piece of poetry we would like for you to
print about "Others:'
Lord, help me to live from day to day
In such a forgotten way
That, even when l kneel to pray,
My prayer shall be for-others.
Help me in all the work do
To ever be sincere and true,
And know that all Id do for you
Must needs be done for-others.
Let "self" be crucified and slain
And buried deep and all in vain
May efforts be to rise again,
Unless to live for-others.
| And when my work on earth Is done,
And my new work in heavens begun,
May l forget the crown I've won
| While thinking still of-others,
others, Lord, yes. othersl
! Let this my motto be;
| Help me to live for others,
That l may live like Thee.

pounds nitrate, and 100 pounds phos-

and potash are the most deficient ele-
ments of plant food in soil where these
experiments were conducted. and all
fertilizers used should run high in these
important elements,
AS a matter of fact, nitrate of soda
gave the largest increase per acre and
the most profitable returns. 1t seems,
therefore, that Delta planters are justi-
fed in using this material exclusively.
However. we must recognize the fact
that these are the results Of only one

come the residual effect of these apple
