BEST FERTILIZERS FOR CORN
Acid Phosphate, 200 Pounds to Acre,
is Recommended by Expert of
Tennessee Station.

eBY CHARLES A. MO0ERS. Chemist and
Agronomist Tennessee Agricultural En-
pertinent Station9
Corn is Very important crop but
one that is lowprieed. SO that the
question as to the most profitable fer
tilizer is not always easy TO answer.
Fertilizer experiments covering every
condition have not been possible but
considerable evidence has been obtain
ed. With regard to phosphate acid
phosphate in moderate quantity. say
700 pounds to the acre, is recommend
ed, and may be used by itself with as
good chance for profit as any other
material or combination of materials
of equal money value; it may even
give greater profit. especially In the
case of freshly cleared land. If Il light
dressing of manure can be made. then
the plain acid phosphate is highly adj
Nlsahle as supplement to the manure
which, as demonstrated in the potato
experiments is strengthened in its
weakest point for soils like these. In
similar manner acid phosphate Is
recommended for a green manure or
pasture crop which Is to be followed
by corn, the one application in that
ease answering fairly well for the two
crops.
The experimental results do not war
rant anything more than a very light
application of potash salt. say, 10
pounds per acre of muriate of potash
mixed with the acid phosphate.

from one place to another they are apt
not to breed we'll. and. other conditions
being equal. they breed better the third
season they are in locality than the
second.
Breeding geese should have consider
able exercise and be kept moderately
thin in flesh through the winter by
light feeding and free range of facili-
ties for swimming. The Emden geese
lay few eggs but make mothers. Geese
are graZers and too much grain is not
good for them. To insure fertile eggs
they should have an abundance of
green food and have access to a pond
or other body of water. If this is not
possible tub of water set level with
the surface of the ground may be sub
stituted.
Very early Matching is not desirable,
since the goslings do not thrive we'll
unless they have IN abundance of
grass. For the first two or three days
they should be given nothing except
grass and water. Later little feed
of scalded cracked corn should be Civ
en- in addition three times Il day. The
goslings are liable to be overcome by
the heat, and should always have some
place of retreat where they may es
cape the suns rays. The eggs may be
hatched advantageonsly under hens,
but the gosIings should be immedi-
ately taken away from them. They
may be brooded for short time in
outdoor breeders and after that CON
fined in houses at night.

Old geese lay a greater number and

young geese. Nevertheless, if geese
must be purchased it often saves time
to buy young geese rather than to at

breeding purposes than young geese.
