Download or read book Potatoes a Money Crop written by George D. Leavens and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Potatoes, a Money Crop: How to Grow, Fertilize, Spray and Harvest Them at a Profit; Containing the Story of a Profitable Potato Crop On many Farms throughout the country, potatoes are the chief money crop, and if properly raised are not only a source of profit themselves, but also improve the land for crops that are to follow. The great value of the potato as one of our staple articles of food, makes economical production of extreme importance. In preparing this booklet, it is not the writer's purpose to over-burden potato growers with superfluous advice. It is hoped rather to summarize for the friends and customers of the Coe-Mortimer Company and for fertilizer users in general, the results of the writers own experience in raising potatoes covering many years of practical farm life, together with the results of his observation of the best practice of prominent growers in various sections. Soils. Potatoes will succeed on a variety of soils, doing best on a medium to light loam. Early crops of potatoes are, however, raised at a great profit on light and sandy soils, while heavy soils will give profitable crops of late potatoes, provided that such soils are well drained. It is, however, useless to attempt to grow potatoes at a profit on wet, heavy and ill-drained soils. Such soils, however, may be rendered suitable for potato growing by a thorough system of drainage and subsequent plowing in of green crops. In general heavy clay soils are unsuitable for potatoes, the tubers being soggy, poorly shaped, and subject to rot. Potatoes as a rule give the largest yields upon new soils; that is land just taken up from grass or clover. This is not true of all conditions, however, as on heavy soils where the sod is extremely tough, the potato crop may be preceded by a crop of corn.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils and Fertilizers It is evident from the preceding example that any thing like an adequate idea of the growth and compo sitiou of plant bodies could not be gained until the composition of air and water was established. The discovery of oxygen by Priestley in 1774, of the composition of water by Cavendish in 1781, and of the r61e which carbon dioxide plays in plant and animal life by De Saussure and others in 1800, formed the nucleus of our present knowledge regarding the sources of matter stored up in plants. It was between 1760 and 1800 that alchemy lost its grip because of advances in knowledge and the way was opened for the development of modern chemistry.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fertilizers in Relation to Soils and Crop Production Most young plants start from a seed, which contains an embryo, or germ, that is extremely rich in albuminoids, fat, phosphates, and potash. The seed also contains a store of food, in the form of starch, fat, etc, intended to nourish the young plant until the roots and leaves are sufficiently developed to gather their own supplies, The future health and vigor of the plant will depend on: (1) the amount of food available to the tiny rootlets sent out by the young plant: (2) the temperature of the soil, (3) an abundance of sunshine, and (4) a sufficient supply of oxygen. The plant requires oxygen for respiration, and it gives of carbon dioxide as a result of the oxidation of its food, that is, it breathes; it gives off water from its leaves, or lungs, it assimilates food, and it even excretes waste material. In all this it is very similar to the animal. But it even goes further, and collects its food from the simple substances, such as carbon dioxide. Ant. Various soluble salts found in the soil, and from these builds up the complex sugars, starches, fat, and albuminoids which are essential for the life processes of the plant and which are the only foods of the animal. It is subject to im provement by selection and breeding, as is the animal, but, unlike the animal, it is entirely dependent upon the supply of food constituents within its reach, and it has no way of drawing attention to its wants, excepting as its appearance may make them known to the careful and trained observer. A clear conception of the fact that an infant plant, like the infant animal, requires warmth, air. Sunshine, and an abundance of easily absorbed food, will greatly aid in under. Standing the conditions under which it will make the best growth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hints on Soils and Fertilizers We have already learned that the soil con tains mainly two classes of materials, humus and mineral elements. We have defined humus as decayed vegetable matter, such as the re mains of plants that were not used by man, but left upon the soil. The elements of a mineral nature are just as essential to the welfare of the plant as the Organic matter, or humus. We will discuss these mineral ele ments from a chemical point of view in our next chapter, but we will now consider them briefly from a phy'sical standpoint.

