It was to convince the public, farm- ers in particular, that the poorer soils in the state cad be made produce profitable crops at a low cost, that the Pennsylvania Btate College held vublic demonstration, Thursday of last week, on Allegheny Mountain, in the vicinity of Boow Bhoe, The soil in that section is termed De Kalb by the scientific mer, and is identical to a dozen million aeres« more in slwost every section of Pennuyl- vapis—in fact, almost half the terri- tory of the Keystone state, and found in thirty-three of the sixty-even counties, DeKalb scil is of th» slate variety, usually thir, but not go everywhere, In thie ps: ticular portion of Penney i- vabnis, in the Snow Bhoe district, there sre weapy abapdoned farms, and on one of these farms that had not felt » friendly band in forty vears the pro- fegeors of the Agricultural Depart ment at Penvsylvania NBtate College asl spring began to till and plant, I'hey plapted in cor fidence, of cours velleviog in the theory they wer about to put into practice. The *Ul 8 were a jealizstion shove their rXpectatione, The abandoned scores yirlded remarkably —yielded at a rate 10 weke faring profitable, There was really pothing pew in their Welbod of tres ing the soll—it was simply thorough tillage snd the ap- plea lon of two very deficient ele- mentt~ljme and phosphorie scid—ir vearly nl] soils that have long beer tilled 8% well as in many new goils, Lime wag applied in the form of ground lime stone and phosphorite scld 10 the form of common seid phos- phate, Ihree tons of ground lms stone sand three bundred and fifty Polbgg of sixteen per cent, acid phos. phste was used, Under this 8 stem the plots yielded at the rate of a. tor and one-half of bay, thirty-five bushels {#belled ) corr, inhirty bushels #iXteen bushels wheat, The cost of lle nnd fertilizer, $8.46 per scre, Many of the farmers who read this seccomplishment on the DeKali «oil will pot be dircotly inte rested, bu there ia a lesson for every farmer whe ‘ills the ordinary farm. The plots st the Bnow Bhoe demonsirstion show conclusively that peither lime, phos- phoriec seid or manure when used alone will bring the best results, bat that it is the combinstion of the ‘hree that works the miracles, An- other lesson ia that soils c«n be built ap without either nitrogen or potash tn commercial form, apd that clover is the key pote, Clover may be grow: after applying lime and phosphorie «eid, ana clover will replenish nitro- g+u and add potash, #4 At the last meeting of the borovgh war made of the eollecting of fines for except to say that the counell bad no knowl ’ fee % ‘ nts f { i I ————————— AAA.
