MANN'S SPEECH I found a text for a sermon I preached last Sunday in the first chapter of Gen esis, reading something like this: "Man was given dominion over eyery thing; multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it." What better motto could a farmer have? Replenish the earth and subdue it. That has always been my aim as a farmer. Bring dif­ ferent methods under your control over things that you want to control. We have multiplied, that is true. We have carried out these things pretty well. We have subdued earth pretty well and have done pretty well along that line. Statistics show that the human race is increasing twenty per cent every ten years. We have now got to replenish the earth that has been subdued. We have hardly com­ menced to study the things that will replenish the earth. Only a few years will go by when the problems of this county will keep half a dozen men busy all the time. You have different problems here than most any other place. The glacier drift here tangled up our soil, it placed certain things in one place, silt in others and we have them all separated instead of having them altogether as we should have. It has been known that manure would replenish lands. That is recognized all over. In manure there is every­ thing that any soil needs to replenish it for any kind of a crop. Manure cov­ ers everything for replenishing the land, but reasonable amounts of it do not carry enough of everything that all kinds of soil need for all kinds of crops. You men here think you know how to handle manure properly, and think you are handling it properly. However, I do not believe you are get* ting the most out of your manure over here for several reasons. I think you are not getting the most value out of it. A few days ago I got a man to acknowledge the fact. He had put on something like twenty to twenty-five tons of manure to the acre and he had got about ten more bushels of corn as a result and he was well satisfied. I told him that if he had put twenty tons of manure to the acre he should have had 200 pounds of nitrogen and he should have had fifteen more bushels to the acre and that he was actually losing seven-tenths of his money. We must know how to handle it. I will now discuss the things that are in manure in order to find out how better to use these things and what crops to use them for. In the first place, in one ton of manure there is about ten pounds of calcium, which is the thing of greatest value in lime­ stone. Now if we use manure for the ten pounds of calcium in it, it is not the best use of manure. -In four tons of manure there would be forty pounds of calcium. One hundred pounds of limestone would contain the same amount of calcium and would cost about five cents and would contain the same proportion of calcium as in four tons of manure. If we need calcium we had better buy it in the form of limestone. Another thing in manure is phos­ phate. In a ton of manure there are two pounds of phosphate or five cents worth of phosphate in a ton of ma­ nure, that is, I can buy it in the raw form for five cents, as much as I would find in a ton of manure. If manure is used to feed those plants, which re­ quire only the calcium and phosphate as their soil feed, then about six or seven cents a ton is all* We are getting for our manure. In clover and alfalfa what we want are these two minerals. The main thing in manure is nitrogen--we find about ten pounds to a ton of manure. We are feeding those crops that re­ quire this kind of food when we feed manure used as a mixed food, but not mixed in proportion as the crops want, if we' uiL the man arc for alfalfa. cr clover. Why feed nitrogen to clover or alfalfa? They get that from the soil, if inoculated. It is not an eco­ nomical use of manure. We grow these plants with the idea of their get­ ting their own nitrogen and using their nitrogen to feed the grain plants, I saw a fellow this morning, while coming down here on the train, that was pitting on at least thirty or forty tons of manure to the acre, four hun dred tons of nitrogen at one applica­ tion, and I don't suppose there will be any great amount of increase in the yield to the acre. Neither does the manure contain minerals enough for even the corn crops or the graih crops. Manure is a good balanced food for forage crops, in particular, but not for grain crops. Even for the grain plant manure is not balanced in all the things the grain plants need. Even if used for the corn, and enough is used for average purposes, too much nitrogen is being used. A better use of manure would be using the manure parts in different form. In the form of lime' stone and phosphate than even the use of manure with grain plants with the phosphorus. Phosphorus is the one thing in plant food that induces plants to want to make grain. A plant stores up this food to make grain. ' You do not get enough of phosphorus in your manure and if you would balance it with the nitrogen you would get much better returns for your manure. You cannot use it for a small grain plftnt. If you will only supplement the manure with the phosphorus, and it is a hard ques­ tion as to what amount to use. A thousand pounds of phosphorus with ten tons of manure to the acre would be, in my opinion, the right propor- >: ! •• : Sl9^*r T SOB and then use only as much manure with that as you think you can get icFfr the two or three years following. That would be