FERTILIZERS FOR GEORGIA TYPE SOILS
There ar* over one hundred type* of
•oil In Georgia. From this It appears
that the problem of adapting fertilisers
to the needs of these soils and the crops
to grow on them is a question of grave
importance to the farmer. Naturally,
the more nearly he can adapt the fertil
isers applied to the natural deficiencies
in the soil the better results he is likely
to obtain in the way of increased crop
yields. Anything caluculated to throw
light on thia important subject, there
fore. is of interest to all who own or
operate land. It is manifestly impossible
to undertake a discussion of all the soil
types in a short paper, and in fact it
would not be possible to do this with
any degree of intelligence because of the
very recent organisation of investigation
al work along this line. It is possible,
however, to offer some generalisations
concerning the deficiencies tn a few of
our best defined soil areas.
The first extensive area met with is
the sandy tract found in the south and
southeastern portion of the state. The
soil here varies from an almost pure
sand to a sandy loam, containing in some
instances, especially when first reclaimed
from a virgin state, some vegetable mat
ter. As long as the vegetable matter
lasts these soils are quite productive;
when it gives out they become more
subject to drought an dto leaching than
formerly, and the character of growth
is reduced, showing the early exhaustion
of the supply of available nitrogen from
the land.
Owing to the leachy nature of these
soils an organic type of nitrogen can
often be used to the best advantage, es
pecially as they produce long season
crops under proper cultivation, such as
corn and Sea Island cotton. Good for
mulas to use on these lands will con
tain from 10 to 12 per cent of phosphorip
acid. I to 5 per cent of nitrogen, and 6
to 10 per cent of potash. It would not
be possible to make such high-grade fer
tiliser as this except where the best ma
terials were used but since a part of the
nitrogen wiU be supplier as a top dress
ing. cotton seed meal will be found a
fine basis for the formula used on soils
o fthis type. It has the advantage of
yielding up its nitrogen with sufficient
rapidity, and yet since it must undergo
fermentation before It becomes available
to the plant, it is not likely to be lost
from the asoll before the plant has an
opportunity to utilise it-
The next type of soil met with which Is
more or less distinctive in character is
that found below the fall line. This
roughly speaking occupies a territory ly
ing south of a line drawn from the vi
cinity of Augusta to the vicinity of Co
lumbus. The soils through this region
vary greatly in composition and it is
difficult to prescribe for them. There are
lime sinks through this region which also
contains what is known as the red peb
ble soil. Some of these soils are under
laid with red clay but it does not pre
dominate to MV considerable extent, and
many of them would on that account be
clawed as sandy loams. These soils
when fresh grow crops of vigorous char
acter. but as they become depleted of the
available elements of plant food through
continuous cultivation, they need liberal
fertilisation
Formulas adapted to the needs of
these soils will vary much in the con
tent of plant food. but ordinarily
about 10 per cent of phosphorus. 3.5
to 4 per cent of nitrogen, and 5 to 7
per cent of potash will meet the needs
of moat crops. provided a sufficient
amount of plant food is applied in a
commercial form and the soil has been
properly prepared to receive the seed.
On this type of soil organic nitrogen,
such as that provided by cotton seed
meal, will be found very satisfactory,
and probably one es the cheapest
sources of supply of this essential ele
ment available to farmers.
The next area of soil to which at
tention should be directed is of wide
extent and runs from a northeast to a
southwest direction across the state. It
is composed chiefly of disintegrated
granite rock and may be characterised
as one of the moat Important clay
belts of the state. These soils contain
a little sand, but for the most part
are heavy in texture, having the ad
hesive and retentive qualities charge
tertistic of most clay lands. Some of
the areas in thi sreglon are gray in
color, due possibly to the leaching out
of the iron. The subsoil is generally
of red clay. Naturally these soils are
among the strongest in the state, are
capable of being built up quickly, and
produce large crops for an indefinite
period when skillfully handled.
These soils may be fertilized to ad
vantage with formulas containing from
1 to 9 per cent of phosphoric acid. 2
to 3 per cent of nitrogen, and > to 4
per cent of potash. Formulas of this
grade may be easily prepared by using
cotton seed meal as a basts. They
will ferment the organic nitrogen add
ed to them in this form with sufficient
rapidity to meet the needs of all save
truck crops, and hence in this section
which comprises one of the greatest
cotton producing areas in the state, the
meal may be used with the greatest
advantage and tn preference to the seed
as a source of nitrogen.
The last area to which attention Is
directed occupies the northwest section
of the state. In thia region there are
Hmestone areas outcropping from time
to time, and the soils are often char
acterized by evidences of very con
siderable natural fertility.
In this region an 8-2-3 or an 8-3-4
formula will be found satisfactory in
most instances. Os course, on all the
areas ret erred to there are exceptions
to the suggestions made, and it might
be that on some types of soil even tn
northwest Georgia, a 10-3-5 would be
found more satisfactory than any other
which could be used. Ai the per cent

.. NEW INVESTOR SEEKS AID.
