THE FARMERS’ TO FARMERS EXTRAORDINARY FARMERS GET EXTRAORDI- NARY RESULTS K(Written Specially for The Bulletin.) Talking the other day @bout hay d fertilizers, I expressed the belief t & free use of commarcial fertil- also = d_th u.‘beau.:‘t' That, gem- expressed the’ , gen- berally, the fertilizer would cost more the increased crop it brought Fwould sell for, i .8ince then I've seen an account of farming of Mr. Edmund Mortimer Grafton end Upton, Mass., who is to make money out of hay by use of commerciaal fertilizers. In long interview with a representa- of The New England Homestead Phe tells his story of hay and peaches. PThe peach part we'll drop out of con- tsideration. The hay part is one in {which every farmer may naturally be to0 take interest.. For every a1, no matter what else he raises, raises hay. In the first pldace it seems that Mr. EMortimer owns about 825 acres, of #which he mows something like seventy. e cuts regularly & full three tons to acre; last summer between 240 and {260 tons from the seventy acres. He fuses 600 pounds of fertilizer to_ the acre which he reckons costs him “about 1810 an acre”. Fe sold his hay last fwinter in Worcester, eight miles from Mhe farm, at $24, $24.50 and $25 e ton, *delivered loose. It i8 not stated but may, spose, be assumed that the average hay scrop thereabouts is in the vicinity of two tons ito the u‘l’o.th‘&tv;éth l?&r:i as- ! it apears . Mortimer Wmm his yield: a full ton to the jmcre by the use of $10 worth of com- imercial fertilizer, and that he sells ¥ extra ton at $24 or $25, indicat- " a gross profit of $14 or $15 a ton jabove fertilizer cost. Mr, Mortimer I!Mg'n”t say so in just those words. He idoes say: “It's all & matter of work lnd intelligent application of proper fertilizer * * *These dry seasons.Il et my crop started early.. That's the ‘whole secret of growing three tons to an acre in a dry year, and I do it by fertilizing just as soon as the ground opens up. Usually this is about the ‘middle of April good start when other farms is just getting above ground.” »1 quote that much In full, because ithere is an idea In it which might be sworth considering by a good many of s, Grass isn't a frost-tender crop mnd isn’t liable to inj from spring ¥reczes following its _- It certainly ceems reasonable that, the earlier it ‘begins to grow, the longer season it s7ill have ‘and the bigger it ought to %e. It isn't necessary that one should arso commercial fertilizer to start it, Good yard or stable manure, thinly spread as a top-dressing, will do it. That we all know. The ques- tion about that is whether we've got E,mmxh and whether we have the time put it on. To come back to Mr. Mortimer’s afit from the use of commercial ter- of an apparent $14‘or $15 a ton, fi.ll stated that the price he got for ‘was $4 a ton over the regular price of baled hay in the same Those of us who have lived long prices Q! puts Mr. Mortimer's hay into the lass of exceptio: na. For some reason the f to $4 a ton more for the Mor- was sell- for. This class 1s always and Mr. Mortimer, they could all get, 'om !ugflhx trade ‘Wor T, |8 fancy prices as the exceptional ise such hay as Mpy, Mortimer they dn't the $4 a ton he now W ), el " Toaetict ‘re by ayy e mornad 3 Now about the hrflllwsm Mr. Mortl. mer mixes his own, the in- svedients in carload lots an: in of the fact that he used to be himseif in the business of selling fertilizers, it may be assumed without too harsh a straining of credulity that he buys them mighty close. He mixes 900 pounds of basic slag, 600 pounds of nitrate of soda, 300 pounds of nitrate of potash and 200 pounds of tankage, getting something - whic] analyzes about 8 per cent. ammounia, 8 per cent. phosphoric acid and 10 per cent. pot- ash. He uses this as a top dressing at the rate of 600 pounds to the acre as early in April as the soil will take it up. This, as has already been sald, he reports costs him about $10 an acre, I have figured up what 600 pounds of those exact ingredients, as priced to me by a co-operative buying associa- tion selling below market rates, would have cost me last spring at my rail- road station. It would have come to $11.84 instead of §10. This In ton, not carload lots. At retail the same in- gredients- would have cost nearly $13. To this, if one wants to know the rcal expense of the fertilizer to him, must be added the cost of hauling from the railroad, and the cost of mixing on the barn floor. This last varies with vary- ing conditions, but in my case wou.l have amounted to about $2.50 a ton. Now the average farmer can’t buy fertilizer with quite as much shrewd- nesg, nor quite so low, whatever tae quentity, as a man who was brought up In the fertilizer business and knows all its -inside .tricks from years’ ex- perienée as a seller. That's where Mr. Mortimer has one advantage over the rest of us. Furthermore, the average farmer can't buy his ingredients in carload lots. Why, a single 40-ton car- load of nitrate of soda would have cost considerably over $3,000 at last season’s prices! The most of us have got to buy in ton or even'in bag lots, and pay the big difference. - ‘In_other words. if every little farmer in Worcescter county should go to raising hay by the Mortimer method, the ruling price for their hay would at once fall by at least $4 a ton. This would bring the apparent profit down to about $10 a ton. Then the average small farmer would have to pay about $5 a ton more for his ingredients thaa the Mortimer cost, as given, which would cut the apparent profit to $5 a ton, If, as in my case, it cost him $2.50 a ton to wet the stuff from the railroad and have it mixed, this would azain cut