To geta good germination of parsnips I find it an advantage to plant the seed in little bunches about four inchfs apart, as a pinch of seed : will force its way, through "more easily than a . single seed, and the bunches are easily thinned. The sal TWELVE THINGS TO DO THIS MONTH S M n 'mi Potash Seldom Needed on Red Clay ; Lands FROM Piedmont Virginia: "I have on hand 1,000 pounds of muriate of . potash; and .1,000 pounds of sulphate of potash, and I would like to know where.it will pay best to use them." I have farmed in your red hills and I know by experience there that for general farm crops you never need to buy potash if you keep the soil well . stocked' with vegetable decay . and lime it once ittjfive years. At present prices i?f or potahj if I were in your , section I would prefer to sell that ton of potash fahd.; invest the money in acid phosphate;, -At the price it nqw commands I do not think that on xyour soil, which has an inexhaustible store of potash, insoluble it is true, but- made available as fast, as plants need it-by proper farming, it will pay to use it unless you may be growing shipping tobacco, and on this it might " pay to use the sulphate. But; I hear i. if that the oowder makers are paying sify is sown in a continuous row and make,them very? late. The .plants" nipping the tap roots."
