It should be borne in mind that the
present apparent cessation in the.
activity of the beetle is deceptive, Id
that it's presence at this time of the
year is not so clearly indicated by the
fading of the needles. This is due to
the fact that the needles fade more
slowly in winter than in summer. Tim
Der owners should belar this in mind
and would do we'll to keep careful
watch for the. fading Of trees from
now until the middle of May, and in
form themselves as to the specific
methods of control. ~
Circulars and special farmers bull

beetle are being sent out by the de-
partment of agriculture to persons

CLEMSON EXTENSION WORK.
Article 50.

). X < = i x x x 4 x < X X !:
The ground untreated phosphate
rock or Floats is sometimes used as
a fertilizer and we receive inquiries
from. time to time regarding it. This
article is written to answer such IN
quiries.
The reason that the phosphate rock
is treated with sulphuric acid and
converted into acid phosphate is that
we may have soluble salt that will
spread through the soil in the soil
solution. When it spreads through the
soil and comes in contact with certain
bases present there, such as lime,
iron, and aluminium, the phosphoric
acid is reconverted into a less solu-
BILE form, but it is spread, in a thin
film, over soil grains and a great sur
face is exposed for the feeding roots
of plants to get their food.
Now, in the case Of the floats a
very fine mechanical grinding is alb
solutely necessary in order that there
may be as much surface exposed as
possible by mechanical means to over
come as nearly as possible the lack
of chemical treatment. If you intend
buying Floats" specify that 80 per
cent. shall pass through a sieve 100
meshes to the inch and if possible get
ground rock that has not been burn
ed, for the burning would tend to
make that portion of the phosphorus
that is combined with iron and alum
mum less easily soluble.
At best "foats" is very soluble and
We advise its use in only two cases:
Spread in the stables or. cattle sheds
tat the rate of about. 100 pounds to the
ton Of manure. This should be done
at intervals 50 that the acids Of the
manure may come in contact with the
"foats" and in a measure decompose
it. The second case is where the soil
is we'll supplied with decayingorganie
matter. This decaying organic mat
ter is constantly liberating carbonic
acid which is absorbed" by the soil
water and is our strongest natural
solvent. When floats is applied to
such a. soil much of the phosphorus
becomes available.
The price per pound of phosphorus
in floats" is about one-third that of
a pound of available phosphorus in
acid phosphate, but it must be borne
in mind that it IS in an insoluble form
and should only be used under such
conditions that at least one-third will
become available.
