FORCING ASPARAGUS.
Simple and Profitable Ways of Doing
1t In the Field.

SAAs 00--s
1t In the Field.
As,Nrag7s is commonly forced by
transplant ting mature roots to some
warm place, as in hotbeds or under
greenhouse benches. Strong plants 4 or
8 years old are removed from the field
late in the fall with as little damage to
them as possible and stored in a cold
place until wanted for forcing, when
they are set close together in the beds
prepared for them and covered with
several inches Of soil. In about two
weeks cuttings can be made, and the
plants will continue to yield for about
six weeks. Since forced plants do not
grow by becoming rooted in the soil,
but are produced from material stored
up in the roots the previous summer,
when this reserve material is exhausted
the roots must be thrown away and re-
placed by others. Commenting upon
this method as q rather wasteful and
expensive one of forcing asparagus, a
recent bulletin of the department Of
agriculture enumerates various means
which have been devised to force as
paragus in the field, where it is SO we'll
established that it continues growth in
the summer as though it had not been
forced the previous winter.
A simple and rather common method
of accomplishing this is to place barrels
or half barrels over clumps of asparagus
very early in the spring and pile fer
menting manure about them, the
warmth from the forcing the
shoots into rapid growth. When the
forcing season is over and danger from
frosts is past, the barrels are removed
and the plants continue growth in the
open air.
Sometimes asparagus is forced by
placing frames covered with sash over
the plants in the field, the rows of as
paragus being set rather close together.
This is considered a very profitable
method by many market gardeners.
Another method Of forcing asparagus
in the field is to dig bitches between the
rows and fill them with fermenting
manure. The surface of the bed may
also be mulched with manure. Some
times brick tunnels are laid between
the rows and hot water pipes placed in
side them to furnish the heat.

ries far less plant food than the average
soils, yet without any commercial fer
tilizers or barn crops have
been grown which are far above the
average of the state. The secret of the
uniformly good results, if there is any
secret, seems to lie in tillage. The soil,
which is gravelly, is most thoroughly
prepared before the potatoes are plant
ed. The seed is deeply covered, and
then intensive culture is practiced.
Bordeaux mixture and paris green are
freely used, and the foliage ia preserved
from attacks of the beetles and blight.
The most important lesson which has
been derived from the experiments SO
far is that complete and thorough prep
aration of the soil before planting the
crop is Of the utmost Importance. No
after tillage or spraying can make
amends for a lack Of proper preparation.
The figure, from the paper mentioned,
shows how a healthy potato plant
should grow and how the tubers form in
the soil when it is perfectly fitted.
Wide. deep burrows were made and the
seed pieces were dropped in by hand.
