Poor Plant Uroaih Without Nitrogen —Phosphate Also Iteyulresl for Beat Results — The Dieting of Plants Explained. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture. Toronto.) Plants, like aniwals, require food Their food consists of simpler sub - J stances, but 1t Is cone the less ne (misery. In general farm practice we do not feed plants; but we grow them In a soil, from which and the surrounding air, we expect them to gather their food. In nearly every instance there Is an abundance of food around the plant, but it is not always in a fora) that It can be ab- sorbed. Sometimes there may be an abundance of some of the food consUtuents and very little of others. We recognise the Importance of a balanced diet for man, but fail to realise that it 1s lust as important for the plant. The Soil Must Have Nitrogen. Fortunately, while there are quite a number of essential parts to the balanced diet of a plant; t e are only three or four that It has di.- culty in getting, and, of these again there are two that are more fre- quently deficient than others. These are nitrogen and phosphoric act There is a great store of the for- mer in the 4aseous form in the ale around us. as much as approximately 70,000.000 pounds over every acre of land. Yet, because the plant takes its nitrogen In a soluble form through the roots of the plant. this Inert. gaseous nitrogen Is of no use until it Is taken Into the soil and rendered available. Among other methods of getting this nitrogen into the soil. nature has provided that 1f we grow legumes. such as clover, peas, etc.. we will get some of this nitrogen built Into the plant. Then on the decay of the accumulated vegetable matter from these and other plants, the nitrogen Is left In the form that Is of use to plants. This means that decaying vegetable matter In the soil is the main source of nitrogen as a toocl for farm crops other than legumes. We may be quite sure that it the roil is low In decaying vegetable matter there will be a small amount of nitrogen. With- out plenty of available nitrogen we cannot get the abundant growth of leaf and stem that Is necessary; ne- cessary, because it is in the leaf that the carbon dioxide taken from the air is built up Into sugars. starch, and other compounds of like nature, and that anything that limits the size of the leaf just as surely limits the plant's ability to make and store these compounds. Nitrogen forces big leaf and sten) growth, hence its great waive in crop production. --- The decaying vegetable matter. however, does more than furnish ni- trogen; It Improves the physical con- dition of the soil, thus making it easier to work. It increases the abil- ity of the soil to hold water. thereby insuring better returub iu dry wea- ther, and in its decay furnishes acids which help to bring Insoluble plant food into an available condition. These are strong s *temente to make about any constituent of the soil, but they show the Importance of growing catch crops to plough down as frequently as possible in the rota- tion. A legume naturally 1s the beet crop, but where this is not possible, or too expensive, grow rye, reps, or some crop that will furnish organic matter to the soil. Pbosimbote Also a Necessary Food. The element next to nitrogen in importance is phosphorus. Nitrogen can be got from the air by legum- inous plants, but the phosphorus supply in the soil can be supplement- ed only by adding some form of ma- nure or fertiliser. The supply In the son to comparatively small, and Is naturally held In an insoluble form, so that losses by leaching may be reduced to a minimum. So firmly is the phosphorus held, that In our study of the soils of the Province, we and that after nitrogen, no plant food constituent that may be added will give so decidedly good results as phosphorus. This is especially true when applied for the cereal grains and turnips. On fall %heat, 400 pounds of acid phoaphete per acre has doubled the yield, and basic slag on heavy soils bas given even bet- ter results. On soils fairly rich In vegetable matter, and thus well sup - Sited with nitrogen. there is usually no need of supplementing the gen- eral manuring with anything but the phosphate, he exception being when tall wheat has wintered poorly and Is having a bard time to make growtd In a cold backward spring. Then an application of nitrite of soda at the rate of 100 to 160 pounds per acre on the poorer parts of the geld will usually pay well. Turnips have difficulty In absorb Ing phosphates, hence although the ground is usually well manured for this crop. It will pay to add three or tour hundred pounds of acid Phosphate per acre. On ground that was rich enniigh to grow twenty-five tons of turnips per acre we have + -by tha -trmw- of three hundred pounds of aefd phosphate per sere. The points to be kept in mind are that while nitrogen la s0 valnabl• there Is a very large supply In the air whfeb can be got through the growing of leguminous crops, and that the phosphate. for nN soaa, bare a peceilfar valueveous whenr- used to supplement good general ma- nuring and good c„ItIvation.—Prot.

