Thought it no disadvantage to mix red and Fuitz

bone and one ton of salt. Could see no benefit |
from it, other on the wheat or the grass. Mr. |

Reckords bone to the acre. Commenced on the
18th of September, but 1t was sowed too early and
was attacked by the fly. Ten days later he drilled

taken by the fly. Mr.. Holland said he believed in

the wheat broadcast, using the same quantity of

of rain and he commenced in n hollow, lest the
ground should yet too wet. Used 200 lbs. Of Vege-
tator mixed with 200 lbs of fine bone. The worst
same variety, drilled in the same manner but

T. A. Hays said he had sowed 200 lbs. of kainit to

there was one-third less Fultz than red. The

700 lbs. of bone, sowing IN bushels of wheat to the
acre on the 18th of September. 1t was struck by
the fly and poor crop was the result On another
