Thousands Now Take Ironized Yeast Tablets to Build New Strength, Energy _and Weight. Often Bring Results in Half the Usual Time. m—h of peoplel who were former- thin, Weak, nervous, run-dewn or lan- ld h: seemingly taken a new lease scienee discovered that the hum:-g\ E. energy-producing elements called tamines” were contained in great quantities in yeast. But to-help bring more quickly and more therpughly the added flesh, the soothed nerves, the strengthened muscles, the clear skin and the wonderful energy, the blood must be enriched also. YEAST ACTS QUICKER WHEN TAKEN WITH IRON \ That is why seience has combined yeast with organic or vegetable fran, the most easily assimilated form of iron'such as Is found in Timited quantities in spinach and raisins. The name of this effective combination of tonics is Ironized Yeast. In this form yeast becomes a bdrfect tonic and re- vitalizer—and_often accomplishes its re- sults in HALF THE USUAL TIME. Ironized Yeast keeps indefinitely and costs about the same ner dose as com- mon yeast, but is much mere effeative. Each mackage contains 10 days' treat- ment and costs only a dollar, or just 10¢ a day. Speocial directions for echildren In each packege.

This isn't its only function, of ‘course, but the first in order. To make crops grow we farmers must see that they have in the soil sufficient plant-food of the required sorts and im the required proportions to induce growth. It is just exactly as essential to feed our potatges as to feed our pigs. In either case We must put the crop either where it can forage successfully for itself or where we have provided the necessary forage. To fat a porker in this part of the country we have to supply him with eorn- meal and “slops” ana some sort of green fodder. That is because he can’t find those requisites for himself. To grow first-class, A-ome, bang-up crops we have to supply the soil ~ with nitrogen and potash and phosphorous and calclum (lime.) This is because the dirt we have to work with has been robbed of those substances by our predecessors. Originally the geil of the United States had enough of all these needed elements. The settlers called the virgin soil they found extremely fertile. The prairie pi- oneers of the west found the great alluv- fal bottoms on which they settled also naturally fertile. All they had to do was to tickle the earth with a hoe and it would laught eut with a generous harvest. And 5o they proceeded to “mine” these naturally rich soils rather than manage them; to exploit them rather than conserve them ; to Waste them rather than develop them. The inevitable result has followed 1 what we are mendacious enough to call ‘worn-out’ farms. They are not quite that; they are more justly entitled to be cailed “starved out” farms—starved out by our own and our forefathers’ shert- sighted folly or perhaps more pardonable ignorance. Well, the times of that ignrance were formerly winked at .- But the winking stage has now definitely and wholly pass- ed. We have got to repent; not only. to repent, but to bring forth works maeet for repentance. Moreover, we've got to do it in comparatively short order or find our- selves in the discard. Consider nitrogen for instance’’ The best attalnable estimates are that, when this country was first seen by white men. its top soil within reach of a plow oon- tained 550,000,000 tons of nitrogen in shape available for plants to live on. while now it harbors only about 275,000 tons. In other words, half the supply which a goed God had employed his bac- terfa for ten thousand years in accumu- lating in the soil has gome—gone part- ly through a leaching process but partly so through our ignérance in substitut- ing soil wastage for soil conservation: in becoming reckless miners rather than provident farmers. Furthermore, thiy nitrogen wastage 1s steadily going on right now at the rate of some 8,000,000 tons a year. Not only that, but the scanty remainder is becom- ing less and less available for plants by reason of increasing insolubility. As Dr. Balley put its: “We are thieving the nitrogen out of the soil” We are burg- larizing the bank which, at the same time we are depending on to pay us our semi- annual dividends. “Says Prof. Esten: ‘“The problem be- fore us is to restare to the soil each year some 8,000,000 tons of nitrogen.” How are we going to do it? By importing nitrate of soda from Chili? Why, man alive, all the nitrage of soda in sight In all the world isn't enough to supply the nitro- gen waStage in the crops of the United States alone for half-a-dozen years! As Prof. Esten graphically remarks, it isn't enough even to make & dent in the