Fertilizer saving tips for muck soils at Cornell station
Muck growers can cut costs in 1928 by preserving nitrogen while adjusting fertilizer blends to suit soil type. Newly cleared woody muck needs 0-10-10 or similar low phosphoric acid mixes. sedge-dominated muck requires added nitrogen through 4-8-10 or 4-8-12 analyses. Older muck shows less benefit from phosphoric acid and potash, so nitrogen becomes key. For early crops like onions lettuce and potatoes planted in cold soils, apply at least half the usual amounts of all three elements. Reducing overall fertilizer while boosting nitrogen as a side-dress or switching to nitrogen-rich analyses saves money, with sulfate of ammonia offering cheaper, effective options.

Bermuda Hosts Confederate Great Seal Press Tale
The Bermudian article traces how the great Confederate seal press moved from England to Bermuda with Lieutenant Chapman during the Civil War. After failed attempts to reach Richmond, it stayed at St George's until 1867, then passed to John Samuel Darrell and later to Violet Darrell and Mrs J Roland Kay at Mount Wyndham. The press remains a historic relic tied to Jefferson Davis and the Confederacy.
