When he has made his harvest he

he may stand loss on his years op-

SULPHUR AS A FERTILIZER
CAN NOT BE EQUALED

Quoting from THE Chemistry of
Plant Life by Roscoe w. Thatcher,
NJ. A. D. Agr., Dean of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, University of
Minnesota.
Sulphur is an essential element of
plant food The amounts required by
plants were supposed, until recently,
to be relatively small. This was due
to the fact that earlier studies took
account only of the sulphur, which,
on analysis, appeared as sulphates in
the ash. Improved methods of analy-
sis, which insure that the sulphur
which is present in the plant tissue
in organic combinations is oxidized
under such conditions that it is not
lost by volatilization during the com.
bustion of the material. have shown
that the total sulphur which is pres
ent in many plants approaches the
quantity of phosphorus which is pres
ent in the same tissue. Furthermore,
recent field and pot experiments have
shown that at least a considerable
part of the beneficial effects of many
iSt - winch htS previously Deeu
attributed to the calcium, potassium.
or phosphorus which they contain, is
actually due to the sulphur present
as sulphates in the fertilizers used.
Sulphur occurs in the organic COM
pounds of plants, associated with
phosphorus. 1t seems probable that
its physiological uses are similar to
those of the latter element; but there
is as yet no experimental evidence to
establish its exact role in the econ
omy of plant growing. 1t appears to
be needed in largest proportion by
plants which contain hig percentages
of nitrogen in their foliage, such as
the legumes. There is some evidence
that sulphur has a particular role in
promoting the growth of bacteria, and
it may be that the high percentages of
total sulphur which are found in the
tissues of legumes are due to the
presence of the symbolic nitrogen
gathering bacteria in the nodules on
the roots of these plants This point
has not yet been investigated. how
ever.

spoiled by conditions beyond his con-
troll. If his plant did turn out mark
etable automobiles he would sell them
for whatever automobiles happened to
be bringing at that time, then go
home and do some figuring to see
whether he made a profit or suffer
ed loss from his years effort. He
would be doing the widest kind of
gambling, and just so, thousands of
our farmers are speculating every
year. They are gamblers rather than
business men. And this gambling is
the curse of the farming industry
A certain amount of speculation is
necessary in farming but the risk TAX
ing might just as well be done in
of the country has a good crop and it
sells for good prices. The next year
every farmer rushes in and increases
his acreage. An over supply results
and the market is depressed. Shrewd
spectators in Wall Street say that
the crowd is always wrong and they
proceed accordingly. The same rule
might be of benefit to the farmer if
there were no other way to safeguard
against speculative losses. AS it hap
pens the farmer can solve his prob
lem by applying the law of averages.
General farm prices fluctuate to be
sure but the range is not so wide as
that of individual crops. Instead of
on one crop and taking
chances on growing conditions and

farmer grows several crops. He
spreads his attention to several kinds
of grains, livestock, and perhaps
truck farming and fruit. AS a result
he always has something to market
at good price and his average in

high as that of the lucky speculator,
but over period of years his income
is much better The answer to our

ing of which is a re-

the estimated number being 54.234,-

estimated to be 39,134 900, or an in
crease of 2.2T6; and milk cows, 25,-
$4,000, or 2.2fs above the previous
year. Among the causes of these
livestock reductions are the unusually
large number Of hogs on the farms
year ago, the poor corn crop, which
reduces the number of hogs and cat
tie which can be fattened; drought
in the range states, especially west
of the Rocky mountains, causing a
general reduction of livestock in that
section; low prices for beef cattle as
compared either with dairy products,
or with mutton and wool; and con-
tinued low prices for horses and
mules, which have caused a further
reduction in the number of colts
raised. The increasing number of
automobiles, trucks. and tractors has
undoubtedly had its influence. The
