Hewitt Will it Pay to use Gypsum. [From a New York Agricultural paper.] Practical farmers are about equally divided in regard to the real value of sulphate of lime, or gypsum, known in commerce as land plaster. No one question connected with agricultural science has been so ably discussed as this, and yet the question is not settled. Dr. Franklin first called attention in this country to its fertilizing properties, and the farmers in the Eastern States immediately commenced using it. The Norwalk (Coun.) Gazette, published in 1838, states that "this substance has been successfully used for over forty years, regularly adding to the fertility of the soil. Here and there a farmer would pronounce against it. Nevertheless, those who used it, not as a substitute for other manures, but to render them more effective, were satisfied of its value. Such farmers were careful to return to the soil more than they took from it by using it to produce a luxuriant growth of clover and plowing it under." The cause of the trouble with those who found fault with this fertilizer was that they thought they could sell all their hay and straw and still keep up the fertility of the soil by buying a ton or two of plaster each year. Herein they failed. Plants require a great many elements for their successful growth; whereas, gypsum, so far as known, only furnishes sulphur, oxygen and lime. Forty years ago it was found to be most effective on sandy or gravelly soils, or those naturally or artificially underdrained. It is now generally agreed that it should not be applied to wet soils. To produce the best effect, there should be a good supply of vegetable matter in the soil, for it has been demonstrated that gypsum not only fixes or absorbs ammonia from the atmosphere, but decomposes vegetable matter. Gypsum, like lime, serves to increase the soluble plant food, and thus is an important factor in increasing the growth of clover. Corn or other crops on clover sod are much more benefited by gypsum than on timothy or blue grass sod. Clover demands the use of gypsum.

We solicit the patronage of our readers. Limes are worth from three-fifths to four-fifths of a cent apiece in the San Francisco market. A San Francisco dispatch says: Thomas Dickerson, a farmer of Norwalk, Los Angeles county, has filed his petition in bankruptcy. Liabilities, $13,406; assets, $4,-058. Mr. Moerenhout, French Consul in Los Angeles, has asked his government to relieve him from duty, as he desires to remove with his family to Central France. The Express says that a double wedding took place in the Spadra school house last Sunday evening, the high contracting parties being Mr. Howard Hunter and Miss Louisa Fryer for one couple and Mr. Hy.Fryer and Miss Ella Arnett for the other. Mr. Mark Hopkins, Secretary and Treasurer of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, died at Yuma, at 3:30 o'clock on Wednesday. Applied to wet soils... To produce the best effect, there should be a good supply of vegetable matter in the soil, for it has been demonstrated that gypsum not only fixes or absorbs ammonia from the atmosphere, but decomposes vegetable matter. Gypsum, like lime, serves to increase the soluble plant food, and thus is an important factor in increasing the growth of clover. Corn or other crops on clover sod are much more benefited by gypsum than on timothy or blue grass sod. Clover demands the use of gypsum. John Johnston, one of the best American farmers, who lives not far from the celebrated Cayuga gypsum beds of western New York, says, that rather do without it he would pay $40 per ton for it. The Hon. Geo.Geddes, speaking of the benefits of a clover sod in the Tribune of March 18, 1874, says: "that a field of his has been cropped continuously for seventy-four years, with no other manure than its own crop of clover turned under every fifth year, such clover having been abundantly treated with gypsum for more than fifty years. Also, that notwithstanding large crops of wheat, corn, oats and barley had in a five years' rotation been grown, the land had continued to grow better." An Indiana correspondent writes us that he had "one hundred acres of stiff clay which was in an exhausted state from continued cropping of wheat and exhaustive power of weeds, and by being plowed when wet during a period of twenty years. He kept it in grass, clover and wheat, adding a little manure and applying gypsum annually until a crop of thirty-five bushels of wheat to the acre was the result." He also says: "Plastered clover, plowed under, as a green crop, is the best and cheapest preparation for wheat; and the clover roots, where plaster was used, penetrated the subsoil to a depth of three feet, or more." Another correspondent writes us from southern Illinois as follows: "I find gypsum a profitable investment, and regard it as one of the best aids in conjunction with growing clover, to restore old and worn out lands that we have. I sow a barrel of it, about three hundred pounds to the acre, as early in the spring as possible. The cost, delivered here, is about $3 a barrel. Before beginning to use gypsum, the yield of corn was twenty-five bushels to the acre. It