GREETINGS OF THE NEW YEAR!

May 1929 bring you the most bountiful crops and the best
markets you ever saw. Still more precious, may it serve you and
yours with a full measure of good health.

■:o:-

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

During the past year this publication has been sent without
charge to a number of growers who are not paid members of the
Pennsylvania Vegetable Growers' Association. This has been done
in the hope that attendance at the annual meetings and the number
of members would be increased thereby to a number more truly
representative of Pennsylvania's great vegetable growing industry.
However, this Association is financially unable to continue such a
policy indefinitely and this will be the last copy of the "NEWS'' you
will receive unless you pay dues for 1929. The amount of these
will be fixed at not more than two dollars during the meetings at
Harrisburg, January 22d. If you are not there, the Secretary will
mail you a postcard advising correct amount to remit if you wish
to continue to receive the "NEWS" and to become a membei- of the
Pennsylvania Vegetable Growers' Association for 1929.

A REAL BANQUET

There is actually going to be a Vegetable Growers* Banquet.
It has been scheduled for 5:15 P. M. Tuesday, January 22d, in the
Ball Room of the Penn Harris Hotel. This brings the banquet at a
meal hour. Thus the expense of the customary evening meal may be
credited towards one's banquet ticket. Moreover, many vegetable
growers also are active iiKorganizations concerned with dairy cattle,
swine, potatoes, fruit, etc. Most of these associations have their
dinners Wednesday, which eliminate confliction with our time. An
able entertainer and song leader has been secured without expense

rv

U

to the association. There will be no set speeches— just an informal
hour or two of good fellowship and fun.

The chef promises an eye opener (more properly a mouth
opener) of a banquet with a half chicken per man. But we should
know at once about how many to expect. An addressed post card
is enclosed. Whether or not you expect to come, please fill out the
card and mail today. Indicate how many tickets you will want.
Your friends and members of your family are welcome.

The Penn Harris was finally selected after thirty members had
been asked to vote in favor either of going there at two and a half
a plate, or to another place at a dollar and a half. Thirteen replied
and of these eleven favored the Penn Harris.

TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS PREMIUMS

For Displays of Vegetables

Look over the list below carefully. It is a hard time of year to
make up a vegetable exhibit but surely you can find something around
the place to make at least one entry. If you are not coming in person,
ship your exhibit by express to arrive not later than early Tuesday
morning, January 22d. Address to Walter B. Nissley, Vegetable Ex-
hibit, 50 South Cameron St., Harrisburg, Pa. This vegetable show
can be made a success and must be made a success. Note that most
of the classes are for commercial packages, which will make it very
easy to prepare and ship your exhibition material.

HOW THE DOLLAR DUES HAVE WORKED

All who were at the meetings last January will remember that
dues were reduced to $1.00 for a period of a year. This was an ex-
periment to determine whether or not a larger membership could be
secured with lower dues. Previously dues had been two dollars.
Promptly at 1:30 P. M., January 22, in the opening business session,
action will be taken to make this permanent, or to go back to the
previous plan. In order that you may do some thinking in advance,
here is how it worked:

1926 — 41 Memberships @ $2.00 $82.00

1927—13 Memberships @ $2.00 $26.00

1928—81 Memberships @ 1.00 $81.00

THE VEGETABLE EXHIBIT

January is a difficult month in which to secure showings of
vegetables, yet this new feature brought forth a surprising number
of mostly worthy exhibits. Next year an even larger display should
be made. Incidentally, those who set up the exhibits were swamped
at the last minute and urge everyone to be earlier next time. Wm.
Wenker of Bustleton took the twenty-five dollar prize for best gen-
eral display of vegetables and captured first place with beets. Frank
Stewart of Harrisburg led with radishes. In mushrooms Walter B.
Evans, of Kelton, took first place in whites and browns, while Walter
W. Maule classed highest with buttons. With rutabagas Wm. Stoker,
of Byberry, led, A. D. Aburger, Bustleton, second. Turnips, Chas.
Humphreys, Torresdale, first; Wm. Wenker, second. Carrots, Yeagle
Bros., first; Wm. Wenker, second. Savoy cabbage, Yeagle Bros.
Cabbage, G. E. Smith, Bethlehem, first. Onions, Espenshade & Sons
Harrisburg, first. Celery, (yellow) in close competition, H. N. Dudley,
Bustleton, T. H. Feming, Andalusia, and Wm. Wenker, placed in the
order named. Celery (green) first place to T. H. Fleming, second
to A. H. Mende & Son, and third to W. L. Beshore, Mt. Wolf.

THE BANQUET

The Vegetable Growers* Banquet, an innovation, did not "Faw
down go boom". Seventy-five sat down together in the Ball Room of
the Penn Harris and the fact that not one speech was made didn't
hurt a bit. The Morrison's Cove (Blair county) Vocational High
S-chool orchestra kept things lively, songs were sung and Prof.
"Jack" White of State College and others "got off" some stories,
real stories!

