My '| soil is sandy loam. What analysis of fertilizer would you recommend for potatoes and how much should I use per acre to give me paying results? Answer.--Your question is rather difficult to answer since you do mot tell anything regarding the subsoil. I will assume, however, that your soil is sandy loam to a considerable depth. There are at least two things that may be holding up greater - results from the fertilizers that you have ap- plied to your potatoes. First, your sandy soil may lack or ganic matter or plant fibre, This is obtained by turning under green man- ure or by adding strawy manure. With- out organic matter your soil lacks power to catch and hold moisture for the potato crop. Moreover, land short of organic matter is deficient in a medium for the growth of soil bac: teria. 'This microscopic life has to do with breaking down of the soil and of thé materials that are added to it so as to bring them into forms that will nourish the crops grown on the soil. Fertilizers add plant nutrients, but they do not ad® any considerable amount of organic matter. They do cause an increased root growth but usually not sufficient to keep the or- ganic matter of a soil up for the pro- duction of potatoes. The second condition that may be limiting your soil's response to fer tilizers is the reaction of the soil. That is, whether the soil is acid, neu- tral or alkaline. I would not be sur prised to find your soil quite sour or acid in reaction. If such is the case, much of the phosphate that has been applied in the form of fertilizer has been locked up in very slowly avail able forms in combinations with iron and aluminum in the soil, The way to correct this is to lime the soil. Top- dress it with ground limestone at the rate of at least one ton per acre, pre ferably on plowed soil before you be- gin to work it. Broadcast the lime- stone on top and work it in by disking and harrowing. The Department of Chemistry, On- tario Agricultural College, the past vear conducted a total of thirty-one farm tests of variqus fertlizers on po- tatoes, grown in leading potato sec tions throughout the province. The average yield of all fertilizers was 261 bushels against 208 bushels for the unfertilized areas. This leaves a gain of 53 bushels per acre, which is quite close to the average increase obtained per acre in the last four years from the use of fertilizers. Where six different fertilizers were testd on fiftecn good potato farms, the highest increase per acre was obtain- ed from 4-8-10 applied at the rate of 760 1bs. per acre. This gave an in- crease of 57.8 bushels per acre over no fertilizer, 2-12-6 fertilizer applied at the same rate obtained an increase of 45.9 bushels, It is our general ob- servation that for late potatoes 4-8-10 fertilizer gives excellent results. 5 This should be thoroughly worked into the soll at the time the potatoes are dropped. Do not drop the pota- toes directly on top of the fertilizers nor the fertilizer directly on top of the potatoes. If you have a potato plant. er equipped with fertilizer attachment, this takes care of the proper appliea- tion of fertilizers. If not, after the furrow has been opened for the seed potatoes, scatter the fertilizer down the furrow, then pull in a sittle soil over the fertilizer before the potatoes are dropped. Proceed as usual and your results should be satisfactory," provided youn have chosen good seed : and have taken precautions during the! growing season to control potato dis- eases and insects that'attack the crop. C. A.--Please advise on growing bar-' ley on river bottom land. It is excel lent soil, very rich and well drained. It raises a large crop of corn which is apt to be caught by the frost. The soil is loose and practically clean. Would you advise plowing or just disking it up before sowing barley? Answer.--River bottom land is quite, an uncertain quantity, The nature of the soll will depend very largely on the types of soll upriver through which the stream flows. Barley is a suitable crop to grow under such con- ditions since it is short seasoned and gets out of the way before frosts cut short the growing season. About the only fertilizer that would help under these circumstances would be super- phosphate at the rate of two bags to the acre. It should hasten the ripen- ing of the harley and produce a better sample. , If the land is clean I would not plow it but give it a thorough disk- ing before the barley is sown. B. S.--T have eighteen acres of light sandy soil that has not been plowed | for six years. This I would like to! put in beans nest spring. I'am think- | ing of fertilizing it. Can you tell me the kind to use, also the amount and the best way to apply it? Answer.