MANN TALKS SOIL FERTILITY.
No Land So Poor Manure Will Not
Make Il Rich.

There is no land so poor that
manure will not make it rich, or no
land so rich that manure will not make
il richer" stated Mr.. Frank !. Mann.
soil fertility editor of the Prairie
Farmer. to over 800 short course stu
dents that packed the lecture room at
Ames.
Mr.. Mann has been practical
farmer for over forty years, and has
built up farm yielding thirty bushels
Of corn an acre to near eighty bushels
an acre. AS he stated. he saw the
farming vocation change from an oc-
cupation to a business: and now the
occupation depends on the size OF the
crops that is grown and the size OF the
crops depends on the fertility OF the
soil
Mr.. Mann believes that there Is not
an acre in Illinois or Iowa that can
not be made to double its production
to that of the virgin soil. Adding Ter
tility is replacing the elements that
have been robbed from the soil. and In
replacing such materials, add those
also which will aid in making avail
able the essential plant foods.
Success in farming depends on the
size of the crop, and the profit in
farming depends on the cheapness
with which these elements can be APP
Piled" continued Mr.. Mann. He
stated that the application of manure
was one of the best means of adding
fertility: but there are substitutes OF
the calcium. phosphorus and nitrogen.
In applying 100 pounds of limestone.
there is applied as much calcium as
there are in four tons Of manure, ana
in applying one ton Of rock phosphate
there is 2S0 pounds Of phosphorus.
which requires 40 tons of manure to
equal the same amount OF phosphorus
'tFor nitrogen" he continued, 1T
may be added easiest, cheapest and to
the best advantage. thru green manur-
ing crops as clover or alfalfa crops
piowed under in the early fall
That besides these four essential
elements. he stated that fresh
vegetable matter is further necessary
in the soil That it is necessary TO
give life to the soil, to put food into
solution.
Mr. Mann in summary stated that
with the applications of rock phos-
phate for phosphorus, limestone Tor
calcium and green manures for nitro
gen, there is no land. however poor
that can not be rebuilt.

IOWA HELD AS EXAMPLE.
Farming Practices Of This State May
Be Compared to Germany.

Instead of citing Germany as
standard for farming, the people OF the
United States might as we'll say. II we
could farm like Iowa. declared Dr.
G. F.. Warren, of Cornell University in
his farm management talk this morn
ing. in discussing the relation OF the
worlds food supply to population.
In speaking Of the problems that the
United States will be forced to meet
in the next twenty years, DR.. Warren
referred to the restrictive legislation
which was aimed at immigration, high
prices and the fixing of prices. Some
Of these types are useless. In the
same class he put such things as egg
boycotts, which were started by silly
women"
Legislation restricting immigration
meets his approval, however. Some
legislators, he said, seem to think that
we need Drawn in this country and be-
cause food is scarce that we should
invite our neighbors over to eat what
we have.
II hope" said the speaker, that an
other bill against immigration, when
presented in congress. will be passed
over the veto Of the president.
1--WE are Just getting started on re-
strictiye legislation. Even the fixing
Of prices is not unseen.

UNPRECEDENTED DEMAND
FOR PORK MEATS CAUSE
OF UNPRECEDENTED PRICES

According to the bureau of crop
estimates there were 6I,543,0oo hogs in
United States Jan. l last. This COM
pared with 6i,TS6.00o year ago pre-
viCus. but there were marketed at
c.even chief centers of the country
last year over 1000, 900 more hogs than
in 1915 and at prices which averaged
highest on record for the whole year.
Market has climbed skyward since
the opening of the new year, until the
bulk of hogs being sold over the coun-
try now are commanding sl1.25 to
sll..5 per hundred weight and tops at
Chicago today made s12. That which
has brought about this phenomenal
basis OF values in spite of heavier pro-
duction and marketings than in re-
cent years has been an unprecedented
demand for pork meats, both on
domestic and foreign account. Hogs,
like cattle and sheep, are having an
enormous demand by reason OF state
OF prosperity over the country such as
has never before been known.
That the 1917 crop will sell high ali
during the year. and work much above
present levels now seems assured.
Hogs are being contracted for June
delivery al prices in many instances
81 higher than the current market
rates.
Certainty of at least continuance
of the high prices now being paid ana
a prospect for still higher levels later
in the year should exert a strong in
ffuence III increasing hoS production
Cholera scourge has hit only a com
paratively few sections of the country
within the past year. Breeding stock
is in good condition and an increased
number of sows are bound to farrow
this spring.
A greater spring crop OF pigs than
in history is in prospect but even II
the pig crop is 10 to Is per cent larger
than a year ago. every one OF them
will be needed in consumptive cham
nels when matured.
Dollar and even higher corn need not
repress hog production. Feed is cheap
when it goes into hogs OF current
value, even tho il costs record price

DEWITT FARMERS ORGANIZE.