E. L. G., Ochlocknee, Ga., writes: I
have returned to Georgia and purchased
a farm. There are six acres of cowpeas
about six inches high. It is my inten
tion to plow them under later and plant
to Irish potatoes. Do you think the
soil, already sandy, would become too
loose, or that the vines would interfere
with tillage? What is the best time to
turn the peas under? I intend to sow
the same field to alfalfa this fall. Do
you know of any book on the subject that
would be useful?
It is pleasing to know that you have
located in Georgia and that you are
gratified with the opportunities which
the state offers along agricultural lines.
The cowpeas to which you refer may
be turned under with safety when the
lower leaves begin to turn yellow and
the pods show a tinge of the same color
on the lower ends. As fast as you turn
them under you should roll the ground
to set in motion the capillary movement
of the soil water toward the surface. Af
ter rolling, harrow Immediately to pre
serve a dust mulch, and thus prevent
the escape of moisture directly Into the
air. The plowing under of cowpeas tpr
Irish potatoes is all right, provided you
can get the land plowed early enough to
let It lay out for two or three weeks be
fore planting the potatoes. We believe
if you can put the potatoes In about
the middle of July to the first of August,
that you will find the crop will' mature
easily before frost. In planting second
crop Irish potatoes, It is best to use
medium-sized uncut seed. The great dif
ficulty with the second crop is to secure
a good stand. Cowpeas would tend to
lighten sandy soli becase of the large
amount of carbonic add gas which is
supposed to be generated and freed In
the soil by the life activities of this
plant, but If you compact the soli with
a roller, we think you will overcome
any difficulty In this direction.
Alfalfa is best seeded in Georgia in
the fall of the year on land which has
been made unusually rich by applications
of yard manure or green lugumlnous
crops ployed under. You should apply
not less than two to four tons of lime
per acre. Use the finely ground rock.
Os course, you may use the caustic Mme
if you ean secure it cheaper. Only half
as much caustic lime need be used as
the finely ground rock. You should put
the lime on at least two weeks before
seeding the alfalfa, and use it as a top
application, spreading it uniformly over
the soil and working in with a harrow.
Apply not less than I.<WO pounds of a
10-3-7 fertilizer, and sow 20 pounds of re
cleaned American seed about October 1 to
15. The best book on cultivation of alfal
fa with which we are familiar is “Alfalfa
In America," by Wing.
SEEDING HAIRY VETCH ON SANDY
LAND.
J. J. L., Jonesville, 8. C-. writes: 1
have bought a sandy land farm, and I
want some information in regard to
sawing hairy vetch. I have some seed
left over from last season. It Is safe
to sow them?
It is problematical as to what the
outcome of seeding hairy vetch at thia
season of the year In Georgia would
be. We have not made any experi
ments along this line, because we have
found the cowpea and the soy bean and
other crops of that character much
j more desirable to grow In the summer.
' You can plant cowpeas In this state as
late as the 15th of July to the Ist of
August and still make a fair crop In
the average year. Early maturing varie
ties of soy beans could easily be plant
ed as late as July 15, though prob
ably this crop would be better planted
not later than the first of July. Soy
beans may be planted rather late in the
season where one only desires to dvel
op a large crop for the improvement
of the soil and not for grain. This
crop does not make grain to any appre
ciable extent in north Georgia, but in
your locality would mature a consider
able amount of grain if planted early
in the season.
The hairy vetch ean be carried over
and sowed, next fall, provided you keep
them free from weevil or injury by
any other class of Insects. We are
inaugurating some experiments in the
seeding of one of the native vetches
and ine Oregon and hairy vetsch, apd
burr clover and crimson clover here
on the college farm this summer. W
Intend to make seedings several times
during the year to determine just what
results may be anticipated from thes
various crops. We do not think there
is any considerable amount of infor
mation available along this line at
the present time, and from what experi
ence we have had with the hairy vetch
are rather disposed to advise against
seeding it until late August or early
September.

MONEY CROPS FOR GEORGIA
FARMERS.
P. F. C., Fltsgerald, Ga., writes: I
would like some suggestions from you
as to how the farmers in this section
could plant money crops other than
cotton. For instance, could they raise
peanuts for market, and would it not
be necessary to have ample warehouse
facilities? Farmers can raise almost
anything down here, as we are pecu
liarly favored in regard to soil and
climate, but the cash market problem
is a serious one, as it seems that cot
ton Is the only commodity which
brings the actual cash.
There is no reason why the people
in your section of the state should not
be able to diversify sufficiently to en
able them to reduce the cotton acreage
and still maintain the earning power
of their farms. Peanuts should be an
excellent crop for them to grow as
climatic conditions are favorable to
their cultivation. The peanut, as you
know, likes a rather sandy soil. You
should use from 1,000 to 2,000 pounds
of lime per acre with a formula run
ning high in phosphorus and potash,
but rather low in nitrogen. The pea
nut is a legume and will gather its
supply of nitrogen from the air under
ordinary conditions. I think you would
not find difficulty in disposing of pea
nuts to advantage. It is likely that
somebody in Fitxgerald would have to
go where there was storehouse facili
ties for handling them and pay the
farmers cash. When he accumulated
enough he could ship to consuming cen
ters. I believe if the farmers were
encouraged in raising peanuts in any
considerable numbers that there would
be no trouble in disposing of the crop.

