The theory of tliis practice is sound, butland plaster in itself adds practically nothing to thesoil. When phosphate rock is treated with sulphuricacid to make acid phosphate, about two-thirds by weightof the resulting mjiterial is calciuim sulphate, or landplaster. By adding acid phosphate we are, therefore,using land plaster and increasing the fertilizing valueat the same time. Results obtained at the Ohio Experiment Station showa return of approximately $5 a ton from reinforcedfresh manure, $ from untreated fresh manure, andonly $2 from weathered, yard manure. This means areturn of $ for every 50 lbs. of phosphate thus ap-plied, or gives the phosphate a value of $60 a Another view of the Peony Show held by Rochester, N.