Download or read book Fertilizers and Their Use Classic Reprint written by Robert Harcourt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fertilizers and Their Use On our comparatively new lands, and in general farm practice where a judicious rotation of crops is followed. And where grain is fed on the farm and the manure properly cared for, it may not be necessary to use commercial fertilizers; but where the nature of the crops grown prevents rotation, and where very little farmyard manure is produced, they may be required. More and more each year it is found that the increased cost of production and the consequent need of producing maximum crops, and the growing demands of the larger towns and cities for garden and fruit products of high quality, are causing market gardeners and fruit growers to consider seriously the advisability of using some form of fertilizer. This has created a demand for information concerning these substances which it has not been easy to fill; for experience has shown that the farmer must posses a wide knowledge of plants, soils and the fertilizers themselves before he can properly use them. To intelligently and economically use fertilizers, it is essential that the farmer understand the needs of the cr0ps, their power to gather the essential plant food constituents from the soil, and the purpose of their growth, i.e., whether the object is to produce an immature plant for early market, or whether maturity is required. He must also know something about the available supply of plant food' tn the soil and the nature of the fertilizer being used. These fertilizers are expensive, and unless they are intelligently applied in conjunction with very thorough cultivation they will not give their best results. They cannot take the place of cultivation; for they are food materials, and can only aid the growth of the plant as they are absorbed by the roots, and these cannot develop fully in a poorly cultivated soil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils and Fertilizers, for Public Schools: A Discussion Upon the Nature and Treatment of Soils and the Value of Fertilizers There has been much ob eet'ion to the teaching of Agriculture in our District Schools, because teachers claim they do not have time to take up an additional subject, when they have so many subjects that are already required, and which must be taught. However, in recent years Agriculture has been coming into its own, and is being taught more and more in the schools. Teachers have begun to realize that any subject which holds the interest and attention of the pupils is worthwhile, and that any sub ect which does not hold their attention is not worthy of a place in our already crowded School course. In order to make Agriculture interesting to the pupil, we must base the work upon real practical problems which he can understand and appreciate. To do this is no small task, and it is a thing which demands a great deal of perseverance and initiative, on the part of teachers In such schools. The more ideas which an author attempts to incorporate into a text book, the more complex his text becomes, and the more difficult it is to follow. Therefore, in this text book we have taken' only a few of the most important conditions and have tried to incorporate them in such a manner that they can be used by the average district or graded school. We have tried further to make the book correct - theoretically and practically. The entire text has been written for boys and girls of the country schools, with these two things in mind, and the success which attends its use presupposes a proper presentation of many minor details, which it would be impossible to include under this cover. Many teachers get the idea that the sub ect of Agriculture as taught in our public schools is a Vocational Sub ect. This is' a mistaken idea, and the teachers should above all bear in mind that we are not making better farmers so much as we are making better men and women who are farmers. Naturally the teaching of Agriculture will make better farmers, and will serve to keep more of our boys on the farm.

Download or read book Phosphate Fertilizers for Hawaiian Soils and Their Availability Classic Reprint written by William Thomas McGeorge and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Phosphate Fertilizers for Hawaiian Soils, and Their Availability It has been shown in previous publications Of this station1 that the local soils are rich in phosphoric acid, but that it is securely locked up in insoluble and unavailable combinations with the highly basic (and probably also with the silicic) soil constituents. Iron and aluminum, which occur in abundance, and lime, which occurs in widely varying amounts, are known to be active in this fixation, and it is highly probable that titanium, which occurs in large amounts in Hawaiian soils, is also an important factor in the fixation. In view of these peculiarities of Hawaiian soils and also of the further fact that the results Of experiments made elsewhere with phosphate fertilizers, have been so contradictory that it is impossible to apply them to Hawaiian conditions, it was deemed important and desirable to. Make a careful study of the solubility of the phosphoric acid naturally occurring in the soils as well as of the behavior of various phosphates when applied to them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pocket Edition, 1928: Brighten the Corner Where You Are With Flowers In preparing the soil, we find the use of well-rotted manure gives the best results. (be sure it is well rotted). It should be plowed or spaded into the soil to a depth of at least 6 inches. In planting in drills, furrow or dig out to about 6 inches deep. Sprinkle on one side of a drill a good potato fertilizer; then rake in, mixing the fertilizer with the soil, until the drill is about 4 inches deep, The potato fertilizer is simply to give the bulbs a good start, and the manure to carry out the further development. Avoid using new manure, as it is high in ammonia, making it very harmful. New manure can be used if spaded or plowed into the ground in the fall. In case you cannot get well-rotted manure, sheep dressing is very good. Many growers use a combination of potato ferti lizer and bone meal, mixed in equal parts. Gladioli can be grown in this way with very good results, but the flowers do not stand up as well, the petals not having as heavy a texture as when grown with manure. The bulbs should be planted at least 4 inches deep, and from 4 to 6 inches apart, to get best results. We plant in double rows, in drills at least two feet apart. Gladioli can be planted in beds, like tulips. In this case we advise planting a mixture of early, mid summer, and late varieties, thus giving a continual bloom. Gladioli grown in a hedge, with dahlias as a back ground, make a beautiful showing. In doing this be sure to leave a space of at least feet between gladioli and dahlias, to prevent any possible shading by the dahlias. Avoid shady places, as gladioli grow best in the open. In case the season is dry a good watering once every ten days or two weeks is very beneficial. Soak the soil to a depth of 6 inches or more. A light watering does more harm than good, as it gives the feeders a tendency to work toward the surface, rather than downward. After a rain, or watering, the soil should be stirred to a depth of 1 to inches, to retain the moisture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
