Garden and Farm Notes 
Dodder in Clover 
I have a plot of young clover that I 
have cut for hay, and found five spots in 
it from 3 to 5 ft. in diameter that have a 
small yellow vine that wound around the 
clover until it is all in one mat. I don’t 
see any leaves or seed on it. Can you toll 
me what it is? Will it be likely to come 
up next Summer? Will it spread? Would 
I better plow it up? It looks to me like a 
bad one. P. w. 
This is a case of dodder which has 
worked into the clover; probably mixed in 
the seed. This parasite often works into 
clover or Alfalfa. It twines around the 
plants and strangles them. Where the 
spots can be located a good plan is to 
mow these spots promptly, let the hay dry 
on the ground and then put on a little 
kerosene and burn it up. This will clean 
out the dodder, and if the field is not too 
bad the clover can stand. If the field is 
very bad, however, and the dodder is 
spreading all through it, it would be bet¬ 
ter to plow up the whole thiug and plant 
some hoed crop, keeping the weeds thor¬ 
oughly killed out. 
Caring for Quince Trees 
Last Spring I set out a block of 30 
quince trees. 15 each of Orange and 
Champion. I would like to learn the best 
method of caring for them ; whether clean 
cultivation or sod, the proper fertilizer to 
use, the diseases they are subject to, and 
proper treatment. At what age will they 
commence to bear? After reading the 
quince tree story in Tiie R. N.-Y. this 
week am more interested than ever, and 
can see a great fortune for my legatees. 
I shall hardly live TO years more, as I am 
already 63. G. s. 
New Jersey. 
The quince succeeds best upon strong 
loam soils that do not suffer from drought. 
The idea quite generally prevails that the 
quince should be planted in wet soils, but 
this is not the best condition for them. 
A good, well-drained apple soil is good for 
the quince. This fruit tree is quite sub¬ 
ject to fire blight or pear blight, aud if 
planted upon light sandy soils or those 
which suffer from drought, it is difficult 
to secure rapid growth without causing 
the trees to blight. In Southern New 
Jersey it would be best to give the trees 
clean cultivation for the first few years, 
but not encourage the trees to make too 
succulent a growth. Quinces commonly 
come into bearing by the fifth or sixth 
year after planting if they develop well. 
The quince needs about the same spray¬ 
ing as the apple. The codling moth or 
apple worm attacks the fruit of the 
quince. With the exception of the blight, 
the insect and disease troubles of a quince 
are fairly easy to control in New Jersey 
by regular spraying. Since your trees 
were set last Spring they will not require 
much spraying until they come into bear¬ 
ing. A Winter-strength lime-sulphur 
spray before the trees start to grow in 
Spring will control the scale, and one or 
more sprayings with arsenate of lead in 
the Spring will keep leaf-eating insects 
from damaging the trees. If your soil is 
of average fertility, a mixture of 100 Ibe. 
of nitrate of soda and 400 to 600 lbs. of 
acid phosphate to the acre would prob¬ 
ably furnish sufficient plant food for the 
trees, or you might use 500 to 600 lbs. of 
a fairly good mixed fertilizer, such as a 
4-10. If potash becomes cheaper it may 
be desirable to use some of this form of 
plant food later, M. A. blake. 
Straightening Trees 
Are there methods of bracing or get¬ 
ting trees back straight which have got 
about a 40-degree lean? Some got this 
from severe storms, and others grew nat¬ 
urally thus. They are various kinds, in¬ 
cluding some fruit, measuring four inches 
in trunk diameter. These trees are on a 
large area of ground surrounding a mod¬ 
ern residence, facing noticeable thorough¬ 
fares, and in undertaking this job I am 
required to accomplish it and avoid mak¬ 
ing it an eyesore. w. s. 
Westchester Co., N. Y. 
Trees of this class are often beyond re¬ 
demption, hut the best, aud practically 
the only effective method of treatment is 
to dig around the Toots, precisely as though 
you were about to transplant the tree. 
Then, when sufficiently loosened, pull it 
into such a position that the portion of 
the trunk that is above the crook shall be 
perpendicular, tamp the earth well around 
the roots, aud trim the top into the best 
possible shape. Of course there will be 
a crook in the trunk, but, in future years, 
the greatest growth of the tree will be on 
the concave side of the trunk, with but 
very little growth on the opposite side, 
and gradually the curve will be eliminat¬ 
ed. With some varieties of trees it is pos¬ 
sible, in case the crook is too high to re¬ 
spond to treatment of this nature, to cut 
off the entire top. below the crook, and 
develop a new and more shapely head. 
When this plan is adopted the work 
should be done in early Spring to insure 
success. Even then, in case of many va¬ 
rieties, it will result in the death of the 
tree. c. o. o. 
What Is Acid Phosphate? 
T hear a good deal about acid phos¬ 
phate now. In what way does this differ 
from the regular brands of commercial 
fertilizer that have been used so long? 
And for what crops or kinds of land is 
it best suited? E. S. D. 
What is known as acid phosphate or 
superphosphate is a product containing 
available phosphoric acid. It is made by 
mixing ground phosphate rock with sul¬ 
phuric acid. This phosphate rock is a 
deposit found in various parts of the 
country. It is dug out of the ground and 
crushed or ground fine. In this condition 
the phosphoric acid which it contains is 
not immediately available. When mixed 
with sulphuric acid, however, a chemical 
change takes place which leaves the phos¬ 
phoric acid in a soluble or available form, 
so that it is ready when put into the 
ground to be taken up by the crops. The 
acid phosphate, therefore, contains this 
available phosphoric acid and is useful 
wherever phosphorus is needed. Phos¬ 
phorus is the element most needed in the 
production of seeds or grains, and in 
building up the stem or framework of the 
plant. It is particularly needed in all 
kinds of grain and grass, and especially 
with clover and Alfalfa, or in other crops 
which produce large quantities of seeds. 
The difference between the acid phos¬ 
phate and the average commercial fertil¬ 
izer is the fact that the latter is a mix¬ 
ture or combination of various chemical 
substances, while the acid phosphate con¬ 
tains phosphoric acid, nitrogen and pot¬ 
ash. We might say that the commercial 
fertilizer is a combination of acid phos¬ 
phate with other chemicals containing 
nitrogen and potash, all mixed together 
so as to make a good combination of plant 
food. Where a farmer has a good quan¬ 
tity of manure the acid phosphate alone 
will usually give good results, but if he 
does not have an abundance of manure or 
clover or other crops to plow under and 
thus provide more nitrogen it would be 
better for him to buy the full commercial 
fertilizer or some form of nitrogen aud 
potash to use acid phosphate.
