Soule, President State Agricultural College, Athens. Ga. HOW POTASH MAY LIMIT CROP YIELDS It has long been admitted that pot asn is an essential element in crop production. That this statement is well rounded is borne out by an examina tion of the various amounts of this element removed by some of our prin cipal crops. For instance. IS tons of apples will take from each acre of orchard land SO pounds of potash a year; 30 bushels of barley with the straw would remove SI pounds of pot ash; 30 tons of cabbage. 270, pounds of potash; two tons of clover hay. 88 pounds; 70 bushels of corn with the stover. 55 pounds; 2.5 tons of mixed hay, 77 pounds; 200 busnels of Irish potatoes with the tops. 74 pounds; 15 tons of sugar beets with the tops, 143 pounds; 1.800 pounds of tobacco with the stems. 200 pounds; 700 bushels of turnips with the tops, 180 pounds. For the sake of brevity the list ends here, but an examination of the plant food requirements of other farm crops when making a yield of sufficient magnitude to prove remunerative to the farmer would indicate the same relative need of an abundant supply of available potash. Notice that the yields mentioned above, while above the average, are not at all excessive. It is noteworthy that fruit, truck, field crops such as corn and other cereals, roots and specialised crops like tobacco all require abundant amounts of potash for their develop ment. It is Interesting to note that the amount of commercial fertilizer required to supply these needs would vary from 102 pounds of muriate of potash with barley to 540 hounds with : tobacco. Remember in thia connection ■ that muriate of potash is one of the | most concentrated forms in which this ' element can be supplied to the soil. ■ and that it would take much larger I quantities of lower grade materials to reimburse the land with the loss of this element through the growth and bale, for Instance, of a crop of cab bage yielding 30 tons per acre. It is contended by some that cer tain of our soils do not require potash fertilizers because they are naturally so rich tn this particular food element. It should be remembered, however, that the.utility of a fertilizing element de pends altogether on its availability, and it appears from experimental re sults that many of our soils do not contain this element in an avail4>le form in sufficient quantity to meet the requirements of a growing crop, even though the analysis may show rela tively large amounts present in the first 12 inches of soil. Moreover, it is quite clear that the continued growth of crops which take from the land an essential element of plant food in any thing like the proportions mentioned above will soon reduce the available supply materially. The effect of the continued cultivation of one crop on the soil without following an adequate system of rotation or a judicious re turn of commercial plant food in proper amounts has been witnessed over and over again in all parts of the United States. Take, for instance, the notable reduetion in yields of wheat in the prairie sections of the middle west and the northwest. Note the effect of a failure to organize farm practice on a systematic basis in the cotton areas of the south and southwest. In sec tions where fruit or truck growing has been followed more or less successfully on virgin soils for many years, the orchardist now realizes that he has been living on what nature stored in the surface area through thousands or possibly millions of years, and he now faces a crisis of decreased yield and an unsatisfactory grade of fruit iff iff S Parts Prices are Taxes— fl U Get Them Low 1 StudebeJter-Flanders “20” Touring Car aTF yAi Price, Standard Equipped, SBOO !Now —before you buy a car —find out what repair parts J will cost you.

PHONE, Ivy 1634. brought on largely by his failure to return to the soil in abundance those elements of plant food w’hich are now regarded as essential by our agricul tural chemists. It is not surprising that the yield of wheat, for instance, should have decreased in the section where it formerly made such abundant yields, for the straw which contains about three-fourths of the total amount of potash required by the crop was generally burned so that the vari ous natural agencies aided in sweeping it away and depleting the soil content of this element to an undesirable de gree. Relatively speaking, the same result has taken place in the orchard • and truck areas, and in the cotton fields as well. When it is realized that potash per forms various Important functions in plant economy, the desirability of using it in sufficient amounts to meet the re quirements of all growing crops becomes more and more apparent. For instance. I this element is known to play an iin- I portant part in the development of the . structure of all p'.ants. It is certainly necessary to the formation of the woody fiber of the stalk and is concerned in the elaboration and transference of starch from one part of the plant U> the other. Starch is elaborated in the'leaves and constitutes the basic food supply of the plant. From it is elaborated the various other constituents which enter into the composition and life activities of the growing crop. Could any element per- i form more important or essentia! func tions in the service of mankind than ' this? , It is now realized that potash is very I • important to such crops as