Experimental Plots
I must acknowledge that I have
been slow In taking advantage of mr :
OPIJortllnltles I farmed the old place
for many yearn without attempting lo
find out what It noedoll In the way of
'Itillzor In fact , I robbed a part of
lie ( farm anti Iwpt lip another part
: tIlll did not meow what I was doing
I IIsed lo haul out the manure every
spring and put , It all onto the fields
In which I grow potatoes and corn
'I'ha was very good for hose particular ,
cilIaI' fields , hut was a little \ hard on
the land that did not get any of the
mallllrc. I put It till the SallIO fieldM
every year hOC'ause I believed that
every 308' the corn and potatoes
took out ail I put on. I am now satis-
tied that there was a residue left that
was not really needed on those fiollls
and wOllld have been Jlaylll mo hotter '
lor interest had It been put. 011 some
of the flellls that hive 'nevcr had any
bttrnyard man11c.
In aHelllllng a fl11'l11ol's' institute I
heard the platter of oxperlmenlal piotr
discussed and thought I wOllld try
one on some of the poorest parts of
my fm'm. I mens\1I'cd off two acres
allll pill ftl'Ullzcoli "
110 ftl'Ullzc\ ! ono 111111 val"
touts hinds of fertilizers on the other
lit strlllS. I left the first acre for a
chel'l I pat on the other acre about
1,000 ) lolll1lls ) of lime and some piles '
phates , and ] a strip on that acre was
treated with nitrogen and another
with both phosphorus and nitrogen In
It commercial fOl'm.
The results were 1'emnrl\l\lJle , and I
ha\'e sltlce been wondering why I did
not do It before I found that the
phosphorus anti nitrogen wore both
deflclcnt. I made' an application per
acre of about 150 pounds or houe meal I
on a forlyacre field and put on some
hamyard manure , enough to give II
little mono nitrogen and humus tel
each acrc.
It Is astonishing how wo will run
along In the same rut for many years
and never think of what Is and what
might he , till we have an object les'
5011 ' : that brings the truth homo to us
I am hilt just hcglnnlng to teach my-
elf : ; hy the help of experimental plots
nllll I Intend to continue the good
worle.

No Cabbage . Sn..kc. .
Hcccntly an absurd fear has dovel
oped In the minds of some eaters 01
cabbages relative to the socalled "cab
gage snalw. " The superstition Is that
time -ollul\O : poisons the cabbages and so
renders lhem unfit lo eat The cxls '
once of such a creature Is denied h i
our scientists , but so pro\'alcnt is thJ
belief that at least one experiment station '
tlon has Issued a clrculur denying the : >
existence of the so.called snake. In
some parts or lhe country a small
whitish "eel. worm" has been found to
, infect caIJbasc : : . ' 1' : c lan'1\O of l1tio

Some of the more superstitious peop\ :

were made from the worms and injected .
