Save Fertilizer,
Experts Warning
Muck Soil Growers Can Cut
Some Applications at i
Least One-Half.

BY J. D.. Knott. Cornell University Expert
ment station. New York.-WNU Service.
Muck growers who have accumulated
a fertilizer bank account In recent
years can save money in 1888, II they
are sure that the supply Of nitrogen
is maintained. However. similar saw
ings on fertilizer cannot be made for
different types of muck soils.
Newly-cleared woody muck soil is
low in phosphoric acid and potash, but
has liberal supply of nitrogen. Saw
ings cannot be made in phosphoric
acid and potash and fertilizer Of
0-10-10 analysis should be used. New
ly-cleared muck that bore a heavy
growth of sedges, reeds, and PUSHES
needs nitrogen in addition to the phos-
phoric acid and potash, as, 1910
or 1872 analysis.
Mucks that have been cultivated
for five or ten years and that have
been literally fortified do not show
much crop response to potash and
phosphorfc acid, but need applicaf
lions of nitrogen. Ordinarily. the
grower who has used ample applica-
lions of fertilizers in the past, and
whose land has been flooded, has q
reserve of potash and phosphoric acid,
especially for the late-planted crops.
Early crops such as onions, lettuce.
and potatoes which are planted when
the soil is cold, need all three of the
fertilizer elements in at least half the
usual amount.
The lower rate of fertilization can
not be continued indefinitely. Ways
to save this year are: to apply less Of
the usual fertilizer analysis, but apply
more nitrogen as side-dressing; or
to shift to an analysis which contains
more nitrogen for instance, If the Gus
tomary application has been 1900
pounds of 2-S-10 for onions, use In
stead $50 pounds Of 1910. applying
the same amount of nitrogen but half
as much phosphorus acid and potash.
Similar changes can be made to suit
other conditions. Such changes are
especially easy to make in home-mix-
ing fertilizers. Sulfate Of ammonia is
cheaper than nitrate of soda and has
proved equally effective on the New
York state muck soil tests.

Economical Dairying

The backbone Of economical dairy
ing. outside Of the productivity of the
cows themselves, is good roughage and
plenty Of It. Economy in production
depends more upon the nature of the
roughage supplied to the cows than
upon the grain fed. Too many farm
ers consider 1t to be the other way
around. That is, they stress the need
of well-balanced grain ration-one
that contains a relatively high per-
centage of protein. Roughage is often
considered as a filler rather than a
carrier of valuable nutrient matter.

aster In history. The airship crashed
off the New Jersey coast, twenty miles
off Barnegat lightship, during vio-
lent electric storm, accompanied by
heavy winds and high seas, dense fog
and thick rain.
Lieutenant Commander Wiley, Sec
Ond In command of the airship, and
the two men who were saved owed
their lives to the chance that brought
the German oil tanker Phoebus close
to the scene of the accident few min
utes after 1t happened. They were
picked up Immediately by the Phoebus,
whose crew saw others disappear be-
meath the waves before rescuers could
reach them. The Phoebus cruised
about the scene until dawn, but was
unable to find any more survivors or
to keep track Of the wreckage, which
was carried swiftly away by the seas.
First report OF the disaster was re-
ceived in radio messages from the
Phoebus. Both coast guard and naval
vessels were Immediately dispatched
to the scene Of the wreck and cruised
around for hours in the hope of find
