Balanced Feeding Builds Soil Health Crops Need Good Diet Like Humans You can't build up the soil's health and crop yielding power by overfeeding it one plant nut'ient while starving it for others. Purdue university agronomists demonstrated the importance of balancing the nutrient supplies in tests in Davies county, Indiana. Loading up the soil with nitrogen when phosphate and potash levels were low. reduced corn yields on

A balanced diet of all the essential elements will soon have your sick soil healthy and productive again. the Charles Scherck farm, reports Howard Lathrope. Purdue soils specialist. In the tests, three plots of corn each received 100 pounds of phos phate and potash per acre. One plot had eight pounds of nitrogen, a second had 108 pounds and the third, 208 pounds. Tissue tests of corn on the eight pound plot showed no nitrogen, but ample phosphate and potash. As the nitrogen applications went up, the potash levels in the corn plants went down, reducing growth. On the plot where 208 pounds of nitrogen were added, there was just enough potash in the fer tilizer to balance out the corn feeding program. The potash short age caused a lack of energy foods i,. the plant. The root systems of the high-nitrogen, low-potash corn were weak. The stalks were wob bly. so the plants lodged badly. place of the $18 Olesen had lost was a $20 bill.

I Farmers Lose Millions To Three 'Robbers' Three ' robbers" are taking rm, lions of dollars from farmers each vear^ These robbers are livestock diseases, parasites and plain care lessness. Annual losses from just two dairy diseases, brucellosis and mastitis, run ciosc to $20U.OU0.UOU a year, in addition to the losses from do/i-ns of other animal diseases. Of all dairy calves born, 2-1 per cent , never live to reach maturity. Of 1 those that do live, only 17 per cent i are still in the milking line at 10 years of age. Ten per cent of all baby chicks and 15 per cent of all poults w ill not j live 56 days. Only 60 per cent ot ! the spring pig crop will li\e to reach maturity. Additional millions of dollars of livestock losses also result each year from external and internal parasites. Finally, a heavy loss is ! caused by injuries and deaths due to careless loading and hauling of livestock to market.

If you want to use a two-man saw alone, run two wires be tween the handles and put a notched stick between them. This will stiffen the saw and the bandies will not wobble from side to side.

Time was when Mr. Turkey could i x pect to live until sometime near Thanksgiving Now all that has been changed. Turkeys now are being butchered in every month of the year.
