as the zone of cultivation, where some
day, some remote manaua, the land
would be allotted to the pacificos, and
in March the destr uction of all this
property, and even the growing crops,
was dccrecd by Gen. Molinas, the mill

In vi.y of tho agitation gong on

some remarks on the subject would
be pertinent at this time.
The pc ,ple have elected board of
county commissioners IN whom they

Oats to Loosen Up Soil.

EsTIoN. Il have field of volunteer

narrow to loosen up the. soil? If yes,
when? j want to manure them with
acid phosphate and cottonseed meal,
what proportion of each shall use?
Should ] Ihix any potash with the meal
aud acid?'
ANSWER would advise against u.s.
ing cutaway harrow OH your oats, as
think it would cut them up too much.
1t would be an advantage to the oats to
cross and recross them with plain
smoothing or straight tooth harrow,
which would loosen the soil to some ex.
tent and slightly thin out the oats,
which would probably benefit them. Dc
this as soon as the ground is sufficiently
dry.
A liberal top dressing of cottonseed
meal, say 300 pounds to the acre, applied
just before narrowing, would probably
insure you a good yield of oats. AS,
however, you doubtless expect to follow
your oat crop with peas, l suggest that
you add 100 pounds of phosphoric. acid
and 90 pounds of kainit to the cotton.
seed meal. In that case you might ex-
peet fine pea crop after taking off the
oats without any further fertilizine -

ANswER.-There is slight difference
in favor of cottonseed meal over the
other two. The manurial value of
whole cottonseed and crushed seed is
about the same. AS cottonseed is a com.
plete fertilizer with an excess of nitro.
gen, 1t is better suited for grain crops
than cotton, because the grain requires a
larger amount of nitrogen, cotton a
larger amount of phosphoric acid

QUESTION. Does it make any differ.
ence what kind of phosphoric acid is
used for cotton, or are all equally good?
ANSWER. -The value of phosphoric
acid for cotton is in proportion to its
solubility; hence acid phosphates which
run high in soluble phosphoric acid
should be preferred. Insoluble phos.
phoric acid, such as is found in mari.
floats, Stag, etc, are of little direct
value to the crop, though they may ben
eft the land for future crops. These,
to be profitable. should be applied to
leguminous crops. and when the stubble
and roots of these crops are turned un-
der and the land is then planted in cot
ton, the indirect value of the mari.
floats or Stag. as the case may be, be-
comes at once apparent in the increased
yield of the cotton. State Agricultural
