THE TOP DRESSING
OF SMALL GRAIN

U8UALLY ADDS MATERIALLY TO
I THE YIELD SAYS PROF. T. E.
I KEITT.
! DRIED BLOOD IS EFFECTIVE
When Applying a Tip Dresser Appll*
| cation Should Be Made Whan
Blades Are Dry.
Tho toprit'BHHing of small grain usu
ally adds materially to tho yield,
During these times when thA In
crease In production ts ho Vitally iua
portant the proper use of nitrate of
soda. sulphate of ammonia or dried
blood as a topderssing for grain
should prove very effective. At pres
ent prlcos the use of nitrate of soda
and sulphate of ammonia should prov?
most profltablo, as they are consider
ably cheuper per pound of actual nl
(rogon than dried blood.
Tho addition of topdressers to oat ?
has beftn particularly effective at tho
Coast Station: dried blood applied at
tho rate of 120 pounds per aero show
ed an average increase of 24.0 bushels
of oats per acre when applied in addi
tion to 000 pounds of 8-4-4 fertilizer
per acre ; sulphate of ammonia at the
rate of 75 pounds per acre. 34.0 bush
els Increase; and. nitrate of soda at
the rate of 100 pounds per aero show
ed an average Increase of 20.7 bushels
per acre.
At the Poo Dee Station the use of
nitrate of soda as a topdresser for
oats, that had been fertilized at plan*-]
Ing time, applied early at tho rate of
100 pounds per acre has shown an
average Increase of 19.5 bushels of
oats per acre, a late application of the
same amount of nitrate of soda show
i ed an average increase of 17.0 bushels
per acre: while double application
made at both times showed an aver
ago increase of 22.0 bushels per acre.
These results Indicate that an oarlv
topdresslng at the rate of 100 pounds
of nitrate of soda or its equivalent of
sulphate of ammonia, 75 pounds, or
the equivalent of dried blood, 120
I pounds, will give most economical re
! suits.
' The early applications are made
! about March 1st. When applying i
topdresser the application should be
made when the blades of the plants
are dry to prevent scalding.
Generally speaking, larger increases
are obtained from topdressers whero
the grain has * not been fertilized.
Under this condition at the Coast Sta
tion 120 pounds of dried blood showed
n gain of 38.8 bushels of oats, 75
pounds of sulphate of ammonia 4S.0
bushels, and 100 pounds of nitrate of
soda 30.4 bushels. However, the total
yield is generally greater when fer
tilizer is applied before planting and
later a topdresslng is used as- indi
cated.
The use of topdressers seems to be
more effective on light sandy soils
than on the heavier phases.

POINTS TO EMPHA8IZE IN SE
LECTING HOGS.
In selecting hogs, either for breed
ing or feeding there are some points
to which one should give special at
tention. _
The question of breed is largely a
matter of personal preference, how*
ever, one should consider the popu
larity or demand for what he proposes
to breed. Choose a breed that has
proved a good one ? there are several
? then select stock that are as true to
type as you can get.
Constitution is of vital importance.
It in natural that animals of strong
constitution have better appetites;
animals that give the most economical
and rapid gains are the ones that eat
freely. Indications of constitution are
large he&rt^girth and a broad, well
shaped head.
' Body capacity is another essential,
though it is very oommonly lacking in
hogs. Body capacity is found In the
animal that has plenty of "stretch" ?
good length, depth and breadth.
Insist on Quality which is indicated
by the hair and bone especially, and
the general finish and refinement of
the animal as a whole.
When a boar is to be selected, leok
for the points already mentioned and
in addition* select an Individual that
Is strong In masculinity and the char
acteristics of the breed he represents.
If a brood sow, look for femininity
together with the points mentioned.
Experienced breeders place much
stress on pronounced sex characteris
tics as they are intimately ^soeiated
