PLENTY OF CHEAP POTASH.

A misapprehension eveident1y exists
regarding the danger Of shortage of
potash for the American farmer. This
has arisen through a misunderstanding
of the purpose of the new German pot
ash law This law does not aim to re-
strict the production Of potash, but on
the contrary expressly seeks to increase
it. The commission that fixes the prob
able yearly demand of the world must
provide each year for an increase over
the consumption Of the previous year.
The mines have spent millions of dol
lars in trying to increase sales and this
policy will continue.
The commission is required to annual
ly estimate the domestic (German) re-
quirement and the amount needed for
export. Because it happens that the
present German requirement is equal
to the export needs, some have under
stood that the law forbids an export
quantity greater than the German con-
SUMPTION This is by no means true.
The Germans are only too glad to have
the foreign demand increase.
The law in this respect is flexible;
thus, if the commission should find that
the German and export amounts for
1910 were practically equal they would
fix the same proportions for 1911, in
creasing each in the same amount. How
ever, should it appear at any time, that
the foreign orders were likely to be in
excess of the amount estimated,
the commission has the power to at once
make the foreign allowance greater than
the domestic and would undoubtedly do
so.
This is quite in line with the pur-
pose of the mines in organizing their

INDIAN SQUAW CORN.
EDITOR FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT:

For number Of years I have been
planting what is known as Mexican June
corn but it has been very unsatisfactory.
1t may be because [ have not got the
genuine June corn, for [ know the pub
lie has been imposed upon more or
less Last year | planted what is known
as Indian Squaw corn. This is claimed
to be the original Indian corn greatly i'm
proved [ planted this corn the 18TH
day of June and the season was eX
tremely dry but the corn grew off from
the very start and never rolled up on
the very dryest and hottest days. This
is a prolific variety, making in a good
season from two to five ears to the
stalk, but it was so very dry on mine
that it only made one and two ears to
the stalk, though it more than doubled
any of the June corn that [ have tried.
[ am we'll pleased with it and will con-
tinue to use it for my late paintings.
The ears grow from 10 to II inches long
and carry from 10 to 20 rows Of plump
grains. The grains present a combina-
ton of colors-sOme blue, others yellow,
some red and some white. 1t is really
a most attractive corn and you can al
ways tell this corn by the combination
of colors in the grains. It is the earliest
maturing corn that I know Of Mine
was ready for the crib in eight days
after I planted the seed.
Another most valuable crop is my
Texas Stock Melons, which have made
an abundant yield, know of nothing
that furnishes such fine, succulent green
feed to go with the dry in winter, and
for table use [ prize them very highly.
Besides they are a crop that never fail
and are nice and clean to harvest
Will some one please tell me how to
prepare broom corn for market, best
way to remove the seed, and all about
the crop.
Wishing the good old Agriculturist
much success I will close.

UP-TO-DATE IMPLEMENTS
IN FARMING.

One of the most important factors in
the increasing prosperity of farmers
throughout the country is the growing
use of modern time and labor-saving
Implements
The many advantages of up-to-date
farm and garden implements is coming
to be recognized more and more, and
since the invention of Planet, Jr., imple-
ments over a generation ago, a rapid
change for the better has taken place
in farming and gardening methods
everywhere.
S. L. Allen, the inventor of Planet, Jr,
implements, is himself practical far
mer and his intimate knowledge of the
needs of the farmer, together with his
ingenuity, has enabled him to design
these tools along thoroughly practical
lines so that they do the work quickly
easily and efficiently
Planet, Jr. implements are adapted for
every farming requirement and are so
constructed that they can be quickly ad-
justed for different purposes. For in
stance, the Combined Hill and Drill
Seeder, Wheel Hoe, Cu1tivator and
Plow combines great variety of tools
in single Implement
1t enables the farmer in one operation,
to sow in continuous rows and drop in
hills either four, six, eight, twelve or
twenty four inches apart and at the
same time make the new row. The SOW
ing device consists of an automatic feed
which is stopped by simply raising the
handles and started by lowering them
and starting the tool
For cultivating, the drill parts can be
easily removed and it is quickly convert
ed into single-wheel hoe with fine
variety of tools and side extensions for
hoeing both sides of row at one
passage.
This is only one of the many useful
and profitable time and labor saving
Planet, Jr tools which every farmer
and gardener should have.
The use of Planet, Jr. tools has ex-
tended all over the world and they are
being shipped in constantly increasing
numbers to foreign countries as we'll as
to every part of the United States
Every farmer should have copy of
the handsome illustrated catalogue which
fully describes the various Planet, Jr
implements. Anyone can secure a copy
by writing to S. L. Allen & Co., Box
IIo8-H, Philadelphia, manufacturers of
Planet, Jr. tools.

REPORT OF DICKINSON sus-sTA.
TloN ON THIS GREAT
FORAGE PLANT.

Wide Area in state 10 Adapted "a
h Growing Alfalfa-Thrse Million
Acres Should be Grown-Pays
Expenses Of Station.

Dickinson.-The legislature Of 1904
1906 made provision whereby the
Dickinson sub-experiment station was
established. The early years Of sta
ton are necessarily rather barren. but
we believe that the results secured
during the first five years, with re-
gard to alfalfa alone, will more than
pay the total expenses of the station
to date, when they have become ap-
piled to the agriculture Of North
Dakota
This station is thoroughly convinced
at the present time Of the practicable
ity of growing alfalfa over comparat-
lively large areas Of North Dakota. At
the present time, perhaps, there is not
more than 500 acres Of alfalfa under
successful cultivation in North Dakota
Under normal conditions Of farming II
is only the truth to state that the
present conditions Of farming are alb
normal. North Dakota should be grow
ing 100000 acres Of alfalfa This would
mean but 80 acres of alfalfa on each
section and there is no doubt but what
there is this much land available for
the crop.
The cultivation Of such an area
would add many millions of dollars
to the wealth of the state.
One of the very important things
at the present time is to awaken
an interest in alfalfa in the minds OF
the farming public and bring wildly
to them sense of the value Of the
crop.
