Fertilizers Supply Plant Foods Without Which

conditions be provided for the plant
so that the fertilize~ used may enable
the plant to grow most vigorously, and
therefore, bring about the biggest
yields.
Vigorous Seed
The fundamental, good growing con-
ditions making possible the most ef-
ficient use Of plant foods, are good
seed, a good seed bed and good cufti-
vation.
Ali planting seed must have strong
vitality to germinate and grow rapidly.
Seed should also be Of variety adapt
ed to local conditions. Time and rate
Of planting must be given attention,
for either one of these may very ma
terially effect the yield Of the crop.
Good SEED Bed
Conditions required in the soil for
best plant growth, and biggest acre
returns from fertilizers used, are a
good, well prepared, finely pulverized
seed bed. 1t should be mellow and
firm, so as to enable the roots td
penetrate freely and deeply In search
Of food and moisture, and to allow SUI!
ficient circulation Of air. 1t should
be well drained. It should be well
supplied with organic matter. which
aids in absorbing and holding moisture
and improves the structure and tilth
of the soil Good cultural methods
must be employed so as to destroy
weeds and retain soil moisture.
If the preceding conditions ara sat
isfactory for plant growth, then, and
not till then, are crops able to make
the most efficient use OF plant foods
within their reach. If any one OF
these unfavorable conditions exist, q
plant cannot fully utilize the foods
supplied in fertilizers. Under good
growing conditions fertilizers are used
very proftably, proof OF which Is fur
nished by thousands Of farmers all
over the South. Fertilizers contain
genuine plant food, and, OF course,
have marked beneficial influence
when applied in sufficient quantity,
and the plants are otherwise given
fair chance. The question now ts,
Are you striving to so improve your
soil conditions that you may utilize
the value Of fertilizer to the fullest
extent?

Fodder pulling has a very strong hc

provision is made for restoring and
then maintaining production, low
yields and improbable returns viii
continue to be the result. One can
not draw money from a bank unless
he has friends there. Neither can the
plant draw upon the soil and get the
necessary food elements if the soil
does not contain them.
Plan For Good Yields Every Year
Every farmer should adopt for his
land system of farming that will
give him good yields continually year
after year. II this is done, he must
feed the plants; for plants, like ami
mails, must feed to grow. While plants
require some ten or more elements
for their growth, all, except three,
are supplied in abundance in most
soils. The three elements not supplied
abundantly are nitrogen, phosphorus
and potash. All these are generally
deficient in most southern soils, and,
therefore, have to be supplied IN some
commercial form to get profitable
yields.
For farmer to get the largest acre
returns from his investment in fer
tilizers, it is necessary for him to
know something of the conditions un-
der which fertilizers may be used most
effectively. He naturally asks: I'm
der what conditions will fertilizers
prove most profitable?"
Fertilizers are used primarily to sup
ply one or more plant foods without
which crops will not be profitable.
But thsre are conditions other than
plant foods that may influence growth.

Redfield.-As climax to a series
OF incendiary fires within the past
month the sixth and largest blaze re.
suited from an evident attempt to
burn the Touring mill in this city, a
plant of about 600 barrels capacity,
belonging to the George B. Christian
company. The fire destroyed the mill
and barn and the flour house. with its
entire contents, but was checked by
the volunteer fire department before
1t spread to the mill proper. The loss,
according to statement of Local
Manager A. Versteeg, will be about
$4,000. 1t consists Of the two build
ings burned, the barn and warehouse,
together with two carloads of flour
and large quantity of feed in the
warehouse and ready to ship. A valu'
able team was lost in the barn fire.

about half that amount. There has
also been a heavy fire loss of hay and
grass in the western part of the state,
one fire alone in Dewey county burn
ing over $4,000 tons of hay worth
many thousands of dollars on the
ground, and quarter of a million on

covering practically all sections west
OF the Missouri river, and considera-

trail part Of the state, have no doubt
more than doubled this loss, all of 1t
without insurance. The loss to stacked
hay is severe one, but no more
so than to the range grass itself in

the moving of large herds of cattle
for winter feeding, and the purchase
OF hay to make up for that lost.
