The plot receiving the is that, the Southern farmer will be complete fertilizer to oats showed disappointed when he undertakes to an increase of 8 bushels per acre of meet Kis phosphorus requirements grain and 365 pounds of cowpea hay with the rock instead-of the" acid.

PUZZLED Hard, Sometimes, to Raise Children Children's taste is ofttimes more accurate, in selecting the right kind of food to fit. the body, than that of adults. Nature works more accurate ly through the children. . A Brooklyn lady "says : "Our little boy had long been troubled with weak digestion. We could never persuade him to take more than one taste of any kind of cereal . food.? He was a weak little chap and we were puzzted to know what to,"feed him on. :- -t 0ne,Jucky day we tried ;Grape iNuts. Well, you never saw a child eat wth such a relish, and it did me more good to see-him. : From that day on it seemed-as though we could al most see him grow. He would eat rpe-Nuts for breakfast and supper, and I think he would have liked the iood for dinner, ' , - - "The difference in his appearance, is something wonderful. - My husband had never fancied ce real foods of any kind, but he became very fond of Grape-Nuts and has been much improved in: health since us ing it. ; - , . t "We are ; now a healthy-family, afid naturally. believe in Grape-Nuts.

Southern farmers to 4earn that ground phos phate rock will give very poor results on most of the soils -of the Southern states unless it. is applied in connect ion with barnyard manure or" is turn- ed"under with' the green manuring crop. Phosphate ; rockr requires inti mate association with humus or or ganic matter to become an active fer tilizing agent. . Since humus is the one great shortage : of Southern soils, therej;is the greatest need of seeing that "the ground rock is not applied until this shortage; is supplied, at least to some degree.
