MAKE YOUR GARDEN
PLANS IN time
Save Time And Energy BY Having
Long Rows And Proper
Placing.

Maryland Agricultural College.
Long before the time Of seed plant.
ing, the size Of the plot should be Sc.
cured and a plan Of the garden drawn
to scale This will enable the grower
to figure out just how many rows OF
vegetables he can have. and also Just
where each vegetable will be planted.
Then when planting time comes, the
work can proceed without further din.
Guilty. An architect always draws a
plan before he builds house. Is It
not just as important for the gardener
to plan his work beforehand? The
exact plan Of the garden will depend
upon the personal tastes Of the owner
and will be different for each individ.
ual
Whatever the size Of the garden may
be, it should be oblong in shape, that
is about twice as long as IT is wide.
In the farmers garden, paintings are
made in long rows. wide apart, to per.
init Of horse tillage as much as is
possible. Here every effort should be
made to reduce hand labor to the
minimum. for time is more expensive
20 the farmer than space. The main
effort should be to produce the best
Yields with minimum expenditure Of
labor, regardless of the space required.
Twenty long rows require less turning
Of the horse at the ends than thirty.
Eve short ones and this means time
and energy saved. Time and confu-
ion will be saved il vegetables are
grouped according to their cultural
requirements. For example, a row
containing parsnips and satisfy, or
parsnips, late carrots and satisfy.
would make a good combination. But
row containing parsnips, cabbage
and spinach would be a faulty COM
bination. It would be well to place
The root crops together; the cabbage
crops in the next space and tomatoes,
peppers, etc, in another space. Many
men deem it advisable to run the rows
north and south when possible. A tall
crop like corn should not shade low
growing crop which requires a great
deal Of sunshine. All perennials such
as asparagus, rhubarb, and horse-radish
should be planted along the outside Of
the garden where they will not inter.
fere with the preparation Of the land
for the annual crops.
Some gardeners begin to plant the
earliest vegetables at one side and
proceed across the garden as the sea-
son advances. This makes It easier
TO harrow the implanted portion at
any time desired and thus keep it free
from weeds and in moist friable con-
dition. other desirable features OF
this plan are; all similar crops in any
row require the same amount and kind
Of tillage crops occupying the land
ebout the same length OF time may be
planted together; after early maturing
crops are harvested ii is possible to
prepare a strip of land to plant late
vegetables, if desired.

POTASH TOO EXPENSIVE FOR
FARM USE AT THE PRES
ENT TIME.
H. B. MCDONNELL,
Maryland Agricultural College.


1t is evident that potash at the pres
ent prices is entirely too expensive to
be used in fertilizers, and the price is
rapidly advancing, due to the exhaust
ion of potash supplies in the country,
which are now very low indeed. Fer
tilizers containing potash for the fall
trade will contain but very small
amounts and in many cases only a
traction Of per cent. In other words,
the potash content will be reduced TO
a point where the potash, SO far as the
amount is concerned, is for practical
purposes a joke. One-fourth Of one
half per cent Of potash when fertilizer
applied at 200 to 300 pounds per
acre will bake less than a pound Of
actual potash to the acre This is too
small an amount to have any practical
benefit 1t should be remembered that
most soils contain an abundance OF
potash provided it can be made avail
able In nature, fortunately. potash
like other plant foods is liberated but
slowly from the soil. hence, It is i'm
possible to remove the entire amount
of potential plant food, In Bulletin
No 10 of the Maryland Experiment
Station we find that potash in Mary
land soils is rarely less than 10
and in some cases will be found
to be as high as Sc, the aver
age being in the neighborhood Of
2qs. The problem for the Maryland
farmer is by making proper use Of the
agencies within his control, by the use
Of fertilizers other than potash, by the
use of lime when required, rotation
Of crops, growing of legumes and thor.
ough cultivation, to make available SO
far as possible the potash already in
the soil.

