oeca yield is closely related to the available phosphoric acid and potash in the s >il Lync continues. In an Orchard Grass fertilization for Seed Production test, conducted at Orange for seven years, yields from unf utilized plots were approximately lialf of those from plots that recei <ed 48 pounds per am each of piosphoric acid and potash. Where either phosphoriac acid or potash vas left out of the fertilizer the > ield was less' than where both wer e supplied. In every Case applicatioij of nitrogen gave increased yield u i Phosphoric a:id-potash mixtures should be uset on orchard grass for seed prod iction in the late summer or ear y fall to stimulate seed-bud form ition. Nitrogen should be app ied irt late \yinter or early spring (before growth starts) to grovr the crop.
Rate of app ication depends on the soil and is fertility, but in general 48 pounds each of phosphoric acid ard potash per acre will be sufficitnt for good yields. Seed yields wil increase with increased use 0 nitrogen to 100 pounds or mor • per acre, if | other fertility constituents art adequate and weather conditions art favorable. ■;.! ■ >: , G. R.

We quoted i he poem abdut Mr. Finney’s turni > too soon.
Mr. Jack sisk of Sperjyville, Va., “(Sperry rillians” always, have prided hemselves on their gardens, especially early and late gardens), brought to the Rappahannock Neivs a turnip that weighed thr« pounds. It was 5 inches in dianerer with a circum•
ference of 18 riches. ; J
A few days after this turnip was put on display in the New* office. Mr. Robert Frazier appeared with one that tipied the scales at 3 pounds 3 oun res. Believe it or not —‘tis true. , 'll . j It was glo >e shaped-NOT the elongated 'kind like the first one he.brought in, and bore no resemblance whatever to a cow turnip 1 ! 1
