Ground limestone and burnt lime receiving the burnt lime lagged be- from the soil. The Tennessee Experiment Station has grown wheat for 14 years and followed the wheat each year with a crop of cowpeas. On one plot the cowpeas have been turned: under and an average yield of 25 bushels of wheat has been obtained, where- as on the plot from which the cow- peas are removed for hay the yield has fallen from 10 to 15 bushels per acre. This, of course, shows that legumes do not build up the ‘soil's store of notrogren when removed for hay. When sod land needs lime, put the lime on it if there are enough grass plants to make a grass sod. Efforts to improve meadows and pastures often fail because the. number of plants on an acre is too small and som¥ fresh soil between the tufts of ons, bu it by the experience of Mrs. Old- K:Eer and thousands of otherswho have tried this fm_nons roctand herb remedy, Lydia E.

Much of the difficulty in growing it can be attributed to the low fertility of the s0ils on which it is being tried. A crop that produces three or four. an Secasionally five cuttings a year, requires plenty of plant food.

Bureau of Plant Industry prepared the following, which will.en- able the farmer and notato grower to easily recognize and control potatq blight: Early blight attacks only the leaves and stems of the potato plant.” The blight appears in the form of dark | brown or black areas upon the leaves or tender stems. Those areas usually show a series of concentric ridges | which give the effect of a target, and | early blight ¥s often known be ly incrgase in number until only a few leaved are left on the plant.
