be pleased to hear from them. There
seems to be a dearth of information rel

POTASH AS A REMEDY FOR COT
TON RUST.
E. L. T., Macon, Ga, writes: Would
you recommend dried blood for nitrogen
to be used on land for cotton OF
corn? Will muriate of potash prevent
cotton from rusting on bottom land? If
so, how much should be used?
Dried blood is certainly an excellent
source from which to secure nitrogen
for crops like corn and cotton. 1t is
easily transformed into a condition for
utilization by plants, and, therefore, has
the advantage of supplying the young
crop with this desirable and essential
element. 1t is, as you know, an organ
| &c source Of nitrogen, and a high grade
of blood contains not less than IA per
cent of this element Low-grade blood
is on the market in considerable quaint
ties, and If not adulterated and purchas-
grade could be used in place of 1t. One
should figure on supplying to corn or
cotton a fertilizer containing not less
than to per cent of nitrogen, depend
ing on the richness of the soil in vegeta-
BILE matter. OF course, purchasing MI
trogen in a commercial form is an ex-
pensive thing to do, and one sh ould fig
ure on producing a part of this element
at home from growing legumtnous crops
in a rotation. Personally, we would
prefer a fertilizer for corn or cotton
containing, say some sulphate of am
monia, dried blood and cotton seed meal
rather than to have the nitrogen deriv-
ed altogether from one source. If addi-
tional nitrogen were needed later in the
season, top dressing with nitrate of soda
would be the policy to follow
Muriate of potash will tend to prevent
cotton from rusting on all land where
there is a deficiency either in the total
amount Of potash or in available potash.
1t will not insure cotton making sat
isfactory growth on low, wet land
which needs undertaking. This dis
tinction should be clearly kept in mind.
The rusting of cotton is due, as a rule,
| to a deficiency of available potash in
the soil. Supplying a liberal amount or
muriate of potash, therefore, tends to
overcome this defect and stimulates the
plants keeping them In a strong and
vigorous condition and prevents rusting.
We would advise the use of not less
than 100 pounds of muriate Of potash
per acre on land where cotton tends to
rust, and on lnad where this condition
is very bad, 200 pounds Will not be too
much to use. This will supply 100
pounds of available potash, and IL the
Fertilizer is put under the drill row and
the land well prepared should meet the
needs Of a crop sufficiently well to pre-
vent rusting.

Terraces should be constructed with
uniform fall throughout their length
Many people believe that 1t is best to
make the terraces high at the center and
let the water accumulate and run toward
both ends and then escape, rather than
to attempt to carry it from one end of
a long terrace to the other. This is a
rational way OF looking at the problem
and has certainly resulted in the de-
velopment of an efficient system of ter
racing on many farms. Bermuda grass
buried in the bottom Of a terrace fur
row Immediately should not be injured by
1.-THE freezes of winter, and will make a
fine cover for the bottom of the ditch,
provided you can keep it from spreading
out on your cultivated land. We have
used this method to some extent and
have found II very satisfactory. We have
not experienced the difficulty in keeping
the Bermuda out of the cultivated lands
that some complain of. 1t. of course, re-
Quires work and effort to keep 1t under
control, but it is we'll worth II, for 1t
prevents the washing and eroding which
so frequently follows where a dirt ter

FIFTEFN-YfAR Old BOY
Walks TO SUPERIOR mine

Early this morning the ffteen-year-
old son of Nightwauchman Steck, re-
siding at Raymbaultown, approached
worlSmen at the Superior mine, about
two miles south of Houghton, asking
for shelter and food. Receiving both,
he left later for Houghton, stating that
he would return To his home In Calu-
met. Young SteclS told the employees
or the Superior mine that he left his
home in Calumet about midnight, and
walked through the hours of the night
and early morning until he reached the
Superior location. on arrival there
he was thoroughly worn out.
Just where he was bound, lie did not
disclose. About 10 o'clock this morn
ing telephone call was received for
Chief Trudell from the Superior mine,
telling him THAT young lSteck Twas
there. and asking for information as
To what TO do with the boy. Unfor-
tunately, MY. Trudell could not be
found at the time. Later, when he was
communicated with, the boy had left
the Superior mine.
1t is presumed young Steck will re-
turn home some time today. If his in