prob- lem. Shall’ we get it out of the atmosphers by using electricity, generated in im- mense plants by incalculable horse-pow- er to tear the structure of the air apart and separate the nitrogen. Why all the ccal and all the water-power of the United States, if-ysed solely one purpose, wouldn't supply, nitrogen for one year's crops. It is stated au- thoritatively that “a million dollar elec- tric plant running a whole year would only fix enough ritrogen from the air to supply the growing corn crop of United States for 400 minutes’—less than seven hours! Moreover, what farmer could afford to raise dollar wheat 6r fiftecn-cent corn or any other’crop by the use of nitrogen extorted at such extravagant cost? He might as well uss ground up diamonds for manure! There was nitrogen enough In the soll when he began to draw on it, first. Ev- ery smallest atom of that imperatively needed plant-food had been fixed In that virgin soil by the action of bacteria. For bacteria are no modern invention. They are as old as the dirt itself; have been in it and of it ever since it existed. America was walting to be “discovered” a long time before Columbus was born. Soil bacteria were ceaselessly and mul- titudinously at work all over the earth’s surface thousands of years befors any human being first glimpsed them. They have been from the days of the far distant Great Beginning working in and through the soil, filling it with the plant-food on which crops grow. Why not keep them on this job?

Do we think we can give nature odds at her game ®nd | still beat her? Do We think we can make water run up-hill as cheaply and easily as it will run down-hill? Are we re- ally presumptuous enough to set up our way of doing things, soil-wise, against nature’s way of doing them? “Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it; What makest thou?” Says Prof. Esten: “Dur only salvation Is to accept and nurture the powers of bacterla to fix nitrogen in the soll as they have always dome sinee the advent of Hfe upop this earth.” A Dulletin of the Smithsoniay Institu- tlon devoted especially to a consideration of fertilizers tHs sums # up: “On gen- eral grounds It seems quite logical to ex- pect that, inasmuch as bacterfal action is the method followed by nature in pro- viding the nitrogen compounds required by plants, this process speeded up and controlled by man will furnish the ultl- mate solution of the fertilizer agpeot of the nitregen problem.” What other solution anywhere offe: itself that gives any promise of perma- nently solving that imminent and omi- nous problem? We have seen that there is not enough Chilean nitrate ttainable to put more than ene drop in the empty- ing bucket. We have seen that the once hopefully regarded electrical process is at once inadequate to furnish sufficlent reinforcements and so inordinately ex- Densive as to be prohibitory in practice. At the same time, We have bgen shown by the deveted labofs of such far-seeing and self-immolating prophets of trath as Atwater and Conn and Esten and others, what nature's way of keeping the bucket full is and always has been and always will be. 2 A On that little reclafned hill pasture at Storrs under skillful human management, the bacterial armies are working night and day, in darkness and in light, in season and out of seasom, without rest and without cost, to restore-its starved ‘out fertility and render it permanently in- dependent of prodigal outside help. Prof. Esten has set up on that hill a torch which is a beacon light of hope to hard-driven farmers of the older states. To those who are steering an almost hopeless course between the devil of high fertilizer costs and the deep blue sea of low prices for their own products, It shows a channel to a natural haven, where natural forces, harnessed and trained, maintain present security and give glow- ing promise of providing ample future freightage. Already the light from the torch has been seen_in various parts of the state. I am told of numerous progressive farm- ers, right here in little old Connecticut. who are: today using with profit and pleasure the rules of the new agriculture, They are both saving money by lettiag the bacterla do for nothing what they used to pay big sums for having done, and extravagant and making money by securing increased crops and revivified fertility. They are lump. Which are Leaven? Or just lump? Of course, there's some work and some some study involved. And some willingness to admit that you and I dont know it all. But farming isn't any Maud Mullerish picnle, anyway. It is and always must be chuckfuil of work and trouble and either werry or study.
