Emmor Roberts, Moorestown, n j.
one Of the best farmers Of the day says OF
his method, which Is this Of investing time:
Beginning with the old sod field, we
would pIow it in the spring, giving it a
dressing Of twenty bushels stone lime aud
400 pounds kainit to the acre The first
year We plant in corn or cabbage. The
next year we give it as much stable ma
nure a. we have at hand, for the purpose,
and say half ton per acre additional, and
plant it in potatoes or other summer mar
ket crops. After these are gathered We
SOW the land in wheat, and with it six
quarts per acre Of timothy seed not giving
additional manure OF fertilizer.
In the winter hike Ia spread over he
surface q light coat of stable manure
About the first Of April We SOW some six
quarts clover seed, two quarts alsike and
four quarts of red Ii the wheat does not
get it, coat of manure, or we think the
land needs it. We SOW 90 pounds of nitrate
of soda per acre, ensuring good crop OF
wheat straw and mostly crop Of gram
We commonly have good crops of wheat
rarely less than thirty bushels to the acre,
and seldom fail to get good stand Of grass,
which we mow for the next seven years,

Botanists include in the family of the
grasses twentieth of all species
But, widespread as is this family, the
distance between nature plan and as man
has developed and made it profitable is only
bridged with effort The profit in the
perfect yield is the reward of patience,
faith and labor to purpose One must
invest either time or money and, with
either, success means not only the final
product, but the improvement of the land.
With both the object is to destroy weeds,
to get humus and fertility in the soil and
to have the grass remain prime as long as
possible with the least expenditure for
feeding.
To begin at once with seeding to grass
requires money for labor in tearing the sod
TO shreds with cutaway or disc, than
working and reworking this way and that
to destroy all plant life and to get the seed
bed fine In one such test the seeding
was red top and timothy, each fourteen
quarts, red clover four quarts The work
of cutting up began in early summer, and
continued until sowing time in the fall
when seeding was followed BY dressing
of 400 pounds ground bone and 200 pounds
muriate of potash per acre, then with har
rowing several times and rolling. A spring
top dressing of 400 pounds nitrate of soda
per acre, and in the fall another application
Of the bone and potash. The yield of the
plot of sixteen acres was sixty tons, of the
adjacent acres ordinary treated, ten tons.
The same result could have been obtain
ed by letting plants do the work A hoed
crop TO braek up the sod and clear out the
weeds, wheat or rye and clover, to still
further work over the vegetable matter,
then red clover. alsike and timothy, giving
in the FIRST year of moving the trade grade
of clover next the mixed of clover
and timothy, and finally, "choice timothy.
