(b) "Vvliat kind ot ferliliicr would you u.>-o on a lawn and how should it be used?" â€" J. M. Went worth Co. Answer: (a) It is comi.ion prac- tice in 'i.laiio to apply fertilizer for sprini; .-rops at Ine .same time aa the spri'iK jjrains are .si wn. I'his la accomplishecl IhrouRli the combina- tion ferti...,' i-Riiiin drill, if a fer- tilizer currying nitronen were ap- plied in the fall for ^:prin|>: crops, It is likely tiiat much of the .soluble nl trogeti would lie wasted liy leacliinK- Phosphoric acid would be held In the -oil in combinations with lime, and i'otash would form cufnbinatluiis which would prevent much of itk loss. It is claimed by some that by fall application the fertilizer becomes more availab e to the crop This has not been (.roven experimentally, c.i- pecially at tlio rate at which ferti- lizers are applied to Canadian crops. The biit udvuntuKc -'f sprinj; applica- tion through the fertilize) -^rain drill is that fertilize! is deposited fairly neai the grain seed This re- â- utts in the fertilizer kI^iiik tlic grain » rapid start 11 the fertilizer were applied in the fall, it is not likely that when the grain is sown in the spnng that the grain rows would follow near where the fertili- zer liad lieen sown, r.ence the grain on fall-sown rertilizei may not get the early start thai would result where fertilizer is sown in the spring. Separate ap)iiiralion of fer tilizei ani urain also increases the cost of seeding. (b) It IS difficult to Miswer this (luestioii without more Information regarding the type o'' soil, the re- nc-tion .if llie soil. inc. the drainage of the land, but in general good re- sults shoiih. lie obtained from ap- plying a top-dressing of such fertili- zer as 'i-lO-ri or 4 l2-(> at the rate of 1-H lb. per sciuaiu yard.

Is exactly the same word here translated wind. Man does not con- trol the wind as he does not control the Holy Spirit. "Nicodemus answered and said un- to him. How can thoso things bo?" The emphasis should bo on the word how. No one will ever be able to fti'ly. absolutely answer that question except by referring such things to >,od. "Jesus answered and said unto him. A't thou the teacher of Israel, and understamlest not these things? The Old Teslamcnt often spoko of the work of the Holy Spirit, and Ch'ist shows his astonishment that one learned in the Old Testament should find this fiiiulameiital te:iching ccm cerniiig the necessity for the Holy Spirit's work so amazinfjly new. â- 'Verily, verily. I say unto thee. Wo speak that which we know and bear witness of that which we have seen; and ye receive not our witness." The lilurals of this verso are proba' ly rhetorical. Christ knew the Father and testified of him. He came to bear witness of the Father and of all the !;roat spiritual truths lli.Tt reflate to Cod "If 1 tolU yiui earthly Ihiiig.s." Those facts and phenomena of the higher life as a class which have their seat iiid manifestation on earth: which be- long in their realization to our pres- ent existence which are seen in their ( cinseciuences like the issues of biilh which are sensible in their ijffecis like the action of the wind.

(i. M., Wellington Co. Answer: (a) Our experiments In- dicate that 'J-12-10 fertilizer gives the largest yields of high (juality barley. IVlalsters report that such barley is preferred. (b) Fertilizer applied to oats will certainly help the stand of grass and legumes mixture seeded with the oats. This has been reported In a largo number of our experiments and is well substantiated. It is true that the fertilizer also increaiies the growth of the oats, but the fertilizer is also of decided benefit to the seeding.
