THE CREAM MARKET We pays to fertilize potatoes liber-
koax mmnrs that some are tell
bug that the cream market is
gone, is "busted." This is not
true. The market is strong.
The last thing that the cream
ery manager asked ua the other
day was about the increase that
could be expected in the a
mount of cream that would be
sent them from
summer.
The Biltmore people want all
the cream that Madison will
produce and are willing and
will pay well for it. The price
paid depends upon the New
York market for extras scoring
32 or better. This gives us one
f thebest if not the best mar
ket in the state for cream.

IICK YOUR FERTILIZER
Last week we endeavored to
.give an idea as to what was
necessary if one chose his fer
tilizer for the best results. Wc
also said something about the
fertilizer for grass and small
grains. Many farmers are find
ing that it pays to use a com
plete fertilizer on these crops
instead of the acid phosphate
or as it is now called, super
phosphate. It is becoming a
recognized fact that more po
. lash is needed by the plants
. than is found in a readily avail
able form in most soils. Where
the amount of nitrogen is suffi
cient fertilizer containing phos
phorous and potash with no ni-
, trogen can be used to aavan

not any too much on ground

sections of the East Coast they
use 2,000 and even 3,000 lbs. to
the acre with profit. They find
that, when thev keen their soil
full of humus, vegetable matter
they can increase tne amount

use.
The kind of potash should be
considered. The potash in the
commercial fertilizers comes
from 3 or 4 different source1).
There is a muriate of potash, a
sulphate of potash, a sulphate
of potash magnesia, and wnat
is known as manure salts. The
last is very commonly used. It
is not the best, however. For
potatoes it is probably well to
divide the DOtash SO that half
will come from the muriate and
half from the sulphate. If only
one source is used get the sul
phate of potash.
Corn is another crop that
manv farmers are in the habit
of growing and depending up
on the residue ol the lertil.zer
given iormer crops, lhis is
wrong again. Corn is a heavy
feeder. It needs a great deal of
nitrogen, it must have phospho
rous to form the grain, and
nearly all soils will benefit by
the use of some potash. It will
pay to use the fertilizer liberal
ly. Do not use less than 300 lbs.
to the acre and it will be found
nrofitahle on cood soils, soils
full of humus, to use as much as
400, 500, or 600 lbs. to the acre.
