400 to 600 lbs. per acre, sown broadcast. The true principle 

 of manuring mowing lands and pastures, especially on light 

 leachy soils, is to apply a little at a time and often; that is, to 

 top dress with a moderate quantity at least twice during the 

 season. 



Top Dressing Winter Grains 



In the spring, after a particularly hard winter, it is often 

 necessary to apply something to bring the crop along. The soluble 

 best thing for this purpose is a soluble, active fertilizer. It Fertilizer 

 will promote vigorous, early maturity and often turn expected 

 failure into success. Apply from 200 to 400 lbs. broadcast 

 when the leaves are dry. 



Seeding or Stocking Down Land 



There is no doubt that stable manure is an excellent kind 

 of fertilizer for stocking down land, chiefly because it adds 

 humus to the soil and is slower in its effects. For that 

 reason, we recommend using stable manure liberally for seed- 

 ing down, and fertilizers on hoed crops. It is best, how- 

 ever, to use a little quick-acting fertilizer with the manure in catch 

 order to insure a good catch, — ^in other words, to feed the young 

 grass roots, which are shallow feeders, before the manure is 

 decomposed and ready to nourish. For this purpose apply 

 from 200 to 400 lbs., sown broadcast and lightly harrowed or 

 brushed into the soil before the seed is sown. If no manure is 

 applied, use from 600 to 1,000 lbs. per acre. 



Fodder Crops (Hungarian, Millet, Peas, 

 Oats, Barley, etc.) 



Used for Soiling or to be Cured: Apply from 400 to 600 

 lbs. per acre, broadcast, harrowed into the soil just before the 

 seed is sown. 



Roots 



It is true, although not usually believed, that 90% of 

 roots, like beets, etc., is water. Growth of this kind is in fact 

 concentrated leaf growth underground and requires a large
