GROWING ASPARAGUS THE
TALK At MILFORD GRANGE

On Saturday, April 18th, the topic a.
Milford Grange was Growing Aspara-
gus"
B. NJ. Gain opened the discussion on
this subject. He started growing aspara-
gus some five or six years ago. He pre-
fers to raise his own plants from seed.
The seed is soaked for four or five days
before planting and it comes up very
quickly. The first year he set cut ten
thousand roots. He is still ex pertinent
ing with fertilizers. Has tried rock and
kainit, barnyard manure and nitrate OF
soda. The rows run north aud south
because. in the early Spring the sun
will shine down the rows and warm the
earth better than If the rows ran the
other way. he sells the plants ia q
trench ninteen inches deep, covers with
a few inches OF dirt, with q handful OF
bone meal to each plant. By fall they
will grow so the trench can be filled
with barnyard manure. He likes the
deep planting because it allows him to
pillow the whole field in the spring with
out injury to the crowns. Mr.. Cain is
satisfied that it pays to raise asparagus,
and big grass" will bring big money.
Charles Barker called attention to
two enemies to which the crop is sub
ject, viz the beetle, which is liable to
hurt young beds and rust, which at
tacks older ones. Growers spray for
rust and paris green, mixed with -four,
and sprinkle on when the plants are
wet will overcome the beetles.
Q Some growers succeed well on low,
wet land but usually the crop is grown
On light, dry land. Hard, lumpy
ground makes crooked "grass." The
soil should be fine and nice. There are
several well known varieties. Mr..
Cain grows ArgeRtenil and Mr.. Barker
Palmetto. The roots, though usually
set out in early Spring can be set any
time from April to July.
The topic for April 18th is "TOmatO
