limestone per acre once in a FIVE
year rotation. You cannot use
lime indefinitely without constant
ly adding to your supply of or
gsnic matter, neither can you
fully maintain the supply Of or
ganic matter without the use Of
lime and green manures.
This is well summed up in the
following four lines:
Lime and lime without manure
Makes both farm and farmer
poor;
But lime, manure and vigor-
Gus clover
Makes the old farm rich all over" |"
l believe you may find it a
rather difficult matter to keep
enough stock TO entirely supply
your farm with manure on an
economic basis. In other words,
l should want to supply at least
a part of the organic matter by
means Of the green manure crops
Of which have spoken.
The total amount of manure
produced by the average COW in a
year is reckoned at 10000 pounds
per 1000 pounds Of live weight,
and If you intend to depend en-
tlrely upon manure, | should say
that you ought to have six or
seven tons per acre annually or
double this amount once in two
years.
To sum up / would say that you
need not hesitate to use CONNER
cial fertilizers rather generously
if you take care to maintain the
supply of organic matter in the
soil as | have indicated. Last year
on rather heavy loan soil in
south Jersey we secured about as
profitable results with potatoes
from the use Of twelve to sixteen
hundred pounds per acre of a 4.8-3
fertilizer as we did with 1000
pounds per acre.
II you care to go into the mat
ter Of kind of cattle to keep for
manure production / would refer
you to Professor J. M. Hunter,
of the Department of Animal In
dustry here at the station.
p. 81 should say that it is
not well to use much lime when
potatoes are being grown. On
the other hand, lime is generally
required for successful legu-
minous green manure crops. To
grow potatoes it will perhaps be
best to use lime sparingly and
as far away from the potato year
as possible, and If you find that
you cannot successfully grow
vetch and clover on account of
the absence of lime you could
use wheat or rye as green ma
nure crops.
Very truly, yours,

Editor Washington Times. Wash
ington, D. c.
Dear SiF-Your question in re-
gard to maintaining soil fertility
Is q very broad one. Indeed, one
would need TO write many pages
to give anything like a compre-
henSiVe anEWer.
Briefly, would say that it is
possible to maintain a soil in good
condition with the aid Of CONNER
ciai fertilizers and without farm
manure, if in addition to the com
mencial fertilizers green manure
erops. especially leguminous green
manure crops, are introduced in
the rotation quite often. By green
manure crops / mean such crops
Gs rye and vetch, or vetch, rye
and crimson clover, or a mixture
Of cloVrs and vetch for winter
growth, and soybeans, coWpeas or
Canada field peas for summer
growth; such crops to be turned
under 70 aid in maintaining the
supply Of organic matter and
nitrogen.
For the past twelve years this
station has been conducting an
experiment in which a comparison
. is being made between farm
manure at the rate of seven and
one-half tons per acre (applied
enoe IN two years. and legumi-
nouS green manure crops follow
ing each main CROP as a source
Of organic matter and nitrogen.
The rotation is a foUr-year one,
consisting Of rye. corn, potatoes
and oats. Lime and mineral fer
tiliBers-phosphate and potash
are supplied in both cases, but no
other source Of nitrogen; that is,
In the one case farm manure as a
source Of nitrogen and in the other
leRuminOus green manure crops.
This Is being tried out on eight
types Of soil and the results up to
date are distinctly in favor of the
green manure crops with refer
eace to crop yields, and are at
least equal to the manure in the
matter of maintaining the feFtil-
ity of the soil. 1t is our belief,
furthermore, that the green ma
nurs crops are not as expensive
as the farm manure.
On the other hand, would say
most enphaticslly if you omit both
farm manure and green manure
crops you cannot maintain your
crop Yields over q long period of
years, even though you use COM
mercial fertilizers in the most
generous fashion. In connection
with the production of leguminous
green manure crops you will find
It necessary to apply lime at in
tervals, Our custom has been to

