THE ASPARAGUS BED.

Good Growth of Foliage Means Larger
Crop Next Year.
Don't ignore the asparagus bed now
that the cutting season is over. 1t has
given you its food contribution; now
see that it has plant food to make
good growth of foliage. Fertilize and
cultivate well now to insure that
strong, healthy growth which is essen
dial to q good yield Of shoots next
spring.
After the cutting season the ridges
should be leveled and the asparagus
bed thoroughly cultivated, says the
writer Of the bulletin. high grade
fertilizer then should be applied at the
rate OF 1000 to 1900 pounds to the
acre. A fertilizer containing 2 to 4
per cent Of nitrogen, 8 TO 8 per cent OF
phosphoric acid and to 8 per cent OF
sSotashxwill give good results. Muriate
of potash and kainit are preferable to
ssulkhate of potash. Where the land
dis already heavily MANFRED the nitro
gen may be left out Of the fertilizer
mixture The fertilizer to be applied
SHOULD be distributed broadcast over
the bed or in q strip on either side or
the row and thoroughly mixed with
the surface soil by narrowing or cult
walton. Flat cultivation should be
sg,racticed after the cutting season.
In many sections the asparagus
plants are cut down as soon as the
berries turn red, and after drying suffi-
GENTLY they are burned to destroy any
disease germs or insects that may be
present. In regions where severe
freezes occur it is doubtful whether
the cutting and burning Of asparagus
tops are advisable. The old tops bold

With feed prices such as we are rae

hens that are not above the average.
There is but one sure way Of increas-

WRITES WIPE THAT

The following interesting letter from
Private Robert Walters. a Rush Hin
boy in service overseas, was written
10 his wife. al Rush Hin.
SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, Aar.

Dear Wife,
Received your welcome letters datcl
July the 9TH and i3, and was well. We
came cat Of the trenches yesterday.
fer a rest, andt clean up. Am feel
:=S fze. Captain Mcclure got back
today. He has been of to school. Ev-
eryone was glad to see him. Just got
two sacks OF papers In; l got a bunch
that Emma sent, and have been read
ing Rush Hin items. Well. In regard 70
war news: | don't think It will last
much longer. Company D got two
German prisoners when we were out
TO the trenches. They came over and
gave themselves up. Said they were
tired of war.
A telegram came last night stating
that the Americans and French had
captured 1900 prisoners, $40 cannon,
$50 batteries and killed about 5000;
also that they had turned Edison gas
loose on a 30-mile front and were do
ing fine work. viii tell you about a
big gun they have here. They use an
army blanket for a gun-wipe and an
automobile truck for a front sight;
They have been loading it since 1915,
and remember-they don't shoot this
gun from the shoulder.
The German aeroplanes and guns
keep US entertained, but it is nothing
serious.
Well, this is Sunday, and I'm glad Of
it, as we have worked hard this week.
1t is raining and cold,-the most
changeable climate / ever saw. /
wonder what you are doing today?
There is about II hours difference in
the time. We are that much earlier
than you.
suppose you all have threshed by
now. They are just about half through
cutting wheat here. They take their
time, but help is scarce, | guess. Il
takes a letter a long time to come
across,-about "a days to get to me.
Saw Ellis Davis yesterday, for the
first time in quite a while. He is over
at another burg now. You asked
about London and Paris. England
don't suit me at all and we went
through Paris at night.
See these countries are about 100
years behind the States. You are in
the best country on earth. They are
making so much noise, | shall have to
quit.
Love to all.
