ADVOCATE TOP DRESSING.
Hay Land SO Treated Yields Good CroI
and viii Not "Run Out" as Quickly.

Demonstration plots in many sections
of the state last season showed the
economy in using a commercial fcrti-
lizer as top dressing for grass land,
The results OF the records secured from
the demonstration plots have been re
ported on by Prof. Earl Jones of the
Massachusetts Agricultural college. In
summarizing the report he states that
top dressing hay land is more eco
nomical method of getting hay than
buying it in the market; that the cost
of chemicals and the cost of harvest
ing the larger crop is still considerably
less than the value of the increased
yield; that top-dressed land will not
run out so quickly as land not top
dressed and top dressing is most prof
liable on hay land in good condition as
much hay land is so badly run out
that top dressing is not profitable.
OF the Is demonstrations on which
reports were secured, only three gave
less than an increase of 1000 pounds
of hay per acre. The cost was at rates
ranging from $475 TO $3.50 per ton
for the increased yield The top dress
ing mixture recommended by Prof.
Jones is $50 pounds of nitrate of soda,
$50 pounds of acid phosphate and 80
pounds of muriate of potash, the $50
pounds TO be used on an acre. Potash
materials are expensive at the present
time, and there are probably many con
ditions when it could be omitted.
On farms where table manure is
available it would often be good to use
a little less on the corn land and put
some on the grass land as a top
ing. The fertilizer market is uncertain
and transportation is more uncertain.
The farmer who top dresses this year
would be wise in ordering the fertilizer
he needs Immediately,

RESTORING BLACK WALNUT
Wood Of Seeding Trees May Be as Val
liable as That of Original Forest.

The restoration of black walnut trees
is being considered in several states.
In Ohio the agricultural experiment
station in Wooster has just published
pamphlet by Edmund Secrest of the
forestry section on the cultivation Of
these trees, attention being called TO
the great value of lumber in many in
dustries and its use in the great war
for airplanes and gun stocks for which
no other substitute could be found in
sufficient quantities. Mr.. Secrest says
that with proper care trees may be
grown from seed or transplanting of
small trees to state of maturity
where the wood will be of as great val
he as that Of the original forests.
In Pennsylvania the state forestry
department has undertaken extensive
Seeding planting in an effort TO restore
the black walnut. One hundred and
fifty bushels Of seed have been plant
ed in specially prepared ground at
Mont Alto. and should produce 10000
seedlings for next spring Many re-
quests have been received from owners
Of woodland who desire to start groves
Of the trees.
A campaign of tree planting will be-
gin in 1920 in Kentucky for the rejuve-
nation Of the forests in which wal
nut will be one of the species planted,
Walnut is said to have been used BY
the Romans sometimes as veneer over
