The utilization of cotton seed or cotton seed meal for fertilizing purposes Is a matter of more than passing interest to 'outhem farmers Statistics show that more than two million ton of cotton seed are retained on our farms and used either as feed or fertilizer Undoubtedly a large part of the seed is used as a fertilizer, and it to well known that a large quan tity of the meal is used in a similar manner. Cotton seed or cotton seed meal to not at all a balanced plant food. A ton of high grade meal contains, roughly speaking. 7 per cent of nitrogen. 2 per cent of phosphoric acid, and 2 per cent of potash respectively. A ton of seed would contain about one-half of the above amounts. There is no crop known which can use a "7-2-2” formula advant ageously. It is of course true that several truck crops can use large amounts of ni trogen. but tn that case it is better to use a quieter available form of this ele ment such as nitrate of soda would pro vide, and make the application as a top dressing to the growing crop. Since nitrogen Is the most ezpenstve el ement of fertility, one could not afford to use cotton seed or cotton seed meal alone without a great and unnecessary waste of this expensive element. Moreov er. cotton seed meal is of itself deficient tn phosphate* and potash, and would not begin to supply the needs of ordinary farm crops with respect to these two ele ments. It has been demonstrated many times that plants require a well balanced food supply. In other words, that a lack in any one element can not be supplied by an excessive application of another element. The Importance, of maintain ing an equilibrium or a balance of the several elements in crop growing be comes apparent, and the benefits which follow the application of fertilizers will be largely determined by the ■skill with which the farmer maintains the neces sary balance of plant food in his soil. It to for this reason that one who depends chiefly on cotton seed or cotton seed meal as a fertilizing material is bound to be disappointed with the results obtained. It also explains why cotton seed or cot ton seed meal to give its best results must be mixed with phosphates and potash In such amount as will supply these several mineral salts to the oil in the right pro portions. Suppose one has a supply of cotton seed meal on hand, having exchanged it for seed at the oil mill, how should he pro ceed to prepare fertilizer formulas best suited to the needs of such crops as corn, eotton. oats, peanuts, potatoes and to- ♦ QUERIES ANSWERED ♦ oeeeeg z zeoeeoeooeeteeoeepe Fertilizer Suitable for Corn. Cabbage* and Potatoes J. T. H-. Moultrie, Ga.. writes: Would an analysis of my soil be of any benefit to me? It want to know what fertilizers to’use for best results on corn, cotton, cabbage, sweet potatoes and cane. My land always makes fine stalk but little frutt. and I think there must be some thing lacking in it Soli analysis, while a useful guide to determine the plant food deficiencies of a soil, can not be relied on absolutely, because an analysis of a-soil only reveals the total amount of plant food contained therein, but does not show the percent age of each constituent which is avail able. Os course, if one has an analysis of a soil before him he can qdickly de termine what the constituents the soil is most likely to be deficient in, and he will then know what to apply to most nearly insure larger yields. Under the circumstances we would, advise you to use phosphates in liberal amounts since this element of plant food Is intimately concerned in hastening maturity and in the formation of grain ami seed. The fact that you seem to grow a large enough stalk indicates a deficiency in phosphoric acid. Os course, the variety of corn or cotton grown has an influence on the amount of stalk produced. One can through systematic selection reduce the «ize of the stalk of either corn or cot ton. and attention should be given to this matter by all our fanners. Situated as you are. we woulo advise the use of a complete fertilizer containing only a moderate amount of nitrogen. Better still, we would reduce the amount of nitrogen to a minimum, or exclude Its use slto- s, $a s [ ir w * B * SMrrH & SON «?l/ r Lj Ohio’s Famous Herd of Holstein-Friesians « Vk Columbus, Ohio, May 21, 1907.

