NITRATE OF SODA.
It's Profitable Use on Field Crops,

It's Profitable Use on Field Crops,
Such as Hay, Wheat and Rye.
Experiments that have been followed
with much interest have been those Of
the New Jersey agricultural station.
which have demonstrated the profita-
bic use of liberal applications of nitrate
of soda on high value market garden
crops. Experiments in this line have
been continued and extended to in
clude field crops of lower commercial
value, such as hay, wheat, rye, etc.
These show that, provided the soil is
we'll supplied with the other plant food
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES acid and pot
ash-the lower value crops also re-
spond proftably to the application of
nitrate of soda.
OF hay specifically it is said that
nine years of experiment in different
sections of New Jersey show that up
on soils that will produce hay crops
ranging from one to three tons per
acre a gain in yield of from to 81 per
cent, or an average in crease of 32.7 per
cent, may be expected from the use
of from 100 to $50 pounds per acre,
which would show an average gain in
yield of 654 pounds per acre. Based
on an average yield of 1.25 tons per
acre, the gain would be 800 pounds.
This increase, at an average of $12 per
ton, would mean about S. per acre, or
81 more than the cost of the material.
A Good Top Dressing Mixture.
The experiments suggest that, owing
to the difficulty of evenly distributing
a small amount of nitrate of soda and
owing also to the fact that on soils
that have been seeded with grass there
is frequently a deficiency of mineral
elements, mixture may preferably be
used which is rich in nitrate, usually
one-half, the balance consisting of acid
phosphate, ground bone and muriate
of potash. The soluble minerals are
readily carried to the roots of the
plants, and the ground bone feeds the
surface roots, and the nitrate is alb
sorbed quite as readily as if not used
with any other material. This method
is to be recommended whenever the
land is in good condition and it is de-
sired to keep up the content of the
mineral constituents in the soil as well
as to avoid any danger of Overfeeding
with nitrogen, which would have a
tendency, particularly in the warmer
climates, OF causing a softer growth
ard formation of mildew. This is liza
BILE to occur where the nitrogen is in
excess and the ration is not well bal
anced. A good mixture for top dress