roots, tubers. I beets and potatoes which contain large | : quantities of starch. It is also of serv- - | ice in perfecting and developing the fla- j I vor, color and quality of fruit. When , applied to many crops, it stimulates growth and enables them to tide over pe riods in their life history which would otherwise prove very destructive, mate rially limiting the yield obtained from the soil. These facts set forth in a brief but succinct form the draft made by our principal crops on potash, and illustrate the various essentian functions which it performs in plant economy. They show clearly why the farmer should ascer tain as thoroughly and completely as possib'e the amount and availability of the potash which his soil may naturally contain and supplement it whenever and wherever deficient by commercial appli cations in sufficient quantity to meet the needs of the special crop to which the land is to be devoted. • • • DIFFICULT LAND TO WORK. C. O. L,. Lafayette. Ala., writes: I have an acre of dark loamy red land with a red clay subsoil that is inclined to be gummy-like and I could not get a two horse plow to turn It more than 5 or 6 Inches deep, but took a bull-tongue scoot er and broke it 9 or 10 Inches. The land was in cotton last year and was kept clean. I intended getting some leaf mold from the woods and filling up the rows about half-full of it. and then applying about 500 pounds of cotton seed meal, acid and muriate of potash mixed. Do you think this would be too much under the drill row? Would appreciate any suggestion you care to give me. In breaking land of the character de scribed in your letter, it is important to bear in mind that you should not attempt to work it except when it is in proper physical condition. The plowing of this land when it is sticky and wet will cause it to run together and compact and im pair its physical qualities to that extent. THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TRIDAY, MAY 24, 1912. I do not think under the circumstances you had better attempt to plow it again before planting, though of course, this would be desirable under ordinary cir cumstances. but the season is so far ad vanced and you would have to wait such a considerable period of time for the ground to get in proper condition for plowing, we believe it would be better to plant under the circumstances without waiting to rebreak the land. What this land really needs is an abundance of vegetable matter and a heavy application of lime. Since the fertilizer and seed should not be put into the soil until two weeks after an application of lime. . we think it inadvisable to recommend the use of lime under existing conditions, but we would advise the use of lime on this land next fail at the rate of one to two tons of caustic lime per acre. On land of this character we think the caustic lime should be given the prefer ence over the finely ground rock, because ‘ the caustic lime will change the physi- Ical condition more completely than the I finely ground rock, and it is the physi cal condition that needs transformation more than anything else. The plowing under of green crops will help this soil, but, of course, this is advice to be practiced in the future. In the meantime, prepare your land as carefully as you can. open the furrow as you suggest, put in the leaf mold, and if you have any yard manure do not be afraid to apply it liberally. Mix the leaf mold and manure well with the subsoil by means of a bull-tongue and draw the furrows i together and plant on the level at the distances Indicated in your letter. We ! think you will find a prolific type of | corn to do well on this character of soil. , One of the great troubles with land of I this type is to secure a good stand. If j you can get the corn up and growing ■ freely, the soil generally contains enough moisture and plant food to insure a good yield. We have some land of this charac ter on the college farm and know how difficult it is to handle, but it can be Improved, and once it is brought into good condition, it makes exceptionally fine land for growing corn and cot ton. We think an application of a minimum of 500 pounds of fertilizer would be de sirable, and that about a 9-3-4 should answer well for corn. A mixture of 960 pounds of high-grade acid phosphate, 900 pounds of cotton seed meal containing not less than 6.18 per cent of potash, and 140 pounds of muriate of potash will provide a formula which approximates a 9-3-4 quite closely. This used at the rate suggested above should answer very well for corn on the character of land mentioned in your letter. • • • TOP DRESSINGS OF NITRATE. G. M. F., Albemarle. Nr C., Is it too late for me to apply nitrate of soda to a few acres of wheat and oats? The oats are beginning to head and the wheat is about 12 inches high. I will be glad to pay for this inform ation if there Is any charge to those living outside the state. I t>ut about 100 pounds of fertilizer to the acre when tfie wheat was planted. The whea. is planted on practically new ground, and was in wheat last season, and sowed to cowpeas after the wheat was cut. Pea hay was cut off and the gruond broken with a small plow and the wheat sowed. It is too late now to apply nitrate of soda to oats and wheat; that is, where the crop was sown in the fall. The writer has observed a number of patches of spring-sown oats which are just coming out of the ground, and upon MAIN LINE MILEAGE IS GOOD ON BRANCHES Roads in South Carolina Amend Rule—Presidents 1 Make Statements (By Staff Correspondent.) JOURNAL BUREAU. Jerome Hotel. COLUMBIA. 