O. A C. Graduate Tells of Fertilizers To Be Used On Crop. Corvallis, Or. Although onions will grow on a large variety of soils, they thrive best in a rich, mellow soil with p'enty of moisture. Just what fertil izers and soil treatment to use Is ex plained by Jay C. Leedy, of Sher wood, one of this year's seniors at the Oregon Agricultural college, in an article on "Soils and Fertilizers for Onions" In the Oregon Countryman, published by the students. "For commercial onion growingin Oregon the beaver meadows are prac tically the only ones given considera tion," says Mr. Leedy. "These lands are located mostly in Washington, Clackamas and Marion counties. Theoretically these lands have result ed from beavers samrning streams and oulets to lakes, hence the name; but nature has played a large part In the soil formation, in many cases without the aid of the beavers. "This soil forms a type known as cumulose, composed largely of organic matter and humus, and analysis, us ually shows about 2 per cent of nitro gen. Large portions of this plant food element are unavailable for the use of plant life. This type of soil generally contains a moderate amount of phosphoric acid, and usually very small amounts of potanh, sometimes as low as 2 per cent. Chemical analy sis of the soil is not to be relied upon in all cases as an indicator of the soil's power to produce crops, but is merely an index to the amount of the various plant foods present in the soil It has been found by experiments that these dam soils will not continue to produce profitable yields of onions without the addition of potassium in the form of animal manure or com mercial fertilizers. "Analysis of yellow Danver onions showed a content of .225 per cent ni trogen. .88 per cent phosphoric acid and .217 per cent potash. Taking an average yield to the acre of 300 sacks, each weighing 100 pounds, the analy sis would remove from the roil 67.5 pounds of nitrogen, 25.8 pounds of phosphoric acid and 65.1 pounds of potash. Thus it can be seen that the onion crop uses comparatively large amounts of the three essential fertiliz ing elements, and these must be sup plied to the soil if it does not already contain them. "Barnyard manure is almost indis pensable in the production of onions in any except the beaverdam soils, and is more used than any other fertilizer even on these soils. Indeed, there is no fertilizer so well adapted to the production of onions as a liberal amount of clean, well composted barn yard manure. It ia important that all stable manure used on onion land be well rotted before applied to the soil in order that the weed seeds may lose their germinating powers, and that the danger of diseases attacking the onions be lessened. A heavy applica tion of fresh manure may produce an overgrowth of tops at the expense of I the bulbs, and is sure to bring in a I large amount of weed seed, increasing the cost of weeding. It is difficult to make the soil too rich for onions, pro vided the manures are incorporated with the soil. The usual amounts, however, are 10 or 12 tons to the acre, applied before ploughing in the fall and then harrowed with the disc be fore planting in the spring. "Where enough manure is not pro duced on the farm, and where it can not be Becured profitably from a city near, commercial fertilizers must be resorted to. They , can supplant stable manure profitably, especially on the beaverdam soils, already rich in organic mattter. In some instances commercial fertilizers are used exclu sively with good results. One great advantage over stable manure is the fact of reducing the weeds to a mini mum, thus lessening the expensive production. A higher initial cost than stable manure tends to offset the disadvantages in weeding. As it is an intensive crop yielding large amounts of bulbs to the acre, growers are justified in manuring heavily. "Additional nitrogen increases the yield. The onion is planted early in the spring, before bacterial action be gins, and these agents in the soil which render the nitrogen available for plant use do not begin to work very actively until the soil is thoroughly warmed and the season well advanced. An application of ni trogen immediately available early in the season is thus beneficial in giving the plants an early and vigorous start. Sodium nitrate, containing about 16 per cent nitrogen, is the best form, 100 pounds to the acre as a top dress ing after the onions are planted. "Bone meal containing about 22 per cent phosphoric and 4 per cent ni trogen is a good fertilizer for onions. Making His Opportunity. A New York banker has made it the rule of his life never to swear except when he drops his watch, as he some times does absent-mindedly, and breaks it. Under strong provocation he took out his watch and flung it on the marble floor of his office. So, it seems, when you put your mind on it, there is a way to solve every problem. Unworthy of the Wise. Revenge is ever the pleasure of a paltry spirit, of a weak and abject mind. Juvenal. It Is not Immediately available, and me nenenciai enectfl oi one applica tion will extend over a period of sev eari years. It is sometimes applied in amounts as high as . 