of one lime phosphate or cal cium phosphate. The total avail. able phosphorus acid is the total of one-lime phosphorus and two. lime phosphate and the reverted phosphoric acid is the three-lime phosphate. Only the soluble phosphate will be available to to the crop you put the fertilizer on that year. unless the land IS very acid and then there will be other of the elements that twill be so locked up that they twill not be available. Phosph- Orus is the element most valuable in forming the fruit or seed of the plant and is used by animals to help make bone and muscle, almost all plant foods on the market contain more phosphoric acid than all other plant foods put together.
 Potassium is basic metal and is found most commonly in. the basic form as potash in ashes lye etc. It strengthens the stalk of the plant, is part of the food stored in the seeds of the plants. and is used by animals to harden bone ade form some of the muscle and blooc. It is us- ually present in the soil in suffi- ctent quantities for cotton and kindred crops. There is seldom quite enough for corn and almost never enough for potatoes. It's ! most commoa form as an unmix- ed fertilizer is sulphate of potash and muriate of potash. There contain about 5Opercent of the potah or about 16. 2.3 percent Iplre potassium
 Little need he said about the effect of potash on lend beyond the fact that it helps to correct acidity. Of the effect on plants 1 might say that beside the fat that it strengthens the stalk it also makes the plant more re. sistant to drought, heat, cold. md disease. In other words it
 makes the plant more hardy. It IS usually stated in terms of potash and that is near enough

 zer as needs of the plant is al- sostated in terms of potash.
 Calcium is one element that
 s needen badly by many of our soils and which is seldom applied. 1t IS rarely found as a pure metal )wing to the facts that it com. pines very readily with carbon
 o form calcium-carbonate or 'ock lime calcium. like potash, adds strength to the stalk of
 plants and helps to harden the
 'ones of animals. Indeed it is
 most esential element of food both for plants and animals.
 Iany of our soils are notably
 deficient in calcium. Not only does calcium serve as a plant ghhd but it also sweetens the land. It is my beleif that if tn e soils of Franklin County were to be examined for it there would be few that would not be very much acid and contain practically no calcium. Calcium is found in three forms that are almost pure. calcium oxide or quick.lime calcium hydroxide or slack ed lime, and calcium carbonate or air-slacked lime. The pur, ground limestond is also calcium carbonate If your land needs lime. and guess 1t does, the most economlcal way to buy it is in the grrund rock form. If the land is acid the only difference between the grhund rock ana quick lime will be that the carbon will yass off as carbon di-oxide in which form it Mill be taken up again b. the plant out of the air. Lands lacking in calcium will not produce good crops of clovers or some other of the le-

HENRY FORD'S TRACTOR
SETS NEW RECORD
Experimental Twelve Years to Per-
feet Tractor-15O,O 900 in Use

Experimental Twelve Years to Per
feet Tractor-l5O,OOO in Use
Word comes from Henry Ford.
tractor plant near Detroit, that Ford
son production figures are jumping
monthly, and that nearly half Of the
tractors now being manufactured In
this country are FordsOns.
When the motor wizard began ex-
perimenting with tractors some
twelve years ago, he Is credited with
having promised farmers a machine
that would make farming "what 1t
ought to be-the most pleasant and
profitable profession in the world"
Deviating from old tractor beliefs
and manufacturing customs, he set
about building light, mobile tractor,
"a tractor not especially for use on
the big farms and ranches. but so
constructed that 1t would handle the
work on the smaller farms. The
principles Of manufacturing and sell
ing which had brought the Ford car
to success are now applied to the
tractor. As a result nearly 100000
FordsOns have gone into service; ap-
proximately One-third Of the tractors
in use In the United States are Ford
sons-this, in spite Of the fact that
the FOrdson has been on the market
only little over two years.
June was great month In the
FordsOn industries, but it has been
eclipsed by July. Not content with
breaking production records once,
the five FOrdson assembly plants
shattered the mark during July by
turning out 9,766 Fordsons, or GIT
more than in June. Never before
have the FOrdson plans smashed
records on two consecutive months,
and the hope is expressed in view
of the production figures to date,
that August will see still another
high mark established. The plants
averaged 375 tractors daily against
351 In June.
The Dearborn Michigan plant has
been doing the bulk of the work. In
to supplying parts for work
at other FordsOn plants, 4,1SS trac-
tors were completed, which is near
y half the number which broke the
record. At st. Louis, 2,101 tractors
we're turned out. 2.341 at Des Moines,
$40 at Kearney, New Jersey, which
assembly work late in
June, and 238 at Cork, Ireland.
The Hamilton, Ohio, plant which
las just commenced to play an i'm
,ortant role, turned out 2,740 trans
MISSIONS which were shipped to the
,ariOus plants. Although July saw
he breaking Of the June record,
here was no day upon which great
r number Of tractors were assembled
han the record day Of June 20,
when 545 were finished. d&w