8. C.. May 20.—At the request of the r'ailfoad commission the South Carolina railroads have modified their rule not to issue inter-changeable milage hooks for journeys wholly with in the state. The rule is changed so that a mileage book issued for the main line of a railroad will be good on all lines controlled by the main system. The commission tn receipt of a letter today from President W. W. Fin ley, of the Southern railroad, in which he stated that mileage books good on the Southern would-also be good on the Blue Ridge railway. A similar letter was received from T M. Emerson, pres ident of the Atlhti(ic Coast Line, in which he stated that books good on his line wpuld also be good over tne Charleston and Western Carolina. Mile age issued on these roads will be ac cepted on trains, but both letters state that suit will be filed to test the validity of the recent state law. Requiring roads in South Carolina to accept mileage on trains and that it must be understood that the compliance with the commissions request will not be allowed to prejudice the rights of the roads in this suit. President R. L. Caughman. of the commission, has written to Mr. Emer son to know for certain of his acque sence in which the commission includes also the making good of the Coast Line’s books on the Charleston-Green ville train that traverses the Columbia, New Berry and Laurens railroad. The rue of the rairoads not to issue inter changeable books in the state was put into effect May Ist, |o effect state law, which went into effect the same day re quiring mileage to ,be accepted on trains. ■ . i. '} *•*' ‘ n ■ * which nitrate of soda might be used with advantage if put on immediately. The objection to applying nitrate when the wheat and oats are shooting into head or about do so is that it promotes an undue amount of growth at the expense of grain. There is a tendenc yin many localities to delay the application of nitrate />f soda to these crops until too late in the season, and then the farmer is disappointed in the results obtained front its use. I have no doubt that at) application of nitrate on this ground early in the season would have proven judging from the method of handling which has been followed and 1 the-fact that it was in wheat last year. • G.f course, if the season continues wet, the use of nitrate will not be so important, because the plentiful supply of moisture in the soil and the well known solvent action of water will enable the crop to gather a larger supply of platat food than would be possible in a dry season. In our judgment, heavier application of fer tilizers in the fall is advisable on wheat and oats than is generally practiced. We believe on most soils 400 to 500 pounds of an 8-2-3, or on sjandy lands, a 9-3-4 will prove profitable under cereals. Ce reals are not easier -to produce where one seeks a satisfactory yield than cot ton: yet we would fertilize the same land much more liberally fdr cotton than for oats and wheat Ordinarily about the right application of nitrate of soda on cereals is 100 pounds per acre, though on corn, 150 pounds ffer acre should be used. 1/ ‘ Z There, is no xhajgq./pr any-informa tion secured thrpugly ..these columns. The purpose of the\business manage ment is to make the' information pre sented reliable and of benefit to our readers. . . W E. E. W, : Cedartown, Ga.. writes: I would like to know the best prepara tion for corn. The land was in corn last year and lias been so wet that 1 could not cut the scalks and the weeds are growing. The land is second bot tom and will make about sixty-five bushels per acre. The preparation of the land for corn this year is a difficult problem because the rains have been so heavy and per sistent up to this time that the land is so wet any distance, from the surface that deep plowing arid cultivation ar? frequently impracticable. We would be disposed to prepare land by plow ing to a depth of six or eight inches, though even if one has to wait until unusually late to plant the corn, for the preparation pf is one of the great determining factors in the yield to be secured. We-, think it well to bury the stalks and weeds as com pletely as possible. Ls observation and experience are worth anything, many farmers are making the mistake this year in spite of the discouraging con ditions they have to contend with in endeavoring to plant their usual area of crops without properly preparing the land. The writer has observed much corn and cotton planted in the water furrows of last year. . It will be al most a miracle if satisfactory crops are raised under these conditions, for with such preparation of the soil a very short dry period at any season of growth will prove very destructive to both corn and cotton. After plowing the land a good seed bed should be prepared and then fertilized well at the rate of 600 pounds per acre of a 9-3-4. We believe you will find this a good formula for second bottom land in your section of the state. Shallow surface cultivation will be advisable. On land which will make sixty-five bushels per acre we think you will find a medium eared or big-eared sort of corn more satisfactory probably than one of the prolific types. We would suggest that