purposeless course by putting oft until tomorrow that
long-expected intention to start a bank account?
There's no better paving for the road to somewhere--at
the end of which lies success than a bank ac
count. Nothing can keep you from a worth-while destina
tion if you work hard, save regularly and invest
your money wisely. Saving not only accumulates
money, but it gives you that financial independence
that enables you to reach out ahead and grasp op-,
portunities as they are presented to you, and to cre
ate still others.
Come in and let us talk it over. Let us show you
what real bank character and service are and how
they can help you on to the road to SOMEWHERE
and success and independence.

shortest plant food element represent
ed here by a stava, limit the possible
production of a crop?
If. for instance, there is only enough
nitrogen in the soil to produce 0
bushels of com or 175 pounds of cot
ton per acre, while there is enough
plant food elements of other kinds to
produce enormoxisly more, how then
can greater yields be obtained than the
nitrogen will permit? .
The problem cf plant feeding is,
therefore, no simple one. It has en
gaged lcng and most careful investi
gations of scientists, who have delved
deep into the mysteries of how plants
feed and what they feed upon. On the
basis of the most exact knowledge thus,
obtained, modern fertilizers have been
manufactured. Soil deficiencies, or
"limting factors," modern fertilizers
are designed to remove, and to call
into fullest action the natural re
sources of the soil.
Since there is a limiting factor in
all soils, it is worth while for each
farmer to undertake to remove that
limitation. Intelligent use of fertiliz
ers will accomplish it, if food elements
be this limiting factor. In no other
way can it be done than by the help
of man. He must bring to the" plant
the food it needs and cannot find when
this is the factor limiting producton.
The plant, of course, must be given
the best of surroundings. It must not
only have plenty of plant food, but
the soil must be properly drained of
excess water. It must, be well supplied
with lime, and organic matter; its
moisture must be conserved,- and
weeds killed through proper, cultural
methods. These things man can pro
vide. Therefore, if man is not the
"limiting factor" and he looks after
the plant food requirements, the great
est possible yields vail occur. v

Plants must feed

J. C. PRIDMORE J- Jhese re ,Ni-
A0ronomist ric acid and pQt
sh. Every soil may be said to have a
limiting factor of production. This
may be a shortage of some plant food
element. If so, this should be- sup
plied through fertilization if the larg
est possible yields are to be obtained.
No matter how much of other plant
food a soil may contain, if there, is a
shortage of nitrogen, for example, then
nitrogen will fix the limits of produc
tion. Likewise with phosphoric acid or
other elements.
Plants differ from animals in taking
food, in that plants will take foods
only when the elements composing
them are in soluble form, that is, when
they are dissolved in water. When
one element is deficient, the plant
ceases growing.

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or
when it fades, turns gray, dull and life
lees, is caused by a lack of sulphur in
the hair. Our grandmother made up a
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful,, and
thousands of women and men who value
that even color, that beautiful dark
shade of hair which is so attractive, use
only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
improved by the addition of other ingredi
ents by asking at any drug store for a 50
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sul-
Ehur Compound," " which darkens the
air so naturally, so evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied. You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair, tak
ing one small strand at a time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound, is that, besides beau
tifully darkening the hair after a few
applications, it also bring3 back the gloss
and lustre and gives it an appearance
of abundance. -

Inquiry "What is the most profit
able use of the Velvet Bean?"
Plant the velvet bean in the corn
and get a double crop. They do well
together. Plant an early variety and.
fertilize for a good growth.
The most economical use of velvet
beans is to let cattle feed on them
in the field and then to turn under
the vegetable matter remaining. If
there are not sufficient cattle on the
place, get them and feed them. Why
go to the expense of gathering beans,
grinding and shipping the meal off to
some one else to feed and get the
benefits ? J. N. HARPER. 4
