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.

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.
