FERTILIZER FOR THE RYE CROP?

National Crop Improvement Service.]
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
30 bushels of grain to the acre) re-
moves from the soil in the straw and
The grain As pounds of Potash and 26
pounds of Phosphoric Acid, it will be
seen that Potash must be supplied to
the rye crop if 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 CON-
plete fertilizer and that when both
are taken together the manural re-
quirements 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
nd weight to the grain.

Luminous Metal Discovered.

For generations the peasants Of
Cornwall have handed down a legend
that at night there may be seen a
family luminous metal among the
rocks brought from the mines of the
county. A British scientist has proved
that this story is by no means based
on imagination. A specimen Of the
mineral autunite, which is also found
in Wales, was sent to him from Portu-
gal because Of it's shining character.
He finds that it closely resembles ar
tificially prepared salts of uranium,
and that it's luminosity is due to spon-
taneous radio-activity. The light it
sheds is stronger than that Of nitrate
of uranium. Upon parting with it's wa
ter Of specialization the metal loses
it's luminosity.

Public Schools.

In antiquity the masses of the peo

people-began. practically. with John
Calvin's rule in Geneva, from which
time popular education had steadily
gained ground. The free school sys.

ment. It was not until 1850, however,
that the free public schools began to
get itself firmly rooted in the British
Isles. In this country from the start
the idea of universal education was
championed by Jefferson and other
leaders among us, and the idea has
never ceased to be fundamental with
us, as absolutely necessary to the
prevention of the liberty on which the
government Is founded.

Equal in Some Cases to Grain.

The ripe straw from which the
grain has been thrashed is also a
valuable article of commerce, it's value
per acre equalling in many instances
the value of the grain. It is used ex-
tensively for stuffing hore~ 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

ket of considerable extent could un-
doubtedly be developed If the industry
were properly managed.

HOW TO GROW RYE.
Climate Soil, Seed, TiIlaee and Caro-
OF Rye-Rye 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 c. p.
Bull, Agricultural Experimental Sta
ton, University of Minnesota:
Kinds of soil best adapted to grow.
Ing rye: Any soil not depleted Of it's
fertility, though it will do better on
impoverished land than any of our CO.
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 plow for rye: Depends on
The soil; to inches for sandy to
:lay soils.
Preparing the seed bed: Depends
IN conditions Of soil. Make it fine and
drm.
Best fertilizers for rye: Barnyard
manure used with good 4, s, 6 or Z
FEAR rotation of crops.
Disking for rye: Good crops of fall
sye have been grown on cereal stubble
(crop harvested) when the land was
lisked and seed sown; not to be rec
,mmended but can be done.
Selecting seed rye: Same as fol-
Eheat-with tanning mill and graders
Varieties best adapted to soil and
:limate of various states: Native win
ter varieties for Minnesota and north
Drn climates; Minnesota No. for Min
aesota and northern climates; spring
I'VE is not recommended.
Amount of seed to SOW to the acre:
" blu. per acre.
Best time for seeding: Sept. 1 te
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
Ipring: Winter rye is perfectly hardy.
Best treatment for rye diseases:
Smut does not bother rye. Ergot is
Dad. Use pure seed stock. Grade
seed and rotate crops and use grading
mill most vigorously and long.
Insect enemies of rye-how to com
Dat: Does not seem to be bothered to
any appreciate extent
How to take care of crop after har
vest: Shock; thresh at once. as soon
IS dry, or stack. It will not pay to
tack II It can be threshed from shock.
Rye as food for animals: A little
aeavy-laxative.
Rye as human food: o. X. More
# it should be used. People have a
'alse idea of what is best for health
md fashion. 80 & ss5'
Rye as cover crop: A good cover
crop: ~'~>~-
Value of rye as green manure: One
II the best-the best not counting the
egumes.
Profits in rye growing compared to
,ther grains: A top notcher. Just as
good as any when properly grown.
Rye as forage crop: Excellent
pliers great opportunities as green
pasture both fall and spring, and will
afterward produce a profitable seed
crop.
