Your Timothy Yield May Be Increased
NICHOLAS SCHMITl
Maryland Agricultural College
Extension Service.

Everything considered, good clean
stable manure is beyond a doubt the
best fertilizer for grass. But this is
not always available or it may be
more prontable to use it somewhere
else. On the other hand. when the
proper commercial fertilizer mater
ials are applied at the right time, it is
seldom that profitable results do not
follow.
Extensive tests at this Station show
that nitrate of soda and acid rock,
when used in combination, give the
best results. In fact, on the average
Maryland soil phosphoric acid when
applied alone to timothy in the form
of acid rock, basic Stag. or in COM
bination with muriate of potash will
seldom pay for the cost Of materials
and their application. The proper
amount depends, of course, upon the
soil, but ordinarily nitrate of soda
should be applied at the rate of $50 to
800 pounds per acre. The acid rock
should be used at about the same rate.
The two may be mixed together and
applied with the grain drill if they are
in first class condition, otherwise it
may be necessary to mix in dry sifted
coal ashes, dry sand, or other absorb
ing material.
The fertilizer should be applied in
the spring as soon as the grass begins
to green, which is usually the after
part of March or the first week in
April. The early application of the
fertilizer is absolutely necessary for
the maximum returns. The fertilizer
can not act upon the plant until it has
been dissolved and carried down to the
plant roots. Tests show that apply
ing all the fertilizer early in the
spring gives as good or better results
than if the distribution is made sew
eral times in a season. Land ordin-
arily producing a ton of hay to the
acre may be expected to yield = ID
tons per acre in normal season when
200 to $50 pounds of nitrate of soda
and the same amount of acid rock are
applied early in the spring.

INTERESTING TO THE FARMERS
MIR. Marsh On Alfalfa

Mr.. Sam. Arbuckle of Cherry Hill
has been known as one of the pioneer
alfalfa growers of Cecil county and
while his methods are very different
from those advocated by the authori-
ties, the fact that he ilas made sue
cess of the business where many have
failed should induce every farmer to
follow his example with at least one
acre of land as an experiment. AS
reported by Mr.. G. f. Marsh, the
County Agricultural Agent, Mr.. Ar
buckle has had the best results with
spring seeding, sowing somewhat late
in the season, not before the first of
May. The seed is sown either with
oats or on wheat. When sown on
wheat he harrows the wheat first to
fill up the cracks in the surface which
would bury too deeply for it to ever
come through, and then covers it with
a roller. The narrowing and rolling
does not iGjure the wheat-in fact he
claims that it is an advantage.
He always makes practice of mix
ing timothy with the alfalfa, as he
claims that it fills up any bare spots
in the field. increases the amount of
hay and also gives a first cutting that
is easier cured. The timothy also
protects the alfalfa from freezing and
thawing in the winter.
His method of incubation is to
moisten the seed with thin glue and
then to dust on all the soil from an
alfalfa field that adhere to the seed.
He has found this method much easier
than sowing larger quantity over
the field and usually as effective.
Mr.. Arbuckle is much interested in
the improvement of the county by the
more general growth of this crop, and
in order to help the good work along
will give soil free for incubation pur-
poses to any one who applies for it.

unayoidably more expensive from year
to year. It was acute realization OF
this that had prompted Millicent to
adventure citywards, armed with her
diploma from the Tingleville CONNER
scial college, proving her to be q fully
trained stenographer.
Millicent had found no positions
open, however. Nobody seemed in
need OF stenographer without past
experience or even typist. Some
business men, she found, wanted q
girl in their Offices, but they expressed
themselves as being more personally
interested In Millicents good looks

Millicent just then and, although the
thought OF being only an Office girl
was humiliating, it was considerably
better than nothing. She determined
to be first of the hundred-odd appli-
cants at the studio on the morrow,
and so, indeed, she was.
On the way out next morning Miss
Millie occupied herself with perusal

When the war ends and commercial enterprise
in Europe starts up again its first requirements
will be the replcnishment of the supply Of basic
materials from countries which have not been
affected by the and have basic materials to
spare Such base of supply must be largely. OF
course the United States. In all these coun-
tries which were unaffected by the war there arc
reserve stores which can be drawn upon for re-
are not very large. Our own country is going
into the coming agricultural season with the small
est carrv over of grain of all kinds that has been
known in the last generation. There are very few
lines Of business today in the United States that
arc at all far ahead OF the demand 1t is therefore
clear to far-secing people that supplies Of staple
articles here must be in large general demand,
probably for year or after the ends,
and therefore prices OF these staples must
tinue comparatively high.
This is the essential reason, see it. why
there has been such rise lately in commodity
prices in the United States and why this rise is
seemingly regardless OF the possibility that peace
in Europe NAV be concluded at any time. The
situation may be summed up in few words as
follows: The war destroys staple articles an
unheard Of scale as long it continues. When
the war ends staple articles will still be in cnor-
nous demand across the Atlantic for purposes of
commercial and industrial repenishment. In the
meantime domestic of staple materials is en-
larging with the revival OF trade in the United
States. Therefore in country the outlook is for
higher prices for all sorts OF staple commodities,
and a consequent stimulation of business for
indefinite time to come.
