Rye as Green Manure 
Tn a recent issue of one of r he so-called 
farm journals there is an illustration of 
rye and vetch to he turned under as a 
green manure crop. The rye was 4 or 5 
ft. high and headed out. Now, as T un¬ 
derstand green manure crops, the value 
of the organic matter in the soil is de¬ 
pendent on the ease in which it decays. 
When crops are about half grown they 
arc at about the most succulent point, 
and decay with greatest ease. Soils re¬ 
ceiving green manure at the half mature 
stage produce the largest crops when 
planted. Rye for best results should he 
plowed under when about IS in. high, 
and not as shown in the illustration 
given. Some growers have reported had 
results from plowing in rye. hut on check¬ 
ing up it is generally found that the crop 
was nearly mature, nr in just the stage 
shown in the illustration referred to. We 
sow two bushels of rye per acre after 
peas are harvested, and plow the crop 
under late in the Fall. Lime is then 
broadcast, and the soil is ready for a 
hamper crop in the Spring. We plan to 
plow when the crop is IS in. high. 
Northern New York. t. n. t. 
R. N.-Y.—Tn a few cases we think it 
pays to let rye come to head before plow¬ 
ing under. Such cases are where the soil 
is very deficient in organic matter. The 
larger hulk of rye is needed, and in such 
cases it is not so necessary to have it 
decay at once. Generally speaking, how¬ 
ever. it in better to plow the rye under 
while it is young and soft. Then you get 
quicker results. One good plan is to 
chop the young rye up with a disk or 
cutaway before plowing. That puts it 
all under and hastens decay. The usual 
trouble following rye is when the mature 
crop is plowed under and left loose. The 
air works into the hollow stems and 
makes trouble. When such ground is 
packed with a roller or heavy drag after 
plowing there will he little trouble.

Marketing Horseradish 
I have about one-quarter of an acre of 
horseradish which 1 planted last Spring, 
and people (ell me that it in looking fine, 
but T do not know much about if. Would 
if pay me to grind it and sell it. or would 
it pay me just ns well to sHl it right out 
of the field? Where could 1 find n ready 
market for ground horseradish, and 
where could I buy a machine for grind¬ 
ing same? a. T). 
A number of growers of horseradish 
market their own product in bottles. The 
roots are cleaned, run through a grinder 
and bottled. The best trade I know about 
is one worked up through the smaller 
towns near home where regular custo¬ 
mers can he secured and where a brand 
can he recognized. A grower selling his 
crop in the field will receive less for his 
crop, for every one handling the crop will 
take mil a profit. A* the price is prnc- 
lically fixed at the selling end this means 
every profit taken out leaves just that 
much less for the grower. A grinder with 
small engine is in Common use for home 
grinding, such a machine being adver¬ 
tised in meat market supply house cata¬ 
logues. Any grower must study his own 
market ami decide whether it would lie 
more profitable to <oll in the field or put 
up a finished product. t. if. T.
