Reed leader Of the Waldoboro Cornet
Band, was in the city Wednesday and
to his old friend, Roscoe G. Ingraham,
| made a proposition which cannot fail
to interest Rockland people. Last
Labor day the bands of Lincoln coun-
ty, ten in number, had a field day in
Damariscotta, which drew to that town
ABOUT 5000 persons. and was a most
successful gala occasion. Mr.. Reed
now suggests that the band carnival be
neld In Rockland, with such Knox
county bands joining in the event as
would care to. The matter has been
referred to the Rockland Merchants
a Association, which will doubtless take
prompt action. The Lincoln county
musicians would receive the heartiest
kind OF welcome here, and a davis
program could be arranged which
would make it one Of the biggest
events Of the summer in this county.

and potassium. any one, two or all three.
usually stated as ammonia, phosphoric
acid and potash in order to make the
percentage Of each look larger for they
are combinations Of the above elements.
Briefly the function Of these elements
are; that nitrogen makes the plant
grow more vigorously and rapidly, pro-
duce a large amount Of straw. fodder or
hay. makes the plant appear very green
and Of good color. 1t may also
make the plant take a longer time
for maturing. Phosphorus aids in the
development Of the grain and seed giving
the grain a plump, thrifty appearance
and good quality. 1t shortens the time
of the maturity of the crop. Potassium
strengthens the straw, aids in making a
thrifty and healthy plant in general, and
aids in carrying the plant foods from
one part Of the plant to another in order
to carry on the life processes. -
In a fertilizer, the most common car
riers Of nitrogen are, nitrate Of soda,
tankage, sulphate of ammonia and blood
meal. Nitrate Of soda is a salt mined in

having to decay before the plant is able
to use the nitrogen contained In it. It
may be so low in it's nitrogen content
that it would not be worth hauling
home. To be Of value it must contain at
least per cent. nitrogen and should con-
tain as much as 10 per cent.
Dried blood is highly valued as a ferti-
lizer; but it is seldom used In fertilizers
on account Of it's high feeding value for
animals.
Phosphorus is usually purchased in
what is known as acid phosphate, which

phorus more available to plants. II may

il known as a quick acting fertilizer.
Bone meal contains from 20 to ~ per
cent. Of phosphoric acid. It must decay
before the plant Is able to use all OF the
phosphorus contained in it. 1t Is said TO
be slow in its action and is best suited
for use on lands being seeded to grasses.
Basic Stag is also slow acting fertilizer,
containing from II to 10 per cent. phos-
phoric acid and about per cent. lime
and alfalfa.

ering the actual potash content. All po-
tassium containing materials are Ger
man products and are unobtainable at
a reasonable price. This makes their use
improbable at present prices.
The filler is usually sand, cinders or
muck and may be considered of value
only for the exercise to be had in handl-
ing it and the extra freight bill to pay
for its added weight in a fertilizer.
Should fertilizer mixture containing
per cent. nitrogen, per cent. phos-
phoric acid and per cent potash be de-
sired. the following method for finding
the amounts Of each material to use
may be followed.
The per cent. of nitrogen means that
there must be pounds of nitrogen in
every 100 pounds of the mixture or so
pounds for ton. Nitrate Of soda con-
tains Is pounds Of nitrogen for every 100
pounds. Therefore since 50 pounds are
wanted. 80 times 100 divided by Is equals
533. the number of pounds Of nitrate Of
soda required
Eight per cent phosphoric acid would
mean 8 pounds per 100 of the mixture or
100 pounds per ton. If acid phosphate
containing 16 per cent. phosphoric acid is
used, then 100 times 100 divided by 16
would be 1000 The required number of
pounds of the acid phosphate to use.
Four per cent. potash means that there
must be pounds of actual potash per
100 pounds Of the mixture or so pounds
per ton. Either muriate or sulphate of
potash usually contains so per cent. or 50
pounds of actual potash per 100 pounds.
Then so times 100 divided by so equals 160,
the required number of pounds of either
muriate or sulphate Of potash to use.
Thus we have:
Nitrate Of soda ............ .533 pounds
Acid phosphate ............ 1000
Muriate of potash ........160

ed, that the chairman appoint a COM
mittee of property owners, to work
