I COMPOSTS vs. COMMERCIAL
FERTILIZER—,SOIL TESTS OF
FERTILIZERS 1880.
The season is at hand for preparing
I -composts for corn and cotton. If we had
I a lingering doubt of the great value of
I the compost of cotton seed, stable ma
| nure and ecid phosphate, and its super
I iority over the high-priced ammoniated
t fertilizers sold in market, that doubt
I would be removed by reading the Re
If ports of soil tests of fertilizer* that are
annually competed and published by the
Commissioner oi Agriculture. In the
Report for 1880, ciioular 14 recently is
sued, the several experimenter*, many
of whom have been testing fertilizers
and composts for the Department for
several years past, are almost unanimous
in the opinion that a compost, such as
we have alluded to, is superior in effect
iveness and cheapness.
Our attention was at once arrested by
an experiment by Mr. Elijah Belleflow
er, of Dawson, Ga. He used in competi
tion with several brands of fertilizers a
-compost made according to “Blacks pat
ent formula” to which we have alluded
before. The result well illustrates the
folly of expecting paying results ftom
the use of such nostrums. In thjs case
Mr. Belleflowerapplied at the rate of 200
lbs. per acre, each of Blacks patent com
pos', Kainet compost (700 lb*. col ton
seed, 1000 lbs. sheep lot manure, 100 lb*,
-common salt and 100 lbs. Kainet), aud
several brands of commercial fertilizers.
Without manure, the land made 410 lbs.
seed cotton per acre; Kainet compost,
445 lbs. Blacks patent, 647; Sea Island
guano, 857; Les'er Bro’s. Standard Bone.
1,750; and Colgate Manure, 1,050. Os
this experiment, the Commissioner
says:
“It is not a little remarkable that far
mers will purchase patent formulae for
composts when they can get better ones
free of charge. The results in Mr, Bell
flower’s experiment are not very strong
endorsements of the formulae used by
him in composting. The purchase of
such patents, and of trees from peddlers,
illustrates tiie disposition of our people
to be humbugged.”
We would gladly publish, if space per
mitted, several of the tabulated results
oi experiments, and comments of the ex
perimenters. The circular containing
them, may be had on application to the
Commissioner of Agriculture. It will
well repay any farmer who expects to
buy fertilizing materials, to read and
study this little pamphlet. It would
have been much more interesting and
instructive if the prices of the fertilizers
used or cost of each application per acre
had been given, together with the calcu
lated percent, increase and the per cent
profit upon the investment. A formal
statement of the result of an experiment
of this kind is very incomplete without
columns showing these features.
The experimenters very generally agree
in opinion that commercial fertilizers
pay, especially when used on land
abounding in vegetable mat'er, or on
rich land. Several remarked upon the
advantage of applying them on stubble
land. While we heartily approve of the
compostingsystem, we do not condemn
the liberal yet judicious application of
bought fertilizers. Very few farms will
supply material for enough compost ma
nure to apply to all the crops planted.
But we would caution our readers to be
ware of patent secret formulas. As a rule
the sole object of the vendors of such re
cipes is to moke money for themselves. If
the formula is a good one, it will gener
ally be found to be an old one. Patent
secrets are generally humbugs.
•CHECKING COTTON—AN IN-
QUIRY.
Editor Farmers’ Index: Please let
your readers know how far apart -you
dropped your cotton seed, when bunch
ing the seed at intervals without regard
to checks. I wish to make the experi
ment this Spring, and I have no doubt
many others would profit by your expe
rience. The “chopping out of cotton”
and “bringing it to a stand” is an item
in its culture, and anything that will
lessen the labor and expense will be a
blessing to onr country. S. H.
Beech Grove, Ala.
ANSWER.
In reply, we would remark that our
experience (alluded to) in planting, and
cultivating cotton by “bunching the seed
at intervals” was confined chiefly to the
hill method, laying off both wavs, as we
had all level land. But we have frequent
ly planted small areas by dropping the
seed, six or eight in a place, every two
feet, the rows being three feet wide.
This is fully as close as the stalks should
stand, on fair land—moderately feitil
ized, and planted with good, prolific
seed. It will be found very convenient
for the seed dropper to be guided in
dropping seed, by the steps of the plow
man who opens the furrows. An aver
age man with an average mule will step
rather more than two feet, but he may
easily regulate his stride so as to furnish
a very regular guide of twenty-four
inches for the dropper who •follows. Or
the dropper may regulate the distance
by his own step. In either case there
should not be less than two droppers to
each opening plow. It is very desirable
also, that the furrows should be opened
by a V shaped block or wheel, which
may be attached to the rear of an ordin
ary plow stock.
As remarked, in the article on “check
ing cotton” in The Index of January 20,
the cotton seed should be rolled so as to
facilitate planting. We know of no ap
pliance for this purpose that is equal to
the barrell seed roller, first contrived and
described by the writer many years ago,
and again described in The Index of
April 1, 1880.
If the object in rolling is solely to sep
arate the seed and facilitate dropping, it
is a good plan to use land plaster as a
drying material, as it makes the seed
white and easily seen when dropped.
But a small quantity of a high grade fer
tilizer may be used as a dryer, with fine
effect on the young plants. We have
used the Peruvian (Cnincha) Guano for
rolling seed with the very best results.
Acid phosphate, however, should not be
used for this purpose as it will kill the
germs.
