VALUE OF SALT.
The Massachusetts Agricultural Society, after repeated experiments, has come to the decision that “ salt has the property of hastening the maturing of grain crops, that wheat on salted land will ripen six to ten days earlier than on unsalted land, and that it increases the yield from 25 to 50 per cent; that it stiffens the straw, and prevents rust and smut; that it checks the ravages of the chinch bog, and that two barrels per acre will injure no grain crop. The time to sow salt is the spring.”
