rnospnorus The Ke.y Fertilizer 'Phosphorus is the only elenient that. must- be purchâsed and re- turned: to the most common souls of the United States. Phosphorus is the key to Permnanent agriculttre on these lands,.'To maintain or increase the amount of pbosphorus in the soil makes possible thegrowth of clover (or other legumes) and the consequent, addition, of .nitrogen from the, inexhaustible'supply in the, air; and, with the addition. of decaying orgaiiic matter. cornes.the .possibility of iberating fromn the immense supplies in .the soil sufficient. potassium, magnes- ium, and other essential abundant elements . . . for the produc- tion of large crops at least for thousands of.years; wherea.5, if th.e. supply of phosphorus in the soul is steadilydecreased in the future, in. accordance with the past and pres- ent most cànunon farrm practire, then poverty is the only future for the people who tili the commnoni agricultural lands of the United States."

Las.t Sunday Mrs. Zander entertained. at a competitio s, andi civic enterprises. That men are inclined to make gar- Ideninz more of a hobby than women is evidenced by the fact that many of themn specialize in certain flowers, or groups of plants. This tenclency is considered to be a healthy one for the, men's garden clubtniovement, because it brings about more interestin spe- cific gardeninig problems, and less, of the social aspects s6 prevalent witb the ladies' orkanizations. Mov.ment Spreade The Chicagzo M en's Garden club, organized in 1928 by a rup -of busi- ness men, was the first of these. . It was 'quickly followed by similar eroups in Aurora, Ill., Ft. Wayne, nd','and Des Moines,.Iowa, and com- munications between jthese four clubs led to the formation of a national* organization calle'd the Men's Garden Clubs of Amnerica. Sin ce that time clubs have been formed îzn Ceveland, Olýio, NTeedham, Mass., Lancaster, Pa., Jackson, Mich.; and Wellesley Flilîs, Mass., with five others, in various sections of the country, about to become members. Prateruity of Flower Lovera "A fraternity of flower loyers, striving for perfection in the high art of gardening," is what W. B. La- throp, secretary of the organization, thinks of the work. Men of all types cialized talks by experts, and usually -a civic project is the substance of their program. The purpose of the large organîza- tioni is to co-ordinate the activities of .men's garden clubs>,iný different sec- tions of the country, and interest pub- lic attention in community planning, parks, and flower shows. A yearly convention is held to discuss such problems. Haveteren V.IWty Lawns! Let a Swaia Nelson expert mkeyobr lavas beautiftal.
