SALT CAUSES WHEAT TO RIPEN EARL.
ER.-Theodore Perry says, in the Pral.
rie Farmer, that he sowed one and a
half bushels fsalt per acre upon one
half ola tcnacre field, just after sowing
it with spring wheat, and the result
was the sailed portion was ready for
the sickle five days earlier than the
unsalted portion, and not a particle of
rust, scab, or smut, could be found, and
the increase Of crop he estimated at
five bushels per acre. This was a
valuable experiment, and proves that
salt was needed on that soil, but it does
not prove that the same result might
be expacted on all soils. All soils may
not be deficient in soda or chlorine, but
most soils are, and especially those
much worn. All farmers should try
similar experiments, for in this way
they can ascertain in what their soils
are deficient better than by a chemical
analysis.
