USE NITRATE OF. SODA
Tests Made With Material in
Production of Vegetables.
Top Dressings May Reasonably Be Ex
pected to Have Beneficial Eff

Beets and Cabbage.
CBy JOHN w. LLOYD, Illinois.)

By JOHN w. LLOYD, Illinois.)
Extravagant claims are sometimes
made regarding the influence Of nj
trate of soda upon the yield and earli-
ness of certain vegetable crops, par
ticularly those Of which a vegetative
part constitutes the edible product
The claims are especially emphatic In
reference to early-planted crops, since
much of their growth must be made
at a time when conditions in the soil
are not favorable for rapid nitrifica-
ton; and the supplying of nitrogen IN
readily available form at such
time would seem to promise good re-
suits. In view of these considerations
it was thought best to make some tests
with this material in the production
of vegetables on the brown silt loan
of the corn belt. Accordingly Sc
ries of tests was planned, including
eight kinds of vegetables, viz; radish,
turnip, beet, onion, spinach, lettuce,
cabbage, and caulif1ower. Top DRESS
ings of nitrate Of soda were made to
the above-named vegetables. The ex-
pertinent was continued through six
years.
One plat received applications OF
nitrate of soda at intervals Of one
week, and another at intervals of two
weeks. A third plat was left untreat'
ed as a check.
In the light Of the data secured in
connection with the nitrate of soda ex'
periments the following conclusions
are warranted:
/. Under the soil and climatic con.
ditions attending these tests, nitrate
of soda usually does not induce an e1'

PROTECT CLOVER FROM RAIN
Best Practice to Allow Crop to Become
Ripe as PossibIe-Cut in Good,
Dry Weather.

An inferior grade Of clover seed is
produced when the clover is allowed
to lie in windows in the field for sew
eral weeks before it is hulled. Vary
ing proportions of the seeds become
brown and often actually lose all ger
minat1ng powers.
The best practice is to allow the
clover to become as ripe as possible
without loss from Smelling when the
seed is harvested. Cut it in good, dry
weather and then protect it from ex-
posture to rains. Provided a huller
can be procured at once, hulling direct
from the field will economic labor.
If it is necessary to delay the hall
ing. damage and loss to the seed crop
will be avoided by storing the clover
in q barn or in a carefully constructed
and well-covered stack.

common early root crops, radishes,
turnips and beets, without CORE
spending development of the root.
2. Top-dressings of nitrate of Soda
may reasonably be expected to have q
beneficial effect upon the following
crops of early vegetables, on well-ma-
nured brown silt loan in the corn
belt; radishes, turnips, beets, spinach,
cabbage, cauliflower. The beneficial
effect may consist in higher percent

points would be correlated.)
3. Under the conditions Of these
tests, the benefits to be derived from
top-dressings. Of nitrate Of soda to
onions and head lettuce do not appear
to be sufficiently marked or consistent
to warrant the use of this fertilizing
material on these crops.

walls Of two weeks seems to be fully as
effective as when applied at more fire.

gregate amount of material is CORE
spondingly less; in many cases it is
more effective.
5. Under the conditions Of these
tests, the beneficial results Of US

Of early vegetables do not appear to
be SO pronounced as results which
have been reported from certain other
sections of the country.
