Answer: On the sandy learn soil,
I would advise you to use from 50.0
to 750 lbs. per acre of a 4-8-4 fertil-
izer. I do not believe the top a_ppli-
,estiez) of fertilizer would give you as
goad results as you would obtain if
you scattered in the bottom of the
drill row or hole which was open to
renive the potato pieces, then cover
it with a light sprinkling of soil and
drop the potato, pieces, and proceed
as usual. A 4-8-4 fertilizer contains
akuut as much nitrogen and potash
as about 10 tons of manure and as
much phosphoric acid as 20 tons,
B. Se In the past we have been
troubled with ent-worms. Would you
not give us some method of handling
these destructive pests.
Answer: One of the best methods
ci combatting cut -worms is to make
a soft bran mash. and to mix in a
pasture? We have about eight acres
that we will either put to corn or peas,
to hog down. How many hogs would
the eight acres carry if pot to peas,
and aboritewhat time could the pigs be
turned in?' How many Peas would
yen. Ow to the acre? Would you ad-
vise sowing oats with theta, if so
what, proportion? Do you think peas
are better so:eel:broadcast or in drills?
Answers: SPeaking generally, peas
are best grown for grain which is
high in protein and makes exceedingly
good hog feed. For grain it is a com-
mon practice to sow about 11A bus.
of peas to the acre. A rnixture of
oats and peas makes excellent hay ionz, asparagus, endive, spinach, kohl -

Speaking generally, Goy beans yield
from 10 to 15 bus. per acre. They

Tans, squash, etc.
Answer: Muck ',soil is weak in phos-

These are two constituents of plant -

need of, hence if you apply from 800
to 500 lbs. per acre of a 10-8 fertilizer
on a muck soil where strawberries are

wild oats, cut out the 'grain crop as
far as possible and introduce .s.Lieh
crops as corn, potatoes, roots and,
other cultivated crops. , Such treat-

of wild oats in that many of the young

One cause. for low •egg product-to/1m
the average flock during the summer

hen is not quickly "hreken up" or .got

Careful records have .shown that
the average broody hen, if placed' in a
broody coop the first clay she goes
broody, will lay again in ten days.
If she is allowed to stay broody ten
days and then put in a 'broody coop, it
will be twenty-five days before she
will commence laying. If -allowed to
stay broody twenty-one days, it will
be thirty-five days before she will lay.

most -efficient 'way to "break
