! The dairy COW is one Of the most
important factors In maintaining and
increasing soil fertility. As rule the
most fertile and highest priced lands,
the world over, are found in the dairy
sections. On the Island Of Jersey land
rents for $50 to SEQ per acre, and is
used for keeping the Jersey COW. Land
in Holland, worth from $1,000 to 5000
per acre, Ia used almost exclusively
for dairying. In almost every com
munity in our own country can be
found farms, the fertility and value Of
which have been very materially In
creased thru the intelligent use Of the
dairy COW.

Permanent soil fertility is the fund
amental basis of permanent agricul-
ture, and the conservation of soil fer
tility is the greatest problem of agri-
culture. Unless the fertility removed
from the soil by the growth Of crops is
returned the land eventually becomes
90 reduced in plant food that profitable
crops cannot be grown. Farmers prac-
ticing this system have very properly
been called "mine farmers" because
they are constantly mining out the
fertility, or plant food, and hauling 1t
away from their farms without replac-
ing 1t. Soil fertility is like bank &C
count. IL the farmer continually
draws on the stock of plant food con-
tanned in his soil without replacing the
amount withdrawn, it will be come ex-
hausted so far as profitable crop yields
are concerned, just as surely as will
his supply of cash in the bank become
exhausted If he continues to write
checks without making deposits
Whether or not 1t is possible to main
tain fertility where grain crops are
raised and sold and commercial fer
tilizers are used, it is certain that II Is
seldom done. Grain farming has al
ways meant selling fertility that has
been stored up in past ages. and has
been followed by impoverished soils
and Improbable agriculture. The boys
and girls reared on such farms have
gone to town and left their parents to
exc out a meager existence ON such
depleted soils. On the other hand, we
ind that the farm from which the
products have been sold largely in the
form Of livestock or livestock products,
have gradually increased in fertility
and value, and the owners are pros
porous and contented.
The most marked examples are In
connection with dairy farming. Con-
tnuous growing Of crops and selling
them from the farm is like drawing on
the principal deposited in the bank
until all is gone, while dairying per
mits a man to live on the interest, as
deposits Of soil fertility are frequently
made, and the interest grows larger
year by year.
Market and Manurai Value Of Crops.
In selling crops on the farm, or in
purchasing feed stuffs, the wise farm
ers consider the value Of the plant
food that leaves his farm, or is added
TO 1t. as the case may be, and also the
market value of such products in re-
lation to its manural value. Allowing
- cents per pound for nitrogen and
cents per pound for phosphoric acid
and potash. average values for these
elements when bought in commercial
fertilizers in large quantities, In nor
NAL times, the total value of the plant
food contained in one ton of some of
the principal farm products and feed
stuffs Is as follows:
The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1921-05-13

II will be seen from the above
figures that dairy products take al
most no fertility from the farm In pro
portion TO their market value. Corn
At 50 cents per bushel is worth s2s5S
per ton, while IL removes from the
farm elements of fertility worth s77S
A ton Of wheat at $50 per bushel is
worth Sass and removes fertility

81 can imagine the rest said James
worthy. you don't need to hand out
the sickening details. A gang of old
beldames will come to our place, for
instance, and pull about five cents
worth of dandelions and then sit and
have a photographer make large pic
ture of them; after which they'll eat
two dollars and eighty cents worth of
ice cream, and IA lot of sponge cake
and anything you happen to have in
the refrigerator. One of the beldames
will be appointed a committee to write
up the affair for the newspapers, and
Mrs, Sidewinder will see that she gets
most of the glory as the originator Of
the scheme, and next spring her hus
band will be running for alderman on
the strength of it.
Nowadays the women never get
down to brass lacks and do real work.
They must make a society function out
of every little chorc they 40. They
won't carry dead cat out of the front
yard unless there's photographer on
hand to make II group picture Of it.
If work can be recognized so it looks
like a game they vii, be industrious
enough, otherwise they strike and send
communications TO the newspapers eX-
planning that no woman should permit
herself to be a drudge.
"One abIe-boded man will destroy
, more dandelions in half a day than is

themselves with japanese fans, and
try to look like so many Mary Ander-
sons, ana wish there was somebody
around to set them to music.
women are becoming more and
more an expensive luxury since they
organized themselves into clubs. / have
nothing to say against the club idea in
itself, Mrs. JameSWorthy | want to
see the females have as good a time
as they can. within reasonable limits.
The men belong to clubs and lodges,
too, but they have halls in which to
hold their meetings.
"The women wouldn't enjoy holding
a meeting in a hall. They have TO as
semble in the horne of one of their suf-
fering sisters, so they can size up the
furniture and fittings, and be able to
say, when they go away, that they
never saw such execrable taste. And
the suffering sister sees that her home
is a frost, and she makes up her mind
TO give her heart-siCk husband no rest
until he has chartered a string Of
painters and paper-hangers, decorators
and glaziers.
'But this isn't the worst Of it. The
suffering sister who entertains the club
is expected to set up refreshments, and
she feels it her duty, as a good sport
to furnish the best the market affords.
The last time the ladies' of the Busy
Bunch club met at this house you
