AN APPEAL FOR EXETER Sure to Exhaust the Best Soil in Time. Plant Food Must Be Supplied - Mother Earth Ras Her Seven Rules Rules for PoUltry Inalsere -Breaking Up' Broody Hens. (contributed by Ontario taepartment of Agriculture. Toronto.) Lands that have been farmed for half a century usually show a de- crease In crop production. A few farms that have been well managed in the various sections of Ontario are atilt very productive. Some have been so depleted of the plant food mater- ials that were accumulated during the period of forest development a8 to be unprofitable under tillage to- day. Previous to clearing and crop- ping the process was accumulating fertility. Since cropping has been Practiced. the process has been re-', versed and supplanted by one of ex- penditure. Under a farming practice that exhausts the humus and returns no vegetable matter the soil hardens quickly, dries out and becomes non- productive, simply because there is neither food nor soil Ute to release such to growing plants. Mineral Eletnnatts Become Exhausted. Frequently one of the mineral ele- ments ---.lime, potash or phosphorous -is exhausted by cropping or leach- ing. Nitrogen exhaustion is a very conr.mou eouditiou noticeable in lands that have been cultivated for more than twenty -rive years. Anter all, the soil is only a storehouse tor those elements required in the lite pro- cesses of the food plants that the farmer grows. In that storehouse various forms of life are at work Converting the unusable to a usable or food condition for the plant. If we crop for years and exhaust the nitrogen or the potash or the phos- phorous to a point where any of such could not be supplied In quantity suf- ficient to meet the full demands of the growing plant then we bave a condition of plant mal -nutrition or starvation. How a"ten during the past sum- mer have I heard the question: "Is not Exeter beautiful?" Travellers passing through along Main street, are surprised at the clean, bright, tidy apearanee of the business houses public buildings and private residen- ces. The improvements of the past two years have certainly been very evident. The question now is "shall we continue the good work?" I be- lieve everyone will gladly answer. "certainly." Then under these circumstances what should be done during the com- ing years? Allow me to make the following suggestions, Though many use the lawn mower on lawns and boulevard regularly, yet there are many more who do not. Where own- ers of property cannot or will not do this it should be done by the town and charged against the property, it always being understood that resi- dent owners should first be appealed to to act, and then if they didn't the town should act. In the second place there are spots like the Public Li- brary lawn, and the vacant lot beside the Bank of Commerce building. Again, our parks will amply repay a little extra care. If made more beautiful they would soon become the resort of those who love nature and rest. Especially could the Riv- erside Park be made a beauty spot. The sloping hillside and the prox- imity to the water lend themselves to improvement. • If the council could be persuaded to grant en of one mill in the taxes for this purpose it could profitably be `spent: This is done in Stratford with the, result that the city is' be- coming more beautiful year after year. The river Avon isn't as large. as ours and yet they have their de- lightful artificial lake with its boat- ing and bathing and interesting col- ony of swans. The riew- -Horticultural society could• possibly take charge of the work of improvement without cost to the town. One thing is certain, the members of this society are interest- -ed in improving the appearance of the town. Think, about it, Then work and urge others to do the. sante: Citizen. Plant Food Must Be Supplied. Tbe plant can develop only to the extent that food is supplied to per- mit growth. Many or the thin crops noticeable in many sections of the province are thin simply because of soil exhaustion. Some part of the plant's ration is below the minimum requirement for best development. It may be nitrogen or potash or phos- phorous. However, if we have rob- bed the soil of some fertility element to a Point where we see a decline In yields we should return to the soil what we bave taken away if we are to expect full yields again, Cropping will exhaust a soil if the system of rotation or management does not provide for ample return of the es- sential elements, nitrogen, potash and phosphorous. Effects of cropping are not noticed on the really well managed farms where clovers and other legume plants are prominent in the crop retatien, where the crops grown are fed to live stock and where some attention is paid to keeping the mineral elements, potash, phosphor- ous and,Jlme, abundantly supplied. Mother Earth Wants Only a Fair Show. The Bolls of Mother Earth will, it reasonably and intelligently manag- ed by all of the thousands . of in- dividual farmers, last for many cen- turies. Unfortunately all our farm- ers. are not as reasonable as they might be, and we frequently see evi- dence of overcropping, soil robbing, poor management and lost labor. - L Stevenson, Secretary, Department of Agriculture, Toronto. y HURONDALE The monthly meeting of the Hur- ondale.

Seven Rules for Poultry Raisers: Here are seven safe rules for get- ting the most money from the sum- mer flock: 1. Produce infertile eggs by re- moving the roosters from the fiock in the summer time. 2. Provide clean nests and keep eggs clean. 3. Do not wash eggs. Gather eggs twice daily during the summer to prevent them from being heated by the hen. 5. Keep them in a cool, dry place, away from the flies. 6. Market them at least twice each week. - 7. Insist that 'they be bought on a quality graded basis. Breaking Up Broody Hens Neglect in breaking up broody hens means a serious reduction in the number 01 eggs produced by' Indiana farm Hocks. Confinement of broody 'hens in a: slat bottom -coop has proved satis- factory. 'This- coop should be covered on • top with slat or' wire sides and may -be placed outside, preferably under -a tree to insure shade. A slat bottom coop prevents fowls from be- coming comfortable and these soon lose their broody traits. Common practice is to place hens in the coop for three days, releasing them in the evening. If they return to the nest they are returned to "jail" for three more days. This us- uallybreaks up the✓ most stubborn sitters. Removing' ,the broody hens from thenest the first evening she sits is a ''very important factorin breaking up broodiness. If hens are allowed to, be Undisturbed a "few days it re - .quires more time to break up broodi- ness and ,this:results. in a longer per- iod of :: non; production. THE.
