PLANTING Peas for a Fsrtiiiser--'rhis
subject was again discussed. The chairman
said If he had some poor land he would try |
this experiment. So said several other gem
tlomen, but the men with the poor land
didn't seem to be present.
Mr.. Richards inquired the best and cheap
est way of getting good crop of wheat off
poor land. Frazier said he would use Peru
Wan Guano. The chairman concurred. Sow

way Is 10 drill il in with the. Mr.. Yardley
IL il would do to apply lime after
the wheat had been sown and fortified with
puano. The theory is that if lime and grain
some in contact the ammonia of the latter is
dissipated. But there are some stubborn
facts which 20 to set aside this theory. On
some of the Potter land occupied by Gen.
Van Worst, lime was applied with guano and

The chairman says it can be delivered here
by the West Jersey Co., for 1915 per ton.
Mr.. Smoot used mari tons to the acre
last fall on wheat, and the wheat shows it
very plainly.
The chairman thinks it most valuable as a
top dressing for clover and timothy. MIR.
Richardson inquired what was the best dis
position he could make of crop Of clover
that is very light, of ton to the acre.
The chairman advised the moving of il and
leave It lay on the land. The second growth
he would cut and feed in barn-yard and
make manure. The manure made from co-
yer is very strong Eminent agriculturists
say that ton Of manure from clover1s worth
$9.17. A ton Of wheat straw, $3.50. Ton
of oil cake 800.
Mr,--from Chenango Co., N. Y. says
that top dressing for grass is the practice
there-taking the manure from barn yard
without composing, Mr.. Frazier says that
he thinks one load of well composted
manure is worth two Of green manure.
