COUNTY FARM AGENT
. DISCUSSES FERTILIZER,
Manure Not & Balanced Ferillizer for Gen.
eral Farm Crops, He Says, Gives Inte: «
esting Figares,
The general fertilizsr experiments
of the experimental station, minor
tests and farm practice throughout the
state show that for production of gen-
eral farm crops practically all types of
Pennsylvania eoils need phesphorous
more than they any other. fertiliz:r
element,
In the college experiments the ap-
plication of nitrogen and potash, un.
lese accompanied by phosphorous acid
in some form, haa always been at a
very considerable lose, The { use of
$18.60 worth of nitrogen snd potash
figured at normal prices broughtan in-
creased crop reiurn of $2.17. - At pres-
ent prices this treatment would cost
$58.24 aud the increased return in
crops would be $4.65, Phesphoric
acid applied in connection with nitro.
gen and potash increased financial rec
turns from §4.65 to $70.88, figuring
costa at present prices,
When manure se produced on a
farm is used without the addition of
apy phosphoric containing material,
either to the mapure or to the soil op
which itis applied, the conditions are
quite similar to those obtained where
nitrogen and potash alone are used.
While it is true that manure contains
some phosphorous, the amount is not
sufficient to iusure the utilization of
all the nitrogen and potash which it
containe,
At present prices the farmer who
applies 12 tons average manure is treat-
ing his soil with about $55.00 worth of
nitrogen and potash only about $5.00
worth of phosphoric acid. At as nor-
mal price these values would be $22.20
for nitrogen and potssh and $3.12 for
phosphoric acid. To insure the com-
plete utilization of the nitrogen snd
potash applied would necessitate the
addition of about 75 pounds of phos
phorie acid more than contained in
the 12 tons of manure. This would be
supplied in an available form by 480
pounds of 16 per cent Acid Phoe-
phate or about twice that amount of
finely ground raw phosphate rock.
When lighter or heavier applications
of manure are made, these amounts
should be varied accordingly.
At the Ohlo experiment station,
the average returps from a ton of open
yard manure wes $2.98 per year for a
period of thirteen years while that
from a ton of stall manure treated
with 40 pounds of acid phosphate wae
$6.43 for the same period. Although
acid phosphate has increased 40 per
cent to 60 per cent in the last few years,
crops have more than doubled in value
during the same period. The percent
age of profit which may be expected
from the use of these materials today
is greater than the above results,
Therefore to get from the manure
what it Is actually worth for the grow-
ing of general crope, and in order to
prevent the waste of the nitrogen and
potash which it contains {4 Is Impers-
tive to add some form of phosphate,

County Agent.

gize only the furdemenials in educe-

plete harmony among the teaching

and grandchildren t'ok their places
with them. By their plates was
placed as a gift from the children $50,
00 in gold,
All the children and grandchildren
evjoyed the family reunion.
The following poem was composed
and read by their daughter, Miss Car
rie :
DEAR FATHER AND MOTHER.
Two-score years and ten have flown,
Since neath the golden of the skies,
You plighted troth.
Two-score years and ten, Oh ! can it
be ? 2
Since twain as one you launched upon
life's sea ;
The cycle of centuries half has rolled,
Since ‘midst Pennsylvania's hills,
There dawned the morning of your
smiles and tears,
Along the rugged toil-worn path
That leads through fifty years,
You thought not, nor could dream,
When broke the morning sun,
A century's half ago, of what this future
day might bring ;
Nor fleeting time to pierce the veil,
But trusting destiny to God,
You strove to serve the present age,
and your calling to fulfill ;
To labor for the sustenance of man,
Upon the farm your forefathers
bought near ninety years ago,
And now, with evening shades around,
With twilight kissing lock of gray,
The mission of your lives spread like a
scroll,
You've lived and walked the walks of
men,
Your lives a beacon star,
To guide those lives entrusted to yoor
care in paths of righteousness,
And now, with those you've nurtured
well,
To bless your twilight days,
So with one accord, children and chil-
dren's ghildren
Rise and eall you blessed.
And though trials and mistakes have
come,
The faltering times and fears, your
light reflected from the light of the
world,
The sun of righteousness,
And shines on undimmed by years,
Ah! Well you've lived and wrought,
Ye builded better than you knew,
No earthly crown of great fame, you e'er
shall wear,
But greater riches of faith you hold,
With God to guide and love to lead.
Then in that kingdom not of men,
On your brows the king will place the
diadem you've won,
The greatest crown, eternal life,
Within the crown, “Well done.”
