SEED SURVIVED AND WAS

! The longest known survival of any

found to grow after a period of nine
ty-fve years.
If man is going to commit a
crime during his lifetime, the chances
are that he will do it at the age Of

have shown that man is more dan

FERTILITY SOLD FROM FARM
Too Common Practice of Producer to
Calculate Value of His Crop on
the Market Price.
By c. A. WILSON, Kentucky Expert
ment Station.)

(By c. A. WILSON, Kentucky Expert
ment Station.)
Nothing else has mitigated so much
against the rational relation of live
stock to average farm operations as
the utter disregard of the fertility sold
from the farm when corn and other
crops are sold direct and not fed. In
other words, for the sake of the soils
of the state and their future produc-
ton 1t has been altogether too common
a practice for the producer to calculate
&he value of his crop on the market
price. The market price less the fer
tility sold In each pound, bushel, ton,
or other commercial unit, is a more
logical basis of estimate, aud let I'M
der any system Of direct marketing of
crops we lose sight of the possibility
of better price If fed to live stock on
the farm, the value of the utilization of
roughage, the accumulation of elements
of plantfood and vegetable matter in
the manure, a more judicious and
profitable rotation and diversity Of
crops, and an increasing crop yield at
much less cost per acre.
Realizing the rather unconscious eff
feet which market values, as or
dinarily interpreted, are having, and
may have, upon livestock interests
and hence upon the general agriculture
Of the state, the station has undertaken
a series of experiments with the view
of comparing market and farm values
of various Tennessee crops.
