ty, nitrogen is absolutely necessary.
Leguminous crops as recommended
are excellent and no good farmer will
neglect them; but in the absence Of a
liberal supply of stable manure L
must have quickly available forms of
nitrogen for early crops. That my

in the September number was:
Superphosphate 800 pounds; fish scrap
300 pounds; sulphate of potash 100
pounds; nitrate of soda 100 pounds;
ground limestone 800 pounds; ground
bone was mentioned as a substitute
for the fish scrap but makes a less
satisfactory combination for my
especial purpose. I would now leave
out the lime or potatoes. One ton of
lime to the acre on grass or grain is
not too much. 1 believe that neither

it not be possible that we are both

chasing potatoes among the Injuries
Of this nation the coming winter and
quoting unheard Of prices for that
tuber in the field, wherever it can be
found.
In most states east of the Rocky
mountains present prices range from
$3.50 to $500 per bushel, which
amounts to from two and one half to
three cents per pound. With such
prices prevailing Immediately after
the crop is matured and marketable,

partment of agriculture, after the
announcement of the July report on

Editor Ranch,
Dear Sir:
I have just read with much interest
j. A. Pearsons reply to my article on
fertilizers and the best time to use
them. First let me say that I know
nothing of the soil which brother
Pearson is farming but should judge
it to be quite fertile. My own soil is
naturally of low fertility and my
article was intended apply to such
soils and to these only. Let me re-
peat what was said in my first article.
By an application of from 1000 to 1000
pounds of the fertilizers mentioned
can grow satisfactory crops of cabbage,
potatoes and other garden truck on
shot clay and certain gravelly uplands
which are naturally too poor to pro-
duce either of these crops to market
able size.
The article in the September num-
Der was written last winter, and in
the light of this seasons work I must
make one suggestion, that is, lime is
not needed on either potatoes or
strawberries and if it comes into
direct contact with young growing
potato is likely to produce scabby
tubers. On my soil scabby potato
is curiosity, but this year on an old
sod, which has filed the ground with
4o11 Of linn
caused some scab; though on check
rows without lime the scab was near
ly as bad. My idea in using the
ground limestone on potatoes was to
get fuller results from the fertilizers
and not for any direct benefit an
ticipated from the lime itself. On
every other crop, and especially on
beets, cabbage, carrots, etc., the mix
ture recommended gave excellent
results. The small amount of lime
used would do little more than offset
the acid in the suerphosphate.
Some of our gravelly uplands were
never intended for anything but to
grow potatoes, but some of these finer
gravely soils with good depth to
hardpan by wise cropping and fertiliz-
ing are hard to beat for growing extra
early crops of potatoes and cabbage.
In spite of all that the seed companies
and fertilizer companies may say l
would not SOW potash, salts or super
phosphate on bare land in the fall on
grass or grain; it would be all right,
but on bare land should expect to
find the phosphoric acid had passed
into unavailable forms and so locked
up In the soil to become only slowly
available.
What Mr.. Pearson says about an
excess of nitrogen may be true in his
case, but used as l advise you can
gage the yield of potatoes by the size
of the tops, on my SOIL
My own experience has put me at
variance with much that has been
written about potash in our clay up
lands; from potash alone except on
legumes l get absolutely no results.
