Furthermors, farm manure is ome- sided. It has more nitrogen, in propor- tion, than it 'has phosphorus and pot- . It doesn’t “even up” the plant's rations.

Von Liebig's Arst elementary law of agriculture is that “A soll Is ferti'e only when it con- tains ell the materials needed for the nutrition of plants, in’ the proper quan- tity, in the required form." It can be kopt permamentiy fertie only when all these materials which are removed by growing crops are returned to it ‘in the proper quantity, in the re- quired form.” Farmers all over the world are aek- ing, more or ‘ess intelligently, how they sre going to do this—return ‘the ab- stracted plant-food “in the propgr quen- tity, in the required form,” without its costing them more than .the resultant crops will eell for.
