To Grow The Best Crops.
Imitute Nature

With all our progress in fertilizing
methods, we have not yet learned how
to fertilize an old, more or less ex
hausted soil so as to make 1t as pro-
ductive as a rich virgin soil just
taken out of the timber.
Probably it is because we have
not been able to initiate closely enough
the nitrogen compounds in the virgin
soil. These nitrogen compounds break
down slowly and supply a little MI
trogen to the crop every day, just
the way the crop needs it. Few arti-
fetal fertilizers do hat or come any
where neal doing it.
Cyanamid, however, is a nitrogen fer
tilizer which comes about the near
est to the natural way of applying
nitrogen to the crop. Applied be-
fore planting, it starts to break down
and decomposes in the soil about the
way the natural nitrogen compounds
Of the soil do; and 1t supplies available
nitrogen to the crop as o a. the
crop IA use it, and right on through
put the season.. II hits the middle
ground between those nitrogen fer
~tilizers which are too available and
soluble-and hence likely to be wash
ed out by a good rain-and those
which are not available enough. Be-
cause of these special characteristics,
it has becorae the leading NITROGEN
fertilizer in the Delta, and is used
extensively wherever cotton and corn
are grown.
The standard and by all e the
best way to use cyanamid is Z, rr-'v
it in the lay-off furrow, mix it with
the soil, and bed on it 2 weeks or
more before planting. This gives it
time to develop plenty of available
nitrogen by the time the crop needs
it. There need be no fear that the
nitrogen will wash out Of the soil and
be lost, because cyanamid ~decomposes
SO steadily that it hoes not build up
an excessive supply of nitrogen in a
form subject to loss at any n time,

appetizing as those planned for luncheon.
 That result can be had with out greatly increasing the amount of food served at breakfast. for we no longer indulge in heavy morning meals. We may add substantially to the breakfast menu by including a portion of some dain- ty jam or marmalade, to be eaten with the hot buttered toast or muf- fins or pancakes. There is pleasure to be derived from the fruit flavor or good preserves, and the sugar they contain is both stimulating and helpful to digestion.
 If you are serving sausages and wish a substitute for fried apples, which take some time prepare, re- member that tart preserves such as gooseberry, wild plum, or currant conserve will make an excellent ac- compartment. They are also good with grilled ham or bacon.
 The chief, as you know, does extraordinary things with crepes or pancakes often, by their dressing, rendering them elabor- ate enough to use as dessert. Jellies and jams make an ap- petizing addition to the buttered pancakes and even so simple a dressing as one made of butter worked with sugar and bit of fla- voring will give the plain pancake a character.
 Usually these cakes are made thin; spread with butter and jam or with
