B:; Could I mix and use to ad- _ vantage the following: phosphate, clear potash and lime, to be/sown with a grain drill? What proportion should I mix it? For oats, for corn, for * beans, for potatoes? Of 'the two fer- ~ tilizers, potash or phosphate, which - feeds the kernels and which the stem and leaves?' ' : Answer: I would strongly advise you ". not to mix phosphate, potash and lime, because the lime will react on the phosphate, undoing what the fer- tilizer manufacturer has done, In order to make the phosphoric acid of the phosphate rock soluble the manu- facturer has ground the rock and _ treated it with acid, thereby making acid phosphate. If you add lime you will" cause the acid phosphate to go - back to the insoluble form. If you are mixing this material for such crops as oats, corn or beans, I would advise you to mix about 1,250 lbs. of phosphate with 400 lbs: potash and use about 200 lbs: 'of this per acre.

Also, would it spread to high land? Answer: I cannot find any evidence that wild rice has had a bad effect on stock pasturing in a field where it grows. The natural habitat for wild rice of cburse is low-lying, swampy land. It has been known to spread to high land to some extent. P, H.: Is buttermilk good to feed to pigs are four or five months old?

If water is not added to the buttermilk it is considered an exceedingly good feed for hogs, of the product will be 10-10, that is, r Home and Country Where Girls Have Good Times BY MISS K. F.

Aid to Farm Marketing. Besides the recreational value of the! radio is its practical value as an aid] to farm marketing which makes the new. invention of utmost importance. Market quotations, current conditions in various markets, weather reports, crop reports and the like are already being broadcasted at regular inter- vals, Just how the system of disseminat- ing market news by wireless will be of positive benefit--the benefit one can lay his fingers on--is yet to be deter- mined. It will depend largely upon who sends it out and the use farmers make of it. Any system, however, radio or otherwise, which hastens the distribution of accurate, unbiased news of the world's agricultural markets is highly beneficial. 'Through the radio, the sale of farm products can be put on the same basis as commercial busi- ness. The farmer will get from his radio set news as "hot" as that which the business man reads from his ticker. ~The fact that accurate, up-to-the- minute knowledge of current market returns is to he made available to farmers can be turned into substan- For instance, a farmer may have ordered a car for loading his hogs at the siding to be shipped on Corn is a good grain feed Eo doing fhm ra a is d _ear-corn ig fod with § a production and harvesting of crops when an hour's delay in the cutting of hay or the harvesting of grain may mean the loss of many dollars, The same practice can be used in the marketing of perishable fruits and vegetables, grain and Hve stock, With a capable directive agency, an exten. sive radio system and growers who are willing to follow directions, produce can be put on the market so that heavy receipts at one terminal and dearth of receipts at others will be a thing of the past and more uniform prices will be inevitable. Possibilities for the Future. There are changes to be made and and problems to be solved as the radio progresees to perfection. As an aid to the farmers in his problems of farm marketing and as an instrument of lessening rural isolation, its possibili- ties are particularly promising, and undoubtedly the next few years will find farmers everywhere profiting by the material they are receiving via their wireless sets. The 1adio will not supplant either the farm paper or the newspaper as a means of education, information and entertainment. It leaves no perman- ent record which can be recalled fox reference. and has limitations as te the amount of material which can be transmitted, In the fleld of market news it will be restricted largely to quotations and to current conditions which are continually changing. It cannot furnish analyses of factors which bear on the market's future which, after all, constitute the most useful market information to the farmer whose operations compel him to take a long range view. and balk by replacing about one. ird 'of the corn oats. work stock, based on experime would be: To use home-grown feeds.