is now over sixty. I let my land lie in clover three years. I cut the first crops of the second year's growth for hay when in blossom, and the second crop later in the season for cloverseed. The third season I pasture the field, and break it up after harvest and sow in wheat. Each season the field receives its regular amount of gypsum in the spring." A Wisconsin farmer states that he sowed one and a half bushels of gypsum per acre on the field as late as the 20th of May, and increased the yield fully three times what it was on an adjoining field, the circumstances being similar. Where he applied a heaping tablespoonful of gypsum to corn in the hill, the spot where it was applied could be seen in a crop of wheat which followed. It must be remembered that land plaster for fertilizing purposes is not the plaster of Paris of commerce, but is rock broken in pieces and ground as finely as flour. There are now over three hundred mills in this country, and the value of ground gypsum sold annually is between two and three millions of dollars. The most extensive deposits are in Western New York, near San Francisco. Including the one, two and three lands are naturally cultivated to produce crops Mr. Moerenhout, French Consul in Los Angeles, has asked his government to relieve him from duty, as he desires to remove with his family to Central France. The Express says that a double wedding took place in the Spadra school house last Sunday evening, the high contracting parties being Mr. Howard Hunter and Miss Louisa Fryer for one couple and Mr. Hy. Fryer and Miss Ella Arnett for the other. Mr. Mark Hopkins, Secretary and Treasurer of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, died at Yuma, at 3:30 o'clock on Friday morning. For the past few months he has been a sufferer from rheumatism, and his trip to Yuma was taken by medical advice. His death was rather unexpected. A meeting of citizens was held in Los Angeles on Saturday to consider the best means of encouraging and protecting home industries. The following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that all the people of our city and county should patronize home production in all cases where it can be done without serious loss. Resolved, That a Committee of five be appointed to report a programme for carrying out the sense of this meeting and that they report at the next citizen's meeting. Messrs. B. L. Peel, H. D. Barrows, John S. Griffin, Wm. H. Moore and D. Rivira were appointed said Committee by the Chair. A Mutual Protective Organization has been organized at Vernon district, for protection against horse thieves. Chicago, March 30.—A Times Washington special says: The House Committee on the Electoral Count has agreed to report in favor of a constitutional amendment fixing the tenure of the Presidential office at six years and declaring him ineligible for re-election. The Committee also voted on the proposition to abolish the Electoral College and substitute for it a system of pro-rating the popular vote with the number of Senators. It failed by a tie vote, but it is thought that an absent member of the Committee would favor this proposition. The general features of the report agreed on are what is known as the Buckalew plan, originated by Representative Buckalew of Pennsylvania. A Wisconsin farmer states that he sowed one and a half bushels of gypsum per acre on the field as late as the 20th of May, and increased the yield fully three times what it was on an adjoining field, the circumstances being similar. Where he applied a heaping tablespoonful of gypsum to corn in the hill, the spot where it was applied could be seen in a crop of wheat which followed. It must be remembered that land plaster for fertilizing purposes is not the plaster of Paris of commerce, but is rock broken in pieces and ground as finely as flour. There are now over three hundred mills in this country, and the value of ground gypsum sold annually is between two and three millions of dollars. The most extensive deposits are in Western New York, near Sandusky, Ohio, Grand Rapids, Michigan; Fort Dodge, Iowa, and in Saline county, Kansas. There are many more deposits which are not yet worked. In the foregoing statements, more than the necessary quantity needed per acre has been used. Sixty to one hundred pounds per acre is all that will be likely to be assimilated by the wheat or clover plants in ordinary seasons. It should, however, be sown by the last of February, or at all events, by the first of April, so that the rains will in part dissolve it. It should be sown broad-cast, in the morning or evening, upon the dew or upon a light fall of snow, when the weather is calm. It does not follow that because one hundred pounds of gypsum will produce ten times that weight in clover, that it would pay to increase the quantity sown per acre. The cost at the gypsum beds should not exceed $3.50 per ton. Freight to Cincinnati, Louisville and St. Louis would probably be about $55 per car load of ten tons. It costs, when put up in barrels, about twenty cents per hundred pounds more than when sent in bulk. Fred. W. Athearn, Justice of the Peace Real Estate and Insurance Agent.
