subject to finger-and"toe or deficient in lime, 5 cwt. of 

 a good grade basic slag should be used along with at 

 least 2 cwt. nitrate of soda per statute acre. 



Slag or superphosphate when used, especially the 

 former, should if possible be applied some time before 

 sowing the seed, so that it may become soluble or 

 available for the crop in its early stages.
