FERTILIZER FACTS.
ManMrisl Requirements Of CrODs.
Needs ~ Grass, Glover. Rye, Etc.

Needs ~ Grass, Clover. Rye, Etc.
The Hatch experiment station OF
Massachusetts has reached some very
practical conclusions, as Il result OF
careful investigation into the indus.
trial requirements of crops. Among
them are the following:
Grass Is similar In It's requirements
to oats nitrogen In the form OF nitrate
Of soda most beneficialD: the clovers
are to Il considerable extent similar to
corn in their dependence upon potash.
but are more benefited by p%losphoric
acid than the latter.
For use where timothy Is to be
grown, a fertilizer supplying the Gle.
ments In the following proportions Is
recommended: Nitrogen. 3; phosphoric
acid, 3; potash, 3. For m@anuring where
clover Is desired: Nitrogen, =; phos.
phoric acid. s, and potash. 10.
Maximum crops Of hay Mt minimum
cost, whether OF grasses or clovers.
are not to be looked for from the ap.
plication Of phosphate.
Rye shows II more general depend.
ence upon applied fertilizers than the
other crops under experiment. The
difference IN the degree Of effective.
ness Of the elements applied nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and POTASH Is not
great. The results Of experiment do
not encourage the belief that one sided
phosphate manuring for rye Will be
most profitable.
Nitrogen should be most prominent
In fertilizers for oats, while for rye
the fertilizer must be richer In potash.
The experimental work Of the past
few years indicates that the contlnu.
GUS use of muriate of potash may so
far deplete the soil Of lime that an DC.
caslonal application Of this material
may be required In case of such use.
Some results Indicate that the sulplAte
of potash IL Il safer material 70 use.
where Il growth OF clover IL desired.
than the muriate. The high grade sui.
plate should be selected. 1t costs
about 40 cents per hundred more than
the muriate.

Sc ua.h vine Borer.

We are anxiously watching three
squash vines in the onion bed to see
whether the borer will attack them. If
1t does not, we will not know whether
we ought to give the onions the credit
or attribute to the young chicks and
turkeys which run in the garden the
extinction Of the parent insect. Last
year we found our squash vines infest-
ed with borers, and they did not stop
at the root or second point, as G. w.
Brown says they do, but several joints
would be affected and even in the leaf
stems we found the voracious little
grubs. Having read that the vine might
be split lengthwise and the worm kill
ed, each morning as we went for vege-
tables we took a thin bladed knife with
us and did very effective surgery
among those vines. Wherever a yellow
spot indicated the presence Of the g
my we split the vine, killed the borer,
then covered the wound with earth,
and they grew right along until frost,
We had plenty of squashes for fall and
winter use and some to give our
friends.-OhiO Farmer.

Nevertheless, the officials VINO nave look

view of the approach of the next session
of Congress il is deemed well to let the
whole matter remain for treatment by the
