Seully, Sanford and Gro- | | ? z ARTIFICIAL HUNLS | 1S HADE ON FARMS Process Is Inexpensive and, Available to All Parmers | 1 Washington, Dec. 20 UP—The | farmer has turned to modern sci- | ence for solutions of his humus, problems. | Experiments by H. W. Warner | of the National Fertilizer associa- | tion are declared to prove that an | artificial humus can be made from | | leaves, grass cuttings, weeds and | other waste materials of vegetable rigin. The process is inexpen- sive and available to every person who tills land. | Last year Warner planted v as late as November, as a base for | his artificial products. By the fol lowing April he had several inch of top growth which he cut and piled with various farm and ger- | den wastes. Between the layers and on top of the pile he sprinkled |a commercial preparation known as “Adco,” or, in lieu of that, a mixture of ammonium sulphate and fine-ground limestcne, and kept the pile moist. In short time he had a well-rooted composition. | which he plowed into the soil with good results. Manufacturers ‘of fertilizer al- ways have recognized the impor- tance of humus in the soil. They describe it as soll “life.” Plant food may be obtained in numerous commercial forms, but humus alone has kept the "land in good physical condition, They know, too, that keeping 8 good stock of decaying organic matter in the sofl is the most dif- ficult and often the least satisfac tory phase of the farmer's soil problems. cheer to Washington's idge (above, in white) is shown dis- FREE FREE TRAORDINARY Our XMAS GIFT ‘ TO OUR PATRONS While They Last THIS BEAUTIFUL WATER SET Consisting of 1 PITCHER and 6 GLASSES Given FREE With Every Can of GERMAN MAID MALT SYRUP Hop Flavored OUR SPECIALS FOR XMAS Kleer Bru—1 can 75¢ Mule Brand 2 for $1.00 2 for 90c “Where Quality Meets Price” GOURSON’S MALT STORE 40-42 HARTFORD AVE.

Warner explains that in the ar- tificial product the lime provides a favorable chemical reaction and the ammonium sulphate furnishes the nitrogen necessary for maxi- 1aum bacterial development and rapid decomposition. The mixture usually recommended is approxi- mately one part by weight of am- monium sulphate and two parts of wxround limestone. This mixture is used at the rate of abovt one pound for eight or 10 pounds of dry straw | or leaves. * | IFIND EVIDENCE OF OLD ESKIMO WORKS Possessed Surprisingly High Degres of Gfllture Washington, Dec. 20 (#—Frozen | refuse heups and ruined huts that | once were villages on the shores of $t.
