RYE.
Fine Pasture Crop.

One Of the best crops 70 be used
for fail. winter and early spring pas
ture is rye. This cereal is very hardy
and seldom winter.kills in this state.
It makes rapid growth and does
we'll during weather too cool FOR
wheat or oats AS a green manure
crop il Is ready to be turned under
in the spring before either wheat or
oats. II is very suitable crop TO
be planted between rows Of cotton,
even on poor soil, for pasture or
green manure.
The AbruZZi variety, which is be-
coming popular at least in the south
ern two-thirds of the state, Is some
what earlier than common rye and as
a rule produces larger and better
grain. At Monticello, Abruzzi rye vas
much more satisfactory than common
rye. Aaruzzt rye is not IA hardy as
common rye in northern districts Of
the state. Rye is usually planted NJ
the rate Of four peckB per acre. II can
be planted somewhat later than
wheat, but otherwise the culture 70
the same.

Most soils 0f Arkansas Deficient N
ahorus While Many Are Deficient
n Both Nitrogen and Phosphorus.
BY De 2. Hungerrorc, Assistant
Agronomtst, University OF
Arkansas.

The prospects are favorable Tor
continued nigh prices for wheat ana
other fail sown grain crops. Every
acre. OF such crops should be made to
produce. it's maximum Yield in order
that the world may be supplied with
bread. The experiments conducted by
the College Of. Agriculture Of the uni
versitv Of Arkansas Indicate that
even when prices are normal, nitro
gen and phosphate fertilizers can %
used with profit on winter Wheat
With prices such as they are at pres
ent he profits would be very much
greater.
Most Of The soils of Arkansas are
deficient in phosphorus. while many
Of fhpra are deficient in both nitrogen
and phosphorus. II is recommended
that for upland soils which have not
been maured recently 400 pounds of
a mixture containing equal parts Of
acid phosphate and cotton seed meal
be used. Nitrate Of soda at the rate
Of 100 pounds per acre may be
used instead of he cotton seed meal
on soils which are not TOO sandy. For
river bottom soils and the better
grades Of upland soil, acid phosphate
alone at the rate Of 150 to $50 pounds
per. acre will give good results.
Raw rock phosphate has been found
70 Yield profitable returns, but it is
slower in its action, sometimes re-
curing Two or three years to produce
results. IN the present crisis, there
fore. IL is urged that the more read
ilE available acid phosphate be used
in order that large, immediate re-
turns may be had
Fertilizers should be ordered NJ
once. The Indications are that the
freight car shortage will bemoreacute
this season than ever before, andsince
most other commodities VIII be given
precedence over fertilizers, hence or
ders made late in the season are
likely 70 ne subject TO many delays.

FERTILIZER FOR Small GRAIN CROPS

steps 70 prevent the ravages Of "a,
rious grain weeyil. These Losses can
be prevented by the Use OF line and
bv Dropeg methods Of storage.
Line 1uzt Aethod.
IN The case OF peas and beans, the
work Of weevils can be readily kept
In check BY storing them away IN
lime dust. For this purpose Use air.
stacked lime dust This is commonly
found as waste in many lumber yarns.
Mix the peas or beans together with
the Iiup at the rate Of one part, by
weight. or lime dust to two parts by
weight. Of beans or peas. The peas
or beans may then be stored away
with he lime n sacks, barrels, boxes
or other containers.
Weevfls in corn can be prevented
bv husking the corn in the tieid. N
so doing you will leave most Of the
weAviIs IN the field. Moreover, corn
when stored with husks on will be
subject TO about four times the
amount of damage done through wee
vils han unhuskee corn.
In husking, nave a division IN The
wagon bed. on one side put all the
badly infested ears, and the other put
the sound ears. A box nav be at
tached TO the back Of the bed to re-
ceive seeds ears. IN storing, PIT all
the sound ears in the back Of the bin
ana hose which are infested IN front
Of the bin so that the latter will be
used I'D first.
IN collecting FOR seeds ears, select
ears with tight husks and we'll COW
