SOIL EXPERT WILL LECTURE HEDE Arrangements have been completed by the Caldwell Commercial club for the appearance here of Dr. W. E Taylor, the famous soil expert, w'ho will deliver a free lecture to the far mers, business men and residents of the community in general in the City Hall, Tuesday, Sep. 16 at 2 p. m. The coming of Dr. Taylor is awaited with interest by the farmers of this sec tion, whose subject for the afternoon will be "Soil Fertility and the Science of Crop Production Press notices tell of the wonderful enthusiasm that Dr. Taylor creates in these lectures. He is, himself, a prac tical farmer and a speaker of elo quence and power. He operates a number of experimental farms in dif ferent parts of the United States, and is conceded to be one of the best posted men on soil culture that tihere is in the country. In his lectures Dr. Taylor makes it plain that plant food elements are necessary in the »oil for maximum crop production, how missing ele ments can be supplied, and how they are made available for the use of growing plants. He describes soil texture; the influence that cultivation has upon plant growth; how certain elements of plant food can be taken out of the air and fixed in the ground by the aid of certain leguminous plants; how humus can be restored to worn out soils, and why this partic ular element is of unusual importance to the farmers. His instructions concerning the proper application of barnyard man ure and its effect upon the plant is it self a liberal education in plant pro duction. There isn't a word in Dr. Taylor's lecture that is commonplace, uninter esting or difficult to undersatnd. He is eloquent, humorous and has an amazing grasp of those vital agricul tural subjects which are now of such importance to the farmers of this country. We all want to know more about how to produce larger crops from the same acreage without additional ex pense or without robbing the soil of its fertility.