The foot cf the dropper will cover the
seed better than anything else; but it is
rather slow for this fast age. If the land
is smooth, a thick board or block leaves
little to be desired. To avoid having the
mule step in the seed furrow, and at the
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1881.
same time cover more rapidly, if the
ground is smooth, a drag may be used,
and two rows covered at one time. The
drag is made thus: Take a piece of tim
tier f >ur and a half feet long and about
four inches square. Ou one side bore a
two-inch hole near each end and insert
two poles for shafts. On the upper side
of the drag bore two hole*, into which
two short pieces are inserted to serve as
handles. The shaft may be fastened to
the hames by a thong or a abort piece of
chain.
By the way this rough implement
(though it may be nicely made if desired)
is very useful in striking <ff the cotton
beds, two at a time, ahead of the pilot
ing. It does the work much better than
an ordinary board, and twice as fast.
We would advise farmers who may
try the p'an of planting in hills or bunch
es, to secure the best and most prolific
seed.
It is evident that the amouut of hoe
ing required by this plan must be greatly
less than when the cotton is sown con
tinuously and chopped out to ten or
twelve inche.*. The mere chopping
through is not what invo ves the labor,
but thinning to a stand and cleaning the
grass from such a great number of hill.*.
If the bids average one foot apart, in
three feet rows, when first put to a stand
there will be 14,520 hills to each acre. If
two feet apart there will be only one half
so many, or 7,260 hill.*.
THE OAT CROP—EARLY CORN.
Our information is that in the South
ern half of Georgia, the fall sown oats
were generally destroyed by the freezing
weather which attended the exit of the
old year. In Middle and North Georgia,
fortunately, the earth was covered
with a snow blanket v,hich kept the oats
from freezing out.
There is some little comfort in the fact
tbatowing to the exceeding wet weather
which began about, the first of Novem
ber, and has prevailed thus far into Feb
ruary, comparatively little oats were
sown in the Southern portion of the
Gulf States, and therefore a much larger
quantity of seed oats are available for
Spring sowing than might have been
There has been no weather since No
vetnber Ist. when clay soils could have
been plowed without injury, and there
are many farmers who h«ve l>een up to
this writing (Eeb. 3.) waiting for suitable
weather. We would suggest to those
who have but few seed to s >w, that it i*
a good opportunity to test the merits of
thorough preparation, and high manur
ing for oats. Tlie later the cron is plant
ed the greater the care that should be
taken to supply, as faraspo.sible, all the
conditions of success.
Those farmers who foresee their ina
bility to supplement a short supply of
corn with tlie usual auxiliary of an oat
crop, from want of seed oats, should pre
pare afew acres by thorough plowing
and manuring, for a crop of some quick
maturing corn. As a rule, very early va
rieties of corn will not beur very early
planting in this latitude; but by high ma
nuring, especially in the Lili—such kinds
as are suitable for field culture, may be
put in as early as any.
The Pennsylvania yellow(fleld) corn,
Dent’s Gohlen, and Newman’s Prolific,
are good early verities. Such as Adam’s
early are too dwarfish for successful field
culture, unless very highly manured,
and planted a little later. Seed of each
of the above, except Newman's may us
ually be bought of our own seedsmen,
but certainly of D. Landreth’s Sons,
Philadelphia or other extensive dealers.
Sed corn for the main crop should be
selected in advance of planting time,
that there may be no occasion for hur
ried or careless selection. Those who
have heretofore adapted the practice of
planting a seed patch to produce seed
corn for the crop, are probably supplied
with better seed than usual, and may
plant with confidence that their trouble
will be tenfold repaid.
DISTRIBUTION OF SEEDS.
The Department of Aricultureis doing
an excellent work fortlie farmers of the
State in procuring and distributing to
every section of the State, pure selected
seed of the best varities of corn, cotton,
uj land rice, melons, cabbage and to
bacco. The Commissioner, as a rule,
ships the quota of seeds apportioned to
each county, to the Secretaries of the
clubs or to tlie Ordinary thereof, for dis
tribution to individual's.
This plan reduces the heavy expense
of sending a large number of small pack
ages singly by express or mail. One good
result o' this method will be to encour
age the formation and continuance of
farmers clubs.
The Soil Test fertilizersand Seeds for
1881—alluded to elsewhere, contains a
good number of brief reports from farm
ers who tested seeds sent out last year,
and though somewhat contradictory, will
serve in the main, as a valuable guide
in purchasing seed of improved varities
of cotton and corn, especially the first
named. We observe that all the varie
ties of cotton found more or less favor
with experimenters. The Herltmg seem
ed to give more general satisfaction, but
the Jones Upland Prolific, and Jones im
proved were both favorably reported by
many. It is a little remarkable that
each of these three varities is grown by
a different member of the universal Jones
family.

, Mr Prick—Dear Sir: I bought one o your In
valid Beds nearly four years ago, which has been
constantly use-t ever since. I feel it a duty to
acknowledge the benefits derived. The fifth day
of Kebruary, 1876, my husband accidently fell,
dislocating his hip-jolntand fracturing thel-mb.
He became helpless, anil prior to in-ing your bed,
suffered untold misery in attending nature's
calls: It required the aid of two persons, even
iheii occasioning excruciating pain. I tried an
invalid chair, air cushion* an urinals, aud In
deed everything that was recommended, and all
proved a failure. But the first few days after
using your B“d I realized a decided change for
the better. My husband is iu his seventy-sixth
year: as Intimated above, he has entirely lost
the use of bls limbs, and Is consequently con
stantly recumbent. He has been relieved of
bed-sore, and nowenjois perfect comfort. The
bed linen remains dry, which was not the case
before, and a grout deal of lab r has been saved
In lifting and washing the bed-linen, and scarce
ly any attention is required. Your Bed is perfect;
and knowing it to be entirely safe, I would not
risk changing it for any consideration I would
advise all who contemplate getting an Invalid
