your soil to discover the, reasou.
Reports from some districts this
Year ShOw a good deal of winter
wheat and clover killed oueeestates
the Department of Chemistry, 0.A.C.
This is highly undesirable, and can be
prevented by the use Of lime and
acid phosphate applied' with the crop
on which the clover Is seeded. In
some cases lime is not neceesary, for
the soil is not acid; but where ecidity
occurs lime is very- essential. Phos-
phorus Is a great root farmer, and
it is the strong.deepsrooted clover and
wheat plant that withstands the al-
ternate freezing and thawing of
spring weather.
Hestia of Lhne Phosphate Experi-
In answer to a circular sent out
last spring to the twenty-five co-
operative experimenters handling our
Lime Phosphate Experiment, the ma-
jority report that the clover on the
half acre which received crushed
limestone and acid phosphate in the
fall of 1922 is in perfect shape, while
in many eases the untreated section
did.not winter nearly.as well and in
one or two eases will have to be
ploughed up.
If seeding is done with spring
grain it is good busineas to use acid
Phosphate at the rate of at least 300
pounds per acre, and preferably 400.
If the soil is acid, lime is also IleCOS-
miry to give a strongly -rooted clover
and alfalfa. which will miry it over
the first winter, the most critical per-
iod of the life of the plant.
Nitrate of Soda Helps In Cold
In such a. season as the spring of
last year, cold and wet, the greatest
need et the plant is for nitrates, says
,the Department ef Chemistry, Ontario
Agricultural College, Guelph. The
ground will be so cold and wet that
it takes a long time to warm up, and
as a result bacterial activity is at a
low ebb. As a result no nitrates are
formed in the soil, and plants can-
not make vegetative growth.
To correct this and enable the
plant to get away to a good start,
apply nitrate of Bode one hundred
pouncle to one hundred and fifty
pounde'per acre at once. If bought
in lots of several hundred pounds it
can be obtained at a rea.sons.ble price,
and its benefit is ahnost certain. De
not, however, aPPIY if heavy rain
threatens, as it is soluble and will be
lost by washing.
Another benefit which will be de-
rived is this that the nitrate of soda
dissolves in the soil water and soaks
down Into the well. The roots go
after it, and hence the result is a
deeper rooted plant more able to
withstand the period of drouth which
so often follows vret seed time,

Chicken mites do not feed to any

Poultry raising is similar to farm-
ing in that it ft not so much the
nannber of acres owned, but the num-
ber properly handled that gives the
profits. Small, tvell cared for flocks
always bring the best returns.
