ing for oats. wheat and other small
grains, nitrate of soda will on most Of
our soils, which are deficient in nitro
GEN., largely Increase the yield.
There may be soils or which this
would not be so. but on far the greater
part of Southern lands it is pretty safe
to state that an application Of nitrate
of soda will be beneficial unless the
soil has already been well supplied
with nitrogen through applications of
stable II or by the growing OF
repeated crors Of legunes.
A. soon as the oats ave mad a
good start in their spring growth the
Application Of nitrate of soda should
be made. We believe it is generally
delayed until too late to do the most
good. Probably the best indication Of
the need Of this top dressing of nitrate
of soda is a failure Of the oats to start
off right in the spring and the absence
of that lark green color which indi-
Gates a vigorously growing plant that
is we'll supplied with nitrogen.
From IS to 100 pounds of nitrate
of soda to the acre is probably as
much as will generally give profitable
results. It should be soWn broadcast
ct a time when there is no dew on the
cats. To add to the bulk and faciii-
rate an even distribution of so small:
a quantity, the nitrate may be mixed
with dry sand or loan.

(AnsWer by Prof. Massey.)
The Il With your garden is the
same that | nave found in many old
roe which have been treated with
stable n for years. There is an
excess of nitrogen in proportion to the
mineral matters in the soil. Crops
roWIn under ground draw heavily on
the phosphoric acid and potash, and
stable n does not restore this in
sufficient amount. Your soil is natur-
ally low in potash, though phosphoric
acid has been usually in
most of the coast soils. Nitrogen

How to Care for the Plants You BUY

When plants are received by the
customer, they should be got home as
soon as possible and taken from the
package. Don't stop and talk with
oyur neighbor when you are taking
home a shipment OF strawberry plants.
The package should be put under
shade. preferably in q cool Wood-shed
or cellar, and opened at once and the
plants taken out and reunited. If all
are right, they should be set upright
on the bottom of the room. with wet
moss next to the roots. on the bottom
and at the sides. Ii they are Wilted,
it is a good plan to take each bunch
and set it in q pail of water for a
short time, long enough to take up
sufficient moisture to revive the plants.
Failure with plants is allnost al
ways due to keeping them too long
after they are received from the nur-
sery before planting out, to exposure
of the roots to heat. winds Or frosts,
or to putting them in q warm. humid
place where they Will mold and spoil.
The sooner the roots are got into the
soil the better. and the LEGS exposure
they have, the surer the good results.
