Fall Ferti|izing VS.. Spring Ferti|izing
To the editor of The RANCH

To the editor of The Ranch:-
In your issue of November 18th.
page u, appears Mr.. j. A. Pearson s
article en- "Fall Fertilizing." l have
learned to doubt the wisdom Of gen.
eralizing about fertilizer matters and
it Bro. Pearson means his opening
sentence to be generally applied must
take issue with him. He says 81
have become fully convinced that
they commercial fertilizers) do the
crop Immediately following no good. :"
He says further on, 81 have tried
them exhaustively on rich and poor
land, and without result on the first
CROP" knowing nothing as to the
charac of the soils in question
can only speak as to the effect OF the
fertilizers used on my own farm dur
ing the past twenty years.
Twenty years ago began farming
in my present location, shot-clay and
gravelly upland. The first thing that
impressed itself on my mind was the
impossibility of getting satisfactory
crops without added fertility in some
form. Stable manure in sufficiently
large quantities was out of the ques-
ton; commercial fertilizers seemed
the only alternative. In the twenty
years that have elapsed [ have never
tried to raise berry or vegetable
crop without fertilizer, except for an
occasional check over. Do 1 obtain
results the first year? Most en-
phatically yes. L frankly admit the
superiority of stable manure when it
can be obtained, but In its absence L
never hesitate to undertake to raise a
crop of cabbages, corn and potatoes
without anything but commercial
fertilizers and this on upland too
poor to grow marketable crop OF
potatoes without manure. With some
forms of fertilizer like nitrate Of soda,

immediate. In the case OF nitrate OF
soda applied in spring not later than
June LIST, so far from not helping the
first crop there will be nothing of it
left to help fall crop; all the fer
tilizing element will be consumed.
This will not apply to bone meat, fish
or any of the commercial fertilizers
having an animal source, but even
these if properly applied will more
than pay for themselves by their effect
on the first crop. Personally would
never advise applying fertilizers in
the fall except on strawberries, grass
grain or other crops that will take
care of all fertilizer as fast as it be-
comes available.
have always compounded my own
fertilizers and still prefer to do so as
l can modify them to suit the different
crops and varying soil. l have said
that stable manure is to be preferred
to fer tilizers and ii forced to choose
between them would take the former,
if l could get it; but better results
can, in my estimation. be obtained
by combining the two. Last spring |
raised an excellent crop of early cab
bage; heads weighing about five
pounds each, without a pound of
stable manure, and on an adjoining
plot a good crop OF early potatoes, by
using light dressing of stable manure
and about 800 pounds of comm rcial
fertilizer to the acre. In the middle
of the latter plot l left two short rows
to which no fertilizer was applied;
the difference all through the grow
ing season was marked and at digging
time the yield of these two short rows
was not so per cent of the balance OF
the patch, taking hill for hill, yet ex-
cept for use of the commercial fer
tilizer there was absolutely no differ
ence in the treatment of the crop.
1 could multiply instances like the
above that have occurred during the
past twenty years and my advice to
farmers on shot clay and gravelIy up
land is go slow about fall fertilizing
except on some growing crop. Never
use nitrate of soda until the crop is
up, then use it sraringly and repeat
the dose at intervals of two to four
weeks. Seed all your potatoes and
tru, patches etc. with rye or vetcb
or some other growing crop in the
fall to pillow under in the spring. Ii
any one wants to test this matter for
himself let him take the following:
Superphosphate 300 pounds, fish scrap
or bone meal 300 pounds, sulphate of
potash 100 pounds, nitrate of soda
100 pounds, ground lime stone 300
pounds. Mix all together, except
nitrate of soda and if for potatoes
apply in hill or furrow at planting
time. Apply so pounds of nitrate of
soda as soon as plants are up and
balance about three weeks later. Do
not mix air slaked lime with any
animal fertilizer or manure, If you
are afraid to mix the ground lime
stone as above, apply separately be-
fore or after planting. Do not let
seed or potatoes come into direct con-
tract with commercial fertilizer, plant
seed first, cover to depth of one-half
inch or more then apply fertilizer.

THE kAU DITCH BILL.

Finally the Kau ditch project APP
pears to have come before the people
and their representative in the Leg
islature as specific proposition that
can be understood and, what is quite
as much to the point, free from iokers
that will cause irrigation schemes to
| crop up over night by the hundreds.
We believe the people of this Terri
tory are not only favorable to water
development but they are anxious
to have the Kau ditch carried to com
pletion, If in the accomplishment of
this they are not called upon to give
a private corporation every right, title
and interest in property and priv
ileges for miles around.
With the public properly safe
guarded, as is entirely possible, the
Kau ditch resolution will be the
foundation for an enterprise that will
be of the greatest value in the de-
velopment of a section of Hawaii the
possibilities of which have hardly
been tapped.
The measure needs careful reading
and the widest discussion. 1t is the
first Of its kind for this Territory.
Therefore points will arise through
discussion, that have not occurred to
either the promoters or the public.
The most satisfactory method of
handling this and all other irrigation
enterprises of the Territory would be
for the Territory to build and operate
the ditch
But this seems too much for the
Territory to tackle. Private capital
must do the work. The Territory
gains great benefits and should at
least be able to grant charter that
will give fair return on the invest
ment and a square deal for all con-
cerned

II Speaker Holstein feels that he
is enthroned dictator by reason of his

ties of the group, whether others like
it or not, they are due for an awak-

The reason for this is, nothing more
or less than the plain fact that the
people of this Territory won't stand
for bossism. That's all.

EDUCATION IN TRAVEL.

ATHENS, Pa, Feb. 18.-The
members of the Athens Board of
Education today decided to dis
pense with the old-fashioned COM
mencement exercises at the Ath-
ems High School this year and to
try an innovation. Instead of
spending the money yearly re-
quired for the commencement ex-
ercises the board will pay the
expenses Of the graduates for a
trip to Washington, ID. c., and
several days sightseeing there,
which they consider will be far
more beneficial than having the
graduates prepare orations.
The money which the parents
of the graduates usually spend
for clothes and other things need
ed for the commencement will
be given to the graduates for
spending money on the trip. The
pupils are highly elated over the
new plan.

A majority of the members of the

direct blow at equal representation

We refer to the vote on the Sheldon

Honolulu's present government should
