Need Addition to
Lime and Manure
Superphosphate Recom
mended for the Improve-
ment of Pastures.
By L. R. Simons, Director of Rxtenalon,
New York State College of Agriculture.
WNU Service.
The extension service of the College
of Agrculture is working on a cam-
paign for pasture Improvement, as
part of an effort to get more pounds
of milk to the acre. It says that the
present main activity of this campaign
is to induce the use of superphosphate
with manure for top dressings for pas
tures, and for the growing of small
grains and silage,
The college points out that New
York soils and manure are low In
phosphorus, and for this reason, super-
phosphate should be used to supple-
ment lime and manure in order to get
better yields of legume-hay and small
grain crops.
Because superphosphate doubles the
value of manure as a fertilizer, it
makes the supply go further. Recent
experiments have also proved that su-
perphosphate, alone or with manure,
will greatly improve permanent pas-
tures.
The college makes these suggestions
for the use of superphosphate:
Buy bulk superphosphate. Use it in
the dairy barn this winter at the rate
of four or five pounds for each cow,
40 to 50 pounds for every load of ma-
nure.
Apply the manure supplemented
with superphosphate at the
land or for top dressing new seeding

In these days, when financial prob-

there is a tendency to curtail in en-

ural result, it is, nevertheless, to be
deplored. It is when spirits are low
that the heartening of congenial com-
panionship is most needed. These
social events that do not drain, or
even strain, the purse, are actual in-
vestments in good health for host
