The Business of Farming, --VI. How to know what to use.—(Continued.)--We do not wish to prolong the discussion of the point beyond t aluablo information, but we. have re- ceived so ninny enquiries bearing on the analysis of the soil within the last few menthe that it ..,toms time that this point was clearly stated so that men who are anxious in improve their soils would not be working along unproductive lines. In fact, we have heard of men going into fields and ola,itning that they can make a ready chemical analysis of the soil and tell the fernier from the chemical analysis just what he should er=e. Our state- ment of the faets of the case show how absurd t.hi•s cluhn is, We wish only to supplement our statement with that of certain leading soll scientists regarding this feature. What Analyses Can and Cannot Show. "It must not he understood that these 366 analyses will give all the information needed about Iowa sails and how to deal with them. Chemical analyses cannot do that. For instance, they cannot show just what fertil- izers are necessary and in exactly what amount they should be applied. This is true mainly because chemical analyses merely show what elements the soil contains and cannot show how much of those elements is available far plant food and how much is unavailable as previously pointed out. Chenseal analyses inay show that two soils contain the sante amount of phosphorus, but in one enough of the phosphorus may be available to insure good crops and in the other so little as to inure crop failure, and chemical analysis will not show that difference."—W. 11. Stevenson, Prof. of Soils, Iowa State College of Agriculture. Fertilizers and Crops. "It was formerly thought that a chemical analysis of any soil would readily furnish information regarding the amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassum, which would enable one to know whether any of these con- stituents was lacking and to what extent, if any, one needed to add to the soil the deficient constituent or constituents in order to insure an abundant crop. It is not difficult for a trained analytical chemist to determine the amount of each plantfood constituent in a soil, showing the total amounts held as a store for the future, but such results furnish no information as to how much of these total amounts •is immediately available for crops growth . The actual value of soil analysis in determining posi- tively and definitely the plantfood needs of the soil has been and is still a matter of dispute. All agree that the results of soil analysis are nega- tively helpful in enabling one to reach conelusions, when ,it- is shown that the total amount of any plantfood constituent is present in very small amount or wholly absent However, there appears to be no general agree- ment as to what shall be regarded as the lowest amount of any particular plantfood constituent calling for special addition to meet crop growths." Van Slyke in his book, "Fertilizers and Crops," page 408. Dr. A. D. Hall, late Director of Rothe -meted Experiment Station, Eng- land, in a report before the British Association for the Advancement of Science, 1910, page 985, in speaking of the soil survey, which he was con- ducting, states as follows: "Mechanical analysis is considered the most important of the various determinations made in the course of soil analysis, and it is believed that for ngeiculteral purposes the size of the soil particles is more significant than their actual composition. This is emphasized by the controlling Influence of the size of particle upon available water supply and tillage.' Now it is not our purpose to make a lot of destructive statements and leave nothing constructive, hence we ask the question again, "How shall a man know what to use?" It is now general knowledge that certain types' of soil contain characteristic supp'ies of plantfood as noted by the tables' given previously. This is true the world over. It is furthermore well'. known that farm crops have their own characteristic individual needs for the various constituents of pantfood. These are concisely shown in the following table: • Farm Crop Regiurements. AVAILABLE PLANTFOOD. N'trogen Phosphoric CROP. (ammonia) Acid Potash Potatoes, mangels, car- rots, sugar beets.... Good supply Medium Abundance Turnip Small supply Abundance Small supply Wheat, oats, rye, barley Fair supply Abundance Small supply Corn (husking) Small supply Abundance Small supply Corn (silage) Fair supply Abundance Small supply Meadows, pastures and fodder crops Good supply Medium Steell supply No matter what source this plantfood comes from, whether from the soil, from manure, er from fertilizers, the crops must have ,it, and that in abundant supply, if they are to make largest growth and produce fruit of best quality. With these two facts in mind then, the practical business man on the faros knows from the results which he is obtaining from his crops whether or not the plantfood of his soils is properly balanced, If not properly balanced he can by the use of manure and fertilizers regulate his practices so that the material added will make up for the deficiencies ✓a e sea' „aeseeeasashhh.

Makes a Certain Number of Chirps in a Minute, Says Naturalist. Many insects have an instinct for cadence. Phey sing their high-pitched ittle songs in unison with a marvel- ous rhythm. In the case of the field cricket the temperature of the air plays an importe,nt part in determin- ing the tempo of its song. An indavtclual cricket, says a writer in the Amenlea0n Naturalist, chilies with no great regularity when he is - by himself, and las chirping is inter- mittent, especially in the dlaytime, At night, however, when great nem - bore of lerlelcets are chlirpittg, the regularity is astonishing; you hoar all the crickets in an field dhirping synchronously, keeping time as if led by the wand of a conductor, The rest- ing 'spell of individual crickets you cannot, of course, distinguish; but when they begin again they not only follow the same •tempe, hut also come in exactly the same beat as the other e.lickets in the field. The crickets in the adjoining field make the sante number of chirps in a minute, but al- alwoy:s following a different beat— as you may easily perceive by listen- ing. The frequency of the Chirping seems to be entirely detei'ndned lily the temperatat ; in fact, it is pm - ethic to [..nope .. the tfrnpeeatere ly counting the number of calcis per minute, At sixty degrees Fmhtenheit the rate is eighty at minute.
