Sometimes with a heavy fertilizer] application there is a tendency to! drop the priece of potato vight on‘ top of the fertilizer. This is not good practice. Modern notat> p‘antâ€", First, fertilizers are carriers of available plantfood which becomes available as quickly as it comes in contact with sufficient soil moisture to dissolve it. l The underlying ideas to keep in riind when considering methods of application are:â€" How to Fertilize.â€"At this time the soil in many parts of the country is being disked and harrowed, and the seeding of spring grains is being rushed. Shortly the planting of corn, potatoes and other hoed crops will follow. The addition of available plantfood in the form of fertilizers has been made to grain either by broadcasting the fertilizer as you. would lime before the last harrowing, or by applying it through the fertilâ€" izer drilling compartment of the grain drill. | afre where the extra cultivations »Were carried on. While there was a slight gain, it was made at considerâ€" able cost, in fact such a cost as would render the practice unprofitable. In advising corn cultivation the Indiana Station says, "As to the depth of cultivation it seems *dvisâ€" able under ordinary conditions to cultivate deep the first time and then go a little shallower each time until the third cultivation is reached, after which it should be as shallow as possible, in order to prevent injury to the roots." As to the number of cultivations the Indiana Station says that as an average of four years test gix cultivations gave the best results.‘ ‘CSUIts obtained by three reliable experiment stations. The Ontario Agricultural College in 1902, 1903 and 1904, conducted a cultivation test with corn, and pubâ€" lished their findings as follows: 1. Deep cultivation growing shallower a3: the season advanced yielded 21.9 tons per acre; 2. Shallow cultivation throughout the season 21.2 tons per acre; 3. Deep cultivation throughout' the season 20.8 tons per acre; 4.! Shallow cultivation at first getting ; deeper as season advanced 20.5 tons | Per acre. This test puts a premium: on deepest cultivation early in the season, running shallower as the sea-‘ son advances. The result is oasily; understood, when you consider that the roots are the feeding parts of the plant. Deep cultivation throughout | the season and close up to the plant,|. means the pruning off of many grow-h ing roots. Thig virtually means the|| starvation of the c.op. ’l Ohio Experiment Station as msultll of 9 years test, got an increase of 4 1 bus. of grain and=21% lbs. of corn‘! stalks per acre where the cultivatiohl] was comparativel,y shallow as comâ€" d pared with deep cultivation.

They should be kept under atrict control, if the hoed crop is to do its best. Now the question arises, "Is it bet. ter to cultivate deep or shallow?" The man on heavy clay soil is inclined to favor deep cultivation, while his neighbor on medium loam or light soil thinks that deep cultivation does not prove profitable. Let us present results obtained by three reliable experiment stations. | ‘ThG COMEAHIE OA inbusKhe io m se The fundamental idea of cultiva. tion is to maintain a loose dust mulch on the surface, so as to prevent exâ€" cessive escape of soil moisture.

The main«Boint to keep in mind is the actual nature of fertilizer and to so apply it that it can dissolve readâ€" ily and be taken up by the crop. _ In the home garden or on the comâ€" paratively small potato patch on the farm, fertilizers can be satisfactorâ€" ily applied at the time that the po-, tatoes or corn or other hoed crops! are being planted.

