If they have lain out exposed to the weather they may ' have little ; or no ; potash. To make 2 per cent in a" ton you want 40 pounds of potash,' and that would mean 800 pounds of 5 per cent ashes. But it is not well to mix ashes with cottonseed nieal or any other organic matter carrying nitrogen, as the lime in the ashes may drive off the am monia. The : cottonseed meal may have 7 per cent or 7 pounds in 100 of ammonia,:and 2 per cent will mean 40 pounds of this too. So you can hard ly get a 2t8-2 with the ashes and cot tonseed meal and acid phosphate. The best way to. use the ashes is to spread them broadcast and make a mixture of two-thirds cottonseed meal and one-third acid , phosphate as a fertil izer. This will give you nitrogen and phosphoric acid, and a small amount .of potash in the meal. Tobacco Barn for Potatoes pOULD a log tobacco barn be used J for sweet potato house?" if the barn is tight I can see no rea s on -why it will not make a good place to cure and keep sweet potatoes. I would put the potatoes into crates in the field and pile them in the. middle of the barn, raised off the ground and arranged so that the air can circulate around them. Then start the fire and . raise the heat -to 85 or 90 degrees and keep it up till the. potatoes have dried off " from the sweat they go through after storing. After that 45" to 50 de fgre.es will be. warm . enough, -and to maintain that.,ypu will need fire only in very cold weather. V - Nitrogen in Gowpeas T NOTICE in '"Fertilizing f6r Profit", I by E. E. Miller, that he says in one place that a crop of cowpeas making two tons of hay an acre will have gathered from the atmosphere 130 pounds of nitrogen. In another place he says that a ton of well cured cow pea hay will contain 39 pounds of ni trogen. Therefore two tons would , contain 78 pounds of nitrogen. What makes the difference in these' two estimates?" : ' There is no difference In the" first mm . r . . j& u rii i - The time will come when you r ivish will be a nevy home, Save money now.'. Wachovia Savings Bank Bulletin statement; Mr; Miller meant' all the Now; I" have- se.cur.ed iome : very, .fine nitrogen acquired by .the whole plant, ground bone dust and will use that .in A large part of this'is left in the stub- the spring. But in using manure on a ble and roots, and the estimate for garden always put it there long the hay is I think fully high enough, enough ahead to give it a chance to In fact I have always estimated it at decay and get ready to. feed plants; Gamellia Japonica CAN any of your readers tell me how to root Camellia Japonica?". " It will be useless for you to try to root cuttings of the Camellia Japon ica.

Can we not sow seed of the sweet williams and hardy pinks at the same time and 'plants for spring?"
