WHEN FERTILIZERS SHOULD Bl
) APPLIED.

AS a general rule, which has but few
exceptions, the greater part Of the fer
tilizer should be applied to the soil be-
fore planting the crop 1t Is intended to
benefit. This rule is not only in accord
with theoretical considerations, but is also
abundantly sustained in actual practice,
as shown by carefully conducted field ex-
periments instituted for the express pur-
pose Of ascertaining the truth, says Hon.
r. J. Redding, Director Georgia Expert
ment Station, Department Of Agriculture,
in Virginia Carolina Fertilizer Almanac.
The theory underlying the rule Is the
fact that most Of the ingredients compos-
ing commercial fertilizer are not i'm
mediately soluble and availible, but must
undergo certain chemical changes in the
proper condition to be taken up by the
roots Of the plants. This Is particularly
true in regard to salts Of potash, and in
less degree to acid phosphate. It Is q
fact, also, that some forms Of potash,
in the condition Of the plant food already
present In a soil, whereby the before in
soluble and non-available plant food al
ready In the soil. becomes available.
The organic substances which are large
fertilizers for the purpose of Supplying
nitrogen to the plants-such as cotton
seed meal, dried blood, fish scrap, tank
age, etc., also require time In which to
Undergo chemical decomposition and such
change Of form as will enable the roots
to appropriate the nitrogen. Even sui
phate Of ammonia, highly soluble chemi-
cal salt, which sometimes enters into
the composition Of fertilizer In a very
limited amount, must undergo complete
chemical decomposition in the soil before
the plants can make any use Of the nitro.
ammonia sulphate. This must be con-
verted into nitrate, or nitrate Of lime.
Nitrate Of soda Is the: one chemical
fertilizer salt that is Immediately avail
able: producing very prompt effect when a
applied to growing crop (and 1t should
be applied to none other).
Acid phosphate and potash may be ap-
Piled to the soil and bedded on from two
to- six weeks before planting time. 1t
IL claimed by some experts that potash
salts may be applied with better results
even several months before planting. A
more practical and convenient rule, how
ever, Is to apply a complete fertilizer
from one to three weeks before planting
the crop, when the latter is corn, cot
ton, tobacco, or other summer growing
tilizer thoroughly with the soil Of the
open bedding furroW In which 1t shall -
applied and then listing" or throwi--
two furrows on It,
Experiments on the farm of the Georgia
Experiment Station, projected for the
the effectiveness Of complete fertilizer
applied two weeks before planting, and.
on the other hand, the effectiveness Of
the same quantity Of the same fertilizer
applied In the furrows with the seed,

prising result-viz., the cotton seeds plant

had been applied and bedded on two

man of the agricultural committee of
the Nevada Commercial league,
Thomas Means of the United States
Reclamation service, e. w. Clapp of
the Southern Pacific company, Pro-
fessor True of the University of Ne
vada, II. A. Marrean, prominent res
ident of Fallon, and Secretary Bride
of the Nevada Commercial league
held a conference at the league Offices
last night, the result of which means
much for the entire state of Nevada,
particularly Churchill county.
The government, the railroad COM
pany, the league and every citizen of
the state are to cooperate IN move
ment to settle every acre of the re-
claimed lands in Churchill county
within the next year. Work is to
start at once. Efforts are to be CEN
tered at first on one section-the Ar
kansas valley of Colorado, and the
campaign continued until the stream
of settlers is turned toward Nevada.
There is now room for 300 new
families in Churchill county, accord
ing to Means, and until these settlers
are brought here and placed upon
their new homesteads the government
does not intend to do any further
work toward reclamation. for which
s., 100000 is now awaiting. These

to Churchill county within the next
year and toward that end every en-
ergy of all the interests represented

voted.
Mr.. Clapp assured those present
that the railroad company will CO.
operate in every way, that special
rates will be granted, that literature
will be prepared and that any ltera-
ture the league or others might pre-
pare will be freely distributed Chair
man Lee gave assurance that the
league will devote every effort to the
success of the plans and Means on
behalf of the government gave assur-
ance of hearty aid in every way pos
sible.
The government has not been en-
tirely satisfied with the manner in
which the reclaimed lands of Church
i'll county have been taken up so far, >
said Means last evening. Settlers
have been coming in faster during the
past few weeks than for some time
previous, but | believe this is because

lard Burbank granted to II. S. Wooleyl
of Salt Lake an option on the Baker
ranch near Osceola, which was par
tensive water rights. Wooley after
ward assigned the option, and all of
his other holdings in that vicinity to
the Amalgamated Nevada Mines &
Power company Before expiration
of the option, Howard w. Baker
died. P. NJ. Baker was named adj
ministrator of the estate.
The Anal gamated began suit in
August to compel p. NJ. Baker, as
administrator of the estate, 10 exc
cute a deed conveying the property
covered by the option to the plant
ifs upon payment of the balance of
the specified price. The balance on
the contract was $7,916.67, which
was rendered in court at the time
the action was brought The dis
trict court on December 6 made a
decree authorizing the administrator
to make the deed according to the
original option. Payment is made in
full and the deed is now on file for
record. With the land goes valuable
and extensive water rights to the
waters in Baker creek and Lehman
creek. 1t was the water that the
Amalgamated company most desired,
as the land is purely agricultural.
The water is needed to carry on
placer operations on the company's
extensive holdings in the vicinity of
the ranch.
