COMPLETE FERTILIZER
WINS ACRE PROFIT TEST
The Michigan Experiment Station Re-
ports That All Fertilizers Paid a
Profit When Used on Wheat.

According to the 1917 report of the
Michigan slute board Of agriculture.
complete fertilizer used on wheat in
a corn, wheat, clover rotation in
creased the crop - bushels per acre.
The experiment station officials calcu-
late that at old prices for both ferti-
lizer and crops the profit for the use
of fertilizer was $l3.51 per acre.
When phosphorlc acid and potash
were used the gain over and above the
cost of fertilizer was SO. 79-this In
spite Of the fact that a heavy clover
500 was turned under once in three
years. Acid phosphate alone produced
Il net gain CT SS.G1.
The conclusions are as follows: ut
should be noted that all fertilizers
have been used with good profits. The
conclusion would seem to be war
ranted that on farms Of similar soil
types the use of fertilizer should
prove profitable, provided, Of course,
there are no other factors, such as
lack of drainage and improper culture,
that seriously limit production, and
that the use Of a complete fertilizer
should pay best in case a limited
amount of manur is available, while
on well-stocked farms phosphorus and
potash could probably be used more
prOtitably."

FINE, FIRM AND FERTILE
Should Be the Condition Of the Wheat
Seeded to Insure Maxi
mum Yields.

A fine, firm, fertile early prepared
seeded insures the largest crop Of
best quality wheat. When wheat fol-
lows oats, barley or other early har-
vested crop, pillow the land from 4 TO
= inches deep as soon as the proceed
ing crop is removed and work down
each half days blowing before leay-
ing the field, Harrow or disk the field
after every rain or as often as crust
forms, until seeding time to kill weeds
and to retain the soil moisture.
Ideal seeded preparation consists
in disking, blowing, again disking and
narrowing. Up-tO-date farmers are
following this system especially when
there Is considerable organic matter
to be plowed under. Always cut up
coarse material before turning it in
the furrOw, otherwise Ii interrupts the
movement Of moisture upward, max
ing an air space which allows drying
out. BY blowing early and maintain
ing a soil mulch, moisture is retained
which fuyors quick termination. From
to several weeks will be gained
in the sprOutlng and growth by a
thorough soil preparation. The Kan.
sas experiment station found a gain
of as much as p bushels Of wheat
when grown on land plOwed Z inches
deep July 10 and then kept well
worked until seeding time, over land
that was plowed the same depth Sep.

ANOTHER "THE0RY"
ON THE ROCKS
The Pennsylvania Experiment Station
oisproVes old Story.

Every now and then during these
strenuous days we find som,one doing
n of those "can't-be-dones' with ap-
parent ease. Probably the fellow didn't
know it couldn't be DONE" so he went
ahead and did it.
One of the latest Of the pet theories
to 20 by the board is the one that the
use Of any form of commercial fertl-
lizer ultimately runs down the soil and
causes 1t to become very unproductive.
Why this theory ever existed is hard
to tell. Perhaps someone misused
fertilizer and killed the crop. Such
a thing Is possible. Perhaps too little
or too much was used, or perhaps II
was simply because the wish was ia
Their to the thought. Anyhow it did
exist and men allowed crop produc-
ton to go steadily downhill because
they were afraid to use fertilizer to
bring it up.
The Pennsylvania experiment sta
ton has done some very notable work
along this line as reported in bulletin
l47. The investigators took a Door,
depleted sofia typical rundown
farmland in Il few years brought II
back to a productive and profitable
condition. How? Simply by using
fertilizer. In other words, they proved
that not fertilizers but the lack Of
them ran down farm soils. .
The story is interesting. Complet,
fertilizers were used up to 1914. Since
then potash has been omitted and fer
tilizer containing nitrogen and avail
able phosphOric acid has been used
The soil was not farmed under marke
garden conditions. Fertilizer was useC
in but small amounts, an average o.
slightly over 300 pounds per acre PEI
year. The fourth year of the test {
wheat crop averaging "a bushels pc.
acre was taken from the land-this
by the way, on a soil that had receive,
no barnyard manure for many year.
A few years ago the nelghbors o
the man who used fertilizer won
shake their heads wisely aud say
"Oh, yes, he gets big yields now
but in Il few years his soil vii
be so poor he won't get anything.
Now they say: zones certainly Il
lucky. He got a big crop just when tn.
price was right. OF course 1 coui,
have done the same thing as he dl,
if had used as much fertilizer"

FINDS FERTILIZER PAYS
Increases Yield of Wheat and Dat.

Increases Yield Of Wheat and Oats
ACCORDING to the Indiana Farmers
Guide, james Stelman of Deer Creek
who is one Of the most successful
farmers in Miami county, Indiana, con.
sistently uses fertilizer to supplement
the manure on his fields, and Is well
satisfied that the returns justify the
money invested In fertilizer. He saws:
81 have not sown any wheat without
fertilizer since 1895, and l have aver
aged better than 80 bushels to the
acre during that time. Ny best yield
was in 1915, when I averaged 42.5
bushels" A comparison of Mr., Sted.
mans yield with the average yield of
Miami county shows how good his
crops are. The average for Miami
county is about 20 bushels, and for the
same year the average for the entire
state Of Indiana was only II bushels.
Mr.. Stedman also says that the use
of fertilizer enables him to harvest
his crop much sooner than otherwise,
He reports an accidental experiment
with oats in 1917, where the supply Of
fertilizer ran out before he finished
sowing the oats, The part of the field
which was fortified was ready 70
harvest much sooner than the unfer
tlllzed. In addition Mr.. Stedman says
81 am sure l could have gotten Il
bushels more per acre on the part Of
the field that was not fortified ha(
l used fertilizer there, although tn,
unfertillzed section was really the bet
ter part Of the field in the beginning

This is the story Of an effort to save freight cars O the part Of a single
group of manufacturers. Last season the fertilizer industry foresaw the need
for "a saving and began to advise their customers to order early so that ship
ments might be combined to make full car loads So successful was the appeal
that the averagec car load was raised from 21S1 tons to 5000 tons-a saving of
40 Ter cent This made It possible to load the fertilizer which formerly needed
100000 cars into 21sO00 cars a clear saving Of $1,000 cars The manufacturers
are hoping for a sun greater saving In the future