the apparent profit to $2.50 o ton. Taking one year with another, I have found that it costs me just about $3 a ton to cu% dry and barn my hay. Charging this $3 up against that extra ton the fertilizer would bring, it figures out a net loss of 50 cents on the ton. An leaves wholly out of consid- cration the extra cost of hauling that extra ton, to market, loading it at the ‘barn and unloading it at delivery. [ Now, 1 don’t want to be understood ag criticizing or doubting one of Mr. Mortimer's figures. Not even as crit- icizing his method of raising hay. Not even as questioning its perfect wisdom for him, in his exceptional circum- stances, and considering his manifest- ly exceptional business ability and un- usual business opportunities. Far from it. I assume that Mr. Mortimer knows his own business a vast deal better tban I do, and conducts it with ad- mirable wisdom. But I do not believe it reasonable to think that what one exceptional Mor~ timer can do, seven thousand common everyday John Farmers on seven thou- sand little seven-by-nine tucked up farms can do. Any one of us may well learn some lessons of detail from his success,which shall suggest to us plans by which, in our quite different environments, we may somwhat enlarge our own outputs, That idea of earlier spring top dress- ing for hay is one thing worth trying out a little. . If we could only get over our nar- row individualism and co-operate in both buying and selling, we could come nearer to Mr. Mortimer’s economies in fertilizer cost. But there seems to be about as little prospect of that as of the millenium in northeastern France, Most_of us are too durned afraid :2“;:31’(” :‘];sa might m.vls a.rdolln,!' to ng to save a couple of our with his ald. & S I've done conslderable experimentin with commercial fertilizer, in a smflfl way and with small quantities such as Gor, Mhiey” ate mIEtS ueetel cnd prot. 3 use and prof- itable, zhtlvm They are mighty extravi t, wrongly used, 2 For and iruck erops, on old g uf gelling ai ru Tices, I couldn't get along witnout them. i ‘Avoid Impure Milk for Infants ana Invalids HORLICK’S It means the Original and Genuine MALTED NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1914 can make them up to fit what I want— one sort for asparagus, and auother sort for cabbage, and another sort for peas, and so on. Stable manure comes to you already mixed and you cam’t vary its content. All you can dn is to put on less or more. - Some crops I want to feed with four times as much potash as the heaviest possible appli- cation of stable manure would yleld. Yet that some heavy application would give the land doudle the amount of nitrogen the erop could wholesomely use. I'can make the medicine just what I want, by supp.ementing the lacks of stable manure from the chem- icals bags. . But, whenever I've tried commercial fertilizer on grass, while I've generally increased the' crop, I've never yet in- creased it enough to pay back the fer- tilizer money spent on it. I don’t doubt that others have done it. ' I don’t doubt that Mr, Mortimer has done it. But I am still of the opinion that those who have are ox- ceptions, and that their results are not likely to be reached by us common fel- lows. When | used to go to district school the visiting commissioner was in the hahbit of telling us every trip that each one of us lads was a possible president of the .United States. I suppose schcol boys are still told the same thins. But—while the fact is undeniable that some boy now In the primary grade of some school ‘will probably some time be president, each _indi-idual Doy wants to remember that, according to the last census, the chances are about 2 hundred million to one tnat it won't be_he, - Exceptions may prove a rule, but they don’t make one. THE FARMER, New London’s Republican Strength Manifested at Election and Other Times—Mayor Has Decid- ing Vote in Council—Popularity of Senator Brandegee— The Congressional Co»ntut. The recent town election, combined with the city election—for in New London there is no dual government — shows plainly that the normal repub- lican maJority is about 350, and that when a democrat is elected by the ful vote of the city it is due to the sup- port of many who are registered as re- publicans. This was shown when James R. May and Abel P. Tanner were elected representatives to the state legislature and by the vote given Alton T. Miner for state senator, to say nothing of the repeatedly big vote gtv- en Mr, Mahan, larger than to any oth- er man that was nominated by dem- ocrats for any office. In the last elec- tion—that of Monday—the democrats saved two of the five aldermen by re- duced majorities in the respective wards, and the minority man on the board of selectmen. This result makes a tie in the court of common council, with the mayor holding the deciding vote on all matters, even the election of officers within the gift of the coun- cil. One vote switched from the party when the-vote for tax collector, cor- poration counsel, charity commission- er, building inpector, and so on, means the election of some fellow other than caucus nominee, it being the custom for the member to hold party caucus prior to the council meeting when these city officials are elected, by bal- lot—by secret ballot. Like conditions have existed before, and members have ignored caucus ac- tion and voted for and elected mem- bers of -the minority party, as repre- sented in the council, for it is known that there are some office holders in New London who are not in hearty ac- cord with the members of their party in the council, and would not occasion much surprise if some of the office now held