4 J fr-n TAC2 t r-fT. C, Arrin, i 1 -4 'FARf.1 DSIONSTRATION AGENT'S COLUMN Contributed by EARLE BRINTNALL WHAT IS A FERTILIZER-A farm ir was asked what fertilizer the peo pie ot his section used. "Well," he ays, "some use 8-2-2 and some use Anchor Brand." This man did not know what $he figures 8-2-2 meant. He evidently bought his fertilizer by the brand and not by the analysis. It is true that there are several different brands of fertilizer sold. It is also true that one firm may put out the ame fertilizer under two or more different brands. If one gets a fer tilizer that is put out by a responsible ompany, one the analysis of which i guaranteed, the brand is not of ma terial importance. It is well to re member that in buying fertilizer it fa not the brand but the plant food whlch that fertilizer contains, that is being bought It is well to remember that different soils, different crops, and different conditions require dif ferent plant foods. Study your soil conditions, consider the crop you are intending to plant, remember that a legume when inoculated with nitrify ing bacteria can get nitrogen from the air, that when these crops arej tnrned under as green manure they add nitrogen to the soil, and that' stable manure when used reduces the, requirements of the soil for plant; food. It might be said to be a science ( to study your soil requirements and decide what fertilizer you should use, and aa a science it requires close study to meet the requirements of your soil. these are especially benefltd by an ap plication of ground limestone. Some, as alfalfa, require a considerable a mount to make any growth that is profitable on most soils. The clovers, while they may live and grow to a small extent without the use of lime stone, respond readily where it is us ed. Corn and small grains have giv en increased production after lime stone has been applied. It will be found that where limestone is used judicially the returns for the fertiliz er used on the crop will be increased, Limestone might be classed more as a medicine or a tonic than as a food; a material which enables the plant to make a better use of the plant food which is at hand. THE PLACE THAT LIMESTONE CULTIVATE THE GRASS LANDS A suggestion that many may give thought to profitably is that the grass lands be improved by cultivating, fer tilizing, reseeding in spots, and by cutting the briars instead of turning the sod with a plow, cropping one year and then reseeding. It requires several years to form a grass sod. When such a sod is plowed because the grass has died in spots, much time is lost. In many instances it would seem to be much preferable to go on to these bare spots with a drag har row or a disc harrow, loosen them up, apply fertilizer at the rate of 200 lb a. to the acre and then reseed these spots to a mixture of grasses. By following this practice it is not nec- . hot flashes "V "OOME time ago when la a very nervous, rujvdawn condition,1' says Mrs. Martha F. Marloy, of Broken Bow, Okla, "I tried numerous reme dies to try at least to keep going; but I could not I was weak and tired Just no good at alL My back ached and I bad hot flashes until I was so very nervous I smothered. "I couldn't sleep and I was never hungry, and I kept get ting weaker. I couldn't stand on m feet This was an un- usual condition for me as I had been pretty strong all along. I knew that I would have to do something, and that nrnHv unnn. :i . "Some friend suggested that j I take Cardui, and it certainly 5 was a good suggestion, for after taking one bottle I could tell I was stronger and better. 1 didn't quit I kept it op all through the change and did fine. I felt like a different person after I began taking Cardui." , Cardui has helped thousands of suffering women. Sold by all druggists.

'jessary to tear up places already well TAKES IN SOIL FERTILITY There odded. by flowing this method it are those who believe that limestone wiQ replace fertilizers in crop produc tion or that the application of ferti lizer will do away with the necessity of limestone. This idea is wrong, limestone is not primarily a plant food. It may be used to a very small extent as such but this is not of great is possbile to keep oar steep hillsides in grass continually In time if this is done, there wSl be acres of fine bluegrass sod over the county, acres permanently sodded, where otherwise we will have only a temporary sod of some grasses of lesser importance. This practice should also give a great- consideration. The chief use of lime- er carrying capacity to our pastures. stone Is that of neutralizing the acid There are s very large number of a- that exists in the soil and which is detrimental to the growth of most of our. crops. The creps that receive the greatest benefit from an application eres Over the county now that should be in grass, acres that if they were in grass would return a much larger income than they do now. Once these WHAT SORT OF A CROP IS YOUR lahu rxouuciNG There are three ways in which the land of Madi son County can be produoing. It can n UI m7iT4.fLl.fZfi4m be in a cultivated crop of some sort; of limestone are the legumes. All of aerM m seeded they should be kept DOES MILLET HAVE A PLACE AS A HAY CROP Many have asked re garding millet. It is our opinion that millet is not as desirable in this sec tion as some other crops. It will not yield as much as other crops and is not as well liked by the stock. As we stated last week, soybeans is the most desirable emergency hay crop we have. Next to it is Sudan grassJ This last grass can be grown any place that millet can and will grow faster and yield more hay to the acre. If sowed early in the season two crops can be cut from the same seeding. It is also relished by all livestock and this is one essential of a good hay crop, a point that should always re ceive consideration. We would rele gate millet to a seat back of that giv en either soybeans or Sudan grass for hay.

It' is certainly true . that none of it should be idle. However, this is not the situation for on. every farm there 1s an average of over 4 acres of land that is idle, 1 acre out of every 20. No farmer can afford to pay taxes on idle land. Steep land should all b, in grass or in growing grass and that can not be cultivated . - should be in timber.