you plant in about 4 to 4 1-2 foot rows and leave your stalks about 12 to 15 inches apart in the row. The advisa bility of using a side application of the fertilizer formula suggested above will depend very largely on seasonal condi tions from this date forward. GROWING MILLET AFTER OATS. D. J. 8., Jacksonville, Ga., writes: I have six acres sowed to Appier oats. On four acres I plowed under the seed from six bales of cotton, and on the other two I put 800 pounds of a 9-2-7 guano, and the other day I put on 100 pounds of nitrate of soda to the acre. Will it pay me to do anything more? It has been so wet that I have not planted my corn yet. I have What ley’s Prolific. What would be a good formula? How would a 9-2-7 do for cotton, with 100 pounds of nitrate of soda as a top dressing? I expect to plant ten acres to peanuts for hogs, also some chufas and soy beans. When my oats are cut 1 intend sowing Ger man millet, Amber cujfg and peas for hay. Will this pay? Judgipgl from the preparation made for your hat crop and .the application of fertilizer referred 7 'to it will not pay you to add anything further ih the way of fertilizing, and there is little -else you can do at this season which is likely to behefit the oat crop. Cot ton seed by themselves -will not make a good fertilizer for corn as they do not contain the plant rood elernents in the right proportions. A mixture of 1,200 pounds of seed, 74)0 pounds of 16 per cent acid, and 100 pounds of mu riate of potash will give you a very good formula for corn if you use it at the rate of 500 to 700 pounds per acre. Put 500 pounds under the drill row at NO MORE SKIMMED MILK FOR OLD S. C. Dealers, However, Have Until Aug. 20th to Get Rid of Stock —New Laws (By Staff Correspondent.) JOURNAL BUREAU, Jerome Hotel. COLUMBIA. S. C., May 20.—The date after which it will be unlawful in ■ South Carolina to sell condensed skim i med milk in less than one gallon capa i city has been extended by Commls i sioner of Agriculture E. J. Watson, from June 20th to August 20th. The change is made that dealers may have full opportunity to dispose of all stock w-hich they may now have on hand. Commissioner Watson is also mailying out notices to the cotton mills that under the new child labor law there is no summer exemption clause for employing children under 12 years of age as there was under the old statue. The former law permitted a child who had attended school four months prev ious or who was an orphan or who had a widowed mother or a father who was wholly disabled to be employed in the mills during June, July and August. Some of the superintendents think that the old exemption still exists and are writing to the commissioner for permit blanks. the time of planting and use 200 pounds as a * side application. This formula should be well adapted for Whatley’s Prolific corn on land of the character mentioned in your letter. We think you have spaced your crop about right. • The formula you propose to use on cotton is a good one, and 100 pounds of nitrate of soda as a top dressing should supply the crop fairly well with the plant food required to secure a good yield. Os course, you know the yield depends very much on seasonal conditions. By all means plant peanuts. They will furnish an excellent grazing crop for your hogs in the fall, and you can finish them off advantageously by feeding for one or two weeks on corn. Chufas and soy beans are also good for hogs. Following the oats with German millet is all right, though we would prefer to use peas and a little sorghum for hay, as the millet ma tures before the peas, whereas, the sorghum and peas may be cut together with advantage. • » » SULPHATE OB’ AMMONIA. A. P. A., Bowman, Ga., writes: Will sulphate of ammonia answer for top dressing mixed with nitrate of soda, and also what per cent of nitrogen does sulphate of ammonia carry? Sulphate of ammonia will answer very well for top dressings, but is like ly to give its best results in those soils which contain a considerable quantity of lime. It is claimed by many that the various plants cultivated on the farm can take up nitrogen in the form of ammonia as rapidly as in the nitrate form. The nitrogen in sulphate of ammounia is quickly converted into but whether it be true that it be taken up directly into this form or not, it is shortly transformed into nitrate, or the same condition as the nitrogen in nitrate of soda. As you no doubt know, the nitrogen in ni trate of soda is almost immediately available to plants, for as soon as it comes in contact with sufficient mois ture in the soil to dissolve it the ni trogen is there to serve the needs of the plant. If you have used nitrate of soda as a top dressing, you have no. cloubt .nptjced. a quick response which plants inake to its application. In a rather dry season nitrate of soda would probablj) be "better used" for top dressing than sulphate of ammonia. In a wet season the chances are that sul phate of ammonia will give you as good or possibly bettei - results since it is not so likely to he leached out of the soil as the nitrate. If we were using these materials for top dress ing, we would be disposed to apply the sulphate of ammonia first and the ni trate of soda two weeks later. Two light applications of these materials will be bettef than a larger applica tion of one or both together. , I Franklin Candidates CARNESVILLE, Ga., May 22.
