FARM NOTES.
(By E. B. Eerris.)

(By II. B. Eerls.1
Recently the farmers over Missis-
sppi have been getting in lot OF
acid phosphate purchased through
the State Farm Bureau. This acid
phosphate is out Of the ordinary
in that it has very peculiar odor-
A number of people have asked me
what caused this, knowing that acid
phosphate, generally has little OF no
odor. AS usually manufactured, acid
phosphate is made by mixing equal
parts of finely ground raw phos-
phate rock and strong sulphuric acid.
This causes chemical change
whereby the insoluble phosphorus in
rock is converted into soluble
form that plants can take up through
soil solutions.
Sulphuric Acid is also used IN
many other arts and industries and
II understand that in the coal tar
industry it is used, and little Of its
strength removed. However, after
such use it has strong odor as is
the case with many OF these ccai
tar products. In the manufacture
of the acid phosphate that we have
been receiving here it is said that
10 per cent Of the sulphuric acid
used as above described is added to
90 per cent of fresh sulphuric acid
and the combined acids used in the
manufacture of acid phosphate. This
gives the resultant acid phosphate,
the peculiar odor that so many Of
us object to in hauling ard dis
tributing it in the fields.
1t is claimed that this acid phos-
phate has considerable insecticidal
properties and when used under
crops subject to the attacks Of in
sects under the ground, it tends to
lessen the damage from such in
sects. Just how effective it is we
are not prepared to say, but it is
reported that the truckers along the
Virginia Coast greatly prefer this
acid phosphate to other kinds /, on
account of its insecticidal property,
This phosphate is manufactured at
Baltimore, Nd, and is bought in
large quantities by the State Farm
Bureau at q price considerable un-
der that offered by factories much
nearer us. It is cleaned that they
can make this low price on account
Of low freight rates on raw materials
to the factory and on the finished
product from the factory, practically
all Of these being hauled BY water.

Let stand or boil long enough to
get all of the stain from the hulis.
Pour this through a flour sack and
strain out the clear stain. To every
gallon of this stain add about 2
tablespoons of pulverized perman-
ganate Of potash. Stir until
thoroughly dissolved. The stain is
then ready to be applied to the
floor. Use a large soft rag to rub
the stain into the planks going
across the floor length wise.
After the stain has thoroughly
dried, two coats of hot inseed oil
should be applied. Put the hnseed
oil in a tin bucket and set 1t IN
another vessel of boiling hot water.
When oil becomes thoroughly heated
use brush to apply the hot oil TO
the floor. After a few days have
passed, put another coat Oh in the

FORD LARG EST MOTOR
PLANT III THE WORLD

! Covering a total Of nearly 800
acres, OF which 123 are under roos.
the Highland Park plant of the
Ford Motor Company is the largcst
inividual motor plant in the world.
4 Here the Ford Car is built, the
castings being received from the
River Rouge plant and bodies from
the various Ford body building
/ plants.
| The unit of Highland Park in
cludes the main offices, the High
land Park power plant, the Detroit
sales branch, the boys industrial
school and the manufacturing unit.
+ Under the latter head are included
the motor assembly, car assembly,
motor test, top and upholstery de-
partments, stock rooms, drop forge
plant, glass factory and Others.
Today these plants present the
scene of the greatest activity in the
history of the Ford Motor Company,
as every energy is being directed to
reaching the 800 cars day sche-
dule set by manufacturing depart
ment.
The manufacture of 5000 separate
Ford units daily presents stagger-
ing production figures and calls for
the highest degree Of accuracy III
each manufacturing operation. 1t
means that in the motor assembly
department 5000 motor blocks are
handled, 24,000 connecting rods, 49,
600 valves and necessary mechanical
materials, the installation of $4,000
main motor bearings with other pro-
duction figures in the same ratio
ard to uniformly high standard
Of quality.
Each of these par5s is subjected
to exacting balance and nlicrometer
tests and as production at the High
land Park plant increases it is neces-
sary accompanied with an increase
in the accuracy. with which each
Individual part is made in order that
the various assembly operations may
progress smoothly and without inter
ruption.
Production at the plant has not
been increased by more work but by
increasing man power to the utmost
Of tie mechanical equipment capa-
city and at the present time 60,0Go
men are employed at the plant,
working in eight-hour shifts, SIX
! days week Oh twenty-four hour
day basis.
In the huge drop forge plant where
5000 front axles, 5000 crank shafts
and other drop forge parts are made,
there has been added equipment and
greater man power is being used to
produce the necessary parts and at
she same time there has been an
increased quality marking every

LIVE ITEMS FROM THE
STATE PLANT BOARD

Now is about the right time in
most sections in Mississippi to ap-
ply the first self-boiled lime-sulphur
spray to peach trees. This spray is
to control brown rot, and by adding
/ pound of lead arsenate to so gal
Ions Of spray, it will also be ef-
fective against the curculio.
Locate piece Of new land now
for your vine cuttings of sweet po-
tatoes next year. Also keep a close
watch on the plants you are setting
out and burn any that show signs
of black rot or other diseases. To
be certain about the diseases, mail
suspicious-looking plants to the
Plant Board for examination.
Irish potatoes sprayed with
pound lead arsenate in so gallons
Bordeaux Mixture will be free from
the Colorado Potato Beetle, and will
stay healthy and green ard pro-
duce more than unsprayed potatoes,
even where the "bugs" are not aori,-
ering them. :
If you still have any sweet po-
tatoes now is good time to ex-
anime them carefully for the sweet
potato weevil, the destructive pota
to pest that occurs in four counties
in South Mississippi, as well as in
! Texas, Louisiana, and other states.
Look for any small grubs or worms
| in the potatoes, as well as the adult
weevil which somewhat resembles
an ant. Send speciments TO the
Plant Board. Help us to find ard
eradicate this pest wherever it ap-
pears in Mississippi.
The Plant Board is trying to de-
velop some cabbage varities resis-
tant to the disease called "yellows.' :
If your plants are turning yellow
and shedding the lower leaves, write
the Plant Board at once, so selec-
tions Of resistant plants can be Sc
cured from your field.
| Pick up and burn or boil all the
little shriveled hard peaches or
"drops" falling from the trees, as
nearly all these small hard peaches
contain curculio larvas that will
develop into adults and later attack
the ripening fruit, making it
'wormy." This is an important con-
troll measure that has not been fully
appreciated in the past.
The cucumber beetle in many
cases last year destroyed melons as
soon as the plants were out of the
ground. To prevent this, dust the
plants thoroughly with l part lead
, arsenate in Is parts Stacked lime, or
even less lime can be used safely.
The plants should be busted again
as soon as more bugs" are noticed.
/ If you have spray pump and
your pecan trees are not too tall, a
spray of / pound lead arsenate in
so gallons water will help keep the
May beetles from eating the tender
leaves and buds, and will control a
number of other pecan pests that
are often more serious than the May
beetles.

to his bed for several days with an
attack of sciatic rheumatism, and
was unable to fill his pulpit last
Sunday.
He is better and able to be about