the best use of manure. You cannot afford to use it for the lime stone there is in It, for the phosphate alone. Phosphorus is the thing you need to produce the grain plants. Ev erything organic must have some phos phorus and the grain plants, must be surcharged with phosphorus. The best use of manure is rather a closed book in my opinion. I don believe you understand it or how to make the best use of it. The thing to remember is that it is not available for crops until it has decomposed. You can put on too much manure and injure crops for a year. The organic part must be decomposed in time to feed the corn. Reasonable amounts of it will rot quicker in the soil than large quantities and with less interference to the crop growth. The most valu­ able thing in manure is nitrogen. You cannot keep it up in the crops grown on that land. If you grow large crops Of nitrogen and take it all off you are not building up that land in nitrogen. You can grow alfalfa on a piece of land for five years and take off each and every crop and yet build up the# nitrogen in that land. A large part of the success depend­ ent on the success of the farmer is in growing clover in any line of farming business, whether you are growing oats, corn, barley, wheat or raising any kind of live stock. You can grow two tons of clover on land that will grow forty tons of corn to the acre, and perhaps as high as four tons. Where there is no phosphate, there is no clover the same season or same year. I believe that when you study clover it will work very easily and if you prepare your soils rich enough in those minerals required you need not fear a failure of clover or any of those kinds of crops.

ATKINS' TALK E*«IatiM *f tha Farm and tha Farmar Chairman, ladies and gentlemen: It seems that along this time of the year we get together on different occasions with the view of bettering conditions on the farm. Two weeks ago in Kan­ kakee county the Soil Improvement association had a meeting, banquet and a large number were present from all parts of the county to get together and talk over matters pertaining to the farm. Last week I travelled a thous­ and miles to North Dakota to talk to soil associations there and during the past month have been to a number of places in our own state and the various organizations have in mind the matter of "The Betterment of Agriculture." When we think back over the his­ tory of agriculture and look over con­ ditions in Illinois, and as I came up here yesterday on the train, thru some of the best agricultural sections in the country, I thought of a great many things pertaining to the evolution of the farm and farmer. Some of our farmers are pioneer set­ tlers and some are descendants. In the East away back in the early history they landed on the eastern seaboard. The problems then confronting them were different than those confronting us today. The farmer of the future and the man who is receiving his train­ ing now has altogether a different problem to solve from what the pioneer settler had when he came here. Of course, in our early history we had fewer people and we had the virgin soil, yet they had a more disagreeable problem than we hive today. Of course a great many of our old fellows like to boast of their early accomplish­ ments and the hardships they endured, but I sometimes stop and think and wonder whether all the credit is due to the pioneer farmer of Illinois or not for the development that has taken place in this state. We should think more of the hardships endured by our pioneer mothers and of consitious they met with in leaving their more com­ fortable homes and traveling west in prairie schooners and building cabins on the prairies of Illinois. When we think of the future problems confront­ ing us we can rest assured that the future of American agriculture has the help and assistance of the daugh­ ter of lUesc same rccolute mc'.hors and they will solve the problems the same as the pioneers did. The development of American agri­ culture has not taken place in a single day, as population increased the re­ sponsibility became greater. When the farmer prospered and was happy everyone else was happy and every­ body prospered. As more and more of this country has been developed the population has grown more, there are more people to feed and agriculture has at all times met this increased de­ mand. In order to continue to do so we cannot pursue the same methods pursued in the early days. You can­ not compete with old methods of pion­ eer days with modern methods. When mowing machines first came on the market a cry went up from the laborers,' what would the laboring fel­ lows do should all the farmers buy mowing machines. The same was tru^ of the binder. The farmer would not require labor hands any more and what would they do for work? The word went out that the self binder would put the laboring fellows oiut of business and everyone criticized the farmers for buying labor-saving machines, fearing that the country would be overrun with laboring people out of work. They never stopped to consider the increased population and the increased amount of food required to feed this increased population. After the bin­ ders came into practical use the wheat and oat fields of the great northwest were developed and it ia now a fact that we can hardly get hands enough to shock the bundles during harvest time. In solving cur future problem we