“electra soil” culture, devised by Ham
ilton L. Roe of Pitsburgh, is drawing
many visitors from all parts of the
country to the Donald Woodward
farms east of LeRoy, where the sys
tem is being given practical demon
stration. The onlookers watching the
Roe electric plow in action include ex-
I perts* from agricultural colleges as
' well as dirt farmers.
The plow, double-bladed and tractor
drawn, sends 103,000 volts of elec
tricity into the soil as it moves along.
Three fields have undergone this elec-
tri. '.l treatment and a fourth is now
ibt^.’ig prepared for the sowing of fall
wheat.
'i he results are considered remark
able. One of the three fields experi
mented on earlier in the season was
planted to corn, beans and potatoes,
half of it tilled by customary methods
and treated with 1,000 pounds of fer
tilizer and planted with certified seed.
The other half was treated with doses
of electricity on June 1, the com,
beans and potatoes being planted on
June 24 without the use of fertilizer or
certified seed.
It required sixteen days for the fer
tilized com and beans to germinate
and come up, while the crops on the
plots treated with electrciity were up

‘‘So it is with the soil—if it is not
productive, all that is necessary is to
replenish the soil with its natural ele
ments, recharge it with electricity and
its power of functioning* is again re
stored. .
“I have long discovered that plant
life does not require nitrates, phos
phorous, lime or potash; no more do
plants feed upon gold, silver, brass
or copper.
‘‘It is the importance of the power
quality of soils that the farmers must
first understand, and if they give due
consideration to all the five physical
factors of plant life, we learn that
four of t.^em are power factors. Air
and water are qualities of power, and
heat and light, products of electricity,
are also forms of power. It is this
power quality that growing plants
take from the soil . It is the same
power quality that the egg takes from
the hen and the new-born animal takes
from its mother.
‘‘When the electric current first
penetrates the soil, the latter must be
moi$t, and the first treatment is to
kill insects and small animal life. The
second treatment kills the weeds and
fixes the nitrogen of the air in the soil
so that the nitrogen, oxygen and
carbon combine with the moisture of
the soil and produce viable carbonate
of ammonia, which I have termed
‘Electro-C. H. O. N.,’ which is a syn
thetic compound resulting from the

Here is one case where the antidote
to the mail order evil is evident. The lo
cal merchant should keep the home
fires burning by liberal and incessant
use of his advertising mediums. The lo
cal community is sure to read some ad
vertisements and they might as well be
yours.
What Herman Rosenthal says is as
true as Gospel. The house that doesn’t
advertise is losing business. It is not
alone losing business locally, but it per
mits the mail order houses to step in
and take business away.
The man who is getting the business
is the one who h$s the goods, who gives
the service and who advertises. He is
winning success because he deserves it.
The successful merchant advertises
as many weeks in the year as he wants
business.
Are you a real merchant or an ordi
nary store-keeper?
