He urges upon the people OF the

food as possible for its own people.

ic matter, it is doubtful if its use
will be profitable. II should always
be kept in mind that nitrate OF soda
will not give its largest returns on
soils deficient in phosphorus. The
foregoing recommendations are bas-
ed upon experimental results too
lengthy TO summarize in this brief
circular.
In this war emergency, farmers
should redouble their efforts to
maintain nitrogen and organic mat

Next year will raise some wheat.
II is sown now.
I will now tell you something
about the club as a whole. At the
beginning of 1915 our clubs were
organized, new officers elected and
plans arranged so we might have
some shows at which our pigs, corn,
etc, could be exhibited. Dur
ing this year our club showed quite
an Improvement.
The following year, 1916, we start
ed over again trying TO improve our
past years work-and we did.
I, myself. who was an interested
member, held the State Corn Champ
ionship. besides all other prizes won
that year and the past year.
These prizes amounted TO quite
lot. About twenty blues, ten reds,
at Berea. One third prize Of $500
was won at Louisville State Fair
where | was third in corn judging
contest competing with the other
county representative Of Kentucky.
One of the ways we interest our
boys of Madison, Rockcastle, and
Jackson Counties is by holding
each year club convention
where all the club members
meet and talk over club work. We
have used this plan for the last two
years and expect TO continue its use.
