-Agronomist. pounds of phos
phoric acid. A 40 bushel crop
of corn will remove in the grain, stalk
and fodder about 64 pounds of nitro
gen, 54 pounds of potash anti II pounds
if phosphoric acid. A 40 bushel crop
of oats will remove in the grain and
straw about 35 pounds of nitrogen,
41 pounds of potash and 16 pounds of
phosphoric acid. If, however, stalks,
bolls, straw, etc., are plowed upder,
some ofMhe plant food will be return
ed to the soil.
Cotton Fertilizer Problem
With the present price of cotton and
other farm products, it will pay the
farmer to give more attention this
Spring to the problems of soil build
ing and to the intelligent use of for.
tilizers than ever before. Some of
Ihe best farmers of the South hgve
adopted the plan of returning to the
soil in fertilizers, the money received
from ail or part of tlieir cottonseed.
This - is a good plan and should be
more generally adopted.
Enough Piant Food for Best Yields
It takes from 390 pounds to 400
pounds of fertilizer to make a good
weed in cotton, or a good stalk in
corn, and unless amounts above these
are n oil, full returns cannot be ex
pected because large amounts must be
applied to produce the fruit and the
grain.
The amount of fertilizer that can
be used profitably will vary with th
different soil types, seasons and with
the different crops grown. The mo: t
important factor, however, governing
the amount of fertilizer that can he
used with profit is the price of the
article produced. At the present price
of toi ion, it will pay to use on most
of the soil types of the South larger
amounts of fertilizer than heretofore.
To Meet 801 l Weevil Situation
When grown under boll weevil con
ditions, cotton should be liberally fer
tilized and this fertilizer Should con
tain a large percentage of phosphoric
avid, which ingredient hastens its ma
! urity. A fertilizer containing an am
ple supply of ammonia should also be
used to Tit art the piant off quickly in
its growth. The farmer must over

Commissioners.
I hear in mind that the best way lie can
light the boll weevil i to force ills
cotton to a quick growth and to an
! -arty maturity. Many farmers in ihe
j bull v.a vil ili.,trill an finding that

How to Tell What Is Necessary
.The “farmer can or< ntlmes deter
mine the element must needed in Ills
fertilizer by noting the "manner of
growth of cotton on .his different soil
types. When the growth is slow arid
the plants have a yellow, unhealthy
look, nitrogen (or ammonia) should be
applied In.rather large amounts. If,
however, t! e plants lor k vigoroui . but
are lint fruiting well, phosphoric a id
should he used liberally.
Generally speaking, for poor .soils, (lie
i most important element of a fertilizer
j is nitrogen, and the nexi most import
int is phosphorous. Therefore, for
‘ cot- soils we would recommend under
pro: lit- war Condition.-', which Make#
potash rearer, a fertilizer for cotter
and corn analyzing about 9 per cent
available phosphoric acid and 3 per
relit ammonia and'2 per teal pota.-.h.
For peanuts )2 per edit phi ihorie
acid, 2 per o nt ammonia-and 2 pa
cent potash. Ft pi rtile soils ye would
recommend fop- edit on end corn, a fer
tilizer analyzing 13 per c ent Available
phosphoric .acid, 2 pet" rent ammonia
and 2 per rerft potash, and for pr mills,
a fertilizer analyzing 12 per cent p'm
Plioric acid, 1 1-2 per cent amin.uiin
and 2 per eeitt potssh. Fur the sandy
loam soils of Ihe e. astttl plain, po!
| ash is the moat essential and.for to
haceo and truck enfps must be applied
in liberal nni u
Tlie is. ton that, nitrogen or ammo

Did it ever occur to you that you
might not he using the telephone in the
right way?
Do you speak sideways, above, be

You should talk directly into the
transmitter —not simply at it. Keep your
lips about one inch from the mouthpiece.
Speak in an even 'tone. It is not neces
