Tolved in applying it and in raking on
the coarse litter. and the price which in
these days Of few horses and many au-
tos takes no back. seat for high costs.
Luckily there Is an easier way to re-
alizs your ambition. 1t consists in the
use OF fertilizers which are put up in
bags OF convenient size for any lawn.
large or small. Since fertilizers are
generally sold under brand names, it is
safe to buy analysis, or formula The
formula is a series of figures not unlike
football signals, which express the COM
position in per cents as are determined
by chemical analysis. For example, a
6-8-2 fertilizer means one containing s
per cent ammonia eight per cent
'sphosphoric acid and two per cent
potash" which represent the three fer
| tilizing elements, nitrogen. phosphorus
and potassium, respectively. In high
analysis fertilizer these figures should
total Il or more.
The kind and quantity Of fertilizer to
| use depends in a large measure on the
soil. A good application for the average
lawn in fair condition is from two to
i've pounds of a $50 fertilizer for each
100 square feet, applied broadcast. If

Potato seed. deteriorates rapidly here

north climatic conditions are such that

portunity to produce disease-free seed
for selling in other sections, such as
southern New England. The state au-
thoritses are inspecting these fields.
= The case Is strongly against the indis-
criminate buying of potato seed. Through
personal contact in the inspection, by
your representatives or BY the state GER

seed of the 500 bushels per acre quality

frequently several farmers may pur-
chase together and simplify the location

also purchase seed of known quality

Globe or French artichokes have be-
come regular stock during the winter IN
the city markets Of the north, coming
from southern and California gardens
where they may be grown to good adj
vantage. They may be grown in the
north, but it is a difficult matter to bring
them through the winter and hardly
worth the trouble.
While not often grown from seeds

ern and California gardeners rely upon
starting a stock from seed, which Is
planted about March ] in the mort fa-
yored localities. AS the demand for the

north makes 1t a commercial proposi-
ton as well as fine garden yegetable

Cooperate marketing associa-

gency clause making Ii effective
