DOES NOT CAUSE SOIL ACID
Doubtful II Small Amount Of Land
Plaster Generally Applied Has
tx a Any Serious Effect.

The fear that the application Of
land plaster makes soils acid, is un-
founded. AT least 1t is doubtful If
the small amount generally applied
has any serious and immediate in
huence upon the acidity Of the soil.
n. This is the belief Of e. B.. Hart Of
the College OF Agriculture OF the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin, who from time
to time has carried on numerous ex-
periments to determine the influence
Of applying land plaster, rock phos-
plate and other fertilizers to fields
upon which various crop rotations
were followed. 81 "a: h, /. i5si
@ The theory that land plaster ap-
piled to soil would make it acid. is
based on the assumption that the
plants remove from the soil more
calcium, than sulphur, thereby leaving
behind a greater proportion of the
acid part Of the land plaster. On the
contrary, it has been shown that the
common cereals, wheat, oats, corn,
barley and such other plants as the
turnip, rutabaga, cabbage and onion,
make positively greater. demands for
sulphur than for calcium and appli-
cations Of land plaster for such crops
will tend to make the soils alkaline
rather than acid. Such plants as
the meadow grasses, clover, alfalfa,
sugar beets and tobacco, use more
calcium than sulphur and in their
case the application Of land plaster
would have a tendency toward deyel-
oping acid soil. Potatoes use about
equal amounts Of calcium and sui
phur, and land plaster could not pos
sibly influence soil reaction in this
case s&ss95 vs.. ST.

is plenty. When a few days old they

days of age and finely cracked, dry

sweet and clean. Avoid musty corn,
scrap that is fit only for fertilizer,
and stale drinking water. Unless
there is some grit in the barn waste
that is used for sbrooder floor it should
be- supplied. Chicks need a warm
place to retire to when cold, an open
room to get out into and exercise, as
well as a grass run to range over
when two weeks old: Close confine-
ment to hot brooders tends to give
leg weakness. AS the chicks grow
in age the heat OF the brooder can be
reduced to about 80 degrees. Too
