NOTES AND

A reader who wants to use lime
after peas, is offered air-slaked lime
at SIS a ton and prepared m at s13
a ten and ground limestone at $3.50
per ton, and asks which is cheapest.
Neither Of them would be chosen by
me. The air-slaked lime has taken
up a large lot Of water, and I would
not care to freight water needlessly.
The prepared lime, / believe, has
some potash added, and is sent out
with the idea that lime is d fertilizer.
You can get lime, if needed, cheaper,
and potash, if needed, cheaper. Then
$3.50 is too high for pulverized rock.
It ought not to cost more than $3.50
a ton where made, and cOuld be made
anywhere or the coast from oyster
shells cheaper than that, for where
I live we can buy oyster shells for 2
cents a bushel delivered. This would
be, ] about fifty cents a ton,
and they could be pulverized and sold
at a fine profit at $50 a ton. Years
ago l was buying the air-slaked lime,
or "agriculturaI' lime, as it is called.
A company wrote to me that, on a
guaranty that the lime was to be
used for agricultural purposes, they
would sell me lump lime in bulk in
carloads for II cents a bushel, and
on the same guaranty the railroads
would freight it at reduced rates. l
ordered a carload from them. 1t was
440 bushels. / hauled his 440 bushels
five and a half miles and slaked it
to a powder with water, and had
nearly 1000 bushels of slaked lime,
and had freighted and hauled only
the 440 bushels. l had plenty Of
water in the branch and did not need
to freight it in slaked lime. I be-
ieve that it is cheaper to buy lump
lime in carloads than to buy slakel
or the so-called agricultural lime, the
~sweepings Of the kilns.
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1910-09-20
LIME FOR

II has seemed at times that lime
is detrimental to the growth of cow
peas When applied directly to the
crop, while there have been a few ex-
periments made that seemed to show
that lime fayOrs peas as it does other
legCmes. Certainly, when there is an
abundance of humus-making material
in the soil lime Toe favor the growth
Of bacteria. All plants need carbon
for their growth. Green plants get
carbon only from the air through the
the air by the green leaves. Bacteria,
this, and one European scientist de-
termined that these microscopic plants
have a power that green plants have
not, in that they can take carbon
from chemical compounds in the soil,
and get carbon from lime carbonate.
Hence the lime faVOrs bacterial growth
in the soil. There are sections in the
South where no clover has been
grown, where artificial incubation is
necessary for rinse clover. This
fact was plainly shown in experim ents
at the Alabama station. But in sec
tons where clover of any sort has
grown the crimson clover thrives with
out any effort at incubation. A
farmer from the Valley of Virginia
once asked me if I had ever known
this clover to fail, as he had never
brown it to do SO. He farms in a
S. .tiOn where clovers have been com
mol crops for generations. Lime
may not promote the growth Of peas.
but after. the peas have been grown
lime will certainly be useful. and IT
a tiiree-year rotation one can profit
ably use lime once in six years.
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1910-09-20
WHAT FARMERS WANT To KNOW

With peas to be followed by wheat L
would NOV the peas for hay, and then
disk the stubble as fine as possible,
working in 400 pounds Of acid phos-
phate per acre. Let the mixture OF
lime, phosphate and potash, proposed
by one inquirer, alone. Lime is not
used as a fertilizer, and mixed with
phosphoric acid it simply makes 1t
less available. Lime is useful, of
course, where it is needle to correct
acidity in the soil or to hasten the
notification of organic matter, but
if your land needs lime, buy the fresh
unslaked lime and slake it yourself:
ard do not buy lime and fertilizer
mixed at a high price for the lime.
If you want a fertilizer carrying lime.
buy the basic Stag or Thomas phos-
phate, and you will get 40 per cent
of lime without paying for it, as the
price of the phosphate is determined
by the percentage OF p~hosphoric acid
it contains. I would never reploW a
pea stubble deeply, for at this late
period in the season it will be hard to
get the soil we'll packed down. But
disk the surface fine and drill with
a disk drill. The disk drill is greatly
to be preferred to the hoe drill.
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1910-09-20
VETCH AND CRIMSON CLOVER.

One reader has land in peas that
he wants to get in vetch on part n
crimson clover on another part. Now
the peas and cure for hay when the
pods mature. For the vetch, / UDuld
plow the stubble and harrow in Is
pounds of seed, and after narrowing
we'll would SOW two bushels Of oats an
acre with a disk drill. Get some soil
from an old garden where English
peas have been grown and scatter a
barrel of this an acre before harrow
ing, and it will inoculate for the vetch.
On the part for crimson clover I
would simply apply 800 pounds acid
phosphate and IS pounds OF muriate
of potash, if potash is needed, an acre
and disk the stubble over lightly and
SOW the seed. If you car get soil
from a field where this clover has
succeeded it will be well to use it, but
if any sort of clover, wild or cult
waited, has grown there, it will grow
we'll without any incubation.
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1910-09-20

One reader has been growing corn
two years followed by clover, and crop
has improved, but he thinks some
thing should be added as fertilizer.
If the clover following the corn has
been regularly turned under, he Will
be accommodating humus and nitrogen,
but he will need liberal applications
of acid phosphate and in his case,
potash to keep up the growth of corn
and clover. 1t Would De better to
lengthen the rotation, and follow the
corn with oats and crimson clover,
and cut these for hay and follow with
peas for hay, applying 800 pounds OF
acid phosphate and Is pounds Of
muriate of potash to peas; follow these
with rimson clover IN the stubble
and haul out mi on the clover N
Writer and turn for corn again in
spring. Or, if he keeps up the corn
and clover, l would SOW peas among
the corn and then SOW clover among
the dead peas after cutting the corn
off and apply the phosphate and
potash to the corn.
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1910-09-20
PERMANENT PASTURE.

To make a permanent pasture in
the coastal section / would now pillow
the land we'll and SOW rye. Plow the
rye under in the spring and then mark
off shallow burrows two feet apart
and plant cuttings of the running
stems Of Bermuda grass in the fur
rows and cover them and roll the land
tight to them. Do this about the first
of May, for Bermuda is a summe
grass and should not be planted in the
fail. Then in the fall you can stick
in pinches of seed of the Texas blue
grass Dol two or three feet apart.
These seed are matted together by a
sort of spider-web growth that makes
them hard to SOW, but planted here
and there it will soOn run over land
and give you a winter grass growth.
for it is purely q winter grass. o.
you might scatter in the fall SEED OF
the Virginia bluegrass called also
Canada bluegrass. 1t is Poa cOmpressa
and suits such lands better thar
Kentucky bluegrass, and it, too, is a
winter grass.
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1910-09-20
CANADA PEAS.

Canada peas may do fairly we'll #
sown in October with oats, but the
chances are against them anywhere
south Of New York State. It is useless
to SOW them in the South in the spring
as they are sown North. But we do
notneed the Canada peas in the South,
fol- the cowpeas, soy beans and velvet
beans are all far superior to the
Canada peas and make heavier crops.
THIS South hasa great advantage over
the North in the great variety of pro-
tein feed crops that can be grown. We
can SOW oat. in the fall. and after they
are harvested can get a heavy crop
Of peavine hay far better and heavier
than the Canada peas make anywhere.
Hence, there is no eason to regret
thai the anada peas does not thrive
in the South

fit up for growing winter lettuce with
cotton cloth on the frames Will cost
from $500 to $500 an acre, and the
cloth will have to be renewed every
second year. To fit up with glass
sashes on frames will cost about $4,-

run, they are cheaper than cloth.
