THE USE AND ABUSE 0F CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS

(Desert-meat of Agriculture, Char- - illusion).-

Fertilisers have. for many years. been used, in large qantities in the belt agricultural countries of Eur- QPO. whsrelthe heaviest yields of cereals and roots are grown in the world. They are also used almost en- tirely by experienced potato grow- ers in‘ the United States. In the Maritime Provinces fettilillers have coma more recently into fairly gen- eral new-especially in the fruit and potato anti-ion. Due in a largo measure to ell-operative purchasing or its effective competition, fertiliz- ers ‘can now be purchased at much lower cost than when farm produce also ruled lower in value and the comparative values at the present makelthe use oi’ fertilisers not only profitabiiy possible, but imperative, if the greatest. possible profits are to be obtained.

The writer has used superphos- phate for turnips and, to a more lim- ited extent for other crops for many yum and would never consider at- tempting to‘ grow roots without this aid. When the cost or rent of land is considered as being the same. wheth- er we grow a fuii or half crop. the cost of ‘procuring cultivated seed and all other charges being equal, we oanrreadiiy see that an application

value of fertilizers in the growth of potatoes is found in its general use.

Fertilizers may also be profitably used on grain. hay and pasture crops. all of which am valuable stock feeds, as there are very few farms in this Province which have suffic- ient farm yard o sea manure to dress all land seeded to clover-as all such land should be in soil fer- tility is to be maintained or im- proved. .

The land on many large farms distant from the buildings is rarely manured, pasturage being the only means ‘ attempted to~ maintain soil fertility. If a small quantity of stable manure were hauled to such fields during the winter and piled con- venient for use in the spring, 800 pounds of super and 100 of nitrate of soda put in with four or five tons of manure to the acre, would in- crease the yield of groin most sur- prisingly with marked improvement in hte catch of clover and grass. A small quantity of potash would pr b- ably improve the yield but the writer has used the above system with most satisfactory results. Where a geed bottom of Timothy exists we have seen yields of from one-half to out ton extra, from a dressing of 100 pounds nitrate spread just after the gross had nicely started in the last of May or the first of June.

Not only does the intelligent use oil fertilisers increase the yield, but so forces the early growth of turn- ips and other root-l. that much lees injury is inflicted by ants, worms and other parasites, and the crop is ready for housing many days in ad- vance of that grown only by use of

were told they were bananas, a well- known fruit form the tropics. This first shipment was more in tho way of an experiment than anything else. and at‘ first they sold very slowly, as the price was l0 cents‘ apiece, or l1» a dozen-pretty expensive eating. when folks did not know whether they were going to like them 0r not. Ono thing in their favor was they were easy to peel, and easy to eat. as there were no seeds to dispose of, for they were ail pulp. The demand for bananas grew very slowly; and when people ate them at all, it was out of curiosity-they just wanted to be able to say they had eaten the new fruit-for new it certainly was. in this country. it i; the only sweet fruit that can be bought n-eui. and in good condition, in all parts of the country at all seasons of the year. As common as the fruit is how, few people lrnow just how it grows on the ploht. From the shape find l!" of the bunch, it is natural to sup- pose that the fruit hangs downward just as we see it hanging in the fruit stands. But as a matter of fact every banana grows upward, to the sunlight. But when we see a bunch hanging in a fruit stand. the ban- anas are all hanging upside down. and not as they grew on the parent stem.

it is hard to believe that it is a plant; at all. and not a. tree. As it has no seedsdt depends on sprouts that put up from the roots for the propagation of ‘the species.

Bananas are cut for shipment while the fruit is perfectly green, but when hung in dry. warm warehouses they rapidly take on the rich Bold color that makes them so attractive. Most of the bananas come from Central America. though a few are grown in California and the Gulf states.
