Favor Nitrate of Soda
to Fertilize Corn Crop

The yield Of corn is determined very
largely by the amount Of ammonia
used in the fertilizer, according to
Prof. C. P. Blackwell, agrononlist at
Clemson college, who thinks that
nitrate of soda pays much better on
corn than other forms of fertilizers,
and that $50 to 200 pounds of soda
per acre is not too much to apply to
the average land.
Side dressing of soda should be ap.
piled TO corn when the plants are three
to four feet high. Much of the nitro
gen is wasted when farmers walt until
the corn begins TO silk and tassel be-
fore applying soda. Much better re-
suits are secured when the soda is
applied at the proper time. The rate
of application of soda will have much
to do with the crop secured.

EinkorIl, Spelt

Of Interest to Field Workers
Who Seek Information
as to Adaptation.

prepared BY tho United States Department

Conclusions drawn from experiments
with emmer, spelt, and elukorn, three
distinct kinds Of crops related TO
wheat, are presented in new bulletin
Just issued by the United States De
partment Of Agriculture. Department
Bulletin 1897 SHOULD be Of Interest TO
farmers and more especially to field
crop workers who want information as
to the adaptation Of these crops to the
conditions In various sections Of the
United States. The bulletin seeks

exploitation Of these rather minor
crops In sections where they are not
adapted.
Emmer Not Hardy.
Winter emmer, say the Investigators

the great plains north Of Kansas. and
even In Kansas 1t may Be winterkilled
Il is less productive than winter wheat
Because Of Its low yields 1t should not
be grown in any part of the United
States or Canada.
Spring emmer should not be grown
except possibly TO some extent In North
Dakota. eastern South Dakota, and
southern Minnesota for the purpose Of
increasing crop diversiflcation. In all
sections Of these states Il is Outyleld-

Spelt Is Productive.
Winter spelt is more productive thar

of Maryland and Virginia where ex
periments have been conducted, and
apparently also in Utah. The limits Of
Its adaptation have not been deter
