Green Manure Crops for Indiana. 
8. A. MEdinburg, Ind .—I have a truck 
and berry farm in Shelby County, Ind. Land 
is level, part black and part is upper clay. 
The black land is compact and needs humus 
as well as the clay. We cannot get a suf- 
fiicent amount of manure; what can I sow 
or plant to get humus? 
Ans. —Vetch offers better opportuni¬ 
ties for giving humus to these soils than 
any plant I know of. 1 have tried it on 
sandy land, clay, black alluvial and black 
muck of a sticky nature. On all these 
it has done much good. It is far better 
than cow peas or the clovers. I would 
sow oats on the fields this Spring and 
then follow with vetch in August or 
September, and let the vetch stand over 
Winter. By April the vetch would 
cover the field with a mass of foliage, and 
this turned under would give rich 
stores of humus. If left too long in the 
Spring it forms such a growth as to 
make it necessary to use a rolling cutter 
with the plow. The fields might be 
sown in vetcli this Spring, but in this 
case it would have to be turned under 
in the Fall. It would doubtless he as 
beneficial as the former, but necessitates 
the loss of a crop. If the oats are sown 
in well-prepared soil, all that would be 
required in August would be to loosen 
the surface and drill in the vetch. It 
will take care of itself. In drilling shut 
off the feed gauge, and it will sow 
ample seed. From 30 to 40 pounds seed 
are required per acre. On the clay I 
would sow 40 pounds; on the black soils 
30 will suffice. Seed can be obtained 
from any of the leading seedsmen. For 
truck ground vetch is most excellent. 
On the 160 acres sand farm so poor as 
not to pay expense for growing truck, 
a change was made that is astonishing. 
The farm is devoted to growing sweet 
corn, beets, peas, in fact all truck for 
the canning factory. The corn yields 
last year were over four tons where be¬ 
fore 20 bushels was the limit in field 
corn. The peas gave $75 per acre, over 
two tons to the acre. j. H. H.

Bone Dust Compared with Manure. 
C. L. It., Huntington, W. Va .—A person 
in Virginia lias been recommended to me 
as one who ground pure hone dust, and I 
have written him concerning same lie ad¬ 
vises that his bone dust is worth $36 per 
ton f. o. h., and 100 pounds of hone dust 
is equal in value to four two-horse loads of 
best stable manure, lasting one-third longer 
in production of crops, producing one-fourth 
heavier yield in grain and of a one-lifth 
better quality. What I am desirous of is 
fertilizer on Hay ground for grass, hillside 
or rolling land. Would you advise me if the 
bone dust alone is all right, or if you have 
anything better to suggest? I would also 
like to know the best fertilizer for peach 
trees this year that bore heavily last year. 
J feel as though from their heavy bearing 
last year, in case of a heavy crop on this 
year, something should be done to help the 
peaches along. 
Ans. —The only safe way to buy fer¬ 
tilizer is on a guaranteed analysis. If 
we knew the guarantee given with this 
bone dust we could do better, but we 
assume it is a fine sample containing V/ 2 
per cent nitrogen and 25 of phosphoric 
acid. We also assume that a two-horse 
load of manure is a ton—which is a 
small estimate. We have, then, the 
following comparison: 
Nitro- I'll os. Pot- 
gen. Acid. ash. 
100 pounds bone dust... 3Vi 25 
4 tons manure.40 25 50 
We take the average analysis of 
manure. This shows the nonsense of 
claiming this comparative value of 100 
pounds of the hone dust. The manure 
has 10 times as much nitrogen and as 
much phosphoric acid, while the bone 
dust has no potash whatever. Accord¬ 
ing to the dealer’s figures, one ton of 
his bone dusfc is equal to 80 loads of 
manure, which probably could not be 
bought for less than $100 anywhere that 
bone would be likely to be used. This 
is a good illustration of the extravagant 
claims made by some dealers in chemi¬ 
cals in order to sell their goods. For 
certain fertilizing purposes there is 
nothing better than good bone dust, hut 
it does not contain potash, and is not, 
like manure, a complete fertilizer. 
Strong clay soils are often rich natur¬ 
ally in potash, and some crops might do 
fairly well without that element being 
added, but for fruit we should always 
use potash unless careful experiment 
had shown that it was not needed. An¬ 
other way in which the bone dust is 
worth less than the manure is in the 
vegetable matter which the latter con¬ 
tains. This is particularly needed on 
heavy soils. If you will use three parts 
of this bone dust mixed with one part 
muriate of potash you will have a good 
mixture for your fruit.
