State College Answers v
Timely Farm Questions
Q. How much fertilizer should J
use in my home garden?
A. On the average soils, fertilizer
may be broadcast at the rate of
2.QO0 pounds to the acre, but if ap
plied in the furrow, the applications
should' not be greater than 1,000
pounds to the acre. Heavier appli
cations may cause serious damage
to the crops. If more fertilizer
seems necessary, apply it in the
form of a side-dressing after the
crops have become established.
Side-dressings with readily avail
able nitrogen fertilizers are often
necessary, especially with leafy veg
etables such as cabbage, lettuce,
kale, and spinach, but excessive ap
plications should not be made. Two
moderate applications will pjve bet
ter results when the fertilizer is
applied in this way.
Q. Does it pay to mate purebred
birds, to mongrel hens?
A. While this is quite a common
practice in small farm flocks, the
results are usually questionable a?
the mongrel hens are usually so
cross bred or inbred that it is dif
ficult to build good qualities in
them. The best method is not to
mate the mongrel birds". If thev
.are ( good layers it might be well
to keep, them for egg production,
but the new flock should be start
ed with purebred baby chicks.' As
the old hens fall off in produc
tion they should ibe sold or used at
ome as food. All egirs from this
flock should be sold for consump-'
tion and not for hatching purposes
Q. What feed is necessary for .a
dairy cow when she is dry?
A. If plenty of pasture is avail
able and the animal is in good
flesh no other feed is necessarv
other than free access to a suit
able mineral mixture. If the cow i?
in poor flesh or the pasture is

short then the animal should have
enough concentrates to put her in
good flesh before freshening. All
high protein grains and most of
the corn should be removed from
the grain ration about two weeks
before, freshening. A good mixture
to feed during, this period is com
posed of equal parts of wheat bran
and ground oats. This ration is
slightly laxative and , many herds
men give the cow one pound of
salts a day or two before she i?
due to freshen.
Arey Gives Best Tims
For Seeding Pastures
Pasture-seeding time is once more
at hand, John A. Arey, extension
dairy Specialist at State college, is
reminding farmers.
Spring seeding , of permanent pas
tures should be completed by
March 1 in. tht-: coastal plain aim
piedmont areas, and by March 15
in the mountain counties.
If pastures are started after
those dates, Arey said, they may
not be entirely successful, since the
delicate plants from late seedings
do not have time to establish their
root, systems before. the dry, hot
weather of summer begins. There
fore, many are likely to perish trom
lack of moisture.
Proper seed-bed preparation is
one of' the most important steps in
developing a good pasture. The
seed-bed should be pulverized to a
depth of two or , three inches, but
the " portion below '' should be left
firm. This can usually be accom
plished with a disc harrow. Too
deep cultivation should be avoided.
In producing good stands, ferti
lizer and lime play important parts.
An application of manure evenly
distributed just after the seed are
sown is recommended. However, if
manure is not available, 300 to 400
pounds of a high grade fertilizer
should be applied at planting time.
On sandy soils 4-8-4 is recommend
ed and on the heaviest clay soils
4-12-4 is generally used. '
These pasture sods should con-!
tain a large percentage of legume
plants. Since these will not grow
well unless the soil is sweet, an ap
plication of a ton of ground lime
stone per acre should be used for
slightly acid soils. .
Arey recommends heavy seedings
to secure a good sod. Thirty to 40
pounds of seed per acre bring best
results.
Flower Gardens Add
To Beauty Of Home
The appearance of bright new
seed catalogs has set the home
gardener dreaming of summer
flower gardens, masses of color and
fragrance. '
Before making selections, there
are several points the flower lover
should keep in mind, declares J.
G. Weaver, floriculturist at State
college.
Too many of the new novelties or
so-called "All-American" selections
should be avoided until they have
been , tested locally. The gardener
who likes to experiment should buy
only a small package of these seed.
However, a few that can be rec
ommended are cosmos "Sensation
Pinkie." chrysanthemum - flowered
merigold, and petunia "salmon su
preme." If these varieties are suc-
cessful, they can be recommended
to neighbors.
One of the most important things
to . avoid is that of buying mixtures
of seed. If the gardener wants pink
zinnias, the variety known as Ex
quisite should be purchased. The
person who buys mixed seed gets
many of the off-colors and poor
typed flowers.
For cut flowers, Weaver recom
mends zinnias, marigolds, asters,
cosmos, snapdracons. scabiosas. trail-
lardias, and tithonias. Wilt resistant
asters and rust resistant snapdrag
ons can be purchased.
If fragrance or odor in the gard
en is desired, the floriculturist sug
gests ageratum, marigold, lieliotrope,
mignonette, nasturtium, stocks
sweet peas, and double petunias.
Among the best border or edgin;
plants . are dwarf petunias, Ton
Thumb snapdragons, nasturtiums
phlox drummondi, verbenas, or
dwarf marigolds.
