80 THE SOUTHEEN" PLANTER [January, SALT MARSH MUD. Will you kindly tell me through your columns if the mud taken from a salt marsh, and from the bed of a creek (such as I could get when the tide is out) would be of any material value. If so, how would it need to be treated for best results, and what elements of plant food would it be apt to contain. J. H. JORDAN. Mathews Co., Va. We doubt much whether this mud would be of value sufficient to pay for the cost of securing it. If it had much decayed vegetable matter in it, it might be worth securing, even then, before it could be beneficially used, it would require to be weathered for a year by spreading it out to expose it to the action ot the air and sun, and would need to have lime mixed with it to correct acidity. All water soaked deposits are usually strongly acid and therefore deleterious to plant growth.—Ed. OATS AND VETCH FOR HAY. Would like to ask—since it is too late to seed oats and vetch winter varieties, can they be successfully seeded in the spring to be cut for hay and the same land be planted to corn? If so, what time should they be seeded and when cut? A. H. JAMES. Lancaster Co., Va. You can sow oats and hairy vetch "m. February or March and get a crop to cut for hay in May or June and follow this with corn. Sow one bushel of oats and twenty-five pounds of Thairy vetch seed per acre. The hairy vetch is best seeded in the fall, but one of our subscribers tried the crop sown in February or March and made a. complete success.—Ed. FERTILIZER FOR CORN. Y have about eight acres in crimson clover that I wish to turn down for corn next spring. The land is strong enough to grow good, round Irish potatoes. Should I use fertilizer on the clover? If so, what kind and how much per acre should I use, and what time should I use it—this fall or next spring? A. T. TIGNAL. It would very probably help you to secure a heavier crop of corn if you applied 200 pounds of acid phosphate per acre after turning down the clover Read the article in this issue by Dr Stubbs, in which he explains how he is getting up his land in Gloucester county, Virginia, and securing good crops. He found his land very deficient in available phosphoric acid and we expect yours Is very much in the same condition.—Ed.
