THE NEED OF PHOSPHORIC ACID.

Evidently your land does not contain
anything like a sufficient amount Of
available phosphoric acid, and apparently
it is deficient in vegetable matter, or
else the corn would not fire SO badly.
1t is possible, of course, that the trou-
BILE is due to a fungous disease which
sometimes affects corn, and is known as
"frenching" If this be true. your only
chance of controlling the trouble is to
stop raising corn on the land for a
few years. You might try the use this
season of a high grade fertilizer on your
corn, say at the rate Of 500 pounds per
acre and then add to this, say 200 pounds
Of high grade acid phosphate. The best
way for you to handle the crushings
from your syrup plant Is to scatter them
uniformly over the land and plow them
under This will be better than put
ting them in the drill row. 1t would not
be desirable to sprinkle caustic lime on
them, as that would cause them to burn
up rapidly and there would also be an
excessive loss of nitrogen. Lime on this
land should at best be applied In the
fall and always as top dressing. While
the stalks OF your syrup mill are not rich
in plant food they will help to supply
vegetable matter and will add fermenta-
ton by their decay in the SOIL Nitrate
of soda may be used as top dressing
on corn at the second application. This
is particularly desirable on land where
there is a tendency for 1t to fire up pro-
vided the firing is due TO a lack Of soil
moisture. OF course. IL a fungous disease
is the cause OF the trouble an applica-
ton of nitrogen cannot ne expected to
correct 1t.
