Conserving harm Manure.
At the present time when ma
ny farmers are worrying Aver the
shortage of the potash supply is
a good time to turn attention to
our own farm resources and J.
T. Campbell, soil and farm crop
expert of the Department of Ag
riculture especially recommends
the conservation of the liquid ma
nure. Mr. Campbell says:
"On many farms the liquid
manure of the farm livestock
goes down through the floor of
the stable or is otherwise lost to
the land and with it goes im
mense value to the farmer. The
crops taken from the field re
move more or les3 potash while
crops fed to animals give off the
potash largely through the urine.
If the liquid manure is not re
turned to the soil, the potash sup
ply of the soil suffers.
If concrete watertight floors
were constructed in the barns
and enough of litter used to ab
sorb the liquid, or concrete or
watertight pits or reservoirs pro
vided adjacent to the stables and
barns, and the resultant manure
were intelligently applied to the
soil, there would not be a great
need for additional potash.
"Most farmers have exagger
ated ideas of the need of more
plant food in the soil. What is
needed more is a knowledge of
how to make use of the plant
food already in the soil. Some
experiment stations are conduct
ing a lot of experiments to show
what can be done with chemical
fertilizers and practically doing
nothing to show us how the soil
fertility can be maintained or re
stored without the expense of
using chemicals and by going on
in natures own way."
Foreign Mission Thank-Offering.
Next Sunday, March 12, in
both churches of the Lutheran
Charge the foreign Mission
Thank offering to Almighty God
for having preserved us as a peo
ple in peace with the world, and
when everywhere the shoutings
of war are heard, will be receiv
ed at all the service). Little en
velopes for the Peace offering
were given out about two
weeks ago. If no envelope has
reached you you will be given a
chance at the services to get one
and make your offering. The
regular apportionment for for
eign Missions is thirty two cents
a year for each member. Be
cause the American Church has
been obliged to take upon its
shoulders the work of the nations
at war so far as foreign missions
is concerned, we are requested
to try to double our regular ap
portionment and raise the amount
at once. Let every member of
the Sunday school or church re
spond to thi3 great need and
thereby offer an effective prayer
to God to keep us out of the war
and preserve us as a nation of
peace. Come every member of
the School, and the church and
friends of the church and bow
before your God and do his will
no w so his anger will not fall up
on us as a church or a people as
it did upon the nations of Europe.