--In co-operative (ests which this department has conducted iu the bean growing areas in the past two years, the benefit of a soil being ueu- | tral or slightly alkaline has been es-! tablished. As you are probably aware, ! it is a tendency of sandy solls to lose' their lime, which means that they be-! come acid in reaction. While beans are not as sensitive as alfalfa or| clover to such conditions, yet they thrive best on soll that is slightly al kaline. For this reason, 1 would sug- gest that you have your soil tested for acidity and if it shows any degree of sourness, have lime applied to it be- fore you plant beans. An early spring application of lime at the rate of one ton to the acre will put the soil in good shape. Then at the time of seed- ing your béans, sow the fertlizer through the tubes on each side of the row, and if you can regulate it, a small amount through the tube where the beans are running. Best results have been obtained from the use of 4-126 applied at the rate of two bags per acre, sown in th8 manner described. Canadian Authors Will - Visit Britain Toronto.--The Canadian Authors' Association is going to tour the Un- ited Kingdom this summer. Decision to proceed with the plan was reached at a special meeting of the national executive committee of the association here last week. It was resolved tha', as many besides members have ex- pressed a wish to join, only a limited number of these should be included. The party, which will sail from Que- bec on July 1, will be received by the Lord Mayor of London at the Man- sion House on July 10 and will also Lold mectings, in conjunction with Old Country authors. Sir James Barrie and Rudyard Kip- ling have pronised to take part and many other distinguished British wri*- ers expect to join in the reception to the visitors, The Prince of Wales, the Prime Minister, Ramsay MacDon- ald, and Right Hon. Stanley Baldwin, have expressed a wish to welcome the Canadian travellers. SH Hasten slowly, and without losing heart put your work twenty times up- on the anvil.--Bolleau. The Little Fellow's Ignorance is Refreshing Party of Norweigians To Explore Antartic Oslo, Norway.--Capt. Hjalmar Rii- ser-Larsen has turned his back again ou Norway for the lonely wastes of the Antarctic. A noted explorer of the Arctic and Antarctic, he now heads a three-man expedition setting out to map and sur- vey many thousands of miles of land. Rilser-Larsen is a captain in the Norwegian navy. He accompanied Roald Amundsen and Nobile on their North Pole expeditions, His companies are Hallvard Devold and Olav Kjellbotn. Devold is a well- known explorer and arctic trapper and has been Norwegian police commis sioner on East Greenland. Kjellbotn is a veteran of the arctic and one of Nor- way's best skiers. The expedition will land at Enderby Land, on the Antarctic continent, and plans to follow the coast for 3,500 miles to Louis Phillippe Land, south of Cape Horn. Great parts of the coast are unknown. They will be ex- plored and surveyed. mi -------- Poland's alcoholic monopoly cut retail prices of its products. has ity : ~ once sensible ang tender. Iu | ment. differently.

The fact that in small things he sometimes seemed to choose the pleasant second- best, and, as he himself realized, rath. er eagerly to accept the little success es to which he could easily win, should make us appreciate not less, but more, the rightness and the goodness of his larger choices, He was very sensitive to praise, and it would be wrong to say that he was always wisely praised. But he was sensible enough and strong enough to take flattery, in the long run, for what it was worth; and he valued the affection that was critical, not flattering. "Because he was human, he enjoy- ed his popularity The quality which won it was, I think, his power of lik: ing people, and making them feel, because he liked them all, not only at their ease with him, but also happy and friendly with one another. His company had this effect at home, and in his rooms at King's, in his garden at Grancheste, in London, and I am sure wherever he went in Germany and America. Certainly the most var _ ied people used to delight in it, and he, for his part, was delighted when some of the incongruous persons he liked, unexpectedly also like one an- other, "He was in some ways like a child, very frank and simple. generally knowing what he wanted, and, if he could see it, taking it; but also where his affections were concerned, most loyal and devoted."--From "Rupert Brooke: A Memoir," by Edward Marsh (New York: John Lane). rr pee nay Peer and Fiancee Too Young To Marry It was announced recently ia London that the engagement of Vis. count Selby and Miss Veronica Bris. coe-George has been broken off Le cause their mothers consider they are both "too young."
