ON TAXES APPROVED BY ONTARIO CLUB SNELL ATTENDING HIGHWAY PARLEY BARNYARD MANURE IS CROP BOOSTER Barnyard manure placed In barrels or other watertight con tainers and then covered with water provide a source of liquid "booster” solutions highly valu able in growing farm and home gardens, stated R. E. Brooke, coun ty agent of Malheur county. Some care is necessary in handl ing, however, to prevent damage from too strong concentrations. Only enough material should be put in a barrel so that it may be stirred several times over a per iod of one or two days. After that the liquid is diluted with addition al water until it has a light amber color, when it is safe to use. A pint of this liquid per plant when transplanting will serve as a booster solution, or it may be poured along the side of growing plants to stimulate more rapid growth. For this purpose it may be used at intervals of 10 days to two weeks on growing plants with great benefit, particularly if soils are not very fertile. Leafy vegetables are especially benefitted frcm its use. In some respects these liquid fertilizers made from barnyard manures are more valuable in pro moting growth than are some of the chemical fertilizers, although many of the latter may be used to good advantage. Various formulas for starter or booster solutions are in successful use. They are widely used in trans planting tomatoes, peppers, egg plant, celery, and even with mel ons. I t is important th at chem ical fertilizers used in such solu tions be carefully weighed. When made up by guess, the solutions may be in such proportions as to damage plants or do them little good. One starter or booster solution made from commercial fertilizers and quite commonly used is made as follows: 20 ounces of 11-48-0 ammoniated phosphate, 10 ounces nitrate of potash, if obtainable, (or 10 ounces of sulphate of potash) to 50 gallons of water.
