FERTILIZER MANUFAC fURERS
HAVE STANDARDIZED
THEIR PRODUCT
The standards" for Wheat

The willy and elusive fertilizer analy-
sis has been roped, tied and branded.
No more will it be free to bob up in
forty different combinations to worry
the perplexed farmer. if the plans of
the fertilizer manufacturers can be
carried out TO a full finish. T.
Instead of thousand or more an
elyses, each differing from its nearest
relative but little, the manufacturers
with the aid of the soil and crop ex-
perts of the different states have
picked ont score or 50 analyses
which will answer all needs, whether
the crop be wheat or onions, and
whether the soil be loan or clay.
This Is a most important step In adj
vance. and through the elimination of
50 many needless grades. each feqnir-
Ing its separate mixing. separate bag
ging. and separate listing and book
keeping, considerable money and no
end of confusion will be saved all
along the line.
The analyses selected for wheat are !:

farmers try to supply this plantfood
through the longtime process of add

This plan may maintain fertility but
1t will seldom add fertility. The small
crops grown on the impoverished fields
do not supply sufficient hnmus-making
material to get the soil into loose.

WORLD RECORDS IN WHEAT
GROWING. s,.-4-

The largest yield Of wheat
ever recorded was II7.2 bushels
per acre. 1t was produced In
1895 In Island county. Washing
ton. on an 18-acre field.
The largest yield Of wheat
over a period Of years Of which
the world has any record is that
of 1914 bushels per acre at the
Rothamsted experiment station
In England. This yield Is the
average for period Of 90 years.
Ordinary unfertilized land In
England does not do that well.
In fact, the average yield of un-
fortified land for the same pc
riod of years was only 1914
bushels. The extra "a bushels
was the result Of an annual ap-
piication Of fertilizer containing
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash.

S ONE REASON WHY
PRICES ARE HIGH
It's the Fault of the Paper Dollar.

When man has but 800 In bank
and issues three 90-day notes for 800
each, based on the bank deposit as Sc
eurity, the value of those notes soon
falls very decidedly. In other words,
the average creditor would feel that
he ought TO have two or even three
such notes before he had paper suifi-
Gent to equal the value Of that 800
in gold that lies in the bank
This is approximately what has hap
pened with the worlds currency. SO
much paper has been issued in the
form of notes, credits. bonds and SINH
lar promises to pay that its value
when compared with actual food and
clothing and other necessities has
fallen tremendously. We express this
same idea the other way around by
saying prices have gone up"
There Is no reason to expect rapid
retirement of paper promises-War
bonds the world over must run for
some years yet to come. and private
credits cannot be Withdrawn soon.
Therefore this cause of high prices
will probably be with US for some time
yet-seyeral years, In fact.
In the case Of farm crops, al least,
there IS another very good reason why
prices are high. Many more mouths
are to be fed than formerly and this
condition also is likely 10 persist. War
devastated fields cannot immediately
regain their former productivity. The
farmer seems to be secure in the as
surance Of good crop prices for long
time to come.

ton at Hardwick last Friday, when Perry,

Jersey herd from that famous dairy for

a number of them calves and young stock.
About twenty-five hundred people attended
the sale. The Holstein owners took ex-
ception to some of Perry'sremarks, but of
course made allowances for his prejudice,
which they say was due to his early edu-
cation.
G. I. Towne sold twenty-five head of

Coming Universalist Meetings

1t is expected that the session of the
Universalist Affiliated Organizations which
| will be held at the local Universalist Church
the coming week will be most important
To local people, probably the appearance
of DIR. /. P. Booth will have great interest.
He will preach at the Sunday morning SER
| vice and will assist in the Communion Ser
vice in the evening. On Monday even
| ing what is expected to be an enthusiastic
meeting of the Y. P. c. U. will be held.
Rev. G. R. Stetson the State President
and who has recently been honored by an
election to the National Vice Presidency
will preside. Rev. Harold Scott who will
deliver the Annual Sermon is acknowledged
to be the ablest of the younger preachers
OF Vermont. Probably few people in
Morrisville will feel the call to attend the
Praise service on Tuesday morning at 600
a. M, but those who do will find it one of
the inspiring sessions of the Convention.
The address on Tuesday morning by Rev.
E. A Lewis of Lyndonville is bound to be
help to all young people. For those in
terested in the social problems of our own
State, the address by w. H. jeffrey of
Montpelier is bound to be helpful. Mr..
Jeffrey has done more for the dependent
children of Vermont than any other agency.
At the session of the Woman's S Missionary
Association which opens on Tuesday after
noon, Mrs. Marietta Wilkins, the National
President, will have with her the adopted
japanese daughter who is being educated
in this country. Mrs. Wilkins and Miss
Hathaway the Japanese missionary whose
Sabbatical year of absence is now drawing
to close will speak at the Tuesday ev1n-
ing service. The big events of Wednesday
for the general public will be the address
by Rev. Richard Eddy Styles, d. D. the
ne Wy installed President of St. Lawrence |
University, man who makes his first Of
ficial visit to Vermont but who has always
regarded Vermont as his home, the birth
place of all of his immediate ancestors,
and the address by Rev. Harold Marshall,
Business Manager of the Universalist
Publishing House one OF the lea ding writer's
on Social Subjects in the country and the
founder and manager of the Community
