is available and in position to fur
nish immediate supplies of this plant
food to crops grown on a given area
OF land. The phOsphOric acid and
basic Stag will no doubt become
slowly available in the soil. 1t will!
become much more quickly available
on lands which are rich in vegetable
ma tier or humus, or where one can
use it in association with heavy APP
EliCations of yard manure. Com
post obtained from the woods by
gathering decayed leaves together,
if put in the drill row will no doubt
be beneficial il helping the phos-
pkoric acid it contains to become
available.
Under the circumstances, there
fore, and in accordance with our
experience we cannot regard this ma
terial as containing as quickly avail
able plant food as acid phosphate.
Our idea is that about per cent or
possibly 10 per cent of the phosphoric
acid might become available during
the first year under favorable con-
ditions, whereas practically all of
that in acid phosphate ought to be-
come available. We believe that
ac1 phosphate is now an essential
element in the fertilization of cot
ton. because we must hasten the
maturity of this crop as much as
possible on account of the presence
c. the boil weevil.
In our experience acid phosphate
has been demonstrated to be an ele-
ment which hastens the maturity of
crops because it is primarily con-
cerned in the formation and pertec-
ton of seed. Therefore, we believe
that it's liberal use is advisable I'M
der cotton, and it is best to apply
it under existing conditions in the
most available form.
Where one can establish crop rota-
ton or where live stock farming is
practiced on an extensive scale we
would not hesitate to use consider
able amounts of basic Stag phos-
phate. This is good material under
such conditions, but we do not be-
lieve we are ready to advocate its
use as a substitute for acid phos-
phate at the present time.
The lirne in this material IS, OF
course, of some benefit to the land,
but where one is using lime for
the Improvement of the leguminous
crop we would probably prefer TO
aDpIy a ton of crushed ram lime rock
per acre Hence we hardly THINK
il would pay you to buy this ma
terial for the sake of getting lime.
We believe you will find it advls-
able to use more nitrate of soda ard
phosphoric acid than your letter IN
dicates. We believe that under Doll
weevil conditions an application OF
thirty pounds of available nitrogen

or fifty pounds of phosphoric acid

Garden Diseases

The very fact that various dis
eases may gain a foothold in the
garden makes it all the more impor-
tant that we should pillow it deeply
in the early autumn and turn it
two or three times during the sea-
son if possible. This practice does
not insure the destruction Of fungus
diseases by any means, but at least
it will help to free the soil of some
of these to a certain extent, and it
will enable you to fight the insect
pests more satisfactorily. Many of
these burrow down into the soil to
hibernate, and by constantly turn
ing the land and bringing fresh
parts Of it to the surface Of the
ground you give the freezes a bet
ter chance to kill out and destroy
many alternating insects. . The
freezes also help to pulveriZe the
soil and the weatherfng hastens the
decay of vegetable matter, which
must be incorporated in every gar
den soil.
The best method of handling the
unoccupied part of the garden at
this season is as follows: If the
area is very restricted spade it
deeply; the deeper the better. Many
of the old gardens of Europe, where
labor was cheap, were trenched sole
draining the soil, keeping 1t deep
and friable, and giving the winter
rains chance to soak in and the

That Good Garden

Many people are interested in
gardening, and it is we'll that this
should be So The garden can be
made one of the most important
assets of the home, and in our
supposedly well ordered civilization
this should always be the case. The
high cost of living has accentuated
an interest in the home garden. 1t
is to be hoped that it will have a
permanent effect and that there
will be an ever-increasing ratio of
interest in the garden.
There is an impression in the
minds of many that if we have meat
on the table and bread the chief
requirements of the dietary have
been supplied. There never was
more mistaken notion, because we
require the mineral salts which veg
etables supply. The quantity of iron
in the human system may appear
to be infinitesimal, but it is none
the less essential to the health and
happiness Of the human being.
Moreover, the green leaves of veg
I-etabIes supply vitamines, a sub
stance which is apparently hard to
define, but which Psychologists have
clearly demonstrated is necessary
if the normal nutrition Of men and
animals is to be \ properly safe
guarded Milk supplies the largest
quantity of these materials, and
next to that comes fresh vegetables.
So the garden is assuming a new
Importance in our household econ
omy and we must encourage it's
development and logic mainte-
nance and use in every possible
way in the interest Of our own prog
ress and that of those who come
after US.
Now is the time to be thinking
about the garden, though most peo-
pie will imagine that next March
or April is the appropriate sea-
son to give it consideration. A gar
den is not made in day, and one
who has a satisfactory garden will
think about it 365 days of every
year. At this season of the year
the garden soil that is not occupied
by growing crops should be broken
deeply. Remember that an open sub
soil is just as desirable in the case
Of garden plants as the deepest
roofing and feeding of the field
crops. Garden crops must be pro-
duced in a short period and hence
highly fertile, friable, deep, soft
soil is necessary. The garden is in
tensively cultivated and one crop
after another is planted frequently
on the same land. The soil gets
comparatively little rest so it must
be literally supplied with plant
foo dand the most carefully planned
rotation of crops followed. For in
stance, turnips planted in one cor
ner of the garden may rust or de-
cay from one cause or another. Do
not make the mistake of bringing
this crop on that same area of land
another year. Do not follow beets
with beets or carrots with carrots. %

Should Wo Change Our Plan of Cot
ton Cultivation

B. S., La Mesa, New Mex, writes:
The land we are going to plant to cot
ton has been in alfalfa for fifteen years.
We have been advised to skip every
third row of cotton and plant cowpease,
pillow these under when in bloom, and
to inocuIate the cotton seed. Do you
think it will pay us to plant this way
for this years crop? We want to cuI-
tivate the land for two or three years
and then sow to alfalfa again.
