On Promising Claims Near the
Keystone Property.

Last Saturday night we had a
pleasant visit at our Office from
Mr.. George A. Chalfant and Chas.
G. Chalfant, his son, prominent
capitalists of Pittsburg, Pa, who
with DR.. J. NJ. Evans and Harry
F. Secrist of the Keystone Copper
& Gold Mining Co.. are interested
in the Fort Pitt & Arizona Min
ing Company recently organized to
develop the property owned by
them in Buckhorn basin about two
miles south from the Keystone
property. The development will
begin in the next few days, with a
force of men under the supervision
of Capt. Cree, a thorough and prac-
tical mining man of wide expert
ence, and we predict a bright fu-
ture for the property under his
management. This property is
better known as the Bill Roberts
property, having been formerly
owned and worked by him. The
work will proceed rapidly, and we
hope to add still another producing
property to our list. Mr.. Chalfant
recognized Julius Montzheimer as
an old acquaintance, having known
him when Montzheimer had an oil
refinery in Pittsburg, twenty-five
years ago.

HORTICULTURE
GROWING ONIONS IN THE SOUTH.
Prof. Massey Writes on Varieties, Soil
Management and Fertilization.

Management and Fertilization.
Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:
1t was long the general opinion,
and is still the opinion of some, that
in the South the onion crop must al
ways be treated as a biennial and
grown from sets. 1t was thought
that the crop could not be produced
in the warmer climate of the South
ern States the same year from spring
sown seeds.
The reason for these erroneous. no
tions was that the Southern garden
ers copied too closely the methods
laid down in books written for the
North. Thus, sowing the seed at the
time which is proper for the North
ern States resulted in sets rather
than onions, because the hot weather
comes too soon for them and causes
them to stop growing. But when we
took into consideration the hardness
of the plant and the difference In
climate, and sowed the seed in Feb
ruary instead of April, we had as
long a cool season for them as in
the North and the result was fully
as good a crop of ripe onions as can
be grown anywhere.
But the development of market
gardening in the South of late years
has brought a demand for an early
onion which can be punched when
half grown and put on the market
green. For this purpose the sets
r essential. We grow the sets by
sowing seed very thickly in soil of
only moderate fertility early in
April. We use the Queen onion for
this purpose, as it is a very early
sort and is also quite hardy in the
winter. The sets are taken up as
soon as the tops ripen and spread in
a dry place with the tops on, as they
keep better in this way. In Septem-
Der the tops r cleaned off and the
sets prepared for planting. This can
be done at any time in the fall up to
November, but the earlier the better.
We mark off the land in rows 20
inches apart or even less, for all the
cultivation needed can easily be done
with a wheel hoe run by man power.
Light mellow soil is needed, and it
should be high and we'll drained. In
the burrows we place about 1000
pounds per acre of a mixture of 900
pounds of acid phosphate, 600
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1902-10-14


phoric acid, and one half a ton of
muriate of potash, and would put
the two tons on the two acres. Our
friend evidently imagined that be-
cause a ton and a half was more than
half a ton he was getting a larger
percentage of phosphoric acid than
of potash. Now the most enthusiast
tic advocate for the use of potash
would hardly recommend such a
quantity per acre. Let us see what
it is: One and a half tons of Is
per cent acid phosphate would CON
tain $50 pounds of available phos-
phoric acid, and it is rare that so
large a percentage of available phos-
phoric acid can be had. The muriate
of potash will average so per cent
of actual potash and this half ton
will have 500 pounds of potash, so
that he will be applying in the mix
ture 225 pounds of phosphoric acid
and $50 pounds of actual potash or
far more han any crop or soil needs.
Then he further stated that he in
tended to apply all the nitrogen in
the form of nitrate of soda as the
crop grows. This application to the
growing crop is not a bad one, but
the crop would be better for having
some nitrogen in the form Of organic
matter like cotton-seed meal or
tankage or fish scraps. The formula
I have given above will suit any
where in the South, and can be sup
plemented by a top-dressing of nj
trate of soda while the crop is grow
ing, if care is taken not to apply this
when the tops are wet. One thou
sand pounds of this formula will
contain but 100 pounds of actual
potash instead of the $50 pounds
which our Louisiana friend proposes
to apply. We are perfectly aware
that the onion, like other bulbs, is
benefited by a fair application of
potash, but no such amount is need
ed as our friend proposes, who
thinks it less needed than phospho-
ric acid. His notions are about on
par with those Of most people who
have not studied these things, and
his letter shows the Importance of
the farmers getting acquainted with
the composition of the articles he
proposes to use as fertilizers, in or
der that he may not make mistakes
as our friend does in thinking that
a ton and a half of a fifteen per
cent article is larger than half a ton
of a fifty per cent material. Ten
per cent of potash in a fertilizer for
onions is enough and is a heavy ap-
plication, and while the phosphoric
acid is. essential, [ think that some
organic nitrogen is also needed, as
the effects of the nitrate are too
evanescent.
Then, too, a ton per acre is an
unnecessary application for any
crop and more than it can profta-
bly, use. Liberal fertilization is es-
sential to success in garden crops,
especially, but liberal fertilization
does not mean wasteful application.
The $50 pounds of potash the Louis
lana man proposed to use would in
all probability have done more harm