A suitable fertilizer for corn might be prepared as follows: Mix together 700 pounds of cotton seed meal, 1.000 pounds of acid phosphate, 100 pounds of nitrate of soda and 200 pounds of muriate of potash. This mixture will contain about 3.2 per cent of available nitrogen. 8.7 per cent of available phos phoric acid and 5.7 per cent of potash, when only high-grade goods are used. A good formula for cotton might be pre pared as follows: Mix together 840 pounds of cotton seed meal. 1.000 punds of acid phosphate and 160 pounds of muriate of potash. This mixture will contain ap proximately 2.9 per cent of nitrogen, 8.8 per cent of phosphork; acid and 4.8 per cent of potash, and will be very well adapted to cotton except probably on sandy soils, when the per cent of potash may be profitably Increased. For pea nuts only a limited amount of nitrogen would be needed, while a high per ren tage of potash is desirable. This result may be attained by mixing together 500 pounds of cotton seed meal. 1.100 pounds of acid phosphate and 400 pounds of mu riate of potash. This mixture would contain approximately 1.7 per cent of nitrogen. 8.8 per cent of phosphoric acid and 10.5 per cent of potash, and should rovide an ideal combination for the pea nut crop. Irish potatoes require a high grade complete fertilizer, rich in available potash and phosphoric acid. Such a fer tilizer may be prepared by mixing to gether 600 pounds of cotton seed meal, *OO pounds of nitrate of soda. 850 pounds of acid phosphate and 350 pounds of high grade sulphate of potash. This combina tion would contain about 3.7 per cent of nitrogen. 7.4 per cent of phosphoric acid and 9.4 per cent of potash. Tobacco is anther gross feeding plant requiring a highly concentrated fertilizer and one especially rich tn potash A formula suitable for tobacco might be composed as follows: Mix together 900 pounds of cotton seed meal. 150 pounds of nitrate l of soda, 600 pounds of acid phosphate and 350 pounds of sulphate of potash. This mixture would contain about 4.35 per cent of nitrogen. 5.7 per cent of avail able phosphoric acid and 965 per cent of potash. The foregoing suggestions indicate how the farmer may utilize his cotton seed meal to tbe best advantage as the basis o fa fertilizer formula. They also illus trate how essential it becomes for him to purchase and use large amounts of potash and phosphoric avid In order to balance up his cotton seed meal and pro ride formulas that will meet fully the plant food requirements of his crop. gether. or cover the land well with com post made from leaves, weeds and trash. This will supply vegetable matter to the soil. Improving its mechanical condition, and the need of nitrogen—the most ex pensive element of plant food the farmer has to purchase and utilize will not be so great. A good formula to use on corn and cotton is- as follows: Mix together 1.000 pounds of high grade acid phosphate, GOO pounds of tankage and 200 pounds of mu riate of potash. To bring the total up to 2.000 pounds add 200 pounds of compost. This mixture should contain approxi mately 2.4 per cent of nitrogen, 9.5 pdr cent of phosphoric acid and 5 per cent of potash. We would use it at the ratu of at least 500 pounds per acre on both corn and cotton. For cabbage the fol lowing formula will answer very well: 700 pounds of acid phosphate, 800 pounds of tankage. 200 pounds of nitrate of soda and 300 pounds of muriate of potash. This mixture would contain aproximately 4.8 per cent of nitrogen. 7.5 per cent of phos phoric acid and 7.5 per cent of potash. A suitable formula for potatoes and su gar cane might be prepared as follows: Mix together 1,000 pounds of high grads acid phosphate. 600 pounds of dried blood, and 400 pounds of high grade sulphate of potash. This mixture would contain ap proximately 3.9 per cent of nitrogen. 8 per cent of phosphoric acid, and 10 per cent of potash. Use at the rate of 500 to 1,006 pounds per acre. Green Crops for Hogs C.

With the same acreage the tobacco growers in these States could, by improved methods of cultivation •nd fertilization, undoubtedly increase the total vahie of the crop to $65,000,000. Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers are compounded with the utmost care, containing only such elements of plant foods as can be taken up and properly assimilated by the plant without causing injury to its quality. Years of investigation of the cultivation ana fertilization of tobacco enables the Virginia- Carolina Chemical Company to furnish fertilizers of superior quality for the production of this crop. Mr. J. W. Rogers, R.F.D. No. 4, Durham, N.C., writes: “I have been using your fertilizers this year and the crops are the best looking J have ever seen —especially the tobacco crop. I have never seen any other fertilizer which acted as quickly as yours does. The leaf is large and waxy, cures bright, and I am satisfied will bring a big price. Also, my neighbors in this district use your fertilizer with the best results. ” Is there any reason why you couldn’t do as well ?

