WHAT TO PAY FOR YOUR FERTL
LIZER.
How To Figure the Cash Value Of {
Fertilizer From the Analysis Given.
W. E. HANGER,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

When we buy commercial fertilizer
we are buying food for our crops just
as we buy feeds for our livestock. Its
value per ton to us depends largely on
the kind of materials used in its make.
up. Fertilizers are generally spoken
of as 2-S-4 or 1875 fertilizers according
to their analysis, which means in the
case of the 2-S-4 fertilizer that it con-
tains per cent. Nitrogen, per cent.
Phosphoric Acid, and per cent. Pot.
ash. So when we have the analysis
given, we ought to have a good idea of
what ton of fertilizer is worth.
A simple and certain rule to follow
is to multiply the per cent. of nitrogen
by three, which in this case would be
2 times 3 or g. Then add to this fig
ure the per cent. available of Phos,
phoric Acid and that of Potash, which
would mean with a 2-S-4 fertilizer,
plus s plus or Is. By placing the
dollar sign before this last figure,
giving us SIS, you will have the APP
proximate cash value of 2-S-4 ferti-
lizer. If the amount of ammonia is
given instead of the nitrogen multiply
the per cent. of ammonia by 21s In
stead of 8.
To the value of the fertilizer we
must add the cost of mixing the ma
terials which is commonly Jckoned at
s5 a ton and this added to SIS Will
give s23 or close to what the selling
price of a 2-S-4 fertilizer ought to be.
we. of course, take it for granted that
the fertilizer offered is UP to its guar
antee. If you have any doubts, you
should write to the State Chemist at
College Park for the standing of the
fertilizer you think of buying.

A BANNER CROP.

Indeed, too much Importance cannot
be attached to the sprayings for fruit
protection against insects and disease.
Often the whole crop is lost through
injury by Curculio, followed by Brown
Rot. The Curculio winters in the
adult stage, appearing just as the foli'
age develops on peaches and plums.
1t feeds upon the foliage for little
while, then, the female beetle, laying
her eggs, does the principal injury to
the fruit by making semi-circular
cut in which its eggs are laid. The
egg matches in short time and the
small larva makes it's way into the
center of the fruit and there develops.
The fruit rots and drops, the larva,
escaping into the ground and later de-
veloping into the adult beetle.
The beetle is controlled by spraying
with Arsenate of Lead at the rate of 2
pounds to so gallons of water This
poison is usually combined with the
self-boiled lime sulphur wash, fungi
eide which will control Brown Rot.
The self-boiled lime sulphur is made
by shaking pounds of lime in suffi.
cient amount of water, and adding s
pounds of sulphur when the lime be-
gins to slack. The mixture must be
kept stirred and the water added as
needed, to keep pasty condition until
the lime is all slaked. The heat gen
Grated by the slaking lime causes the
sulphur to mix physically with the lime
in a very fine state, but should not be
continued long enough to form much
of sulphide compound as shown by
the mixture taking on yellow or brown
color The mixture is then strained
into the spray barrel and the arsenate
of lead added.
CAUTION:-TheC Concentrated Lime
Sulphur Solution, such as is used in
dormant or early spring spraying
should not be used on peach or plum
foliage under any circumstances.
Where Brown Rot has previously ap
peared, the first application of the
above mixture should be made just
after the fruit sets and before the
shucks are off the peaches. A second
application two weeks later is very
necessary and a third treatment
month before the fruit is ripe is very
desirable Not only will this treat
ment prevent injury from Curculio and
Brown Rot, but also from Peach Scab
and other diseases.

Between
Ourselves

Speaking of woman's extraVd-
eance in the matter OF dress,
Dorothy Dix says;
Its for men that women
dress. It's men who are to blame
for women's extravaganza, be-
cause men demand an attractive
appearance of women, ana
clothes arc an aid to beauty
when you have good looks, ana
a pretty fair substitute for pull
chritude when you haven't got II.
A woman may have a heart that
overfiows with tenderness and
love and generosity, but II II
beats under a frowsy. tll-made
frock, every man viii pass her
by for some selfish and narrow
lady who is a living fashion
plate. A woman may be the
most lively and intelligent of
companions, but she viii scintil-
late in vain If she appears in
public in a gown of the vintage
of 1900 and a hat that is a last
years bird nest
There is vast amount of
truth in the above. Men like to
see women becomingly gowned,
and it lilly becomes us to criti-
else. What II women did NOT
take an interest in pretty things
What if they did, as Miss Dix
says, go about in frowsy, i'll
made frocks-would we admire
them as we do?
Truly, IL is a woman's duty to
be we'll and tastefully goWned.
