the corn crop; after tobacco,
where a large amount of fer
tilizer was used and the grain
will have access to the residue
of this fertilizer, it is not so
essential that more fertilizer
be applied. This past season
when all the small grain fields
yielded good, crops, those on
which fertilizer was used were
the best. A fertilizer of a 10-4-4
or a 12-4-4 mix is probably
the one that will give the best
results on the most of our soils.
From 300 to 400 pounds to the
acre will not be too much to
use. If you are in position to
spread around 2000 lbs. of
ground limestone to the acre in
addition to the above amount
of fertilizer you will have tak
en another step in the right di
rection; the limestone will
probably increase the yield of
the small grain and will also
go far toward insuring the
clover crop on that ground.
Sowing grains early, making a
good seed bed and using some
plant-food, will make, a crop
more sure. Winter Barley

wheat should be in the

it be a heavy clay soil that set

the average farmer if that he

The average farmer goes from

plan for the future. The re
sult is that his efforts are not
successful, his life is monoton

all interest, his farm decreases
in productiveness; in short we
have a discouraged and an un
successful farmer. Wlhy not
