Increasing Fertility and Destroying 
Weeds 
I have been reading tbe articles in The 
K. N.-Y. by farmers who have failed to 
keep up the fertility of their farms by 
keeping cows, and I wish to say that I 
am in pretty much the game fix. I live 
in Penobscot County, Me., on a hill farm, 
the soil of which will grow, any kind of a 
crop grown in the northern latitudes, pro¬ 
vided the fertility can be kept up. My 
plan is to raise a crop of potatoes, some¬ 
times with barn manure and a commercial 
fertilizer, or just the fertilizer alone; 
then follow with a crop of corn. I plow 
in a coat of barn manure in the Fall and 
another the following Spring, using fer¬ 
tilizer in the hill, usually seeding the next 
Spring, using oats as a cover crop. 
My farm and the whole country about 
here is infested with orange hawk weed, 
also the big yellow sort which drives 
out everything else. Last August I turned 
under a field badly infested with the pest 
and limed it, using ground limestone at 
the rate of one-half ton to the acre, think¬ 
ing to repeat next Spring and sow some 
sort of a crop to plow under, and then 
seed to clover and Timothy. Am I right? 
fan anyone suggest, a better way? I 
would be grateful for any advice in the 
matter. I wish to destroy the weeds and 
restore the fertility of the soil without 
using a hoed crop. What will be the best 
to grow and plow under? f. a. t. 
It. N.-\.—We have followed this plan 
with good success. As for a suitable 
cover crop, we should use oats and Can¬ 
ada peas in New Jersey. Peijiaps some 
northern reader can suggest a better one 
for Maine. 
Inspect the New Trees 
Paul Thayer in a note from the Ohio 
Experiment Station talks of clean nur¬ 
sery stock : 
Three pests most commonly found on 
nursery stock are crown gall, woolly aphis 
and San Jose scale. 
Scale may be controlled bv dipping the 
tops of the young trees in a solution of 
lane-sulphur spray. The scale can be 
identified by circular dots about the size 
•>f a pinhead, usually on a slightlv sunken 
area^ of bark. 
Woolly aphis is identified by marked 
swellings on the roots. Roots, when 
badly attacked, resemble strings of heads. 
Trees with this infestation should be re¬ 
jected. 
Crown gall manifests itself in two 
forms; as tumors on. the roots or as a 
mass of fibrous roots. 
Most of us have learned how to handle 
the scale, and do not fear it greatly. This 
insect seems to have weakened during the 
past few years, and is not as serious a 
pest as formerly. It is bad enough, how¬ 
ever, and must be fought if we expect to 
have clean fruit. By dipping the young 
trees in lime-sulphur we can usually clean 
them. Crown gall is a had trouble. The 
nurserymen make light of it. and often 
claim there is no danger, but we would 
not plant a tree showing ga 1 In or knots 
if we could help it. We have seen trees 
coming from a nursery with the galls or 
bunches cut off with a sharp knife, and 
the wound plastered with mud to hide the 
scar. Our advice is to examine the trees 
carefully, and if any of them show the 
galls to lay them aside and ship them back 
to the nurseryman. 
Applying Fertilizer in Small Garden 
Tn applying fertilizer in a small garden 
I usually hoe out; the row a few inches 
deep, spread the fertilizer and chop it in 
thoroughly with the hoe. Is this the best 
method, and how much fertilizer should 
he used? W<> are told how*mueh to use 
per acre, hut the average small gardener 
wants to know how many feet of row a 
12-qt. pailful will care for economically. 
nd what portion of a cupful will be need¬ 
ed in a hill of corn or potatoes with aver¬ 
age soils. w. it. s. 
Any method that will get the fertilizer 
evenly worked into the soil will answer. 
Many of us put the fertilizer at the bot¬ 
tom of the drill and work the 
before putting in the seed, 
scattered along the row and 
with hoe or rake or 
can figure out how 
43,5<i0 square 
soil over it 
It may be 
worked in 
wheel cultivator. You 
much to use. There 
are 43,5(10 square feet in an acre. If 
you put the rows three feet apart, that 
will mean 14.520 feet of row. Suppose 
you use at the rate of 1,000 lbs. of fer¬ 
tilizer per acre. That meaus 1G.OOO oz.. 
or a little over one ouuee to the foot of 
row. By weighing a quart of the fertil¬ 
izer you can easily see how much is needed 
for a foot or rod.
