0-12â€"15 14,720 lbs. per acre. 2-12-10 13,440 lbs. per acre. no fertilizer 10,880 lbs. per acre. Only one crop was cut on aceount of the severe drought, but the figures show clearly that fertilizer was re- sponsible for a gain of 3,840 lbs. green hay per acre ‘in the case of 0-12-15. This was 1,280 lbs. greater yied that that made by the nearest competitor, 2-12-10. It is apparent from this test that Mr. Dimma’s alfalfa problem is to keep up the potash and phosphate of his soils. The alfalfa crop will take care of its own needs as far as nitroâ€" gen is concerned, but the minerals must be added. On another part of Mr. Dimma’s farm, four fertilizers were applied on ensilage corn. The exceeding dry summer retarded the growth of corn very greatly in this section of York County, but‘ at harvest time, 2‘12-10 fertilizer had increased the yield, 2 ~tons. All of the fertilizers were apâ€" plied at the rate of 375 lbs. per acre, at. a cost of six to seven dollars: per acre. The yields obtained were as follows: ‘ Onl of the show spons green 0-12-1 Z-LZ-G . . . . 10.7 tons per acre. 2-12-10 . . . . 12.1 tons per acre. 3-10â€"5 . . . . . 11.3 tons per acre. 0-12-10 . . . . 10.7 tons per acre.

White, Agricultural Representative for York County, laid down two very interest- ing fertility tests last summer.

The prize-winning answer was a gem, worth a place in anybody’s scrap book. Thereason given why women are like newspapers was: “Because every man should have one of his own and not run after his neighbor’s.” Other answers sent in were-â€" “Because their work is never done.” “Because a woman wants to know all the news and tell all she knows." “Because both are tactful, desirable interesting and indispensable.” “Because they have forms.” “Because they have bold faced ty’pes.” “Because they are easy to read.” “Because they are well worth look- ing over.” “You may often disagree with them but you can’t get along without them” “Because they always have the last word." “Because demand.” “Because they are not afraid to speak their minds.” “Because if they know anything they usually tell it.” “Because they carry the news wherever they go.” “Because they have a great deal of influence.” The Redding Currier Free Press re EWART PINDER back numbers are not ANDE Mrs. Farrants has been confined to her home for a few days suffering from sore throat.
