WE SHOULD HAVE
BETTER GRASS YIELDS
Seeding Timothy TO Itself With Lib
eral Top Dressing Doubles
the Yield,
NICHOLAS sCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.


The yield of timothy hay in Mary
land. both in quality and in the tons
per acre is far below what could be
piofitably produced on the land now
IN meadow. In fact. farmers have
harvested so many unsatisfactory
crops Of late years that they are in
clined 10 try something new as
forage crop if anything can be found
that would be an improvement on
timothy. red top, or the clovers.
The remedy, l believe, is not to be
found in new crop. but In better
cultural methods than those We al
ready have. Recent experiments at
the Maryland Experiment Station indi-
cate that q much improved yield may
be secured by seeding grass to itself
in the early fall and by the proper use
of fertilizers in the spring. These
tests carried on in three fields, one OF
timothy, one Of red top, and one Of a
mixture OF timothy, red top, and clover
showed that phosphoric acid when ap-
piled alone as in raw bone, acid rock.
or any other material had very little
effect on timothy, red top, or any
other grass. On the other hand.
nitrogen or ammonia, especially as
found in Nitrate Of Soda, regularly
gave large increase in yield.
Taking into account, the ease of
applying the fertilizer and the quality
of the hay, the best results were got
ten by using equal parts Of nitrate OF
soda and acid phosphate at the rate Of
$50 pounds OF each per acre. AS COM
pared to strips Of grass adjoining that
had no fertilizer used on it the yield
in 1912 was 1.33 tons per acre as
against 2.94 tons where the above mix
ture was applied as top dressing.
In 1918 the yield was 81 tons. as
against 2.g3 tons or over three times
the yield on land where no fertilizer
was used; $50 pounds of nitrate of
sode was found to be the most
economical amount to use in making
the greatest profits possible by top
dressing
The fertilizer should be applied as
soon as the grass starts to grow.

STATE GRANGE PLANS FOR
A PERMANENT HOME
Maryland Farmers Organization VIII
Erect Building As Memorial
To Founder.

The Maryland State Grange is pre-
pairing to erect a $4,000 State Home
adjoining the property of ths Agricul-
tural College at College Park as a
memorial to o. H. Kelley. founder OF
the National Order. This Will provide
a hall in which the State Grange may
hold its regular and special meetings
and will house the property and rec
ords OF the organization. Visiting
grangers will also be entertained in
rooms set apart for their use.
This building will be used as meet
ing place for the members Of Grange
largely made up of students at the
Agricultural College and will provide
them with q training school in the
forming Of farmers organizations
while they are being educated in bet.
ter methods of farming and home
making. About thirty students from
Grange districts will find lodgings IN
this home, the scholarships for these
lodgings being at the disposal of such
of the county oranges as contribute
$500 to the erection Of the b0ilding.
No greater opportunity has ever
been offered the organized farmers OF
any State in bringing them In closer
touch with the interests and manage
ment Of their Agricultural College and
In making it do the work required OF
them. It is hoped that by this means
the principles of Grange Organization
which have been found helpful in many
neighborhoods may be extended to all
sections OF the State.

FEEDING POTATOES
FOR An EARLY CROP


t. H. WHITE.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.
Potatoes should follow some heavily
manured crop, SO that fresh manure
need not be used since 1t will be likely
to cause potato scab. Land in heavy
sod should not be used for potatoes
unless plowed the fall before and well
rotted. If the land has been properly
taken care Of as above. the application
of commercial fertilizer is all that ia
needed to get an early crop, weather
conditions being favorable.
A fertilizer with Z to 8 per cent Of
phosphoric acid. to per cent.
nitrogen, and TO per cent. potash
gives good results A good mixture
for early potatoes is as follows;
Dissolved Phosphate Rock, 1000 lbs.
Dried Blood, 600 lbs.
Nitrate of Soda. 200 lbs.
sulphate Of Potash, 200 lbs.
This mixture should be applied
broadcast at the rate Of 1900 pounds
per acre, and be well mixed into the
soil with harrow or cultivator.
If you wish to hasten the growth OF
the young plants. one hundred pounds
each Of nitrate Of soda and dissolved
rock per acre should be scattered In
the row when the potato is planted
The above mixture provides for plenty
Of available phosphoric acid which is
reedsd to make the plant get its
groNta in short time. Early maturity
is important. not only on account OF
being able to get the crop TO market
as soon as possible but also because
some Of the early varieties viii not
stand the moisture and heat OF the
early summer.
