THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Soclety Rethel—A town of northern France, 31 miles southwest of Mezieres by rail and 23 miles northwest of Reims, on the right bank of the Aisne and tae Ardennes Canal. Wool spinning; the Weaving of Mght woolen fabrics, and the manufacture of farm implements are the principal industries. The town is of Roman origin. Its popu- lation is approximately 6,000.

It may seem a queer time o' year to talk about fertilizers. But it isn't Fertilizer tall is always.on time, if it's worth talking at all. In my own personal experience. I've found that the very best time of all to plan out my next year's fertilizer is ‘while the results of this season’s work are right before my eyes. So I just bought what I could af- ford of the costlier grades and tried a lot of cheap lime and ground rock for the remainder. The season has been moist and rather cool. We have had less than a half-dozen real hot days, and even fewer hot nights. At the same time, the rainfall has been not excessive but frequent. We have had no drenching, soaking, three-day storms, but showers every day or two. The brooks are low, almost as if in a drouth. But the upper surface of the garden is moist and has been all sum- mer. 1 haven't been able to raise a dust-mulch the whole season because the surface never got dry enough to make dust. Why, when my first cel- ery got big enough to need handling, it had to stand two full weeks un: touched, because during all that time, though there wasn't rain enough to affect the springs, there were showers every day to keep the top dirt along- side that celery wet. We all fertilized or manured, more or less, last spring, for our crops. Now the crops are here. We have an ex- hibit spread out right under our noses of the results. When could there pos- sibly be a better time to study our failures and plan to better even our successes? Now, what are the lessons thess ana many -like experiences ought to teach me for next year? T confess that the facts puzzle mie. It has been, on the whole, a good sea= son for my sorts of crops. But I can't, thus far, get fhuch real light on what my manures and fertilizers aid tow- ards making it such. I can see what the weather has done. I can see what the results of our frequent showers have been. Does it mean that was so much humus and plant-fool stored up in my gardens from past manurings that all they needed was frequent wstering to release it? Would my crops have been earlier and Only, | beg you, don't make the mistake which some farmers do of ascribing every failure and every suc- cess sokly to the right or wrong use of fertilizer. That's what the testi- monial writers of the commercial fer- tilizers do.

Thorn—A fortress town of West Prussta, on the yistula, 12 miles from the Russian frontier. Its position commanding the passage of the Vie- tula makes it a point of strategic im- portance; it was strongly fortified in 1818, and in 1§78 was converted into a fortress of the first class. The de- fensive works consist of a circle of 13 outlying forts, about two and a half miles from the center of town. Its Ppopulation is close to 50,000. Thorn carries on an active trade in_grain, timber, wine, groceries and minerals. They have their uses as antidotes to some systemic poison or aids to na- ture. He resorts to them when the di- sagnosis calls for them. But he is us- ually the first to admit that any real and permanent “cure” is the work of Nature, and that"the best service he can do his patient is to help Nature in | its curative processes_or, at least, re~ move some obstacles from its way.

The yield is the biggest the patch has ever given me. The quality is high, barring the scab which infests some bits of it. And here comes in one puzzie which I can’t yet solve. The tubers which grow in the wet swampy perts are invariably smooth, fair, scabless; those growing in the dry parts of the rows are invariably scab- ®y.
