The Fertilizer Situation

There has been no time in recent
years when the savings to be realized
from the home mixing of fertilizers
are as great as today. J. Stanley Ow-
ems, extension specialist in crops and
soils of the Connecticut Agricultural
College, has just completed a system
attic study of the price quotations of
fourteen large handlers of fertilizer
operating in Connecticut. This study
reveals the fact that the difference be-
tween the price of mixed goods and
the same amount of plant food in I'M
mixed forms is tremendous. For ex-
ample, six firms quote fertilizer con-
tanning 2 per cent ammonia, per
cent phosphoric acid, and per cent
potash at $4S.50 per ton, while the
same amount of plant food in the nj
trate of soda, acid phosphate, and
muriate of potash would cost $27.0S,
which would mean return to $21.42
per ton for home mixing. In the case
of per cent ammonia, per cent
phosphoric acid, per cent potash ma
terial, eight firms quote it at $65.50,
while the plant food ingredients would
cost only $39.36, difference of
$26.14 per ton in favor of the unmix-
ed materials. There is also a wide
range of prices for similar goods as
given by different companies. Acid
phosphate runs from $29.10 per ton
to $500 in 167 pound bags. A 4-S-4
is ouoted from SD 90 in one instance
to S65.50 in eight cases. The above
are list prices on ton basis. In car
lots lower prices can be secured.

Home Demonstration Agent On the
Job


Miss Flora Miller has taken up her
duties with the Windham County
Farmers Association as Home De-
monstration Agent, starting her work
Monday of this week.
Miss Miller has had varied practi-
cal experience that adapts her for the
work. She has been recently working
as one of the extension service staff of
the college, in connection with the
milk campaign. She had been on this
work only short time when she was
given the opportunity of coming to
Windham County, which was accept
able to her, as it was her desire to
take up the vocation of Home Demon
stration Agent.
After accepting the position in
Windham County, Miss Miller did
some self-improvement work, working
with number Of Home Demonstra-
ton Agents In the state, among whom
we're Miss Stratton, Home Demonstra-
ton Agent of New London County,
who is doing her work in an efficiently
organized manner. She also worked
with Miss Deming, state clothing spe-
cialist.
During the intervening time be-
tween her graduation from high
school and entering the Connecticut
Agricultural College, Miss Miller did
a great deal of dressmaking. After
graduating from the Connecticut Ag-
riculturai College, she held position
where she was in charge of the stock
room, and had general supervision of
help, in cafeteria in Waterbury.
niiss Miilers course at the Connec-
ticut Agricultural College included
both Home Economics and Agricul-
ture.
Miss Miller will undoubtedly COM
mand the backing of the women of
Windham County, and the home econ
omics work of the Association will I'M
doubtedly go forward.

To the Lady Of Ninety-Five
This cold world is decorated,
Trees are decked in silver sheen,
Earth puts on her prettiest jewels,
All in honor of queen.
Sunrise paints the sky with roses,
Gold and crimson too are seen,
Glistening through the crystal PEN

All in honor of queen.
Soldiers have their decorations,
But no soldier we have seen
Has been blest with half the splenior

Farm and Orchard
(By II. J. Wheater)

Have you tested your seed corn yet
You cannot afford to let this work
go by. Your experience tells you
that fifteen large ears of corn will
plant an acre. Every time you plant
an ear that does not grow you lose
one fifteenth of an acre of a possible
100 per cent of crop. A good test
er may be made as follows.-Make
a box twenty inches square, three in
ches deep. Fill it with sawdust. Take
a cloth large enough to cover the
box, mark it into 100 squares two
inches each way. Lay it over box and
take two kernels from center, but and
tip of ear, place in each square. Cow
er same with cloth, keep moist and
warm one week. All good ears will
show 1000 termination. Others
should be rejected. After testing, shell
ready, for planting. The agricultural
department of the local school will
be glad to conduct tests for farmers
for the experience it will give them,
and also to be able to learn what
your ideals are for good corn in this
section.
