select this one from the crowd that

"What is your nameY asked the
teacher of a first-grade pupil at a
city school. She was taking the names
of all the children for her record. And
this child was coy and playful.
"Guess" he challenged. st begins

tity and availability Of the plant food
they contain, the fertilizer problem is a
local one which each grower must
solve for himself. BY using varying
amounts of the different elements Of
plant food on different plats and keep
ing a record Of the yields, each grower
can determine readily what kinds and
quantities of fertilizer to apply.
Good management, however, will in
sure large amount Of humus in the
soil at all times. 1t is especially de-
sirable that the humus supply be ample
when the plantation is first set out.
1t is much easier and cheaper to fur
nish the humus by means Of cover
crops and stable manure before the
plantation is set than afterward when
the plants are growing. Moreover, by
such extra care before setting it is pos
sible to secure a fair crop of fruit the
second season. Because it costs so
much to care for plantation for
year it will pay well to have the soil
in high state of fertility before the
plants are set, so that the plantation
may be brought into bearing year
sooner than would be possible other
wise.
Use Of Fertilizers.
In many sections no fertilizers are
used on bearing plantations. In the
older raspberry sections, however,
some commercial fertilizer and stable
manure are used, and 1t is considered
profitable to use them. Stable manure,
however, usually has given the best re-
suits and experiments have shown that,
where obtainable, it furnishes the best
means of enriching the soils on which
the experiments have been tried. Stable
manure not only furnishes some plant
food but supplies large quantities Of
humus. If an annual application Of
about ten tons per acre is made, the
humus supply should be maintained,
and with proper treatment in other
ways the field should be kept at high
state of productiveness. Some soils
and some sections will need larger
quantity and some less than ten tons
per acre. A heavier application, how
ever, should not be made unless it has
been found by actual trial to be de-
sirable, as it is possible to stimulate
the growth of canes and leaves to such
an extent as to reduce productiveness.
Cover crops may be used to maintain
the humus supply. Oats seeded at the
rate Of three bushels per acre in late
summer should give dense stand Of
material to turn under before winter,
or they may be left to serve as a COW
ering during the winter and plowed un-
der in the spring. Cowpeas, vetch,
| the various clovers, and other crops
also may be used in the raspberry
plantation. Care. must be taken in
growing the vetch and clovers, as they
live through the winter and it may
prove costly to eradicate them. How
ever, If they are drilled in between the
rows and turned under before they be-
come too rank in the spring, little trou-
BILE should be experienced.

ADVERTISING PAYS

Bradstreet's says that "eighty-four per
cent of all failures are among non-dd0er-

Which, considering the source OF the de-
claration, is pretty Conclusive proof that dd-
Uertising pays.

Der cent of business failures are among ad-

No business firm eUer became truly great
except BY the aid of advertising! <o.t
Like competition, advertising is the lite
of trade." Without it, in modern days and
under modern business conditions, no com
mercial or other business concern can
achieve that it can lOith it. ;,
