It its y what a great many thousands of peo- ; j pie have thought. All those "super| stations" did not fit in with the little i .-bit of cocksure science that every boy and girl learned in school. It was I jlnerely something for well-meaning ^okl fogies to putter around with and i for well-informed people to smile at. Comes now the Departmenet of / Agriculture and says that such lore I is not superstition and never was; f that it is not useless and never was; but that, on the other hand, it is and ' has always been one of the most ac; curate aids possible to the right sort of agriculture. Here is the opinion in the- language of Dr. A. 1). Hopkins, one of the world's leading scion i tistx, not with the department: "Properly recorded and correctly 1 interpreted there is nothing: perhaps to equal the records of the dates of pcridieal events in plants as indices thcbio-climatic character of a place or local area, because such events arc in direct response, not to one or a few, but to all the complex elements I and factors of the environment which | no artificial instrument or set of iny struments yet available will record." | Index Plants. What that means, in plain language, is that there is a best time for < every farm and garden operation j and that some tree or shi-ub or plant indicates that best time more accur- j ^ lately than all the scientific instru)| Horses a I to We still have on hand a nic Mules.

The only restriction is that this nature lore with relation to crops he 'properly recorded and correctly interpreted." The "superstitions" that you smiled at were all the while the basis of a very useful and very exact science?only nobody had ever systematized it. "Very little specific study," says Di. Hopkins, "has been made in this country of the subject of index plants to determine their relation to different periodical events in farm ami garden practice, especially with reference to the relative value of different species and varieties as to the constancy of their periodical responses to seasonal influences year after year. Therefore it is apparent that among the subjects requiring thorough systematic investigation that of the relation of phenology to agriculture is among the most important." You sec, this systfcm that the obi ri>ll(HVn<l vn? ilin i;ni/>n/?n nf phenology?only it was not scientifically got together. "Phonology" means the science of phenomena No human being has even yet known it in its completeness. Many hundreds of years ago a wise man, though probably an unlettered one, picked up i bit of it here and there and practiced it and told it to his children and they practiced it and in turn told it to their children. So it came down i by word of mouth through many gen erations, with accretions here and there, every generation adding a little but each generation likely to I confuse and wrongly apply what it bad inherited from the preceding gen ciation. Some of its results may have been wrong because men failed to remember accurately or to apply properly what their grandfathers had told them or what they had learn (?d for themselves, but, on the whole, 1 it doubtless has worked beneficially, and now a beginning is made toward converting it into an exact science.

It involves ! platted curves, graduated diagrams, i and world maps with zigzag ! lines running through them.

THE HOBBY HBBALD, COM have started it all. Its depredations I were such.that it was necessary to ( sow wheat so late that the Hessian fly woudd not ruin it and yet early enough that it would get a start before very cold weather. The Department of Agriculture undertook to establish a system of planting dates for every section of the United Stat- [ Co in which wheat is grown. It was not possible to make investigations in every field to determine the right time for planting. What had to be done was to establish one correct t me and work out the others from it. The rule was laid down that the sea- ( son, in general, varies four days for each 1 degree of latitude, 5 degrees of longitude, and 400 feet of altitude. That is a perfectly good, workable * rule. A disk calendar and other mc- I chanica! devices have been got out to ] aid the farmer in applying it. By it J any farmer can determine about 1 what time ho should sow his wheat. i But he cannot determine the exact 5 time. And it would work out the same way for planting any other i crop. No two seasons are just the same. The date that is right this < year may not be right next year. hut ix, on the day that was right for planting cotton this year, the i jlccust trees were just coming into bloom, the probability is that the right day next year will be the day on which the locust trees are beginning to bloom, though it. may be ten days late or ten days earlier than the year before. If, for five or ton or any number of years, it is determined that the best day for planting cotton seed is the day on which the locust trees are beginning to bloom, the blooming becomes a pretty reliable index as to when to begin planting. That, of course, is a sup-j j position case. Locust blooms are not j I known to have any relation to cotton planting time. But the time for sowing winter wheat has been determined upon the period 'between the time when the tall golden rod is in full bloom and the time when the common white Japanese clematis flowers arc nearly all gone or the leaves arc distinctly colored on the dogwood and hickories. At least, that is the ver diet cf Dr. Hopkins. And that is what the application of the science of phonology to agriculture will be when it is worked out? a definite something in nature that will indicate the right time for doing a definite thing in the farm operations. It will be rather a slow progress. Dr. Hopkins has worked out fovms for gathering index material on practically all trees, shrubs, and plants, annual and perennial, wild end cultivated with regard to the | various crops. In the course of years qualified agricultural experts will gather and systematize the data. In the meantime?well, any indi; vidual farmer may have some of his j natural phenomenon indices wrong, (but he is likely to have a good many jo! them right. If he will use his own j powers of observation and his own judgment, he can correct them for j himself from time to time. Any ini i elligent farmer who will take the !trouble can work out a pretty good j system for himself. And the Depart ; r.tent of Agriculture will be able to ; give him more and more aid from : year to year. Dr. Hopkins has recorded the rei suits of his work in a Weather Bv! V( au publication entitled "Periodical I F,vents and Natural Law as Guides to Agricultural Research and Pract ce," but it is too technical for the 1 average reader?in fact, it is not meant for the average reader.

This is rot practicable at all times, and fertilizers may be bought from reliable manufacturers, who generally are willing to incorporate any ingredients desired by the buyer. Care .should be taken in buying tobacco feitilizer that materials from which they arc made are derived from the right source. The phosphorus in tobacco fertilizer is generally obtained from 14 per cent to 1(5 per cent acid phosphate, while the nitrogen is obtained from dried blood, fish scrap, tankage, cotton seed meal, and sulphate of ammonia. The use of nitiate of soda under tobacco except in very rare cases is not recommended. ]>ried ground blood is almost as quick ly available as soda and should compose at least one half of the nitrogen in tobacco feert.ilizcr. The other half may be obtained from the sources named above. irivimv - , O r> WWII nw V4 ' meal the preference. Potash in the form of sulphate should he used. Muriates and kainit should not. he used, as they contain ehlorin, which tends to injure the burning- qualities of tobacco. The presence of ehlorin is shown by the black ashes produced in burning. Stable manure may be used in small quantities or in compost at the rate of from three to five loads per acre. But two much stable manure tends to cause funfus diseases 1)11 the growing tobacco. The best way to use stable manure when used by itself is to chop it finely and sow in the drill at the rate of from three to five loads per acre. Another good method is to make compost heaps with wood-mold or the top soil |V... s 1 -? ?? ?> rl nV>1 A .1 i Villi int. oi.-M.iaiV/ aii*uivu 1 . This compost should have boon made early in January or February and should be applied in the drill when the fertilizer is put down, or before. A second application of fertilizer to tobacco is not advised, as this is likely to cause what tobacco planters call "second growth," and this is not desirable. The fertilizers under tobacco should be nearly exhausted by the time the tobacco commences to mature, so that maturity may be hastened.?R. E. Currin.
