ROCK PHOSPHATE AND VELVET I
BEANS. i
Would be pleased if you
could give me some information
on ground rock phosphate. I
am growing and turning under
several acres of velvet beans
every year, as near as I can esti
mate about three tons turned
under per acre. I have enough
hay for all my stock without
cutting this. How much ground
rock phosphate can I put under
an acre of these beans, so that
when the beans are plowed un
der and decay the phosphate
will become available for future
crops. C. O. W.

he growing of velvet beans, >011 cau ;
idvantageously use a heavy applica-j
Ion of ground phosphate rock. I
hink that a minimum of 400 pounds
jer acre or a maximum of 800
rounds would be about the limits
hat would be advisable.
Of course the most complete utili
sation of the raw phosphate would
3e had by applying it as a fertilizer
for the velvet beans in advance of
planting, with the expectation that
such of it as would not be used by
the beans would later come in con
tact with the rotted vegetable mat
ter buried in the soil when the beans
ire plowed under. However, in case
liberal applications of raw phosphate
were not made to the beans, I think
that somewhat similar amounts could
advantageously be spread broadcast
on the growing velvet beans Just be
fore plowing them under, with a
view to having a fair proportion of
this raw phosphate rendered avail
able after the plowing under of the
beans in time to be of benefit to the
next crop.
However, a still better plan is to
first pasture the velvet beans and
then at any time during the winter
to apply the raw rock phosphate and
plow under the remainder of the
vines, the manure dropped on the
surface by the live stock, and appli
cation of ground phosphate rock.
HOW TO SELECT CORX FOR EXHI
BITION*.
If those who make exhibits of
corn in the ear for premiums or
prizes at fairs or elsewhere, would
remember just a few simple rules
and apply them in their selections,
the appearance of the exhibits would
be much improved and the chances
of securing premiums greatly ln
We have before us a sample of ten
ears, which in length measure as
follows: 10% inches, 10>4 inches.
9% Inches, 9*4 inches, 9 >4 Inches.
9 inches, 9 inches, 9 inches, 8%
Inches, 8*4 inches.
In circumference at the butts, the
largest is 8% Inches, while the small
est is 6% inches.
This sample contains some good
ears, but the lack of uniformity in
size and length makes it look like
anything but show corn.
Another point at which exhibitor*
fall is in not selecting ears well
filled at the tips and with straight
rows of kernels.
In corn that is not pure-hred or
that does not produce a uniform type
of kernel, care should be taken tc
have the ten ears all of the same
type, as to shape, and color. White
and red cobs in one exhibit of ter
ears are inexcusable, neither perfect
ears nor exact uniformity is expect
ed, but ears fairly uniform In length
size and color should be Insisted on
Suggestions for Sugar-Making Time
Messrs. Editors: It Is not ndvis
able or necessary to add anything tr
sup^fir cane syrup to prevent su^ar*
in£. If well-cleaned while evaporat
ing and cooked to a density of 3n
degrees or 33.G degrees nt tempera
ture near the boiling point, syruj
will not sugar, especially, when put
up In cans and sealed while hot. Tlu
mixture of glucose syrup with sugat
cane syrup will prevent the formation
of crystals of sugar and a great deal
of syrup Is made this way, but li
has to be sold as such and not at
pure sugar cane syrup. Wo use n
saccharlmeter here and cook to the
density above given, seal hot In cans
and have no trouble from syrup golne
to sugar. These saccharlmeters coal
50 cents, and we buy from Finlay
