Dear' editor--Referring to the "hot air" letter of Mr Stewart Corner I'd like to say I do not like to open a con- troversy -about the Shadow, since I believe the Substance should have our first consideration. Mr Corner has only brought another example that "We cannot force people to accept heaven if they want to stay in hades, especial- ly the farmers." For Mr Corner's comfort I might remark that people in Waldhof do not claim to be any better than the rest. But since this substance--the co-oper- ative principle--is a very wide and thoughtful field for cultivation, I in- vite Mr Corner to an open debate to { permit him to show where the 'hot air' comes in. And I believe we might be able to get a little education out of it. Yours truly-- P. J. SCHOONENBERG. J. B.

Cook, Agricultural Rep. » The use of fertilizers on the average' farm is as yet in the experimental stage, and in the newer districts has only been tried out in a very limited way, owing to the fact that the new virgin soil is usually plentifully | supplied with a sufficient amount of, readily available plant food material, | and good crops can be grown with the aid of what little barnyard manure may be at hand. However, this state of affairs cannot go on indefinitely, oy the soil in time becomes robbed of its! organic content, the crops keep getting poorer, and the farmer soon has a run ! down farm. There are plenty of, instances of this on our Western Prairies, where crops have been re- moved year after year and nothing being returned to the soil, the result is that very little but weeds will grow, | whereas, if we look to the Old Coun-' tries where the fields have been cropp-! ed for centuries, we find that their yields per acre are mot getting less, and in many instances are increasing, : due to the proper use of Commercial Fertilizers. The use of Commercial Fertilizers in this country has been abused through lack-of knowledge on the part of the purchaser. In selecting a Fertilizer to use on a crop, the farmer was "led by the nose," think- ing that the greater the odor, the bigger the crop would be, and sales- men were quick to take advantage of this, because' our highest priced Fertilizers have little or no odor, and a much poorer and cheaper grade could be disposed of, the result being that the expected results did not show up at harvest time, and from then on the farmer would be a confirmed dis- believer in the use of Fertilizers. In selecting a Fertilizer, the first thing to be considered is what kind of a crop are we going to grow, the nature and amount of plant food in the soil, also the previous crop. For example, a Fertilizer containing a high percentage of Nitrogen, would not be necessary for a crop of potatoes that: was to be planted on a clover sod,, because of the fact that clover is al nitrogen gathering plant, and leaves: the soil with a sufficient supply to pro-i duce an average farm crop. Chemists inform us that there are fifteen elements in the study of soil fertility that are found in plants, and of these ten are essential to plant life. Of these ten elements, only three are found to be lacking in, the soil, and must be replaced from time to time, by means of Commercial Fertilizers, barnyard manure, or the} ploughing in of other organic matter such as clover or other green manures. The three elements that the plants draw on most freely and usually are deficient in soils are Phosphorous, and Potash. Briefly the function of these fertilizing ingredients are as follows: -- Nitrogen promotes the growth of stem and leaf, gives the crop a good, healthy appearance, and causes rapid vigorous growth, delays ripening of the crop. Only a trace. in earth surface sufficient for two crops. Phosphorous, chiefly influences root development in the early stages, and the seed formation in the final stages of development and maturing. Phos- phorous accumuates in the cmoncent- rated products of the farm, such as bone, flesh, and seed. These are products that are being continually sold from the farm and should be con- tinually replaced by means of fertiliz- ers rich in Phosphorous. Barnyard manure is usually quite deficient in Phosphorous, due to the fact that Phosphorous is 86-p.c. soluble in water and the manure pile being exposed to the weather, the Phosphorous contents are continually being leached away. In every 100 pounds of bone there is 10 p.c. Phosphorous. One ton Bran contains 24 pounds or 1.22 p.c. Phos- phorous. The effect of Phosphorous on a plant is not so marked as that of Nitrogen. Best results are obtained by using on clay soils. Amount in earth's sunface 11 p.c. Potash is essential to the formation of Carbohydrates, which comprise the starches of potatoes and grain, the sugars of fruits and vegetables and fibrous matter in leaves and stems, grains and plants. Where there is a deficient quantity of this element in the soil, the leaves of plants show a low, dull colour, die early at tip. This often happens in the case of potatoes, as this crop requires large aount of potash for the formation of starch in the tubers. Potash is readily soluble in water, and leaches away quite readily. Peaty and muck soils are especially low in potash yield of most any: : Nitrogen, § content. Shower for Bride EXER Miss Eva Bartlett, a bride-elect of next month, was the guest of honour at a miscellaneous Shower Tuesday night, at which Miss Aldra Smith en- tertained. A handkerchief Shower for Miss Kathleen Hartnett, who is "leaving for Montreal, was incidentally | celebrated on the same occasion. A large and joyous gathering were present, to extend felicitations and to demonstrate the esteem in which these two popular young ladies are held. Later in the evening the party ad- journed to-the mill hall, where an enjoyable dance was kept up till two a.m., music being supplied by the orchestra. A very happy gathering indeed, was the general sentiment. xX ¥ x 'The presence of a great crowd of well-wishers at the train to bid fare- well to Miss Kathleen Hartnett yester- day afternoon, spoke volumes for her capacity for making friends. Follow- ing her three years service on the staff of Dryden Paper Co. she left for Montreal to take a position as 'steno- grapher in that city.

Probably the best plan will be to summarise the lives of the chief characters in the period covered. Note each hero's chief con- tributions to history, and indicate the main lessons we can learn from his career, We may thus consmider the life of Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses Caleb, Joshua, Gideon, Samuel, David, and Solomon. Figures show that 3,345 new mem- bers joined the Protestant Church of North America every day' of 1922. Every day during that year 41' new preachers were ordained or licensed, and every day 21 new churches were organized. In the same year $505,- 000,000 was spent for religious work.
