Fertilizers Should Not
Be Used as Suhstituta

FERTILIZERS should be employed In
addition to and not In place of other
good soil-management Practices" says
iror. A. t. Wiancko Of the Purdue
experiment station. "Legumes in the
rotation, the use of manure or other
organic matter, drainage and lining
where needed are all %perquisites to
the o satisfactory use of f~ertiliz-
ers."
Results Of a longtime experiment
on a corn-wheat-clover rotation ut the
Purdue station illustrates this point.
The treatment and results were as
follows:
Plot 1-Limed 1912 and 1920. six
tons on corn crop, 1872 bushels
wheat per acre.
Plot Same as plot 1 with 200
pounds per acre acid phosphate on
corn crop, POS bushels wheat per acre.
Plot Same as plot 2 with 200
pounds per acre 2-s-4 on wheat crop,
26.1 bushels wheat per acre.
The significant thing about these
results is that in plot 3, the combina.
ton of n good rotation, legumes, lime
and produced conditions re-
sulting in large returns from the use
of a suitable complete fertilizer. In
other words, as shown by plot l, the
rotation, legumes, lime and manure
produced a favorable condition but
compared to the others a small crop.
The addition Of complete fertilizer on
plot 3 was all that was needed to
push the crop into a new field OF
profits.

Self-Feeders for Swine
Fattening Reduce Cost

Wherever labor car be saved on the
farm and results accomplished just as
satisfactorily, by all means save the
labor. Results of experiments Mt the
University OF Missouri College of Agri-
culture with self-feeders for ~fattening
hogs show that those eating from "A
self-feeder gain more rapidly than
those depending on the hand-feedlng
methods. The amount Of feed neces-
snry to produce a pound of pork re-

is this decrease in labor which enters
as n factor in cheapening the cost Of

Home Owners Can Save

on Top Of Old.

Home owners planning to repair

ment issued yesterday by J. M. Ber-
dan, general manager of the build
ing materials department of Johns.

United States, said Berdan, mot
quite 5,250.OOO still have wooden
roofs. OF these wooden roofs, our
field agents report that nearly a
million are in need Of repair, on &C.
count Of the fact that many OF
these repair jobs have been long
deferred. Upon how the owners *
these roofs go about Having the
work done, particularly In the midst
Of the greatest building boom since
1909, will depend the expenditure OF
saving of large sum of money.
The conventional method, in
giving house with shingles new
roof, is to, rip off the old shin gles,
and to lay the new roof on the old
Turing strips. This means n1ussiug
up lawns and slrubbery. filling the
upper floors of the house with dirt
and dust, and running the chance
OF getting caught IN q sudden storm
with no roof On the house. In ad-
dition, of course, Is the cost Of the
labor for ripping off the shingles.
These risks and expenses can
be avoided by laying the new roof
right over the old shingles. What,
