If ProfMMr Klllott. Wuhfnctoa RUU 0Ut:
Pullman.
I'ullman, April 25k Thl week the
Watbington Htate College experiment
tatlon received the following inquiry
from W. L. It., who retldet In Hiattle:
"I with torn practical luggottlon
from you relative to the best gratiet
or grain to tow on 'upland' In Kitiap
County, on tandy loam, which drlet out
too early In dry ttatont to produce mott
cropt. After having beta cleared off,
thlt land wat allowed to grow up with
young fir and ferot. Bowing xya in the
fall, and plowing the rye under In th
pring to plsnt potatott bat been rec
ommtndtd to me, but to far at I know
little experimenting hat been don in
Kitiap County on upland toil. There
ar beds of mack nttr the land. Would
it be advisable to pile and dry this mock
and later use It a a drttting lor straw
berry plantt, tmall fruit, and in start
ing apple trc-etf"
Frofrstor Klllott replied; "I believe
that th best gran for the region yon
rnenlon It orchard gratt, although I
have found Italian rye grtti doing quite
well. Th land I much benefited by
the application of land platter, or gyp
turn. I doubt ytij much if on could
use muck a a fertiliser, unlet It wot
worked over quite thoroughly before
uting, Mott muck tollt are In a con
dition that we call inert: that it, they
are dad to far at practical crop-growing
it concerned, and need firtt to be
acted upon by the weather and luntblne
and bacteria, whieb are filrient in re
deeming land. Much of the land In
Kitup Caunty, t wall as swamp lands,
ar in thlt condition. You will And the
application of barnyard manure rtry
beneficial alto, but I believe the bett
way It to treat the land with lime and
land platttr; thtn follow with clover
and tucb othtr tropt at may be d
ilred."
A. O. T., retlding ntar Cove, Waih.,
writ at: "Can you give me any infor
mation at to whttbtr cbltkea manure is
too strong, and will thut burn and In
jnre atrawborr plant, If put directly
on the crown of the plant! In thl re
gion rny little livestock it kept, to
that manure for fertilising purpote i
rather learc.
"Another point I with te bring up 1
the care or a cow berore calving, where
milk fever U Mtpeeted. I lott one
good animal from milk fevtr last fall,
and do not with to take any mora
chaneet, If I can help it."
The station repllrl: "la using chicken
manure a a rertllixer It I better to
apply It in liquid form. Tbii form of
fertiliter I very high la it nitrogen
content, and alao contain a eontidtr
able quantity of potash. Pot the ma.
nure in a barrel or troogb, thtn throw
water on it, later applying the liquid
to the ground about the plant. Do not
touch the plants with th liquid. This
would give you better rmolts than if
used In the dry form.
"A a preventive of milk ttrtr. we
advise a rednction In the amount of
grain feed, and an increase In food of
a succulent nature. Boot, grastet, or
tllage would all be good, bat too much
grain food might indue milk fever.
You had better make a itady of th
mean of cheeking milk fever by the in
jection of oxygen with a tmall iringe."
"Dodder is deatroying my clover,"
write J O, C. from Kochetter. "How
may I check it!"
Profeuor Klllott replied "Dodder
I utually planted with clover, and after
becoming established in the toil, fat
tens its tendrils to th clover, or other
rlants which may be growing. Finally
t lose it attachment to the plant,
and become a true, parasitic plsnt. It
saps the life of the 'hott plant' upon
which It Ilvet, and ir it becomes very
strong in itt growth, will eventually
destroy the hott. To control it, cut
nut the patches of elover where it ap
pear, early In the season, before it ha
formed eed. Bake thl cut elover on,
and burn it before it become dry. Ily
thi mean the seed is prevented from
seeding, and aa th plant itself I de
stroyed, there I little probability of the
dndded growing the following season."
E. K. 8., of Walla Walla, wants to
know how to kill th "morning-glory
weed." He was informed that:
"Th extermination of this weed is
the hardest 'weed problem thai the ex
nerimenl station hat faced The plsnt
it one of the most difficult weedt to
kill, but Hi redeeming feature it that
