There would be practically no avail
able phosphoric acid in raw ground Flor
ida phosphate rock which has not been
treated with sulphuric acid. When COM
mercial acid phosphate is made about
1000 pounds of the crushed phosphate
bearing rock is mixed with approx
mately 1000 pounds of sulphuric acid.
The admixture of these two materials
results in setting free or making water
soluble about 16 per cent of the phos-
phoric acid and known commonly as
available phosphoric acid. In our expert
ence the finely ground raw rock should
be used at the rate Of 1000 pounds
and upwards per acre and put on in as
sociation with large quantities of yard
manure or after green leguminous crops
have been turned under. Even then
large benefits from its application should
not be expected in a short period of time.
In other words, one must await results
with this material. A good deal de-
the phosphate is ground, the finer the
better.
For quick results and on crops whore
acid phosphate is an important element
we are inclined to think that acid phos-
phate should be chiefly relied on until
we can build our soils UP to a system
of crop rotation and the turning under
of green crops to a point where they
will contain a much greater amount or
organic matter than they do at present.
You understand, of course, that ma
terial may contain 80 per cent of a
plant food or even a greater amount.
only that part of this plant food, how
ever which is readily soluble in water
can be taken up and used by the plant.
While you may be guaranteed that the
material about which you write contains
80 per cent total phosphoric acid, surely
IL cannot be claimed that IL is available,
as this would be a misleading statement.
NOTES ON MANAGEMENT OF

There should be no difficulty in OBJ

liable scotsman either in your city or
in some of the adjoining cities Of the

in lots of several bushels you can pur-

for us to arrive at definite conclusion
as 10 holding the race. but the outlook
at the present is dark
80 far as the Chllds Cpu Race Is
concerned, that Is matter which has
not yet been discussed. but from what
can learn there is little possibility
that Princeton will have competitive
crew this year, for the reason that the
board In control OF athletics has estab-
lished a rule to sllmipate all sports
which are not self supporting. This
does not mean. ! think. that there will
be no rowing at Princeton. but feel
certain that n I have been correctly
informed there Will be no varsity crew
to meet crews OF other colleges.
Another factor which will enter into
tho rowing year this season Is .tbat
Cornell will end its academic term
earlier than usual. Cornell Will hold n g
annual commencement some time in the
middle OF May for the express purnose
OF enabling the students to devoto Ill

that neither Columbia nor Pennsylvani,

Fred Toney was born in Atlanta. Ga,
on Dec. H. 1889. He began his profess
sional baseball career in 1908 with the
Winchester Club In the Blue Grass
League. and distinguished himself by
striking out nineteen OF the twenty one
batters who faced him In u seven inning
no-hit game.
He played with that club for three
years. In 1911 he became n member OF
the Chicago Cubs. and the following year
was released to the Louisville Club In
He was recalled by the Cubs In 1913
and again released to Louisville about
the middle OF the season. He re-
mained with Louisville until 1914. when
he was drafted by the Brooklyn Club In
the National League. The latter club
released him to Cincinnati by the waiver
route In 1915.
That same year he finished second 20

leading pitcher OF the year.
While Toney has always been, a con.

May OF this year that he entered the

complishing that great desire OF all
baseball pitchers-a -hit no run game.
This he accomplished against his one