Nicest Young Man She Ever Net.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am a girl twenty-five years old,
and have been here only a short
time. The day before I left my
home city was introduced to the
incest young man ever met in my
life. He was just my ideal, and
We got along wonderfully. He told
me all about his work and ambi-
tions, and for several hours we
discussed topics in which we were
both interested.
He gave me his card and made a
note Of my name, but could not
give him my address. as I did not
know where would be in this city.
He told me he had become engaged .
short time ago to a girl In another
town, but learned from a friend
that they often quarreled. Would it
be proper for me to send him a
postcard, putting my address on Il?
VIRGINIA.
1t would be entirely proper for
you to send the young man a post
card, If you cared to. But the fact
that he is already engaged, and
yet you found him so accessible"
would seem to indicate that he
is something of a flirt. And it
always is a question how much
time one cares to waste with this
type.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
There are five Of Us girls tina
chum together and though We are
not beautiful we are considered
pretty. We are seventeen and we
know we are too young to have
steady company, but we can not
understand why the boys we 90 to
school with never invite rs to the
school danceA We would like you
to advise US az to what We can do
to become more friendly with them.
Through our "5ollineSs" we have
many girl friends, but We do not
seem TO be able to get we'll enough
acquainted with the boys to get
invited out.
THE UNLUCKY FIVE
Please forgive me for smiling
over your signature, 'The Unlucky
Five" At seventeen no one is un-
lucky, the whole world lies before
you and you have only to choose
the best and cling to it with might
and mainland you make your own
luck. AS far as high school dances
are concerned, / approve very
heartily Of young people becoming
acquainted and going to dances to-
gether. In this way Charlie
Brown and Jenny Smith are no
longer creatures Of deliOhtful and
battling mystery. He or she turns
out to be a boy OF girl very much
like the brother or sister at home.
Why don't one Of the "unluckY
Ave" talk the situation over with
her mother, and arrange a little
dance at her home: invite the
boys and have a jolly evening.
Then they will undoubtedly invite
you to some of the school dances.

Wishes 10 Marry at Sixteen.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

Wishes TO Marry at Sixteen.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
lam a mother with two boys. and
I am coming to you for a little ad-
vice. NV oldest boy is sixteen
years Of age. and is writing to
a girl about the same age. And
when / did not care about them
writing to each other, she asked
him to leave home and go to her
and they would get married. She
writes such letters that really IT
seems to me as IL she is much old
er than she admits. She has even
gone so far as 10 tell him that they
can get married in Kentucky. at
sixteen, without parents consent.
7 have talked to my boy about IL
and explained everything to him,
so at last he wrote to her to forget
him. but now she writes that she
can't forget him, and begs him to
come to her. What can 1 do to
stop It? I have got him started
learning a good trade, and he has
always been a good boy, and has
no bad habits, but now he is be-
ginning to talk back to me, and
says he will have her. Is there not
something 7 can do to stop it? I
am a widow, and really need his
help, but he don't seem to think Of
that: he used to be such a good
boy until he met this girl, and
everybody has spoken of how he
has changed.
HEARTBRoKEN MOTHER.
Ny correspondent will certainly
have the sympathy Of everyone
who reads her letter. And we can
only hone that the absurdity of
two children of this age attempt
ing to marry will prevent any de-
cent clergyman or official from
performing the ceremony.

visions Of the Harrison narcotic law

Court Decisions Help.
Recent decisions by the United
States Supreme court have helped the
bureau by defining it's power clearly.
The recent decision in the case Of Bas-
com G. Thompson is the first to ex-
pound the legal rights Of physician
in prescribing drugs. 1t declared a
physician cannot prescribe drugs sim
ply to relieve the cravings Of an ad-
dict, and that*prescriptions for that
purpose can be issued only on a spe-
cial blank furnished by the commits
sioner Of internal revenue. ~.:-
The bureau has been hampered in
it's pursuit of .illegitimate traffic in
drugs through the ignorance or In
difference Of the public to the extent
to which drug habits have grown and
the evils attendant thereon. Even in
medical circles there are still old.
fashioned doctors who do not appre-
ciate the evils Of the habit or the
ease with which it is contracted.
The Harrison law has a moral OBJ
ject in view as well as the collection

no invasion of the police powers Of
the states, as it is revenue act. The
new regulations will emphasize the

physicians, no patient can be cured