Special Planters.â€"There are °8¢ : special ferKlizer dropping attachâ€" 1 a ments for potato planters and corn ubâ€"‘ planters, which should be of great 1.‘ interest at this time. In previous ver articles we have already shown the 1.9 value in yieldâ€"increase of fertilizing ion / crops. In some sections we find some per[ hesitancy in regard to the fertilizaâ€" ut ) tion of corn, potatoes,‘ etc., with 4./ planters, on the plea that if the| ng fertilizer is deposited in the row, it Ns | will tend to bunch the roots, and so im |localize them that the plant will have he, poor chances of surviving a continuâ€" aâ€"| ious drought. From careful investigaâ€" 1Â¥ | tion we believe this idea can be carâ€" at| ried altogether too far. While we do he not favor continuous heavy fertilizâ€" Ut ing in the row for all hoed crops, yet It,:actual experimentation has shown Yâ€"/ that there is little advantage â€" in 1¢) broadcasting fertilizer on medium \loam soils over applying it in the It! row, especially in potatoes. 'l'he[ 4 Maine Experiment Station, after‘ 'fl: careful investigation of this prob-!] '“‘lem, says that up to 1,500 lbs. ol,‘ ‘-'Afertilizer per acre can be profitably ©, applied in the row to potatoes. From ‘â€"| observation _ of extensive * potato 'f; growing practice, however, we beâ€" t 0\ lieve~that when the grower is applyâ€"| ; ~‘i ing above 600 lbs. of fertilizer per| a â€" acre, ‘he would do well to broadcast | ‘, part of the application.

This places the: plantfood in ‘close proximity to the seed, so that from the very first it may feed upon this rich strengthâ€"giving food.

John 16: 7â€"15, "It is expedient." Jesus says that if He remained with His disciples®: the Holy Spirit, the Cofâ€" forter, would not come. It was betâ€" ter that He should go away. While He remained those who believed on Him sought to be with Him and hung upon His words. ‘When He went away from them they had to act and think for themselves, but not alone, nor without His aid. For it was as though, â€" His Spirit entering into. them, each one of them became a livâ€". ing embodiment of that Spirit and went out to live the Christlike life among his fellows. Thus Christ was reproduced in thousands of lives, aan‘ is being reproduced in continually increasing numbers of those who love Him and seek to be like Him.

I made it clear at the start that nothing would be "protected." Everyâ€" thing was let go whether it brought ’fuu value or not. A crowd of shrewd farmers is quick to detect any priceâ€" _manipulating on the side, and will stop bidding, with the result that the close of the sale will see a lot of junk left on the owner‘s hands. In only one instance did I buy an articleâ€"a nearly new cream séparator upon which there was a bid of only $5. To prevent such a sacrifice I openly anâ€" nounced my own reasonable bid of $25. ‘ ESEVUTT CE OT PSpPERCC TL TR Tale l was only about $75, which I consider | reasonable for a $3,500 sale. The auctioneer was a rapid worker and finished the sale in only a little more than two hours. Another experiment I tried was selling the obvious culls among the cattle to the butcher before the sale, Culls seldom bring their beef value in a sale anyway, while their presâ€" ence detracts from the good cattle. The herd was tuberculinâ€"tested three days before the sale, thus making possible a guaranty of the health of the offering. i Of one thing I am now eonvincedâ€" billboard advertising is not essential, T had only 25 posters printed, and most of these were not posted. I deâ€" pended on a wellâ€"displayed advertiseâ€" ment in the local paper, while a wellâ€" printed circular was sent to every man in the country known to have Guernsey cattleâ€"the breed sold. This list was obtained from the secretary of the local association, and was sent sealed so as to insure the letter‘s being opened. While there are many â€" factors which contribute to the success . or failure of a farm sale, the weather is the only one that is not in some measure controllable. A farm sale I recently heid was particularly satâ€" isfactory, for which in part I thank the weather man. | _ There have been good reasons for the lack of interest in music, but that phase of our country is fast slipping by.

If the Government found that |or¢lnized groupâ€"singine in the army | was essential as a means not only of | recreation, but necessary also as a means of discipline, why not urge | the systematic study of music for similar reasons in our rural schools? The study of music is not urged as a possible future means of livelihood for the pupils, for few will be found to have unusual voices, or unusual musical gifts; however, there are few who can not take part in groupâ€"singâ€" ing. Notwithstanding the possession of only ~ordinary vocal power, every boy and girl should have the advanâ€" tage of that drill in order to develop not only the singing voice, but the speaking voice as well. Another reason for using the simple time drills devised by the teacher, is the lack of rhythmic sense in many of the childrenâ€"the inability to keep stepâ€" a defect which serves later to make them awhward and selfâ€"conscious.
