3-ton crop Of alfalfa takes from
the soil IS pounds Of phosphoric
acid and 1876 pounds Of potash, on
the average. Most Of the nitrogen
in alfalfa and the other legumes
comes from the air. In tia case
Of non-legumes, most Of the nitro
gen a. well as all the phosphate
and potash comes from the soil
supply.
Part Of the nutrients in some
crops Is returned to the soil when
the unharvested portion Of the
plant Is plowed under, but with
other crops, almost all the nutri-
ents are removed in the harvest.
It is clear that unless they are
returned in some way, the soil
supply will soon be exhausted. II

prediti Peak
Year in State
Milk Produce

LANSING - Milk production
in Michigan is apparently head
ed for an all-time high during
l94l, with pasture conditions
reported good according to the
state agricultural department.
While this peak is generally
reached in Michigan during the
first week in June, it no doubt,
will be a week or ten days
earlier this year. The Michigan
producers stand to benefit con-
siderably by an increased price
in butterfat. Chicago butter is
now quoted at SAC, or 7c above
quotations a year ago. This will
mean considerable increase in
the price paid farmers for cream
during the peak of production
and will result in considerable
increase in the yearly returns to
producers.
The Federal government has
announced that funds from the
Lend-Lease Act have de, grated
for the purchase of butter in the
open market to support long
term price of at least Sic per
pound, or an average of 2.3c'
above the price throughout the
year 1910.
With the increase In butter
prices consumers will become
more critical of the quality of
butter used. Producers are ad-
vised to take extra precautions
in cooling milk and cream and
delivering it in good condition.
Buyers of cream and manufac-
turers are to be checked to de-
termine the quality of cream
they are receiving and using in
the manufacturer of butter While
is rather favorably
located as to climate and las an
supply of cold water
for properly cooling milk and
cream, there have been in
stances in the past of cream be-
ing held too long at high tenn
peratures by the buyers. During
the hot weather it is necessary
to collect all cream from buying
stations at least every other day
and on farm routes twice a
week.

How Msch Plant Feed
IL Used ~ Cr0ps3

Many farmers have asked, Why
more fertilizer seems 70 b needed
to grow profitable crops than used
to be the case. Recently compiled
data on the plant food contained
in important crops answers the
question. After looking over these
figures, it il easy to 80 that good
yields Of crops contain large guam
titles Of nitrogen, phosphoric acid,
and potash. Fertile soils under
natural conditions accumulate
considerable quantities Of the
above nutrients in svailable form.
When farming 10 started, these
supplies feed the crop, and good
yields are obtained. A. the crop
ping is continued, these supplies
are gradually reduced, and yields
begin to drop accordingly.
Sooner or later, depending on
the natural fertility Of the soil,
the point is reached where salts.
factory yields of crops no longer
can be obtained. The trouble
usually is not caused BY al the
nutrients becoming depleted At the
same time. Since most Of the
soils in North America are low in
their natural supply Of phosphate,
this nutrient usually becomes the
first limiting factor, even though
crops do not remove much Of it.
On some soils, nitrogen may be
the first to become deficient, while
on others, especially peats and
mucks, it is potash. Since phos-
plate is usually the first to be-
come depleted, it Il the first fer
tilizer added. This may step up
yields for . while, but they will
decrease again due to . diminish
ing supply Of some other nutrient,
and this may be nitrogen or potash
or both. Other factors, such as
soil acidity, secondary nutrients,
or diseases, may also enter into
the picture and must be taken
care Of if good crops are to be
maintained.
Since the three nutrients, nitro
gen, phosphoric acid, and potash,
are those most commonly lacking
in the soil, the amounts Of these
contained in good yields Of prin-
cipal crops have been given special
consideration and are shown in
the table below.

Woodlot management, land

One of the last masterpieces of a great

He did not 60 to school. He hunted He
fished. He slept sometimes in Frank Harveys
livery barn, sometimes even in house.
Someone in the town would take him in for a
meal and for night.
He managed to live. He went about He
was always wearing some larger persons cast
off clothes. the legs and arms of the pants and
coat rolled up, but he was free soul. He ran
no errands. No one said to him, do this, do
that" He did as he pleased
And he was, as was, eager to make money.
He wanted it to buy powder and shot for
muzzle-loading shotgun he had in some way
acquired. to improve his fishing equipment
to buy food
As was the one who had devised our play,
naturally chose for myself the hero's part.
We did our rehearsing on the lawn before
the warehouse when there was no one about
We were two desperate bad men of the Far
West. On fine afternoons, when the north
bound train had to wait and the passengers
were walking up and down, we emerged from
behind the freight cars by the grain-elevator
wall, he from behind one car and from an
other. We walked slowly toward each other
We were both armed. We had whitfield out
our notion of bowie knives from sticks of
wood and had them stuck in our pant tops
And now Toughy recognizes me, his NOR
tai enemy. walking toward him across the
lawn.

and are prepared to rush upon each other
We are beginning to get the attention of our
audience. They stop walking up and down
They stand watching.

would you? Come on. If you have courage,
show it now"
And now we have sprung upon each other.
We struggle desperately. We pant and groan
until we have become quite sure of the alb
sorbed attention of our audience: then, with
a skillful movement of my arm and hand, /
suddenly disarm him. send his knife flying
away on the grass and while he is still half
stunned by my amazing display of skill,
pounce upon his knife.
And now am in possession of both weap-
ons have him at my mercy. And he, realiz-

me.
But he is no coward. He stands there and
defes me.
80, you would attack an unarmed man,

But am also no coward. am true man
and there is noble heart beating in my
breast Holding the two knives in my open
hand now approach him.

But what is this evil look that now comes
into the eyes of Toughy? He is gazing at the
weapons in my open hands. Suddenly with a
catlike spring he leaps forward and snatches
both of the weapons. He does not hesitate.
In his eyes there is the gleam of the killer.
In possession of both of the weapons he now
leaps upon me. He strikes and strikes again.
He stabs me to the heart, and falling upon the
grass expire in agony while Toughy, cap
in hand, runs among the passengers gathering
nickels and dimes.
