A GOOD FORMULA FOR SWEET .Po-
TATOES.

thought OF using 1000 pounds of 10
per cent acid, 500 pounds of cotton
seed meal, 800 pounds of muriate OF
potash, and 200 pounds of nitrate of
soda. The articles in the agricultural
column have been OF great help to
me.
BY mixing together 1000 pounds or
Is per cent acid phosphate. 500 pounds
Of cotton seed meal, 800 pounds of mu-
riate of potash. and 200 pounds of nit
rate Of soda, you would secure ton
of material containing about 10 pounds
of available phosphoric acid, 63 pounds
Of nitrogen, and 157 pounds Of pot
ash. This formula would analyze
about S:5 per cent of phosphorus 81
per cent of nitrogen. and rs per cent
Of potash. If used at the rate of 500
pounds to 1000 pounds per acre on
sandy land, it should answer well for
sweet potatoes. 1t is probable that
all of this formula should not be pun
under the ground at the time of planI.
ing on soil which is liable to leach.
Suppose you use 500 pounds at the
time of setting out the slips, and 800
pounds as side application.

blowing under green crops, or the APP

yard manure. On this kind of land
we would be disposed to use RAJ lib
eral fertilization for cotton. Suppose
you apply at planting time about 400
pounds of a 9-3-4. Use 200 to 800
pounds as a side application thirty
days after planting. and a second APP
plication is generally all that is need
ed, but on gravel land we would be
inclined TO use two applications, thus
lessening the tendency to loss, through
teaching. While the land which grew
peas will contain a little more nitro
gen, there would hardly be enough diff
ference between these two soil areas
to justify the use of different frtilizer
formulas.

about 1912 per cent of phosphoric acid,

This difficulty might be overcome by
using the formula at the rate of 500
pounds per acre under the drill row at
the time of planting and applying 100
pounds of nitrate of0 soda as a top
dressing alongside the drill row not
later than the first of July. This should

and if the land is properly prepared
and we'll cultivated and good seed used,
you should raise a good crop If sea-

manure for corn, it is best to put it
under the drill row rather than broad

due to the fact that this is a coarser

more liberal fertilization on that ac-

WHAT TO DO WITH THE MORRIS CANAL.

IN MONG the important matters TO come before the Leglsla
fA ture next winter is the question of Morris canal aoan
donment, now under Investigation by a commission to
ret the views of communities and interests represented. ms
question has been brought up in successive legislatures Tor Inc
last ten years. and every bill introduced was prepared by the
LAWYERS of the canal lessees and promoted by the lessees agents
Mt Trenton. Only by narrow chances were these bills, that
made a gift of the canal property to the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company, defeated. A tentative agreement between the state
and the company. %embodying a plan of abandonment by winch
fed by the Legislature last winter and a COMMISSION was APP
pointed to investigate and report to the next Legislature. by
the plan proposed the State would get the canal west OF Pater-
son. the railroad company would receive the 1000 feet OF vau-
Paterson and Fiddlers Elbow in Hudson county would be sold
and the proceeds divided between the State and the railroad
company Newark was conceded certain rights, including the
surface site of Centre Market and the right to bid on the canal
bed from Newark to Passaic. Jersey City was granted nothing,
and the canal from Fidders Elbow to the canal basin, extending
for three miles, was given to the Lehigh Valley. The water
rights belonging to the canal would revert to the State. Com
mission reports seldom influence the Legislature. They are
usually pigeonholed. So We look for nothing conclusive from
the present commission. The main question is the policy OF
completing the destruction of the canal IN view of the renas-
cence of canal enterprise in the United States and the value
of this canal. as a coal carrier to tidewater and as a feeder to
the great water terminal and industrial centre that Newark is
about to establish on Newark bay. That is the broad aspect of
the Morris canal question.

Of Newark. The office business is rapidly increasing. Postmas-
Ter Book shows that this year the Office will have Handled about
175.O 100000 pieces, as compared with 157, 952,000 last year. But
Congress will vote an appropriation only under pressure and
after it's necessity has been so well demonstrated that there
can be no reasonable objection. 1t was only by solicitation

A DEMONSTRATION FROM THE FIGURES.

n II occurs to the Paterson Press that If the (Republican) party
had been united it would have won a sweeping victory not
only in Passaic county. but in New Jersey and in the coun-
try" The Press reaches this conclusion by q careful examina-
ton of the election figures, which show that generally the Re
publican and Progressive vote outnumbered the Democratic. The
Press, deeply impressed by the figures, goes on to say, and more
in sorrow than in anger: "Ihe figures concusively prove that
had the party not been divided New Jersey would have given
its electoral vote for a Republican President by from 10000 to
10000 plurality; nearly every State which went Republican four
years ago would haze done so this fall and the presidential can
didate of that party would have been triumphantIy elected"
But figures and figuring are deceptive. Our Paterson contem-
porary ignores conditions vital to the calculation. But the Press
fails to point out which of the two candidates, Taft or Roosevelt,
fthe Republican party could have united on and won an over
whelming victory. 1t is hazy ON that point.
