com plete tle work of destruction by des troying the leaves the outbreak 14- the worst seen in twenty years and and inspection says indications ore thut the growers will lose most of tho crop on tho 16000 acres sown three or four weeks ago tho turnip acreage throughout the district was thriving and growing well with every indication of a big yield conditions were ideal copious ruins falling when needed and a temperature thai on the uverabe was just high enough to force 1 growth today aero upon acre of tho jplants arc wiped out and those that axo loft are wilted and sickly in several sections

makes tho following sug gestions many farmers are thinking of saw ing fall wheal on tho ground on which flie turnip crop hua been destroyed by the aphis the question has arisen regarding the most economical fertil izer to apply assuming that the ground was manured for the turnips we would advise the uso of ncid phos phate alone at a rate of 300 to 4q0 lbs per acre this fertilizer should be applied ni the time of sowing the wheat preferably by means of the fer tilizer attachment to the grain trlll where- such an attachment is not available tho aoid phosphate should be sown broadcast and worked into the soil previous to sowing the wheat in our experimental work with phos- phatls on fall wheat in 24 counties of this province we obtained 40 per cent more wheat per aero where acid phos phate was used than from the check plot inasmuch as the turnips ground was manured and well cultivated- and hence probably contains sufficient available nitrogen we think it wpuld be more economical to use straight acid phosphate than the more expen sive mixture containing nitrogen improvement committee finances a fine net balance toward the park entrance enterprise the praiseworthy undertaking
