During the past year,' Mr. J. E. Craig, of Lancaster, It. V. D., No. 1, had 3d acres in mixed .crasses and clovers. Ili average yield per acre on this was: ! 1? tons of cured hay. Most of the land under grass was grazed after the first cut ting. Mr. Craig sells more hay than perhaps all the other farmers in the county. In addition to his regular grass land, he grows peas, sorghum and other summer forage crops in rotation. lie has 14 acres in alfalfa, and is also a great believer in crimson clover as winter crop and soil improver."

Reported Not Equal ^ To Demand Atlanta, ?a.?A survey of, the ferillzor situation by those familiar with t indicates that there may be a shortigc of commercial plunt food in 1920. The reasons assigned for this are prin:ipaly that strikes have Interfered vlth the production of materials. In iddition, there has been some diffi:ulty in obtaining shipments over the allroads. To be more specific, the long drawn >ut strike of miners in tho rock phos>hate fields of Florida prevented a lupply of rock phosphate being ship >cd to tho factories. This and the dificulty of gutting prompt shipments vhen the mines resumed work, It ie daimed, has put the manufacture of icid phosphate more than three nonths behind, bosidos reducing the possible supply. As to ammoniates or nitrogenous natorials, it is pointed out that the :oai and steel plant strikes greatly educed the possible output of eulthate of ammonia. Tankage and cotonueed meal are so much in demand is feed as to be unavailable or too extensive to use as fertilisers. Nlrate of soda is being shipped In larger imounts, but not as cheaply as was ixpected. It seems that the demand or nitrate of soda In the orient, especially, has kept up the price higher han was anticipated. As for potash, there Is going to be i fair supply, the first time plnce the European war began. A considerable imount of potash has been shipped rom Germany to France, while there 8 quite an accumulatalon of stocks if desirable American-made potash en land. The Soil Improvement Committee >f the Southern Fertiliser Association, vlth headquarters in Atlanta, Is sendng out Information to southern farmirs urging them to order their frontiers early and for immediate shipnent. The reasons given are that here is going to be great difficulty n gupplylng the demand, and the iooner It is known how much the armor wants, the sooner the lnanuacturer will know how big a Job he iuh uu qib Danas ana now bard he nust work to accomplish as much of t as poeslble. It 1b alao stated that the ralroads ire anxious that fertilisers be ordered >arly bo that they may be able to provide care, else there will be a serious llfflrulty In getting fertilizers dolivired on time. Tho railroads are also nutating on full carload Bhipments, vhlch makes It necessary to have orlor" early bo as to consolidate them nto full carloads. It in stated that the indications are hat there will bo a heavy demand for 'ertllizerB throughout the South this rear on uccount of the promising prospects for southern crops. It is ituted, also, that the orders coming n to the factories reveal that tho nrnier is now wanting higher grade !ertlllzers than ever before. POISONING BOLL WEEVIL What Is claimed to be the most efective method yet devised for com>attlng the boll weevil Is that of poiinnlng it with calcium arsenate. The ntftliod was perfected by 13. R. Coad >f tho United States Department of Agriculture, at the Tallulah, La., stalon, after several years of experinenting. The weevil is poisoned by hinting tho cotton at night or while he dew 1b on, using a dusting ma!hine to apply It. The material potions tho dew on which the weevil defends for his Hrlt.Ulnrr ~ofn\ ??uioa. 1 UfJ veevll 1h killed, but there Is another feneration hatching out, so that the lolson must be applied three or tour lines at a week or tan days Intervals. Experiments show that the weevil tan be kept down to such an extent hat they oan not do serious damage, rhe cotton saved la worth far mora han the coat. It Is Important that the right kind >f calcium arsenate be used. There ire different kinds, made for differ ?nt purposes. The wrong kind may >e too weak to kill weevils, or too itrong and injure the ootton plant There is no use to begla dusting he cotton plants before about ten >ut of every 100 squares are punctured >y the weevfl. It will be a waste of noney to undertake to spray a field horoughly to when there are fewer veevils in the field. While it will till practically all that are alive, the lew hatch will have to be taken care if by subsequent aprays. It is not ad rtsed that any one undertake to dust he plants with anything else than the regular dusting machines. The pole ind bag methods has not proven successful.

INSURES NATIONAL DEFENSE Assurance of Abundant Amerioan Explosives a Reason Why Germany Quit By GARRET SMITH. One of the chief fortresses of America's now military defense system which developed ont of the World War Is the Ammonium Nitrate IMunt at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, on the Tennessee Hlvcr, over three hundred miles from the sencoast, capable of turning out .100 tons of high explosives a day. It assures to the United States for all time an abundat?ce of ammunition without which an army Is a helpless encumbrance and It has made this unlimited supply of explosives available without resort to raw material from outside of the country. The essential ingredient of all modern military explosives In nitric add. Before the World War, America wus entirely dependent upon Chile for tlic supply of nitrate of soda, the only chemical from whl?h nitric acid can bo made. In case this country became Involved In war with any nation that could control the sea our foe would have us at her mercy, for she could cut off our essential means of striking back. I Other nations, however, were enimllv (lotu.ii.iniit imnn ?i.? ci.ii....? nitrate supply. Germany was purchasing one-third of It. She hud expected to liold the son with lior submarines but failed. But a process for extracting nitrogen from tlp> air had been obtained by Germany some years before from Italian chemists. This process lmd been successful In producing a high grade nitrogenous fertilizer from which In turn could be extracted ammonium nitrate. Germany, therefore, fell to manufacturing (Vnumnluin nitrate from the uir on n Inrge scale. Americans Buy German Secret. In 1007 an American (yunpany, headed by Frank S.

I The Air Nitrates Corporation was 1 formed, with Mr. Washburn nt Its : heart, to buihl the Muscle Shoals plant. It was assisted by several other well known corporations, such as the West- I lnghouse Church Kerr Company, which I* put up the plant buildings, the permanent city and utilities; the J. G. White Corporation, which designed and constructed the power plant; the Chemical Construction Company, which designed and built the nitric aciJ plant, and the M. W. Kellogg Company, which furnished the piping and built the chimneys. Beginning work in November, 1017, the big plant and new city at Muscle Shoals was completed within one year's time. Had the expected spring drive of 1910 materialized this one plant alone would have been able to supply 18 per cent of all the high explosives used by ull the Allied armies on all fronts during that drive, and the United States was secure for all time to come against an ammunition shortage. When the arrangement was flually made for building the big air nitrate plant, work was begun on a power dam at the same point.

Plant Worth All It Coat. Now, this entire Job cost the Government $00,000,000. It was put through at a time when the prices of materials and hthor were at their summit. It was built at record speed, and speed costs money. The question naturally arises, then, as to whether Uncle Sum got his money's worth. Tests made after the plant wns In operation show<tl that ammonium nltr%te of standard specifications could he produced at this plant at a cost of less than one-half the standard tlxed price paid by the Government for ammonium nitrate produced by, the older methods. This cost is only about onefourth to one-llfth the cost of other high explosives of equul strength. Compared with the older process for making ammonium nitrate, the savings made by this plant would have puid for the entire plant In about one and one-half yenrs of operation.
