Salt and Plaster.

Salt ana IlhStcr.
A subscriber asks: "Will 1t do
to sow salt and plaster on clover
after wheat comes off! And II so,
what quantity of salt may | apply
Agoin, would salt and plaster I'M
prove my crop of wheat another
year if sown after blowing this
fall, or should | drill it with wheat!
AS to sowing plaster on clover
after the wheat comes OIL, with
which the clover was sown, our
opinion is that it will certainly pro-
mote the growth of the clover
We should not trouble about the
salt; but we would like very well
our correspondent would set oil
strip in his clover field, and, after
dressing it with the plaster, which
ought to be sown just as soon as
the wheat is carried off the field,
about the middle of October, SOW
at the rate of barrel of salt to the
acre, and then observe and COM
pare the results of the applica-
ton of salt with the clover where
no salt has been sown.
In regard to the application of
salt and plaster to land that is de-
signed to be sown this fall with
wheat and seeded with clover the
following spring, the treatment
should be, especially if the soil is
rather light than otherwise, to
SOW with plaster after the wheat is
sown, and then about the month OF
October give the wheat Il top
dressing of salt at the rate of POO
or 800 pounds to the acre. This
dressing of plaster at the time the
wheat is coming up not only aids
the quick growth of the wheat and
stimulates the growth of the young
plant, but also leaves the soil at
the surface in the very best condi-
ton to receive the clover sown in
the early spring.
The action of the salt on land
cannot be explained. Very much
attention has been given to this
subject by scientific men, but no
satisfactory solution of it has yet
been made. We can only see that
the results of judicious applica-
tions of salt, so far, on Michigan
soils, have been such as to show
that it assists to prepare the earthly
matters to meet the wants of vege-
tation when growing. That it also
aids in freeing the soil of noxious
insect life, or tending to decrease
them, have been observed by many
who have given the subject atten-
ton. That its effect is lasting we
know from some of the expert
ments which have been made with
it, and especially those made at the
State Agricultural College from
1868 to 1865.
That salt may be made to much
greater extent per acre than is gen.
orally supposed without injury to
vegetation has been proved, espe-
cially with all kinds of grasses,
and we have little doubt but that
in some of our deep loans that are
well drained from five hundred to
one thousand pounds per acre may
be used where grass is grown with
advantage or profit.--Michigan
Farmer.
