. The engineer In charge
had thought Of a way to get 1t across
"what boy Is the best htefiier In
town. he asked
The Walsh boy was named as the
best kitefier In the town Of Niagara
Falls, and the engineer accordingly
asked that he be brought to him. He
was made to understand that he u
fy his kite across the Niagara river.
He few 1t across and allowed 1t to
come down on the other side. Men
were there to seize 1t. Then the en-
gineer attached a wire to the string
on his side, and the men on the other
side detached the kite and by means
of the string drew the wire across. BY
this, In turn, a cable was drawn across,
and the bridge was well begun.-Har-
