F&MULAE FOR
POTATOES
During the past five years an ex-
periment has been running at the
Dominion Experimental Farm, Nap -
pan, N. 8., testing various formulae ,
applied in varying amounts to the ,
potato crop. Applications of 1.000
1,500 and 2,000 pounds per acre of
each of the following formulae were
made, viz: 6-6-6; 5-6-6—; 4-
6_6; 3-6-6; 5-8--6;
3-8-8; 3-8-6; 4-8-10; 4-8
—8; and 4—H-4.
Tee soil on which this experiment
is being carried on is a medium clay
loam, with a very heavy clay subsoil
and this is of only fair natural fertil- '
ity. The rotation is a three year one
of potatoes, oats and hay, with the
potato crop following a clover tied in
each case. • • • •
All fertilizers were home mixed,
half of the nitrogen being supplied in
nitrate of soda and half in ammon-
ium sulphate, the phosphoric acid in
superphosphate and the potash in
muriate of potash.
On 'chis type of soil when the po-
tato crop alone is considered, results
indicate that the most protable crops
are obtained by using from 1,000 to
1,500 pounds per acre of a mixture
not too high in nitrogen and medium
to high in phrosphoric acid and pot-
ash, such as a 8-6-5; 3-8-6; 4
—8-8; or a 4-8-10 formulae.
When the oat and hay crops are
taken into consideration, the heavier
application, viz. 2,000 pounds per
acre gave a considerable increase in
yield over the lighter applications. As
Inc as the potato crop is concerned,
there seemed to be little advantage
in favor of the high percentage of
potash Inc th 4-10 over the 3-
8-0 or 4-8-6, due probably to
the nature of the soil, but on light
sandy loanis for the potato crop it
would probably be desirable to em-
ploy a fertilizer mixture containing
8 to 10 per cent of potaeh.

A new series of scholarships at the
Ontario Agricultural College, avail-
able to 24 lst-year students, has been
announced by R. S. Duncan, of the
Department of Agriculture. The
scholarships will be awarded to the
value of $50 each annually, and are.
open to such students as are entering
the two-yeer associateship course 11t
0. A. C. who are ready to comply
with -the admission conditions to the
college and who have taken a course
in agriculture at high school or any
other preparatory institution. The
funds for the scholarships have been
withdrawn from the Massey Estate
for 0. A. C. students as the total of
the estate has amounted to $1,200
in excess of the requirements Inc
loan purposes. This amount has been
divided into 24 portions of $50 each
and one has been granted to each
county that will add a like sum of
$50 per year.
Selection Made by Committee.
Selection of candidates is to be
made by a committee consisting of
the County Agricultural Representa-
tive, the Warden of the County Coun
ell, and one other, as it is seen fit
to appoint. Applications will be in-
vited locally, and selection will be
made, in all likelihood, by written ex-
amination.
The counties that have agreed to
add $50 to the sum provided by the
estate are: Carleton, Durham, Elgin,
Essex, Frontenac, Haldimand, Haul-
tain, Huron, Kent, Lennox and Ad-
dington, Middlesex, Norfolk, North-
umberland, Ontario, Peterboro, Pres-
cott and Russell, Simcoe North and
Simcoe South, Victoria and Welland.

A Terrific Battle.
The wash and the hornet may be
reckoned as formidable foes, but it
would appear that the spider, for his
size and weight, at least, is equal to
anything he may come across. In a
recent experiment a spider was pitted
against a wasp in an inverted
tumbler.
The wasp scored the first point,
biting off one of its opponent's legs;
in the next round the spider got ie an
effective bite, and the wasp died in
a few minutes. Two other contests
followed, and in each the spider came
oft victorious.
The strong feature of the spider is
its agility, and even in the uncongen-
ial environment of a tumbler it
evades attack with apparent ease.
With the added advantage of a web,
which provides not only lines of re-
treat and attack, but also serves to
entangle and embarrass the enemy,
the spider is a foeman whom even the
boldest spirits In the insect world
would hesitate to attack.
Caused Actors to Sneeze.
When the curtain rose for the first
act of the performance at the town

noticed that the actors on the stage
seemed to have bad colds. They all
sneezed so volently that they could
