Potash Scarcity Need
Not Alarm Farmer
Liberal Use OF Lime VIII Free Enough
Soil Potash TO Supply Average
Farm Crops, Such As Corn
And Wheat
H. J. PATTERSON.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The supply of potash for our fer
tilizer mixtures is now cut off by the
war and since we depend largely on
Germany for this material. 1t will
probably be sometime before it will
be again available While mucn of
the potash for the fall trade has been
shipped or is in this country, the fact
that there is no more in sight will
sause this supply to be used spar
lngly and at an advanced price.
This scarcity. however, need not Sc
riously concern the average Maryland
farmer, particularly, the grower Of
corn and wheat Most Of our soils
contain q plentiful supply of potash,
which can be made available for the
coming wheat crop if liberal APP
plication of lime is used; since limo
beside sweetening sour soils and lib
Grating nitrogen from organic matter
also makes the unavailable potash
compounds in the soil available for
the use Of the crop.
Experiments carried on at the State
Experiment Station through series
of years have proven that the use Of
lime answers the same purpose as the
application of fertilizers containing
potash, but only so long as there is
plenty of potash in the SOIL Since
we find most Maryland soils rich in
potash, we need not be concerned
that lining will exhaust the supply
for some time to come
Bearing this fact in mind, growers
are advised to dispense with fertilizer
mixtures containing potash if the adj
vance in price is Que to the rise in
the cost Of potash. For his wheat and
corn, the grower cannot afford to pay
much more for his potash supply than
he has in the past. In some sections,
where tobacco stems and stalks can be
secured, they may be used to supply
potash as they contain considerable
amount. The chances are, however,
that the supply will soon be exhausted
under present conditions, and for the
average farmer looking for cheap
source of potash for his wheat crop, no
better method can be followed than
lining his field before seeding.

MORE AIR NEEDED HERE.
ROY H. WAITE.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Many poultry raisers are too much
afraid their chickens will not be warm
enough. When the air gets bit
chilly they close all the doors and
pull down the windows to keep the
heat in. It's all well enough to keep
the house as warm as possible, but
when you attempt to get it warm by
closing it up, you introduce a factor
which is many times more detrimen-
tai to the birds. Fowls can't stand
dampness any more tnan you can, and
when you bottle up" a lot of them
in a close room the moisture they
breathe out soon fills the air and

TREAT YOUR SEED
WHEAT FOR SMUT
insure Clean Seed BY Killing the
Spores Of Sinking Smut With
FormaIin.
" NICHOLAS SCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

When field of smutted wheat is
threshed, many of the "smut balls"
are broken and the sound grains are
covered with the smut dust. AS far
as is known. this is practically the
only way infection takes place to any
serious extent. This infection is
especially serious when clean crop
is threshed with machine that has
just threshed smutted crop.
Before treating your wheat for stink
ing smut, it is best to remove all un-
broken smut balls. Since the smut
balls are much lighter than the sound
grain, thorough tanning will generally
do this. If tanning will not do it, the
grain should be poured into barrel
of cold water and thoroughly stirred
so that all the smut balls win come
to the surface where they can be
skinned off.

Jenny Lind's Graceful Tribute 10 Our
National Flag.
There Is pretty story told Of the
honor Jenny Lind once paid to the
American flag. 1t was when she was
in New York. more than sixty years
ago The frigate St Lawrence had
just returned from cruise. and the
midshipmen went to hear the Swedish
nightingale sing at Castle Garden the
alter. and the next day they called on
her in a body Their enthusiasm and
her glacioisIess som brought about
a visit to the ship and the acceptance
of luncheon rendered her. When she
was about to leave the ship she looked
up at the stars and stripes and said:
Il wish to salute your flag"
So, standing on the gangway, she
sang ''The Star Spangled Banner" 81
iently from all over the ship men gath
cred with uncovered heads until the
ships family were all assembled on
deck Nor were they her only audi
ence, for borne upon the still air her
song had been heard by many other
vessels near by. and when the won
drous voice ceased steamers blew their
whistles and exultant cheers rose from
all sides, filling the harbor with their
tribute Of applause for the beloved
artist and of loyal reverence for the
flag she had SO beautifully saluted.-