GET SOUND BREEDING STOCK TO
PRODUCE WINTER LAYERS.
ROY II. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Let US begin now to prepare for a
flock that will produce eggs for US
next winter. To many people a chick
en- is just chicken. Little do they
stop to realize that the way chicken
is made or build up determines to
large extent its usefulness as layer.
Most persons realize pretty fully the
general requirements of a strong
BIZ" ding. They know that 1t is neces.
sary to have a solid foundation and
then that it is essential to make each
step or section of the construction just
as strong They know that It does
not do any good to put lot of time,
energy, and expense into making the
top part of building substantial il
the foundation or lower part is weak.
But these same people, many Of them.
seem to forget these things when they
start building a flock Of chickens,
which they expect win be strong
enough, and healthy enough to with
stand a severe winter and have enough
energy left 10 produce eggs.
The foundation Of the poultry flock
is the breeding stock. If it is i'll ma
tured. poor. sickly or improperly
nourished it will be waste of time to
try to breed from it. The resulting
floek will hardly pay for its keep. If
on the other hand your stock is well
matured, in good flesh, healthy and
properly nourished you have the prop
er foundation for a good aock for egg
production next winter.
1t will pay most any one to take a
little trouble TO select out a few Of the
strongest and healthiest, most vigor-
Gus birds and save only eggs from
these for Matching Sometimes it may
be best to Gull out the poor birds from
the flock and keep them separated
for a time or what is probably better

n. lEASED KAY YIELDS

ssseriments Prove Use Of Fertilizers

NICHOLAS sCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural College
Extension Service.

Extension Service.
The production Of the average tim
othy meadow in Maryland is very far
below what it can be made to yield
profitably in both quality and yield per
acre. The low yields and poor quality
are not due so much to poor germinat
tion and poor stand IN the spring after
seeding as to the cruwding out Of the
timothy by weeds. VT weeds are
the determining fgc h emedy is
sowing the timu- or 0thv and
clover, alone in -e early f-l, nnt with
a grain -op, but IT the sla a crop
has been La.yea and a nae, firm
seeded prepared.
Where the stand Of timothy Is fair
the yield can be protitabiy increased
by the use of commercial fertilizers.
Extensive tests at the Maryland Ex-
pertinent Station with various kinds
and combinations Of fertilizers have
shown beyond question that the best
fertilizer for timothy is nitrate OF soda
or a combination of nitrate Of soda
and acid rock. The proper amount
to apply depends Of course upon the
fertility of the soil, but ordinarily
nitrate Of soda should be applied at
the rate of from $50 to $50 pounds
per acre, and if combination Of acid
rock and nitrate of soda is used, equal
parts, the mixture should be applied

LIME VALUABLE IN FREEING
POTASH IN THE SOIL.
H. J. PATTERSON,
Maryland Agricultural college

Maryland Agricultural College.
Lime has not only the effect Of aid.
ing in the formation Of unions of pot
ash which will be held in the soil, but
It also has the ability to liberate pot.
ash from combinations which are
locked up and unavailable to plants.
This IS particularly marked when lime
is applied to land containing frag-
ments Of feld-spar. Gypsum is par.
tioularly useful in rendering potash
available. and the sulphate of lime in
dissolved phosphates often have an
Indirect value in this way.

If the ground Stone or Hydrated
Lime be used, the most convenient
way to distribute it will be with lime

be mixed with manure or commercial
fertilizers. 1t is better to plow the
manure under and put the lime on top
Of the soil after plowing. If CONNER
cial fertilizer is to be used the lime
should be applied few weeks before
the application of the fertilizer is
made.
Amounts OF Lime To Apply.
1t is generally the best practice to
apply not less than one ton of Burnt
Lime or two tons of Ground Lime or
Stone Oyster Shells per acre. Hy.
drafted Lime should be used at the
rate Of IA tons per acre. Such an
application need not be given oftener
than once in i've years, which makes
the cost not more than soc to S1.0O

When To Apply Lime.
There is no doubt a best time to ap-
ply lime and for many reasons that
time is just after the land is plowed