THE WRINKLES OR FOLDS INTHE WOOL
The wool when washed ready to
spin is white and very soft but the
outside of the fleece when on the
sheep is dark and dirty looking be-
cause of the dust and dirt that ad-
heres to the outer ends of the greasy
wool, forming a hard surface that
protects the wool inside. This wool
covers the animal all over from the
face back and down to the hoofs.
Some of these sheep, and the heav-
lest shearing ones, especially, have
large wrinkles or folds in the skin.
These wrinkles some times extend
all around the neck and hang down
in front from the jaws to the brisket
and on the sides from the back down
under the belly, meeting those from
the other side, and several extending
across the hind quarters and down
from the tail to hook joint. These
folds give great additional surface
for the production of wool.
Others, just as pure blood, have
not half so many folds or wrinkles
and yet shear as much fleece in
many instances. 1t would be a sur
prise to many who are not familiar
with the different breeds of sheep to
see a ram of the above description
turn off a twelve months fleece of
very greasy wool weighing thirty
and even yer forty pounds, yet such
weight has been reached.
Others of the same blood, have a
very few small wrinkles or folds, but
With a more evenly fleece in quality,
length of staple, and generally with
less oil: The fleece not so heavy as
the other but generally grades as
Delaine Merino.
This brief and imperfect descrip-
ton of the American Merino must
suffice for the present, and if our
inquiring friends will come to the
Greensboro Fair, or later to the
State Fair at Raleigh, we may show
them a few specimens of these
sheep.
A few minutes ago while finishing
the above, the mail brought me a
letter from Editor @. II. Poe, dated
yesterday. Among other things he
said, "Thanks for your kind invita-
ton to run up and spend a day or
two with you. \ = \ l should
like very much to do so, but am kept
too busy for such experiences. \ \ \
How are your Sheep" So I will
answer it here and say that our
sheep, all things considered, have
done remarkably we'll. We have
over a hundred head of lambs grow
ing nicely, though they were late
coming (May and June), and are
rather small. The ewes have kept in
fairly good condition all summer
and they, neither old nor young,

make a top. This has a furrow
thrown over it from each side max
ing a sharp list. The lists are fiat
tened somewhat and in shallow fur
rows made on them the sets are
planted deeply so that they will be
about on the level soil when the earth
is drawn from them in February, but
we set them deep as a winter protec-
ton. These sets are for the early
green onions only. For a ripe crop
we prepare the land thoroughly and
SOW the seed in the spring about the
middle of February, and thin them
when up to about three inches in the
row. We use the same fertilization
as for the fall sets. For this crop
we have found nothing better than
the Southport White Globe, as it
keeps better than any onion we have
grown, and we have tested eighteen
or twenty other varieties.
The yellow potato onion is about
the earliest ripe onion that a be
put on the market, and it generally
pays very we'll, because the market
is at that time pretty bare of ripe
onions. But the potato onion must
be sold as soon as ripe, for it is a
poor keeper. 1t makes no seed, but
produces offsets from the bulbs
which are set in the fall as other sets,
a small set making a big onion and
a larger one two to three of market
able size. There is another onion
Of the same character but white in
color, which is used at times for
early green onions. This one never
grows as large as the yellow potato
onion, but is one of the best keepers,
and it's white color makes it desirable
for the punching in spring.
Of late years there has been a
great deal of talk in regard to a new
method of growing onions. This is
to SOW the seed under glass in win
ter OF early spring, and transplant
them later. This method is of no
advantage in the culture of the ordi-
nary American varieties, but works
very well with the big yellow onion
sold under the name of Prize-taker.
In the South the seed of this onion
should be sown in a cold frame pro-
tected by glass sashes about the mid
die of January. Care must be taken
to give plenty of air in the frame
and to keep the plants from drawing
up too tender. Gradually expose
them to the air, so that by the last
of February or early in March they
will be ready to set in the open
ground. Set them just as advised for
the sets, and when well established
draw the earth from them so as to
have the onions resting on the sur
face and only the roots in the
ground. This onion makes the big
yellow onion seen at times in boxes
in the grocery stores, and is the
largest onion grown and one of the
mildest.
