In using fertilizers the farmer
• should consider the soil on which the
crop is grown and the plant food re-
quirements of the crop. In general
the use of phosphoric acid is profitable
on all soils and on all crops. This can-
not be said of the fertilizing constitu-
ents, nitrogen and potash. However,
if acid phosphate is used alone on
some of the sandy soils, the results
will not be as profitable as it would
• be if some nitrogen were also used.
• The results from potash are variable
hut its use le highly recommended for
legurnirmus crops, particularly alfalfa
and sweet clover.
On the silt loam and clay loem soils
the main requirement is phoephoric
acid... Potash" gives some response to
sugar beets and .beans, but on these
crops it is often used in excessive
amounts. Nitrogen is seldom needed
where the farms are badly run, and
green manures are not used in the ro-
tation. Occasionally, where the soil
is poorly drained or of•a lighter phase,
top dressings of nitrate of soda or sul-
phate of, ammonia, have shown very
noticeable effects. These effects are

weather. If the spring is cold so that

We may perhaps clear the question
up somewhat by balancing the argu-
ments in favor of picking apples early
against ,those arguments which favor
letting the applee hang on the frees

There are two main reasons for
picking apples early; first, that one
may get his apples on the market eaely
and while the price is still good; and
second, that one avoids the loss from
•urindfalls,
The first of these would usually ap-
ply only to early -varieties like Yellow

When such varieties are in seasoe the
market is usually bare and the first
consignments may bring considerably
better priew than later ones.
As to the windfall question, it -aer-
ies greatly in different sections. In
many sections drop apples are almost
a total loss. In such sections one
would be justified in picking early to
