Gathering and Using Waste Fertility

select say about five acres each year to
give renovation, apply about 100 loads of this
woods dirt and about Is or 20 loads of barn.
yard manure, thoroughly incorporated with the
soil and it produces good crops.
Some land Of course will not need quite so
much of this. but some of my land is of clay
loan and in former years has not been very
rich and thus it requires heavy applications to
bring it up to high producing state.
Not only in my country is it possible to have
such supplies, but in many places such sources
are available The trouble is that these
sources are overlooked.
l know few farmers in my neighborhood
who have bought few cars Of manure and had
it shipped from Chicago and on their farms
there are waste places that they can get about
all the fertility they need to mix with their
soil
Five years ago bought one car myself and
must say that l have had far better results
from the land that received the wood leaf
mould and dirt than from the Chicago manure
In fact l have never used anything that gave
better immediate results than does this. have
had to buy a little lime occasionally. but never
had to buy nitrogen and never expect to.
In using this in my cold frames all the spe-
cial treatment that it receives is to thoroughly
work it into d good soil fairly good soil.
As to my hot beds l use the fire beds and APP
ply the rich dirt for planting the seed.
While | am a great believer in buying the
proper elements of plant food when it is neces-
sary. vet also believe in looking around and
trying TO find some source near home from
which to supply needs and save money.
l think there should be just as great econ
omy practiced in feeding the soil as in feed
ing the animals The cost OF production mugt
be considered
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1912-02-08

Today the subject OF procuring a supply OF
manure is concerning the minds of great
many farmers. This has given me much wor
ry at times and is only mastered by hard Ia
Dor and study
Perhaps, however, l have not secured my
manure all in the same way as most gardeners
Go. True, all farmers and gardeners cannot
secure a great amount of their manure as |
have secured much of mine.
In the first place l have tried to make az
much manure on my farm as possible and also
tried to save as near all of it as possible Also
have made a practice OF always having some
green growth to turn under at different times
and derived much benefit from it.
But much of my farm fertility has come
from % wood land. which | several
years ago purchased from a neighbor. This
land is rough and stony.
The timber is worth very little except to
keep the land shaded and shed foliage to rot
The rock on the land is Of a gravelly nature
and when it rains seems to dissolve somewhat
and when mixed with the rich dirt and my
farm soil. seems to make an ideal soil.
Here in my country there is much land that
is of this type and fit for nothing practically.
or at least cannot be cultivated
bought this piece of land ten years ago and
have hauled a great number OF loads of rich
dirt and sand mixed every year and still have,
it seems, as much to haul as when | first
bought It.
I gave 500 for the % acres at first and
have received that much back every year in
fertility
However, l do not try to cover my entire
farm every year, but rather select a few acres
and have some green crop to turn under and
apply about 20 loads of this fertility per acre,
with only few loads of barn-yard manure. say
about four or five. This is not done to the

huge insulators Of pattern usually seen only
in the vicinity of Niagara Falls and elsewhere
where high-power current is generated or

Briggs are trying to demonstrate Is that static
electricity when applied to soil and air will
stimulate the growth of plants in such environ
ment. There is ample evidence Of the sound
of the theory within reasonable limits
Indeed, the benefit that may be conferred by
such electric discharges is illustrated by the
iourshing development (untl frostbitten) OF
plants in the Arctic regions where there is, OF
course, mighty little sunlight. but where the at
mosphere is heavily charged with electricity.
Moreover. preliminary experiments which were
recently conducted in England along the same
lines that Uncle Sam is pursuing indicated
that there was an increase of 80 to 40 per cent
in the yield Of wheat that had been thus dosed
with electricity, and the wheat likewise
brought better price per bushel after test
had evidenced that it was superior for bread
baking
The officials of the department of agricul-
ture make it very clear that their present ven
ture in electrocultuTe-as the new activity is
termed-s purely experimental and they make
no prophecies to just what they hope to
discover. The interesting point is that they
are determined to find out just how much
electricity will do to aid the farmer They
have made the most elaborate plans, too, for
measuring the influence exerted. To this end
the experimental area has been apportioned in
fourteen plots of uniform size and all have
been planted in the same good grade of win
ter wheat. Seven of the beds lie under the
network of wires and thus receive the benefit

the two plots in each pair and by contrasting
the production by the seven pairs of beds the

is not the intention at any time to keep the

be likely to do more harm than good. Late

PATHPINDING CAR
BACK IN CAPITAL
Cole Machine, Which Made Scout
Trip to Philadelphia, Does Dis
tance Without Mishap.

With the handsome, sturdy. purple
Cole bespattered with mud and the oc-
cupants travel stained and weary, the
members OF the Washington pathhnding
crew arrived home at SIS o'clock yes
terday evening. having covered sS6 miles
on their three-day jaunt in behalf OF the
the Automobile Club Of Washington's re-
liability contest.
The pathfinders left Philadelphia yes
terday morning at $50 o'clock. returning
by way of Chester. Wilmington. New
ark, Havre de Grace, Belair, Baltimore,
and Laurel, and were met at the Dis
trict line by a large delegation of local
motorists, headed by lie Roy Mark, vice
president of the Touring Club of Ameri-
ca; G. r. Bowie, local representative for
the Cole, and members Of the Automo-
big Club.
The tourists were given a rousing send
OF in the Quaker City by President ].
J. Cole. Of the Cole Motor Car Com
pany; c. P. Henderson. general sales
manager, and the New York and Phila-
delphia representatives, W. L. Colt. and
H. A. Rowan. as well as a large gather
ing of Quaker City newspaper men who
were on the job. not only as news
with the pathfinders, all, with one ex-
ception. being former Washington news
paper men.
The entire journey was made without a
single mishap. the Cole working like a
charm every minute Of the long grind,
up hill, down, through sand, and over
bumps.
Every preparation necessary to guide
the contestants on their way has been
carefully attended to, and when the en-
trants leave Washington the mornig Of
June II, they will have but one worry
to keep their cars from going bad. The
route is not one that will injure a car
or too severe a test. but one that will
prove a cars worth.
The entrants will be well taken care
Of at every control and can look forward
to a royal reception from the Harrisburg
Motor Club and the Quaker City Motor
Club. The entries will probably number
