FERTILIZER FOR THE RYE CROP?

National Crop Improvement Service.1
Many farmers have much to learn
about growing rye. This is shown by
the large number of poor rye crops
reported on every hand, and yet good
crops of rye can be grown without
much trouble and expense. The e,-
sential thing is to use the right kind
of fertilizer.
Since an average crop of rye (say
80 bushels of grain to the acre) re-
moves from the soil in the straw and
the grain IS pounds of Potash and 26
pounds of Phosphoric Acid, it will be
seen that Potash must be supplied to
the rye crop if a full yield is to be
expected. From an analysis of the
rye plant it is evident that both the
straw and the grain require a COM
plete fertilizer and that when both
are taken together the manural re-
uuirements of the crop is mainly for
Nitrogen and Potash. In addition to
supplying actual plant food essential
to growth and maturity, potash es-
pecially useful in giving strength and
stability to the straw and plumpness
and weight to the grain.

A Valuable Article of Commerce
Equal in Some Cases to Grain.

National Crop Improvement Service1
The ripe straw from which the
grain has been thrashed is also a
valuable article of commerce, its value
per acre equalling in many instances
the value of the grain. 1t is used ex-
tensively for stuffing hors" collars,
for manufacturing into paper, for
packing fruit trees and other nursery
products, and as bedding for live
stock, horse trainers and exhibitors
especially favoring it for this latter
purpose. The straw for horse collars
must receive special care and treat
ment to bring high price, but mar
ket of considerable extent could I'M
doubtedly be developed if the industry
were properly managed.

HOW TO GROW RYE.
Climate Soil, Seed, TiIIage and Care
of Rye-Rye a Money Crop.
BY c. p. Bull.

National Crop Improvement Service.1
Some important factors in the grow
ing of rye set forth in brief by G. P.
Bull, Agricultural Experimental Sta
ton, University of Minnesota:
Kinds Of soil best adapted to grow
ing rye: Any soil not depleted of its
fertility, though it will do better on
impoverished land than any of our ce-
reals sandy loan and loan or clay
loans are best.
Climate best suited to growing rye:
Any spring wheat region will be found
suited to rye. 1t will also grow well
in winter wheat districts, but in the
latitude of the 45 degree parallel will
probably grow best rye.
Methods of preparing the ground:
Flowing (sub-surface packing if dry,
rolling and disking if lumpy; harrow.
Depth to pillow for rye: Depends on
the soil; to inches for sandy to
clay soils.
Preparing the seed bed: Depends
on conditions of soil Make 1t fine and
firm.
Best fertilizers for rye: Barnyard
manure used with good 4, 5, 6 or Z
year rotation Of crops.
Disking for rye: Good crops Of fall
rye have been grown on cereal stubble
(crop harvested) when the land was
disked and seed sown; not to be rec
commended but can be done.
Selecting seed rye: Same as for
wheat--with tanning mill and graders.
Varieties best adapted to soil and
climate of various states: Native win
ter varieties for Minnesota and north
ern climates; Minnesota No. 2 for Min
nesota and northern climates; spring
rye is not recommended.
Amount of seed to SOW to the acre:
III bu. per acre.
Best time for seeding: Sept. 1 to
Oct. 9Th; best about Sept. 18th.
Where to get seed: In Minnesota
and the northwest get seed stock of
Minnesota No. 2 from Experiment
Station, University of Minnesota.
Farmers should grow one variety.
But practically speaking, there is but
one variety commonly grown.
Effect of freezing in winter and
spring: Winter rye is perfectly hardy.
Best treatment for rye diseases:
Smut does not bother rye. Ergot is
bad. Use pure seed stock. Grade
seed and rotate crops and use grading
mill most vigorously and long.
Insect enemies Of rye-how to COM
bat: Does not seem to be bothered to
anv annrocia HE extent
How to take care of crop after har-
vest: Shock; thresh at once as soon
as dry, or stack. 1t will not pay to
stack if it can be threshed from shock.
Rye as food for animals: A little
heavy-laxative.
Rye as human food: o. K. More
of it should be used. People have a
false idea of what is best for health
and fashion.
Rye as cover crop: good cover
crop.
Value of rye as green manure: One
of the best-the best not counting the
legumes.
Profits in rye growing compared to
other grains: A top notcher. Just as
good as any when properly grown.
Rye as a forage crop: Excellent
offers great opportunities as a green
pasture both fall and spring, and will
afterWard produce a profitable seed

New York, illinois and Missouri and
we find by this new census report
that they had II, SIG, 900 fewer apple
trees in 1910 than they had ten years
before. Such falling off in bearing
apple trees will account in part for
the decrease in production. This de-
crease in the number Of apple trees
is not to be interpreted that no new
orchards have been set out but that
the growers in these states have found
out that many of their old trees are
Improbable and have dug them out.
This digging out is going on all over
the United States where old and un-
profitable orchards are to be found.
When we consider all these facts we
can see that over production is far
off except possibly in years like 1896.

There are said to be 10000 boxes
of apples in cold storage in San Fran
cisco that would have been sent to
England but for the great coal and
dock strikes. Had they been sent at
the proper time they would have
rotted on shipboard because they
could not have been unloaded. This
condition of things will entail heavy
loss upon the owners of these apples
for which there is no redress. How

is a statement from Madison, Wis
consin, June 10th. There are some
exceptions to universally good apple
crop.
The first car of peaches from the
Hale orchards in Georgia this season
arrived in New York on Monday,
June 10th, and sold at $500 per
carrier. The report says "The con-
dition of the peaches was good, but
they were very small"
The peach growers in Eastern Texas
have arranged to have 600 Mexican
laborers sent to them to assist them
in harvesting their immense crop of
EIberta peaches. These Mexicans had
been engaged in the onion fields at
Laredo, Texas. When peaches get
ripe they will not wait but must be
harvested at once or spoil. What will
we do in the Yakima valley this year
when our Elbertas are ready to move?
One grower has suggested the secur-
ing of Japanese and we may have to
do that.
The cherry crop is larger this year
in the Yakima valley than was ever
known before. But the apple crop
will not be as large as some have pre-
dicted. The drop has thinned the
apples very much in some orchards.
The crop prospects seem to be for
big crop of peaches in the South and
light crop in the North and a
medium crop in the United States.
