Fertilizers Effect =
Earliness of Crops
Better Than Manure Alone
for Garden Truck.

prepared BY the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A combination of manure and COM
mercial fertilizer Is better for pro-
duction Of market garden crops than
very heavy applications of stable
manure alone. as conclusively shown
by experiments at the Rhode Island
experiment station. These expert
ments, reported In Bulletin No 1876,
have been carried on for several years
for the purpose Of finding a suitable
substitute for the diminishing supply
Of stable manure In or near cities and
towns. -,
AS an average for six years the
Rhode Island tests show that the
manure and commercial fertilizer
combination produced AZ per cent
more cabbage, 60 per cent more beets,
35 per cent more ripe tomatoes (67
per cent more ripe In first six pick.
ings), 80 per cent more spinach, 40
per cent more lettuce and ID per cent
more celery.
In the Rhode Island tests, as In
similar tests elsewhere the effect OF
fertilizers on quality and earliness
has been shown to be very appreciate
often as valuable as the increase
In yield itself. This is especially
true with tomatoes and other market
garden crops which command a very
high price in the earlier days of their
market season. .
People living In or near cities who
have bemoaned the shortage of stable
manure can take renewed hope and
interest In their gardens, whether for
home or commercial use, in this knowl-
edge that at least a half Of the usual
manure treatment can be proftably
replaced with commercial plant food
with probable increase In yields, i'm
provement in quality and earlier bear

Parish church. Taking as the theme
Of his address the pursuit of excel
lence, President Stills stated that on
all sides and in all walks of life
there is an extraordinary amount Of
slovenly work. 1.-THE trouble with

on high pay and short hours, but
that it puts a premium on mediocirty
and lack of initiative"
Speaking in regard to the Chris
tian religion. President Stills said
that today one of it's characteristics
is that there is grave danger of
it being overlooked, that it's aim is
nothing less than perfection, and
that In religion, as in so many other
phases of life, we are content with
getting by. 1.-THE pursuit of excel
lence brings together the two great
forces that are the salvation of any
nation in any age-education and re-
ligion. AS the church holds before
men standard of perfection impos-
sible to attain but entirely possible
to strive for. so the college sets up
Its ideals, knowing that they cam

in following them her sons will not
go far astray. Failure to under
stand this great function of the
church and college alike Is one of
the reasons for much Of the unfair
criticism which both of these insti-
buttons are today receiving. In the
main, the American church and the
American college are doing their
work fully as well as any other hui

as much to the welfare of the Amer
