I find on manuring the ground thai I have apph.il salt lo slrawberrirs at the rale of thirteen and a half bushels to the acre. I did this early in the season to kill the beetles, and the strawberries Were not injured. The cut worms were doing great damage lo my asparagus beds, eating into l he emwns of the plants, and I applied salt at the rate of twenty bushels to the. acre. I consider con-sider salt as 11 perfect remedy against nianv injurious inserts us well as an excellent manure for the land. Pra-rie Pra-rie Farmer. |