From this you should not gather that it is ad visable to abandon sorghum altogether, as it may fill in a gap during the grow ing season which no other crop will bridge over very satisfactorily, but when possible, we think it good policy to use other crops. A good rotation to follow on a five-acre tract might be as follows: Winter oats and hairy vetch seeded in the later surnmel or early fall, say in August or September. Early seeding will give the crop a good start and will furnish considerable pasture through the fall and into the winter when artichokes should become avail able. In the spring the oats and vetch may be grazed again while small and tender, and a section of the field may be left to mature grain which the hogs will clean up very thoroughly and do well on. We would plant rape early in the spring to be pastured alternately | with the oats and vetch. We have found rape a most satisfactory crop for grazing hogs, and it has succeeded very j well with us when planted as a spring crop in drills about 24 inches apart, j We would follow the winter oats and vetch and rape with cowpeas and soy oeans respectively; these crops to be j grazed off in midsummer and fall. An other section of the land should be de voted to Spanish peanuts which will be grazed in «.ne late fall. Then, if possi ble, we would have another section de voted to alfalfa, as this crop may be grazed several times during the season. It would be comparatively easy to develop a five-acre rotation system and use these or other crops which may succeed especially well in your section of the state. The greatest difficulty we have experiencd in carrying hogs on grazing crops throughout the year is to get a crop in between the ripening of the oats and the time when the cow peas are ready to graze. Sorghum or early maturing sweet corn have been used some times with advantage, but we would rather devise a system, if possible, in which these crops are not used to any appreciable extent. When a gap has occurred at the time sug gested, we have found a blue grass or Bermuda sod an advantage for the maintenance of the hogs until the cow peas and soy beans become ready for grazing. As there are early and late maturing varieties of these crops, the grazing season can be extended consid erably by using varieties which ripen in a succession. Home-Mixed Plant Food T. M. 8.. Stilesboro, Ga., writes: I would like some information in regaid to home-mixing fertilizers for gray land for both corn and cotton. I expect to use cotton seed meal, parts of which will be commercial meal and the balance will be the kernels of seed only partly cracked with the oil not extracted, ground in what we call a separator, that separates the hull from the kernel. Does it contain any more plant food than the commercial meal? Would you advise the use of kainit with this meal? How much would you ad vise per acre on land that will produce one-half bale with 100 pounds of com mercial fertilizer or 15 bushels of with 50 pounds of commercial fertilizer? With regard to your question on fertili zers. the kind and amount to use on gray land will depend a good deal on the char acter of your soil. This you failed to de scribe in away that makes it possible to give very definite suggestions. For in stance, gray land may have a red clay subsoil. Much land that was red origignal ly is now white on top because the iron which gave it its color has been leached out of the soil. Where you have a good stiff clay subsoil, you have naturally a better soil than where the gray color is due to what is sometimes called a craw fish, or to a preponderance of sand. Land with a red clay subsoil is naturally much stronger than the other types mentioned, and one would probably not need to use so much fertilizer on this land, nor would they need to use fertilizer so rich in potash, and probably nitrogen as well. We presume you wish to prepare a formula for both corn and cotton, and that it is your desire to use some cotton seed meal which you have purchased from an oil mill and the crushed kernels from which the hull has been removed, but the oil not extracted. The kernels will not be as rich in plant food per hun dred pounds as the meal because of the fact that the oil has not been extracted, and they have not been condensed. The oil is of no advantage to a fertilizer, and it is better whenever you can make a reasonable trade to let the oil mill have the seed and use the meal as the basis of your fertilizer. To prepare a formula for corn and cotton, you may proceed as follows, using cotton seed meal as the basis: Mix to gether 900 pounds of high grade acid phos phate, 1,000 pounds of cotton seed meal and 100 pounds of muriate of potash. If high-grade goods are used, this mixture should contain about 3.5 per cent of ni trogen, 8.2 per cent of phosphoric acid and 3.5 per cent of potash. Tne potash might be increased somewhat for sandy lands with advantage.' This mixture should be used at the rate of 200 to 500 pounds per acre; probably 300 pounds at the time of planting and 200 pounds as a side application later in the season when the crop is partly matured. You will no tice that this is a much heavier appli cation of fertilizers than you have sug gested. We are of the opinion that the amount used by you was so small as to have little effect on the erop yield. I feel quite certain if you use a high grade mxi ture in the proportions suggested that your crop yields will be increased and that you wil find the application a profit able one.

