growth of barley and rape. This problem is being in¬

It seems safe from the results of this work to recom¬ 
mend acid phosphate and peat as efficient preservatives 
of horse manure. 
VISITING 
When a young man is learning the nursery business 
even those to the age of fifty or more there is no more 
fruitful source of education than visiting other nurseries. 
It matters not whether they are larger or smaller than his 
own or less or more efficient in the methods of growing. 
It would hardly be possible for him to come away without 
receiving a suggestion or absorbing knowledge that is 
valuable. 
In addition to this it brings men in the trade closer in 
touch with each other. The writer has visited many hun¬ 
dreds of nurseries and gardens in his time and yet can¬ 
not recall one instance where he was unhospitably re¬ 
ceived even though a complete stranger without appar¬ 
ent reason for calling other than an interest in plants. 
Among those who grow plants there seems to be a free 
masonry that opens up a free exchange of information 
on their common interests. 
Nurseries are often few and far between, unfortun¬ 
ately, but usually it is money and time well spent in talk¬ 
ing to others and seeing what they are doing in the same 
line of business and it is especially helpful and encourag¬ 
ing to the young man who is learning the business. 
Employers should encourage such exchange of visits 
among their men in every way possible.
