CORN FERTILIZATION
.enneWlck

Our attention has been called sew
eral times to the fact that very often
fields of corn grow well, producing
good stalks and having at least fair
color of leaf, and yet do not yield
well. One farmer recently reported
to us yield of but approximately
thirty bushels per acre on
field where growth was very
good, and yet on another
field where growth was not much
better he secured almost one
hundred bushels to the acre on
half acre. The second field had been
we'll fortified with manure. The
first field was an old alfalfa field
rather badly run out.
Analysing this situation and com.
pairing results here with results Sc
cured on the alfalfa plots during the
last two years we would say that
since the alfalfa plots during the last
two years have shown decided lack
of phosphates that there is very
strong probability that there was a
serious lack of phosphates on the field
which yielded only 80 bushels. Under
normal conditions phosphate is the
fertilizer element which more directly
effects seed production than any
others One must keep in mind, OF
cousre, that any of the elements may
affect the plant in this way provided
there is a serious lack of other ele-
ments. The fact, however, that there
was a good growth would show that
there was plenty of nitrogen. We
recommend where farmers are seed
ing corn following blowing up of al
falfa fields, the use of 400 pounds
of superphosphates to the acre or
$50 pounds of ammophos A. Either
one of these fertilizers should be ap-
pied at the time that the ground is
plowed and turned down.

POULTRY OUTLOOK

A poultry man recently came
into the office of the County
Agent and asked what the
Agent thought of the poultry
situation. 1t is sometimes a
little dangerous for one to recommend
program in the future for another
party because of the possibility of
there being serious upset in price
and conditions from that which the
Agent might see in the future and
"a consequent reflection upon infor-
nation and judgment of the person
making the recommendation. How
ever, after a little consideration the
following advise was given: Get the
tbest chicks that it is possible for you
to get if they have not already been
spoken for. Give these the best
care possible during the brooding
season, being sure that they are
brooded under proper conditions so
that they will be free from cocoidiosis
and parasites. Put them on to the
range in open air colony houses,
where, as near as possible, there will
be no possibility of roundworm in
1eStdI1On. watch lflClI uCNCAOPillCAl
closely and see that the necessary
feeding program is followed which
will insure good development without
too early maturity. This is one of
the places where poultrymen in this
County have considerable trouble, but,
according to Mr.. Buchanan, Exten-
sion Poultryman, proper development
can be accomplished almost as easily
as one can regulate the speed of
car. One must understand, however,
the fundamentals back of the type
of development wanted and then ap-
ply the program.
If one followed the above program
and the pullets are put into good
house during September one should
be able to make at least fair profit
from a poultry enterprise another
year. According to the cycle for
poultry production, next year should
be the year in which poultry should
be maintained, as undoubtedly many
will drop out Of the enterprise this
year.

GIVE EACH 1000 CHICKENS AN
ACRE OF NEW GROUND

"Poultrymen planning to rear
chicks this spring should have a new
acre Of ground for each 1000 chicks"
says w. D. Buchanan, extension
poultryman. 1T should be ground I'M
touched by chicken manure and on
which chickens have not run for at
least three years. Although at times
this is difficult, it is fully as essen
tial to successful poultry rearing as
clean buildings.
eff clean ground cannot be obtain
ed and it is difficult to thoroughly
disinfect the brooding houses, it will
be necessary to cover the yard with
one inch mesh chicken wire and the
brooder floor with three eighths inch
hardware cloth to keep the chicks
from becoming contaminated Tho
wire in yard should be at least a
foot above the ground and in the
house three inches above the floor.
1t is expensive but must be used It
profitable chicks are to be reared"

About teaspoonful of tea to a
cup is a good average proportion, ac-
cording to tea specialists. More or
less can be used for different tastes.
First scald the pot-an earthenware
one, by preferance-to warm it. Put
in the tea, pour on boiling water, but
do not boil. Let stand about five
or six minutes, then pour off into
another warm teapot. If you use a

TREE SPACING

Probably at no time in the history
Of tree fruit production in the County,
particularly apples, has there been
of trees would pay bigger dividends
than at the present time. While it
is true that fruit markets are not in
as bad shape as are many other
markets, yet it is also true that the
grower with the high percentage of
extra fancy production is the man who
is making the most from the orchard,
providing of course, he is able to hold
up yields to at least reasonable
high average.
The thing which makes for color
which has been one of the greatest
contributing factors in the selection
of the extra fancy, and which probably
within the next few years will be-
come more of an item in the selection
of this grade, is the distribution of
plenty of sunlight about the tree.
Many of our orchards are yet too
closely planted to enable the sunlight
to reach the larger percentage OF the
fruit. There seems to be but one way
to overcome this with out seriously
handicapping the orchard in later
years and that is to remove the trees
which one knows will eventually need
to come out. These need not be re-
moved in one years time, but by a
heavy system of pruning flaming"
them up on the sides where they will
interfere with the trees which are to
be left as permanent ones, so as to
bring about the best development OF
the permanent trees, will produce an
extra high grade of fruit upon those
trees so treated, and give the per-
manent trees much more Of chance.
During this time, when markets for
all commodities are absorbing to good
advantage all of the highest quality
product why not begin this tree spac-
ing program? The fruiting wood of
the permanent trees can thus be left
in much more vigorous condition,
heights of the trees can be held down,
and the labor problem reduced thru
the lessened heights of trees and a
much better production marketed due
to better color and high percentage
of the fruit.

The kind of salad dressing to use
depends largely upon when the salad
is to be served. A light salad, with
heavy dinner, usually needs a
light dressing, such as French
dressing. Luncheon or supper salads,
or those served with party refresh
ments, may have the richer dressings
such as mayonnaise, cooked dress
ings, or cream dressing.
