The Globe on Phosphates and Fertilizer Value
A long discussion answers whether South Carolina rock phosphate is as valuable as fresh bone meal. Experts note untreated rock is less effective, while sulfuric acid treatment boosts value. Farmers weigh insoluble vs soluble phosphates, with field trials showing mixed results favoring insoluble forms in some soils and crops.

Garden Crops and Frost Drought Survival in Early Planting
Considerable loss comes from neglecting prompt start for garden crops. Frost fear delays planting, but drought in summer often causes more injury. Pease roots lettuce prove hardy, corn tolerates slight frost, beans are tender yet occasionally escape frost. Early planting risks loss if frost occurs. better to wait until soil warmth and ensure soil fertility for paying yields.
Garden Notes on Glass House Temperature and Plant Care
Garden notes advise maintaining 40 70 degree ranges under glass for hardy crops like cabbage lettuce radish and stocks while tender plants such as tomatoes peppers and cucumbers need 60 at night and 80 to 90 by day. Frequent airing and careful watering to root depth are urged with bed preparation, seedling hardening, and use of old hotbeds or fresh heat sources for warmth.

Reflections on Corn Raising and Planting Practices
Corn farming can double yields without more fertilizer or land if cultivated properly. Proper soil preparation, deep pulverizing, and level culture are vital. avoid shallow ploughing and damaging roots. Close planting, early but careful cultivation, and appropriate fertilization improve fodder and grain, with trials showing higher yields from dense, carefully timed plantings. cross-planted rows yield robust stalks and better fodder, while deep ploughing during drought damages moisture.

Drill Seeding Gains in Wheat Over Broadcast Methods
The author recalls a long shift from hand sowing to drill seeding in wheat. Early practice used broadcast sowing with harrow or plough, but experiences show drill seeding produced steadier yields and better establishment. Over decades, drill wheat became standard on many farms, improving coverage and leveling the seedbed for better overall production.

Longevity of common garden seeds in storage
Periods for seed vitality vary by species when stored in paper bags or sacks. Cabbage and related greens keep 4 years, cucumbers up to 10 years, melons and squashes 10 years or more, tomatoes about 6 years, lettuce about 8 years, spinach 2 years, peppers 2 years, radishes 8 years, onions 1-2 years, and others range from 1 to 6 years. Testing three seeds before sowing is advised.
Proper Fertilizers and Soil Needs for Crops
The text explains that crop nutrition varies by plant and soil condition, arguing fertilizers mainly supply nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. It notes lime and sulphuric acid are often deficient, magnesia common, and stresses testing soils through observation and experiments to choose the right fertilizer mix for each case.