A shipping society with thirty char
ter members was organized at the far
mers' meeting held at Dewitt.
The meeting. which was addressed
by Hon. NJ. +. SnaTp. national organizer
for the American Society of Equity
with headquarters at Wausau, WIS,
was attended by 100 progressive far
,riefs who diligently listened to a two
hour talk in which he outlined the Oh
tects of the society and the methods
to be followed in the forming of To-
cal unit to affiliate with the national
organization. Beginning his talk with
an appeal for cooperative organiza-
ton among farmers and producers
of this land, including all classes Of
farming and stock raising interests.
Mr. Sharp made strong appeal for
such unity. illustrating the benefits to
be derived therefrom by showing the
power Of the different trusts and the
wealth garnered by complete organi-
cation from the Standard OIL trust
down to the bootblack trust
Much of this time was occupied in
explaining the tobacco trust with
which he said he had become thor
oughly familiar owing to the fact that
he Is q native of Kentucky and far
mer engaged in the growing Of the
weed. He cited conditions before and
after the organization of the Tobacco
Growers Union with which he affili-
ated In May, 1904. This tobacco
growers union. he said. was part
Of the American Society of Equity and
that before they affiliated with said
society the average price Of tobacco
leaf was $3.50 per hundred pounds but
now with an organization containing
IS per cent of the growers in Kentucky
and Tennessee they have steadily seen
values rise until the price this past
year was from $3.50 to 81 per cwt.
Another class Of farmers. the wheat
growers" he said, were now in the
fold with good organization which Is
growing daily until at least they, too,
are in position to dictate a price so
that they may receive a fair percent
age of profit above the cost OF produce
ton. Continuing, he said. this society
has at present. cooperating with the
national office at wausau, five distinct
state organizations along with several
units scattered turnout the land and
more joining each day. The plan pro-
vides that five units be organized in a
county before they may have any voice
in the state society which In turns Is
subordinate to the national Office.

IOWA FARM NEWS AND NOTES

but four farm crops. corn. cotton, hay
and wheat declared Mr.. Turpin.
"Only one domestic animal produces
as much as does the American hen and
that is the dairy cow
The average farm flock is producing
on the average of eighty-three eggs
per hen per year. Ten dozen ought to
be the goal for the average Iowa
farmer. The best and most economical
method of building up farm flock, is
to buy rooster which is from high
producing parents. Specialists have
found that rooster transmits this
characteristic to his offspring with
great degree Of certainty. Now, II a
rooster of good parentage will give
the farmer pullets that will lay
dozen more eggs than the puHets from
the ordinary rooster and there are 100
such puilets saved. the investment GER
tainly is worth while even should the
rooster cost $40.

The association awarded the con-
tract for shipping Of live stock for the
coming year to the Farmers Cooper
alive Exchange at Essex, the contract
price being fixed at 3 cents per cwt oa
hogs and 2 cents per cwt on cattle. The
association has progressed very rapidly
during the time it has been In exist
ence. 1t was organized three years
ago with twenty one charter members.
Today the membership totals 142. An
other interesting feature OF the meet
ing was letter read from the COM
merciai club of Essex whereby it ex-
tended to the Farmers Cooperative
Exchange and Shipping Association, d
most hearty welcome to the city. The
mayor was also present and on behalf
of the city council welcomed the ex-
change and association to the city.
Special interest was taken in one re-
mark the mayor made in his brief
speech. He said they fully realized
the fact that they could offer no in
ducement to any factory 10 locate in
their city that would turn out the
amount of finished products that the
Farmers Cooperative Exchange and
Shipping Association will turn out. Ths
association extended vote of thanks
to the commercial club and city coua-
Gil for their courtesy.

been formed In this county. the first
OF which was in Olive township and
the next in Berlin township One unit
at Dixon. In Scott county. has also
been formed and several more we're In
course of organization, including Lost
Nation where Mr.. Sharp held meet
ing Saturday evening.
Concluding. he said that everywhere
the cooperative plan Of buying and
selling had been tried during the past
twelve years it had proven successful In
that 1t did away with the middlemen
to large extent and enabled the far
mer to buy In carload lots or more thru
their local unit as well as to sell the
same way and not be dependent on To-
cal commission men either In disposing
of the farm products or live stock.

For Itching Scalp

You do not want slow treatment
for itching scalp when hair is falling
and the dandruff germ is killing the
hair roots. Delay means-no hair.
Get, at any drug store, a bottle Of
zemo for Csc or $1.00 for extra large
size. Use as directed, for it does the
work quickly. 1t kills the dandruff
germ. nourishes the hair roots and inl-
mediateiy stops itching scalp. II is
a pure, reliable, antiseptic liquid, is not
greasy, is easy to use and will not stain.
Soaps and shampoos are harmful, as
they contain allsali. The best thing to
use for scalp irritations is zemo, for It
is safe and also inexpensive.