600 or 800 pounds to the acre. Acid phosphate or super-phosphate, containing about 16 per cent phosphoric acid, is also good for onions. It is made by treat ing finely ground phosphate rock with sulfuric acid, and is available for im mediate use. It is usually applied at the rate of about 400 pounds to the acre. "Muriate of potash is the chief source of potash. It contains about DO per cent of actual potash and is available for the use of the plant. It usually comes directly from its source in Stassfurt, Germany, in 224-pound sacks. It can be applied profitably at the rate of 1 sack to the acre. In some cases frertilizers are applied to beaverdam soils containing no nitro gen, but usually much better results are obtainable when some nitrogen is applied. "Voorhees, in his 'Fertilizers,' rec ommends an application of a thousand pounds of fertilizer containing 5 per cent nitrogen, 6 per cent phosphoric acd fand 10 per cent potash for onions. The Indiana experiment station states that, for muck lands in Indiana, 800 to 1000 pounds of fertilizer containing 1 to 14 per cent nitrogen, 6 to 8 per cent phosphoric acid and about 10 per cent potash gave satisfactory results. Both phosphoric acid and potash fer tilizers are readily fixed in the soil until the plant is ready to use them, and there is scarcely any loss by leaching. Hence they may be applied to the soil some time before planting. With sodium nitrate there is danger of loss from leaching, so it is not sown until the crop is ready for its imme diate use. FERTILITY IN PRODUCE. Demands of Different Crops on Soil Explained. Corvallis, Or. "It ia a matter of considerable interest and importance to know the demands which particular crops are making upon the soil, espe cially when plans are being made as they are in modern method of farm ing, to meet the demand by appropri ate fertilization," says Prof. C. E. Bradley, of the Oregon Agricultural college chemistry department, in a new bulletin on "The Soil of Oregon' (No. 112.) "The loss of mineral food and nitro gen by leaching and the loss of nitro gen by direct oxidation are, of course, additional demands which come to the cultivated soil," he contiues. He then gives a table of fertility of wheat, vetch hay, alfalfa hay, timo thy, potatoes, apples, fat cattle, milk, butter, and fresh kale, showing the composition and market value. "The value of tne plant food in one acre of wheat equals $11.40," says Prof. Bradley. "In like manner, $24.25 worth of plant foods go into 800 bushels of apples. The large amount of nitrogen and consequent high market value of plant foods in alfalfa and vetch is offset by the stor age of atmospheric nitrogen in the soil by these plants, so that the real nitrogen draft does not come on the soil. The mineral foods which these leguminous crops carry, however, are large and represent real losses when they are sold, as hay from the farm. The values for kale are extreme and represent the real demands on an acre of soil by an average kale crop, which by experience, is known to be hard on the land.' The small amount of fertility entering into dairy products and live stock explain the well known fact that these industries do not de plete the soil." GETTING RID OF ANTS. How To Exterminate Pests on Lawns and In Houses. Corvallis, Or.-The best methods of ridding lawns and houses of ants, which frequently become troublesome pests, are described by the crop pest workers of the Oregon Agricultural college, thus: "Whenever the ants' nest can be located the best means of destruction is to make a hole in the center of it with a crowbar or similar instrument, pour into it one or two ounces of bi sulphide of carbon, tamp the soil back into the hole and throw a heavy blanket over the nest to hold in the fumes of the bisulphide. "To destroy ants in the house a mixture of three grains of tartar emetic and four ounces of syrup should be smeared over bits of china or chips and placed in the ants' runway. It is especially good as a remedy because it will not kill the ants immediately. They carry the mixture to their nest and feed the larvae upon it, and thus kill out the entire colony." Charcoal in the Ice Box. A piece of charcoal in the ice box will take away the disagreeable "ice box" smell. If your ice box stands on the porch, where the ants are apt to get into it, place a small piece of bacon or ham on the lowest shelf. It will attract the ants, and yoa can easily remove them every day by re moving the piece of bacon. And There You Are. Self-made men brag of their rise, and their daughters boast of their descent.
