Bull For Service Tonsorial Parlors Mount Stephen Once Was A Barefoot Boy George Stephen, whose death oc- curred on Tuesday night of last week was horn In 1829 ut Forres In HanlY- Iniv Scotland, the son of William Stephen, u carpenter. His life story- is a romance of early .struggle against poverty, of n rnpltl rise after he came to Canada In 1850 to a commondiiiK position in the business world, of pioneer work in railroad count ruc- tion, which culminated in the connec- ting of the Atlantic and the Pacific by the Canadian I'aclfic Hallway, 'of the aquisition of a great fortune, much of which he gave away to rel- atives, and finally of an old age spent as a peer In history home known as lirockc-H Hall Hertfordshire In the Old Country, which had at times hei-n occupied by two prime ministers of I-:N;-|,-II:I|. Lord Melbourne and Lord Palnerston. Asa hoy Stephen pUiyud hum-footed in the streets of his native village and at an early age was lirst a ghep- hc-rd on the moors noarl.y. and th.-n ii clu-k in a draper's store. Co ml UK to Canada he entered tho store of nm-le in Montreal, a cloth merchant. He KOOII distinguished himself In astuteness and bu/Miie.ss ability and ultimately bought out his uncle-. Steadily enlarging the business and his own status in tho community, | Stephen invested his savings in Baiilc of Montreal stock, hemming eventu- ally one of iix largest shareholders. He became president of tin- hank mid about this time Stephen i-ainu into liiisiii'-ss lulaiions with Donald Smith, a cousin, aflerwards to li'-conio Lord S- rathcona.

I (Contributed by Ontario Department at ' Atjricnlt uro, Torunto.) Lands tiuit li;iv,' been farmed for half a ct'.ituty usually show a de- crease in crop production! A few farm 1 ; that li.nc- l,, c n well managed ' iu tin various sen-lions of Ontario are still v vry productive. Sonic have been so depleted of HIH plant food mater- ials lhat wi'iv ;:ccm.iul.-itr<l during the period of foixst development as to bo unprofUablo undt-r Ullage to- day. Previous to clearing and crop- ping tho procc.ss was accumulating fertility. Sine.' croppiiu: has been | practiced the process lia.f been re- v< T.si-d and ."iiplHunted liy one of ex- penditure. Under a farming practice that exhausts ilie humus and returns no vegetable matu r t!io tsoll kardeui qalrkly, ilrlrs out and bocnmcs non- productive, simply beruu.se tlu-re U neither food nor soil life to release and] to Ki'owint; plants. Mineral Kk input* liecoine ICxlmiisted. Kroqtipntly cr. nf ihe mineral ele- ments lime, potash or phosphorous Is exhausted by cropping or leach- in!,-. Nitrogen rxliaustien is a very I'oinnion condition notice, ililc in lands that ha\ e been ctiltlvatod for more than t\venly live yearn. After all, the soil is only a storehouse for those elements iviiuiivd In tho life pro- ooss, s of tin' food plants that the l.inuiT i:row:<. In that storehouse ! various forms of life arc- at work convertliii; the unusable to a usable or food condition for the plant.

Plant I-'IMH| MUM Be Supplie<l. The plant can develop only to the extent tl>al food in supplied to per- | 111 It growth. Many of the thin crops noticeable In many sections of the province nre 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, it we have rob- hi'cl the soil of some fertility element to a Point wtiert- we HOC- n decline In yields w; should return to tho soil what \ve have- taken away If we are to expect full yields again. Cropping will pxhuust a *oil if the system of rotation or mamigement does not provide for ample return of the ea- senllal element!;, nitrogen, potash and phosphorous. Kffeets of cropping are not noticed on tho really well managed farms where clovers and other legume plants are prominent in the crop rotation, where the crops grown are fed to live stock and where some attention is paid to keeping the mineral elements, potash, phosphor- ous and lime, abundantly supplied.
