form of organic matter, and may be used 

 to good advantage in the greenhouse. 

 Old pastures covered with a thick blue 

 grass sod are ideal sources of supply and 

 the material is usually composted with 

 manure, if available, and placed in the 

 houses just before the crops are planted. 

 Three or four inches of this material per 

 annum makes it possible to maintain 

 the soil in good physical condition. Com- 

 mercial fertilizers must be depended on 

 for most of the plant food. When fol- 

 lowing this practice, it is, of course, 

 necessary to remove a few inches of 

 soil every year or two. 



Anotlier method, sometimes followed 

 where it is impossible to secure fresh 

 supplies of sod compost, is to prepare 

 the soil by devoting an outdoor tract to 

 clover, cowpeas or other soil-improving 

 crops, and, at the same time, to make 

 lilieral a{)plicatioiis of high-grade com- 

 mercial fertilizers, the whole idea being 

 to put the soil in the best possible condi- 

 tion for the greenhouse crops. After a 

 season or two of this treatment, it is 

 ready for use in the houses, either on the 

 benches or on ground beds. It must be 

 confessed, however, that some manure 

 is highly desirable, also. 



Use of Muck. 



Large areas of mucks and peat's arc to 

 be found in many sections of the coun- 

 try and, as this material is high in or- 

 ganic matter and much of it is high in 

 nitrogen, its use has been advocated as 

 a substitute for manure in the green- 

 house. Work done several years ago by 

 the oflSce of horticultural and pomologi- 

 cal investigations, the results of which 

 were published in the Journal of the 

 American Peat Society, January, 1921, 

 showed that mixtures of one-fourtli 

 muck and three-fourths soil gave results 

 comparable with ordinary juaiticcs in 

 using manure in the greenhouse. 



This work is being continued at the 

 present time and the last season's work 

 gave results similar to those secured in 

 the earlier studies. The present work is 

 with Indiana muck, analyzing about 3.G
