PROPER SOIL FOR
 THE CORN CROPS

Nitrogen hastens stalk growth, phosphoric acid and not potash push forward the maturing of the crop and filling of the corn ear, but potash fer tjlizers are almost prohibitive in price due to the continuing shortage of the potash supply.
 Growing crops want what they want when they want it." as the saying is. War and famine fertilizer prices are not their business The ears will not fill if the right propor- tion of potash to phosphoric acid is not maintained. Only as many ker- nals are produced as can get these clements at the rate of 10 to 16 Buy ing corn fertilizer, with the relation of former experience in these elements disturbed, is throwing away money on useless ptosphoric acid, unless the cor responding potash comes from some where.
 It can come from the soil, if it is displaced from it's acid combination by another element that will take it's place and free it into the soil water. Like potash, this element must be a base, namely, lime. Farmers do not use lime generally for corn, but under present conditions it Is essential. Do- ing so will insure the crop and with out adding to it's cost.

 It would seem that anyone in these days would be careful in the face of such dangers. but the government s adviser on this subject contends that he has known of instances where farmers have been seriously shocked by moving hay stackers under trans mission wires, only to be killed next year while trying to pass under the same wires. Naturally the same pre- cautions suggested to farmers should be used by. anyone who has occasion to move machinery of any kind under transmission wires.

PLANTING APPLE TREES.

Apple trees should be planted 25 to- 30 feet apart each way and plum and peach trees 16 to 20 feet apart, One-year-old trees should be selected for planting, although in the case of the apple, sour cherry and pear two year. old trees will usually transplant successfully if they have not grown too large. The trees may be planted either in the spring or fall. They should be set just about as deep as they stood in the. nursery. As soon as they are planted the tops should be pruned back somewhat.