PA TT ER AGAIN OVERRIDDEN NASHVILLEr Tend ," F«*b. 3,-At 1:30 o’clock the bill to prevent the manufac ture of intoxicants was passed by the senate over the governor’s veto by a vote of 20 to 12. The message will not reach the house before tomorrow. Gov. M. R. Patterson today sent to the state senate a special message vetoing the bill prohibiting the manufacture of intoxicants in Tennessee after Janu ary 1, 1910. The message in part fol lows: To the Honorable Members of the Senate: "I return Senate Bill No. 11, entitled An Act to Prohibit the Manufacture in This State of Intoxicating Liquors for the Purpose of Sale’ with my disap proval. "If this legislature shall destroy all the distilleries and breweries, why can not the next forbid the raising or sell ing of the grains or the cultivation of the grape out of which spirituous, malt or vineous liquors are made. "Shall this or some future legislature prevent the farmer from raising or sell ing tobacco or the manufacturer from placing it on the market? "If we thus start, where shall we end? It is better not to make the start. "in the exercise of my constitutional power as governor, I veto this measure and ask its reconsideration: “First, because it ruthlessly deprives the state of revenue without any sort of corresponding benefit. "Second, It discriminates against our own people in favor of the people of other states. “Third, It destroys the property of the citizen without compensation. "Fourth, It makes a dangerous pre cedent, humilitates Tennessee and low ers the place of dignity she has occu pied as one of the proudest and most conservative of the union. "Fifth. It violates the will of the people thrice expressed at the ballot box, offends against their sense of justice, and under the plea of civic righteous ness, sacrifices a great moral princi ple of government at the very altar where it should be guarded and de fended." There will probably be a lengthy dis cussion on the subject, but it is a fore gone conclusion that the bill will be passed ove-r the governor's veto.

COLD WES ACT AS NATION’S IONIC AMERICAN ENERGY CAUSED BY EXTREMES OF COLD—NEITH ER EXTREME OF HOT OR COLD IS GOOD. Had you ever thought that the weather had so much to do with making America as great as it is? Especially that part of the weather which we call a cold wave, the first one of which, for the season, Atlanta is now experiencing. According to Director von Herrmann, at the local weather station, Atlanta and the whole country have an asset <t great value in the cold wave that in both win ter and summer sweeps across the coun try, chasing the mercury down the tube. Why? Because the wave acts as a tonic, but, unlike any tonic of the physician, it carries no reaction. No other land has cold waves like ours. To the cold, dry air of periodic cold waves, which bring extraordinary changes of temperature, we owe much of the keen, alert mind, the incessant, un remitting energy of the American race. So one can see that the cold wave is an excellent thing, viewed from the hygienic standpoint. • Cleanse the Air The high winds that always accompany the cold wave renew the air, sweeping away dust, smoke and impure gases. Witness the air. as clear as a bell, which one saw on Sunday. This pure air braces one up, puts snap an<j ginger into one and makes life worth living. This is an important feature of the 1 cold wave, because the most energetic and progressive people in the world five in countries where the weather is not uniformly hot or warm, but where cold waves vary the atmospheric conditions and break the monotony of heat. The cold wave brings a sHnvilnw tor both body and mind, as it is full of tok itlve electricity. Furthermore, the mere fact that it is cold obliges people to ex i ereise. It is necessary for them to ex ercise In order to keep up energy and to keep themselves warm. For any race to make progress it is necessary for them to work both bodily and mentally. Retween Two Extremes The tropical races are an example of ’ the people who live in a climate uniform ' ly hot and where it is not necessary for a man to work. He may recline at ease I under a banana or date tree and live for months and months without expending any appreciable energy,- for nature, in i compensation for the hot climate, has i given him food ready at hand. But these races accomplish but little in the world's i work, for they are Indolent bodily and i menially. Vigorous bodily exercise re- • acts on the mind and makes vigorous • mentality possible, in fact, almost neces- ■ sary. . Too far north we reach the other ex » treme, with the Esquimaus, for instance, 1 for they are compelled to exercise too . much to keep themselves warm. They spend practically all of their energy In I an effort to live and keep warm, conse quently little is left for thought or other action. The paces that live in the temperate . zone are the most aggressive and progres- > slve in the world, as they have better r conditions to keep up their energy on ac count of their being subject to cold wave changes in both winter and summer. They are the races that do most of the ■ worid's work and that make history. > WILL TRY CAPTAIN FOR BEING DRUNK ’ GIBRALTAR. Feb. 8.-The courtmar tial which is to try Edward F.
