NEEDS OF SOME CROPS.

Beans and peas, being legumes, do
not require very heavy applications Of
nitrogen. About 500 pounds an acre
Of a 2-910 mixture are usually sufl-
Gent.
Tomatoes, elephants and peppers
must not be supplied with an over
abundance Of free nitrogen for the
same 81 Potash should be nigh.
With the cucurbits also an excess of
nitrogen is to be avoided. The min
eral elements are most important. Ma
nures applied in the hills well in ad-
vance Of planting r Of decided value.
Asparagus and rhubarb spend the
latter part Of the summer in gathering
material for the next seasons crop.
Manure is usually applied in the fan
and commercial fertilizers after the
close Of the cutting season.
Sweet corn does nowhere so well as
on sod ground. Applications Of COM
mercial fertilizer need not exceed 500
to 1000 pounds.
Onions respond readily to heavy ap-
plications of complete fertilizers.
Root crops are nowhere grown to
better advantage than on heavily ma
nured market garden soils.

Peach Loaf Curl.

Peach leaf curl is a disease that has
been causing a great deal Of damage
in recent years throughout the central
seaboard states. The leaves curl up,
turn white or gray, sometimes marked
with purple, and fall of the trees. The
disease a be prevented by early
spraying with ime-sulphur or by spring
spraying with self boiled ~lime-sulphur
after the foliage is out. The latter
method Is generally advised.
Since the disease lives over in the
orchard from year to year, it would be
wen to be prepared for a vigorous cam
paign Of prevention. This should be-
gin with a Hme-sulphur treatment be-
fore the buds open, and might be fol-
lowed with a subsequent spraying with
SELF boiled lime sulphur as soon as the
first growth of foliage has reached full
size. These methods are fully de-
scribed In. the late books on peach Gull
ture or in many Of the best up to date
experiment station bulletins.-Country

VALUABLE LEGUMES,

Time For Planting Soy Beans, cowpeas
and Sweet Glover In North.
Soy beans and cowpeas should not
be planted until the LIST Of June in the
northern states, and the growth of the
plants is not rapid during that month,
says a contributor to the Country Cen
tleman. No n a say accurately
how much nitrogen would be stored in
the small and immature plants when
plowed down in July-probably from
thirty to fifty pounds. These two
plants are quite similar in their owe
to provide nitrogen in a climate equal
~ adapted to both, but in Pennsylva-
MIA the soy bean Is superior. The size
Of the nodules on the roots Of the soy
bean would indicate that it has great
er power than the cowpea in removing
nitrogen from the air.
A good crop Of soy beans in the
north may contain 125 pounds of nj
trogen. and larger amounts have been
obtained in some cases. The cowpea
in a warmer latitude does equally we'll.
1t should be borne in mind that q con-
siderable portion of this nitrogen may
not have come from the air and, there
fore, cannot be treated as a gain.

garding the nitrogen content in the
middle Of the first summer. It is a
safe assumption that this content
would be considerably greater than In
the a s Of. the first two legumes men,
toned, which should not be seeded IN
til the LIST Of June. When sweet clover
Is permitted to mature its value In nj
trogen approximates that Of alfalfa
that has stood the same length of time.
The second crop Of alfalfa is usually
lighter than the first and may contain
eighty pounds of nitrogen. Forty per
cent of the nitrogen in an alfalfa plant
Is in the roots when the plant comes to
its first period Of poisoning. When a
sod has stood three years there Is a
greater percentage in the roots and a
large accumulation in the form of dead
organic matter in the soil. Three
hundred pounds is a conservative estt
mate of the amount Of nitrogen in live
and dead material produced by the
alfalfa.
The length Of time that the alfalfa
will be available depends upon the ma
turity of the organic matter. The i'm
mature beans and sweet clover will
yield up practically all of their nitrogen
within the year. In the case Of ma
tured legumes, and especially old al
falfa plants, complete decay will re-
quire several years, much depending
upon soil conditions.

LESSON IN FOOD SUPPLY.

When Farm Yields FamiIy's Needs the
Chances Favor the Farmer.
The south is not the only section of
the country where concentration upon
a single cash crop has tended to make
farming more Of a gamble than a
sound business. A case has recently
been reported to specialists in the
United States department Ut agricul-
ture of a North Dakota wheat farmer
who having run badly in debt applied
for a loan Of $1,000. He had nothing
whatsoever on his place except the
horses required in the wheatfeld.
There was not a COW, a pig or even a
chicken, no vegetable garden-nothing
whatsoever with which to support the
family.
Before he could get his $1,000 he was
compelled by the banker to whom he
applied to agree to use a portion of
the loan to purchase two cows, a half
dozen pigs and a small flock Of poul-
try, besides undertaking to maintain
a fair sized vegetable garden. The
banker had figured that with this
equipment the farmer could get along
even In poor grain seasons without
running further into debt and that in
good years the profits from his grain
would be sufficient gradually to repay
the loan.
This reasoning proved correct, for in
five years the money had been paid
back. The farmer has learned his les
son, and his farm continues to supply
his family with food as we'll as with
cash.