REPORT OF JANUARY MEETINGS

It is too bad space does not permit full report of all the excellent
talks that were delivered. About all that can be done is to report
the "high lights", at least until we can boost our membership to a
figure where funds will be available to publish detailed proceedings.

:o:

Dr. E. L. Nixon emphasized four essentials for successful veg-
etable production: good seed, abundant humus, leaf protection (spray-
ing) and vision (to see details and opportunity). The three elements
in profitable spraying are right material, correct manner of appli-
cation and timely application. The necessity of spraying at a pres-
sure of at least 250 pounds was stressed. This is necesary to pen-
etrate and cover all leaf surfaces in heavy foliage crops such as celery.

An abstract of Prof. J. W. White's talk on Nitrogen and Organic
Matter Problems in Vegetable Production follows:

"Successful vegetable production depends upon the maintenance

- ■

of a liberal supply of soil organic matter and available plant food
throughout the growing season. The excessive decay of organic
matter brought about each year as the result of intensive soil cultiva-
tion together with, the nitrogen removed by crops and lost in drain-
age waters lead to rapid depletion of the fertility of the soil. Perhaps
the most serious problem that confronts the vegetable grower today
is that of replenishing economically the organic matter and nitrogen
lost from the soil and also to find means of conserving that left at
the end of each growing season. The fast diminishing supply of
stable manure has intensified the problem and led to the use of green
manure crops as a means of checking the loss of nitrogen by drain-
age and replenishing the stock of organic matter lost in the process
of decay. A study of the relative value of various green manure
crops as sources of organic matter and as a means of nitrogen con-
servation is therefore of utmost importance to the producers of veg-
etable crops. The vegetable farmer who follows a systematic practice
of growing cover crops as a source will no longer worry about the
diminishing supply of animal manure upon which he has so long
depended."

Prof. R. A. Dutcher of the Pennsylvania State College presented
vegetable growers with some real selling points. He called attention
to the fact that vegetables are peculiarly valuable in the diet for the
basic mineral salts which they contain, for vitamins and for the bulk
which they furnish. The iron contained in vegetables is very, very
valuable because it is often present along with traces of copper,
which greatly assist the system in assimilating iron into the blood.
The basic minerals or ash which vegetables contain are especially
valuable in keeping the body fluids somewhat neutral as nature in-
tended rather than in a state of acidosis which some foods encourage
and which results in colds and so forth.

MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE

Here is something from last year's meetings that may prove
of use in the near future. Mexican bean beetle can best be controlled
by applications of stomach poisons. Calcium arsenate treatment is
recommended by the State College entomologists. Calcium arsenate,
one pound; dusting sulphur, one pound, and hydrated lime, four
pounds, compose one of the dusts. Another is applied at the rate
of one pound of calcium arsenate and nine pounds of hydrated lime.
A spray can be used at the rate of three-fourths pound of calcium
arsenate, one and one-half pounds of hydrated lime, and fifty gallons
of water, or three-fourths ounce of calcium arsenate, one and one-
half ounce of hydrated lime, and three gallons of water. Whether
dust or liquid spray is used, the material must be directed toward the
under sides of the bean leaves, where the insect feeds mainly.

A number of pointers from the talk of Prof. P. W. Geise, of the
University of Maryland, follow:

"To minimize loss fro-m anthracnose or pod spot insist on bean
seed grown at high altitudesi in the west.

"Virginia Blight or Yellows Resistant Savoy Spinach is best
for fall and winter growth. Not only is it more resistant to disease
but it seems to be more hardy than standard Savoy.

"Blocking tomato plants is a great advantage for the early crop.
That is, perhaps ten days before planting time, a knife is run between
the rows of plants in one direction. A few days later cuts are made
at right angles, thus causing the formation of a dense root system
in a block of soil which goes to the field with each plant".

Mr. Harry S. Brackbill told of the satisfactory business which
has grown up at his roadside market. He believes numbers of
growers are overlooking remarkablbe opportunities right at their
doors. Success is dependant upon selling only absolutely fresh pro-
ducts that are sure to give satisfaction. Cleanliness, courtesy and
dependable supply seem to be most important factors. It is repeat
customers, rather than occasional buyers that have made Mr. Brack-
biirs business possible.

Dr. J. E. Knott of State CJollege called attention to the fact
that the extra early sweet com varities, such as Burpee, require
high fertility to make a large proportion of first quality ears. In
variety work at the college the Riverside strain of Sweet Spanish
was more uniform and satisfactory than others of the Spanish group,
such as Prizetaker, Denia, and Valencia. In the trials this year Ford-
hook and Matchless Spring were the earliest cauliflower strains.
The latter matured over a shorter period. A number of new strains
have been introduced in 1929, and these are now being grown for
study.