by democrats were handed ocut to republicans. The democrats have plac- ed a republican in office, Charity Com- missioner Prentis, and with a good working majority in the ‘council will probably do so again after the organ- ization of the new town council, and may be magnanimous enough to hand over a few other offices to friends in the opposite party. Years ago when - member of the court of common council voted an of- fice to one of the opposite party the act was termed treachery, and the of- fender was called a traitor to party. But that was years ago, and condi- tions have changed slnce the late ‘George Williams resigned the mayor- alty because his democratic associates in "the council voted republicans into office. No case is on record in New London where a republican _council placed democrats on guard, but the cases are numerous where democratic councilmen have turned the trick, and they may do it again in the very near future, and they may not. There are members on the democratic side who take but little stock in the way that some of the city offices have been man- aged, and may be in favor of a change. If not given opportunity to have a democrat succeed a democrat there is likelihood of a vote or two being cast for the republican candidate. One can- not always tell of the possibilities of the political game, While the next month Is in Its In- flm:i/ th E“p'. of ‘Connecticut will be given a first opportunity to vote di- rect for a United States senator, and Senator Frank B. Brandegee will be given the honor of-being the first to be elected . in this state under the changed law in regard to the election of United States senator. It so hap- pPens that New London is a part of Connecticut and that Frank is a native thereof, It also happens that New London is a republican city and Frank is a republican. He will sure get all the republican votes of the town and a great many democratic votes besides, and it is safe to predict that he will receive a larger vote in his home city than was ever accorded any candidate for political office that had political op- Ponent, or perhaps larger than any man whose name ever appeared on a political ticket in the city, Party lines will become very elastlc in New London during the vote for United States senator. There's not a man in the city, republican, democrat, progressive, soclalist or even prohibi: tionist, who can say a word against the character of Frank Bosworth Brandegee, and not one who could not vote for him with a clear conscience, |save perhaps the socialists, who are pledged to vote for none but socialists, and Frank is far removed from that branch of politics. Senator Brandegee bears his great honors lightly, and to his New Lnnndon friends he is’ the same Frank Brande- gee that he was before he was in po- sition to preside at sessions of the United States senate when matters of the greatest importance were under consideration. He is still “Our Frank,* and he will practically receive the vote of every voter in the city of New Lon- MILK o fl ’cfi 50' 9 The Food-Drink for all Ages.

A dele- gation of democrats even called at the wspaper office and urged discontinu- e of the Brandegee boom, as they termed it, They were told that the | booming would be continued so long as Brandegee was being seriously eon- sidered as a candidate, and in the | event of Mr. Brandegee being nomin- ated for governor he would reeive the heartiest support of the only demo- cratic newspaper in eastern Connecti- cut. Even at that time when Mr. Mr. Brandegee was hardly known in the politics of the state the loeal dem- ocratic paper was with him, and so was the majority of democrats of his home town, where he was best known. Since then the Brandegee popularity has increased, and is not gonfined to the members of the republican party, There are democrats in New London & Bteat_honor {o vote for Frank B. Brandegee for Unit- ers throughout the state. ed States senator, and there are o(h-‘ It was quite apparent in the early part of tl‘\‘u present week that there were some people in some parts of the state, interested in political play, who hoped that Mayor Bryan F. Mahan of New London would not aceept the renomination for congress, and some newspapers went so far as to state that he would not acept by reason of poor health, and so on, in expectation that he would quit the politial game while under fire. This was all before the congressman had received official notification of his unanimous renom- ination, and was probably for the pur- pose of paving the way for his retire- men it. ‘When the notification committee made official call upon Mr. Mahan he accepted the nomination. He probably realizes that he must battle against big odds to win, but he is very we.l used to that sort of fighting, for ail through his successful life he has fought his way and on unequal terms with his opponents, His get-there qual- ities have forced even his political ene- mies to admire him. Although it is conceded that the dis- trict is republican and Mr. M. the advantage of being known, still Mr. Freeman possesses widely recognized ability, has the faculty of forcing rap- id acquaintance, and with his strong personality and gifted tongue expects to persuade all republicans in the dis- trict to vote for the republican candi- date, and if he succeeds in this there 1s no doubt as to the result. It was Mr. Mahan’s big vote in New London two Vears ago that aided materially in his but it is an open . question whether he will be given such a hand- some majority against & fellow towns- man. Indications just at this time seem favorable to the election of Richard P. Freeman. Washington County, R.