must think of the past problems and how they have been met. In the East fields were devastated by working them out, then the farmers would move West to devastate new land;--now we have the probleiii of taking care of this land so as to take care of the future generation and save the soil. All the people must bear the expense of experimentation. We must continue these experiments and find out how this can be done in the most practical manner and put these meth­ ods into practice. The government must continue appropriating money and the various states must continue to do so and conduct experiments and find out how future generations for all time to come can take care of the soil problem, Yet we have a great num­ ber of people who mock us. A great many people have referred to those ifi charge of the experiment stations as book farmers. Until recent years in the Illinois legislature very few of us realized what this meant for the future farmer. They said in central Illinois that the black soil would never run out, but the time must come there when we find something has got to be done. Today the farmers are begin­ ning to look around and many have come to the conclusion that we have got to avail ourselves of the modern ideas or our farms will be devastated like those in the'East. lu the pioneer days they knew nothing but to clear the timber away, clean it up and wear the land out. When I go back to my old home in Ohio and find an even small population on the farms than when I left there'thirty years ago it sets me to thinking. Now they have to use commercial fertilizer in plant­ ing every crop. A great many of you men have observed the work of the University of Illinois at their farm ex­ periment stations. The first tile laid down in my vicinity brought forth a storiu of ridicule. People said they were burying money in the ground where they would never get it out again. I remember the first drainage district that was put thru and if the farm owners had had a leader they would have hung the leader of the dis­ trict commissioners. They put thru a ditch sixty feet wide and forty feet deep and after it was completed every­ body was glad. A few years ago very lew people had any use for the agri­ cultural school at Champaign and not until more recent years did people place any credit in the small school and it was very hard to get any appro­ priations from the legislature to main­ tain it. One time the legislators made a visit to the school to find out what was being done with the money they were annually appropriating to main­ tain it. There they saw one small piece of land that has beed planted in corn steady for twenty-eight years, and for the last ten years had produced an average yield of about eighteen bushels to the acre. Then they showed us other pieces where rotations of crops had taken place. There they saw and realized what applied to those same fields continuously cropped for twenty-eight years applied to every farm in our fair state. Then the legis­ lators came back to Springfield en­ thused wi^h the work of this small ex­ periment station and they were in­ fluenced and learned that they had not been paying money out for nothing. Nowadays the farmer wfao reads the bulletins sent out from the State Agri­ cultural school and follows them grows better crops than his neighbor and then the neighbor leans over the fence and finds out what his neighbor did to grow such good crops and he follows the same method the next year, and so it is that the farming public in general is greatly, .benefited by the money an­ nually appropriated for carrying on this work. I was an exhibitor at the first Live Stock Expositon held in Chicago. The agricultural school at Champaign took off first prize on some cattle they ex­ hibited, then a cry went up from other exhibitors because the agricultural school had carried off the prize. Now the farmer is sending his son to the agricultural schools at Champaign, Ames and other places and the boys are bringing back this stored up in­ formation and are applying it, and are raising better stock and growing better crops. Now the farmer takes notice of these facts and in this way has pop­ ularized the school. At the present time there is no class of citizens that goes out as a body and opposes the ap­ propriations for the agricultural schools. Everyone realizes future con­ ditions, and the increased population to be fed in future years. * The first problem in the devolopment of agriculture in our state has been solved by the best men in the country; not the sissy boy who came West solved the problem, but the courageous boys of the East were the ones who developed this country. Our present boys are the future pioneers in the de­ velopment of the future farm, and they have a more coniplex problem than in the past when the development stage was going on. I remember when a little boy baok in Ohio of meeting a moving wagon coming b»ck frpm Illinois. They stopped and after the usual greeting my father said, MWhat brought you back so soon, aint that a good place to live?" Then they told how swampy it was, how much malaria and that a poor man in Illinois had about as much show at making a living as a cat in hell without claws. That was ray first impression of Illinois. We now have the descendants of the fellows who stuck to look after the future problems; we should congratu­ late ourselvesonour present prospect?. "Jim Hill, the