Careful Selection Advised — Poor Seed May Have Excellent Feeding Value— What Experiments With Beed Show—Buying a Farm. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture. Toronto.) Farmers, like others, are prone to put off to -day what they can do to- morrow, and, as a result, often neg- lect to get seed grain ready for sow- ing until tAe fine days of early spring call them to the Land. Much time may be saved and the rusb of spring work lightened if seed is pre- pared lo the late months of winter for spring lowing. This early seed preparation will likely result also In the seed of different crops being sown at the right time to insure the greatest yields. tae the Very Best Seed. The first step in good seed selec- tion bhould be the obtaining of the very best variety for sowing, a var- iety whose yield is htgb and whose anality of grain is good. Varieties of ts, such as O.A.C. No. 72. Banner, d O.A.C. No. 3; varieties of bar- ley, such as O.A.C. No. 21; varieties of spring wheat, such as Marquis, Red Fite, and Wild Goose; varieties f spring rye, such as O.A.C. No. 41; varieties of field peas, such as Cana- dian Beauty. Arthur, Potter, and Golden Vine; varieties of field beans, -such as the Common White Pea Dean; varieties of buckwheat. such as Rye. and Silver Hull. are all well suited to Ontario conditious. Grain May Be Poor for Seed But Good for Feed. Swale, shruuken, or broken seed has a feeding value uearly equal to that of large, plump, sound seed. Seed selection experiments conduct- ed at . the O. A. College,, Guelph, have shown. however, that there is a very great difference In the value of these for seed purposes. What Eaperinsents Show. Varying qualities of seed of oats, barley, spring wheat, peas and Held beans were tested. and it was found that one year's seed selection of seed grain has a marked Influence on the resulting crop. In every single In- stance, the large plump freed produc- ed a greater yield of grain per acre than the medium sized, small, shrunken, broken, or split seed. lu the average of four classes of grain, the large plump seed surpassed the small plump seed in yield of grain per acre by 28 per cent. aria. In the average of three classes of grain, the plump seed gave au average yield over the shrunken. broken, or split seed of 64 per cent. In this experi- ment equal numbers of seeds were used in each selection. Large plump seed produced a larger, more vigor- ous, and more productive plant than that produced from small plump. shrunken, broken, or spilt seed. It should be remembered too that where only the largest and plumpest grains are used for seed, the very nature of the selection eliminates the majority of the weed seeds which may have bee" in the grain before selection. 1. / When the farmer has obtained the, hest variety and sown only the best seed of this variety, he has placed the very safest insurance possible on the future,of his crops.—W.

The Judgment used in making the selection of a farm may make or break a man, may tie him up for life to poverty or to wealth. In districts where the moll La uniformly good over a larger', and where prosperity Is evident on all sides the task is not so great and risky. But In districts where var- ious types and grades of soil exist a poor farm and a good tarn may lie side by side.

Farm purchases are most fre- quently made during the winter when the opportunity for close exam- ination is least. This ahould not be so. If farms were purchased on the basis of the crop showing during the month of July there would be fewer regrets. It a man contemplates pur- chasing a farm in a district where be has lived for a long period, he will know the soil and district con- ditions.

