We have an account of a farm er who thought lie was fertilizing for a good crop of wheat, but he got only three and one-half bushels to four bushels to the acre. He was in utter darkness I about the whole matter. He knew neither the soil nor how to meet the shortage. This is an enlightening com ment on the difficulty: “The soil worked and fertilized at the rate of about 200 pounds of complete fertilizer per acre, was devoid of humus, without which no soil will be productive. If a soil is well supplied with humus, it will not be necessary to purchase nitrogen in commercial fertilizer. So he was paying for nitrogen at the rate of 25 to 80 cents per pound, when he should have been getting it from the air through the grow ing of leguminous crops. The soil contained sufficient potash, so he was paying for potash in the fertilizer when it produced no increased returns whatever, as shown by field t"sts. The only ingredient of a commercial ferti lizer that he need to buy was phosphoric acid to be used in grow.ng 00 wpeas or some other leguminous crop to tarnish hu mus and nitrogen. He was pay ing $25 a ton for a complete fert ilizer and getting no returns, when $lB a ton for high-grade phosphate would have given large returns had he used it in growing iegmn infills crops.” Make a note of it that “there are ten elements that, are abso lutely essential to plant growth.” If any one of these is lacking, the plant cannot use the others. If any one is deficient, the plant is not able to make a vigorous grow th. Keep the principle thus j operating well in mind when the aim is to put the soil in the right j shape for producing a crop. Give the plant the food it needs, re membering that it requires food much as an animal does.—Home and Farm, I Mr. .). A.Herrington of Berrien . county was among relatives hero - last week. 1 Ghas. A.