In discussing celery cold storage Mr. H. N. Dudley of Bustle-
ton emphasized the necessity of having good celery, not blighted to
begin with. It should b0 rushed to storage in order to prevent heat-
ing in the crate. It should be blanched but not over blanched. Green
celery blanches practically none in cold storage and when put in must
be blanched about as much as the market prefers. Celery is packed
fairly tight in the crates and these are spaced, so that there are four
inches of clear space all around every crate. Loose leaves that ex-
tend through the slats should be trimmed flush to provide free air
circulation. Temperatures must be kept below 34 or 35 degrees F.
to avoid decay and 30 to 31 degrees F. is not too low if the room is
not excessively damp. Good celery properly stored under correct
conditions will keep for months in first class condition.

GET THE WEEDS

Studies at a considerable number of Experiment Stations on
the benefits of cultivation, and particularly that at Cornell on vege-
table crops, indicate that in general if the weeds are killed we need
not worry about keeping a mulch on top of the soil to conserve
moisture.

Most crops spread out their roots so that little water escapes
upward between the rows. Celery, when spaced three feet apart, does
not fill the soil with roots and so is likely to be benefitted by a
slight mulch. After the surface layer is dry little additional water
can escape whether the layer is dry and loose as in a mulch or dry
and compact as in a slight crust.

Cultivating too soon after a rain will throw the moist soil up
on tap where water will be lost instead of saved. Cultivating too
deep will also bring up moist soil, resulting in loss of water.

The upper six to twelve inches of soil is the area of greatest
fertility and there are many fine feeding roots in this zone. Deep
cultivation prunes these off, and since it is liable to dry out the soil,
it means that the roots will not make as much growth there as is
wanted, and the crop suffers. If the seed bed is properly prepared
before seeding, dep cultivation is usually unnecessary.

Cultivate often enough to destroy the weeds. Do this while they
are young, and then shallow cultivation by the use of blades will
get rid of them without injury to the roots. If there are no weeds
and the surface of the soil is dry, further cultivation is an unjusti-
fied expense. PROF. J. E. KNOTT, State College.

:o:-

FERTILIZING VEGETABLE CROPS

Commercial fertilizers are an essential part of the vegetable
grower's program, whether he has a supply of barnyard manure or
not. Few commercial gardeners have a sufficient supply of manure,
and few crops do so well on manure alone that they will not do a
little better if commercial fertilizers are added.

Fertilizer experiments on early cabbage, early potatoes, and
tomatoes have been in progress at the Pennsylvania State College
since 1917. The first crop is an exam.ple of a leaf crop which is
planted as soon as the soil can be prepared; the second is a tuber
crop maturing in midseason; the third is a fruit crop planted after
the soil is warm, and taking advantage of the rest of the growing
season. While one is not justified in drawing conclusions for other
crops from the results on these three, yet some hints may be found
in the response of these crops to various fertilizers. The conclusions
on the given crops are applicable for soils similar to the one on which
these experiments were conducted.

The value of complete fertilizer is shown in the experiments.

»

except for potatoes, nitrogen in readily available form was profitable.
It increased both the early and the total yields of cabbage, and the
early yield of tomatoes. Phosphorus and potash increased the early
and total yields of all crops. The largest gains were for phosphorus,
even for the heaviest applications in the experiment. Manure increased
the yields of tomatoes and potatoes, but not of cabbage, as compared
to commercial fertilizers.

The solidity of cabbage heads and the canning quality of tomatoes
were not affected by different commercial fertilizers. Heavy appli-
cations of manure lowered the flavor and acidity of the tomatoes
slightly, but did not affect the quality of cabbage.

The gain for manure on tomatoes was greater when the rainfall
was heavy in the early part of the season.

Dividing the application of nitrogen did not increase yields of
any crop in the experiment. The chief benefit of nitrogen seemed to
come very early in the season, and consquently a plentiful supply at
first was better than repeated smaller applications.

The various facts indicate that an early crop cannot utilize manure
as a source of plant food so well as crops requiring a longer season.
Readily available crops on medium to heavy upland soils, applications
of complete fertilizer up to 1000 pounds or more to the acre, of a
4-12-4 or 4-16-4 mixture, will be profitable. The nitrogen may be
reduced or omitted for midseason or late crops, especially if a cover
cro-p or other organic matter has been plowed under.

Crops on light to medium soils will likely need more nitrogen and
potash than they required on the heavy silt loam and clay loam in the
experiments. The phosphorus may be relatively less. Half a ton or
more of 4-8-4 or 5-10-5 mixture would be a good treatment for early
crops, while 3-12-6 might be better for midseason or late crops.

Calcium nitrate and cyanamid have been as good as nitrate of
soda for all crops, while tankage, dried blood, and sulphate of am-
monia have not. The comparisons were on an equal nitrogen rather
than an equal cost basis. Superphosphate is the best carrier of phos-
phorus. There is no difference between muriate and sulphate of
.potash, except in price, which is in favor of the former.