House the Tractor—It Must 13e Kepi t'lean—Be Careful 1n Lubricating With (Nis and Grease — Air cleaning. 1Conlrlbuted by Ontario Department or Agriculture. Toronto.) In the year 1893 the Hart -Parr Co. built their first tractor. During 1910 there were about 1.300 tractors sold to the United States. and to 1920 this number was Increased to 176,000. This year the sales are greater than the total for the past ten years. many dealers being sold out in the first four months of the year. These figures are a pretty fair indication that the tractor is taking Its place as a farm implement. Faro) Implements generally have a very abort life, and tractor depreciation is usually reckoned at from 20 to 25 per cent. Housing. A good tractor deserves the best of protection and when not in use or stored for the winter should be in a shed that is weather tight. If It la to be left to the field over night it should be covered with a waterproof canvas to properly pro-` tect the wiring, magneto, etc. Cleaning. — — -- Exposure 1s not by any means the only 111 -treatment to which a tractor is subjected. Have you not often seen them so covered with dirt and grease that you wonder bow they can carry the extra load:' If the work of carrying It was all it would not be so bad, but the great trouble with these dirt accumulations Is that sooner or later the grit is going to work into the bearluge and get into the carburetor, with the result that you have ground. -out bushings and scored cylinders. To clean off these accumulations each day will take but a few moments and pay you well. To allow them to stand for a week or so means that the heat of the en- gine will burn them and mate their removal a very dlmc it matter. Lsbrlcating. O11 in a gas engine or tractor serves three purposes: 1, general lubrfcatlon; 2, compreulou seal 1n the cyituder; 3.tooting. For each part of an engine that requires oil there must be an ade- quate supply or that part 1s going to fail sooner or later. It hat been said that not one man In a hundred know, every oil hole on his tractor. This Is nearer the truth than may he Imagined. and part of the fault Hes with the manufacturer who places oil holes or grease cups In places where it would almost require a detective to find them. You must study your oiling chart, and then follow the system of oiling as laid down in your tractor manual. Give the manufacturer credit for know- ing the oiling needs of his product. Oils and greases should be bought most carefully. Each manufacturer will tell you what oil to use in his particular machine. The reason di( ferent tractors call for different oils is because they differ in construc- tion, speed and operating tempera- ture. To make sure that you are getting the oil recommended, buy it in settled containers. Mechanical Oilers. Some tractors are equipped with meeltanlcal oilers. In these cases fresh oil is constantly supplied to certain parts. These oilers Work so well that they are often forgotten. Not long ago a tractor operator beard one of his cylinders blowing gas past the piston. On examination It was found that the piston was dry and badly scored. Further exawin- atlon revealed the fact that the little pump in the oiler which should have been supplying oil to that cylinder had stopped Working. The oiler wap drained and washed out well with kerosene. Then it was turned out and fresh oil put into the oiler. It was again turned by hand and again that particular pump did not work. The oiler was now removed and tak- en apart when, after quite a careful search, a small bit of chaff was found in one of the fine oil passages. The bit of chaff would let the thin kerosene pass but stopped the thick cylinder oil. Equal care as to cleanliness should be observed as to grease,. If grit Is on your hands or whatever you are using to 411 the grease cups with, you may be sure you are going to have Scored bearings. In filling the cups see that there is no air left In then) and then turn them down until you see grease squeezed out of the bear- ing. This makes sure that It is get- ting where it will do good. It 1s westing money to buy a low grade grease becalm(' they eonnl*t mainly of • low grade soap and a large amount of water and will freeze. Cheap greases also contain acid fats and are certain to spoil the highly -finish- ed surfaces of anti -friction bearings. Air Cleaning.

Va , B.C. — The "Princess Louise," all -British Columbia built and newest addition to the coastwise passenger fleet flying the house - flag of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way, will be ready for commission shortly. it was stated by Capt. C. D. N•routsos, marine superintendent, British Columbia Coast Steamship Service. "Princess Louise" will first be operated, Capt. Neroutsos states, on the route between Victoria and Vancouver, which will be in the na- ture of a thorough test of the boat's machinery before she is sent north to Alaska for which pervice the "Princess Alaska, was designed. The Alaska service between Victoria, Vancouver, Prince Rupert and Skag- way will be maintained by the "Princess Louise" from the time e lle is put into commission for the northern run until June next, when the summer schedule of the Alaska route will go into effect. The first of the sailings under the summer schedule will be tak- en by the "Princess Louise," Lav- ing Victoria June 9 at 11 p.m„ and clearing from Vancouver at 9 p.m., June 10. The "Princess Louise" will be operated to Alaska this sum- mer in conjunction with the "Prin- cess Alice. These two splendid boats will give the Alaskans the finest steamship service they have ever had. It will amount to approxi- mately a semi-weekly schedule. The summer schedule ofj the "Princess Louise" from Victoria to Alaska is aa follows: June 9, June 23, July 4, July 14, July 25, August 4, August 15 August 25.
