I The following statement! oncerning the fertilization of| rheat this fall was issued by! he department of agricultural xtension at Purdue Univeritv, July . 1, 1917: The fertilization of the rheat crop was never more mportant than it will be this all. From every part of Indi na come reports of the extent results secured from ferilization and the very poor ields of wheat secured from mfertilized soil. By fertilizng, the farmer swaps dollars or eagles. "Evidence on the profita leness of fertilizing the rtieat is abundant." "In 1916; j. M. Waggoner of St. Joseph ounty, applied two hundred ounds of acid phosphate to he acre, 011 all but a small art a field sown to wheat. 'rom the fertilized part he seured 22.4 bushels of wheat d the acre, and on the unferilized, 12.5 bushels to the ere?a gain of 9.9 bushels, ue to fertilizing." 4 DUCE YOUR FE: Si We have been made the distri Sfi Sff for a Limestone that is unusual! $ it quickly available. It releases a soil, corrects the acidity and pi || the soil very much more product ffl early stand of cotton, corn and j jgs class condition. M Order Early? I ANDERSON PHOS I COMJ M ANDERSC Ij W. F. FARME B?11| This year two hundred pounds of acid phosphate will cost about $2.25, and wheat is worth $2.00 per bushel. On this basis the increase secured by Mr. Waggoner would be worth $19.80 and the profit after counting expenses of applying fertilizer and paying fnr hflirvp.sf.inff and markfit.insr '\?M the increased crop would be JM more than $5.00 an acre. If this isn't a case of swapping V dollars for eagles it comes ^ | very near to it. The Ohio experiment station of Wooster, as an average for the last twenty-two years, has secured an increase of 8.0 bushels of wheat to the acre, from an application of 160 pounds of acid phosphate to the acre. The phosphated yield has been 19.2 bushels, |j and the unphosphated 11.2 j hnahplc WIippp 1000 nniinH? ..va of potash has been added to the phosphate, the yield has been 20.4 bushels to the acre, or an increase of 1.2 bushels M more than was secured from -fl! phosphate alone. Even at presont prices for wheat and be- 03|| fore-war prices for7 potash the 3 increase in the wheat crop was "% not sufficient to pay the cost --gi of the potash. The addition -,:|l of potash to fertilizer contain- || ing phosphorous and nitrogen *| will-not be profitable when ap- . 3 plied to clay and loam soils. Nine farmers out of ten should fertilizer wheat this # v jj fall. Fertilizer hot only in- ^$9 creases the yield directly, but ; >|| the greater supply of available plant food makes stronger plants that withstand the attack of fungus diseases and insects better than those unfertilized. At present prices the farmer may expect a re- :>ij| turn of at least'five dollars for every dollar spent for wheat -Ja fertilizer this fall. The importance of ordering | early cannot be too strongly / v|f emphasized. Those who order - M early will get what they want, , 'M while those- who order late ' will be compelled to take what ^8 is left, or do without.?Adv. WANTS | WANTED?Freslf country eggs, 32c.