Empire Builder," is begging the men of the great North­ west to do something for the soil arid he is bewailing the impoverishment of the soil. All you have to do is to go into qummunities where they have neglected to treat the soil and care for it as in the great Northwest and vou have the lesson for us to take advan­ tage of ourselves by putting back what we take out of the soil evi-rv year. The farmers there would starve if they did not have such lar^e farms, There has never been a railroad built but what there were objections to it, never a school house built or a high, school erected but what there were objections. For everything done for the public benefit there is always an objector with plenty of objections. Applying the same thought to the^oil You may get by now, but it is your posterity that may suffer as a result of your neglect. We now have a ver\ few knockers down in Kankakee county, but we used to have lots of them. Now we have devoted a great amount of energy and lots of money to advance- agriculture. Since 1863 from a popu­ lation of a little over thirty million, we now have over a hundred millio.i, which necessarily means we must hswe increased production A m*m!>«r of the appropriations coin in ii tee of the house this last week stat« d to me -that the only way to decrease the cost ol living was to get the farmer to double his production. They talk of the cost of living and talk of the fabulous sums that our crops amount to each year, and it has been intimated in all the articles on the cost of living that the farmer is getting too rich, they sever say t hat one hundred percent lias been added on to his cost of production, they never say the fanners get 1>ut one-half of all this. Organizations of this kind have got to take up these problems and have got to consid< r them along with the improvement of the soil. The solution of the problem lies in having these farmers cultivate their fields wisely and produce more and more, that is the solution of the cost of living. We have nothing to say of the cost of all of this, we are selling everything at wholesale and buying everything at retail, we havn't any­ thing to say about what we get or what we sell or what we pay for things we buy. The great problem is our economical problem of increased population. First of all we will educate, that has been the first care of our population. We have got to feed them and econ< * mize in su(^i a manner that their income will be sufficient so they can buy the necessities of life. The pres­ ent system of the city people is everything manufactured and the r( * suit is the popple now require too great a service. If you farmers spent as much money for luxuries for your" business or for your fireside you would* not be able to have your farms today. Too many people get a whack at your commodities from the time you sell them to the time you get them baok in manufactured form. There are too many profits to pay for in order to pay for the present day service required. All other lines of industry organize to protect themselves against others, but where have we ever got together and organized ourselves to prot-eot our rights against the in­ fringements of others? One of the problems will be how the distributing will be carried on. If the general public demands such service they must pay the bill, If they insist that we take a smaller prioe we must get to­ gether and stop them. Everyone else demands a higher service rendered them than we do and to do this have our wives got to go out in the field and work a little harder so that we can take a smaller price in order that others may have this great service continued and keep up this distributing*)* We want a service rendered our own fireside. We cannot eliminate the middle-man. Let us find out the cause of the bread line in the large citie.'* The cause is not growing out of the fact that we are getting too much for our farming operations. All we ask is a fair chance with the rest of the commercial woijd, we are willing to ferret out all problems to perpetuate the soil for the coming generations, we continue to do so from year to year, to investigate andapply methods continu­ ously, then take up distributing pro­ blems and tolye them for the welfare of all.

Larger Milk Checks LESS FEE!! Smaller Feed Bills Arcady Farm Dairy Feeds are practical feeds developed for economical milk production upon the modern, up-to-date, suc­ cessful Arcady farms where every pound of milk and every pound of feed is checked--pound for pound and dollar for dollar. Arcady Farms consist of over 2200 acres and over 550 head of cows and heifers. They attribute their success chiefly to their feed, which produces the mpst milk for the least money. Arcady Farm Feed is composed of Dried Brewers' Grains, Malt Sprouts, Cottonseed Meal, Grains and Grain Products, Cane Molasses and Salt. Arcady cows have had no other grain ration for over two years. The average ration for the herd is as follows: 12 to 14 lb*. Arcady Dairy Feed, 10 to 12 lb*. Alfalfa Hay, 30 lbs. ensilage--No pasture. On this ration the main herd produced an average of about 32 pounds of milk per day during July, Just figure the cost of milk production with the above ration and compare it with your present ration (using market prices in figuring your grains). Then stop in for a load of Arcady Dairy Feed and start increasing your profits at,9Qce. WILBUR LUMBER CO.
