was to adjust more smoothly the re-

of the premlers, notably Hertzog of
South Africa, were insistent, in their
opening addresses, on “free nation-

Waste of Plant Food by
Management of Manure
On many farms much of the plant
food in manure is wasted by careless
methods of handling. Not every farm
can afford a covered manure shed, but
1t takes little additional labor tp place
manure from the barns In compact
piles where the losses from leaching
are minimized, thas it does to allow
it to spread in a shallow open pile all
over the barnyard. The most efficient
way to handle manure is to haul it
out to the field In a spreader as fast
ax produced, but this practice Is not
always feasible,
