SOIL PLANT FOODS REMOVED
Experiments Add Valuable Information
for Farmer in Use of Commercial
Fertilizer.

A great many experiments, care
fully controlled, have been made to
determine the amount OF soil plant
food removed by crops, and while
in general way they are more In
teresting than practically instructing
for the average farmer, yet they add
valuable information along the line
of the use Of commercial fertilizers.
The results obtained from the corn
experiments show an average use by
full crops Of so pounds of nitrogen, 3S
pounds of phOsphoric acid, and as 40
pounds of potash. The huslilng corn
uses more nitrogen in proportion than
the ensll0ge corn, but this is no doubt
due to the prolonged feeding season,
developing and ripening the ears. the
ensilngc being cut in green stage
There is, however, quite wide range
shown in some of the tests. which is
apparently due to the greater avail
ability of the soil ingredients. For
instance, in full crops of both en-
silage and husking corn its potash
has been shown varying from 60 to
100 pounds to the acre of crops, while
the nitrogen and phosphoric acid MAIN
tain their level average.

years, thus making 1t worth while to

SUGAR SHOWED
 OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up Luxury Demonstrated Ma
 tion'S War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
By Reducing Consumption People of the United States Averted Q
 Famine at Home in Spite of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people of the United States were able to reduce by more than one-half million tons their July, August, September and October consumption of sugar proves conclu- sively that their war conscience was thoroughly awakened and that the country as a whole stood ready to fol low the injunctions of the Government.
 Our normal consumption of sugar in the four-month period beginning with July has been 100000 tons per month, a total of 100000 for the quarter year.
 In July, when our sugar stringency began to reach it's height, consumption was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au- gust only 325, 1000 tons went into dis tribution and in September only 2F9,- 900 tons. In October the distribution fell to 23o,0OO tons.
 If the general public had failed to observe the injunctions of the Food Administration this country would have been in the throes of a sugar famine before the end of August. Our visible supplies were so low as to bring great anxiety to those familiar with the sugar situation. They feared that 1t would be absolutely impossible to reduce consumption to a point where sugar would no longer be a mere lux ury in the American diet.
 Few accomplishments of the Food Administration will stand forth so pre- dominantly as this reduced consump- ton of sugar. By 1t we have been able to bridge over the period of stringency until the new beet and Louisiana cane sugar crops were in Sight.
 Now the nation is in a position so that if we choose we may return to our normal home use of sugar, and Europe, with the release of ships to go far afield, can maintain its recent re- stricted rations. If, however, those nations are to increase their use of sugar very considerably 1t must be by our continued sharing with them through limiting our own consump- ton.