GEORGIANS HELPED TIE UP
NEW COMPENSATION BILL
Hardy Teat Worked Against It.
Both Georgia Senators
Fought It
BT XALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. June 14.—The
action of the house judiciary commit
tee yesterday in voting to indefinitely
postpone action on the workmen’s com
pensation bill is hailed with delight
by a large host of labor folks who
have been in Washington waging war
on> the measure. Hardy Teat, of Atlan
ta, representing the Railroad Train
men, has been unrelenting in his op
position to the bill. He has been on
the job in Washington for weeks, and
his work has been very effective. The
bill recently passed the senate over the
opposition of Senators Bacon and
Smith.
The latter led the fight on it, and
his efforts have been generally com
mended by the railroad employes of
Georgia, who regard the measure as
one of the most vicious of unfair leg
islation • that has been attempted in
years. It is contended that the com
pensation measure originated with the
railroad claim agents and had the sup
port of all the railroads, which are
anxious to nullify the employes' lia
bility act, which was recently sustain
ed in the supreme court. The bill is a
compensation measure in name only,
and its enactment would operate to the
injury of the railroad employes.
This is true of those raised in North
Carolina and Virginia with which I am
acquainted. Os course, if one farmer
raised 100 bushels of peanuts buyers
are not coming to Investigate a project
of this kind, but if 100 farmers were
to raise 500 to 1,000 bushels each, then
the buyers will quickly come to the
source of supply. Moreover, the pea
nut may be used as the basis of pro
ducing pork, and certainly there is a
good market for pork products in all
parts of Georgia at remunerative prices
and for cash as well. The packing
houses in Atlanta would gladly pay you
for a good many thousand hogs, and
these can be raised on peanuts and
other grazing crops as cheaply as in
any other section of the United States.
There is no reason why the sweet
potato crop should not be grown on a
much more extensive scale than is now
done. There is in practically all
markets of the state a dearth of sweet
potatoes at all except possibly one sea
son of the year—the late summer and
early fall. The potato is not hard to
store. It may be gathered satisfactori
ly and the cost of the equipment need
ed is very modest indeed. Why not
establish a cannery and use the potato
as the basis of the business?
In your section trucking can be prac
ticed to good advantage. You might
plant cabbage, cauliflower, beets, col
lards, onions, spinach and other hardy
crops in the eacly fall. They should
then be ready for shipment in January
or February at remunerative prices.
The market is practically bare of fresh
vegetables at this season of the year
throughout the United States.
Your people should also raise more
grain crops. Winter oats may be
grown with grsat advantage in Ben
Hill county. They will take the place
of corn very acceptably. You might
also Increase the acreage in corn with
advantage. Why not grow more hay
crops, as crimson clover and the
vetches in the fall? Oats and vetch
also make a good hay crop, and cow
peas, soy beans, sorghum and millet
also produce hay of excellent quality.
If the farmers of your section will
diversify their crops and increase the
number of live stock carried on their
farms they will have a surplus of beef,
milk and butter and pork to sell. The
poultry Industry is greatly neglected,
yet poultry and poultry products bring
cash readily in practically all markets
with which I am ‘'acquainted. What
jou will have to do is to get the good
people of your community together and
talk these propositions into them by
showing them what it means to their
financial independence to diversify their
crops and not depend exclusively on
cotton. You may rest assured that we
will be glad to assist you in every
possible way through the State College
of Agriculture.

PREPARING A 12-3-8 FORMULA.
8. E. P., Oak Hill, Ga., writes: I have
16 per cent acid phosphate, muriate of
potfish and cotton seed meal, and want
to know in what proportions to mix
so as to make a 13-3-6 fertilizer. How
would this do to put beside my corn as'
a second application?
It is not possible to prepare a 12-3-6
fertilizer from the materials mentioned
in your letter. A ton of a 12-3-6 formu
la would call for 240 pounds of available
phosphoric acid, 60 pounds of available
nitrogen and 130 pounds of available pot
ash. It would require 1,500 pounds of 16
per cent acid phosphate to supply the
phosphoric acid, 1,000 pounds of cotton
seed meal containing 6 per cent of nitro
gen, and 240 pounds of muriate of potash.
Your total mixture would, therefore, ap
proximate 2,740 pounds. If you think it
desirable to use a formula containing 12
per cent of phosphorus and 6 per cent of
potash, it would be necessary to use an
other form of nitrogen. Sulphate of am
monia would answer well for this pur
pose as it carries about 21 per cent of
available nitrogen, and 260 pounds of it
would therefore carry the equivalent of
the nitrogen contained in 1,000 pounds of
cotton seed meal. You should not con
clude from this that cotton seed meal
is not regarded as a desirable form of
material to use in side applications, but
as it is not so rich in available nitrogen,
one can not use it as a source of this
material where the desire is to prepare
an unusually high-grade formula. Os
course, if you make a mixture of 2,740
pounds, as suggested, and divide it into
six equal parts, you would be using about
the same proportion of plant food that
you would get from a mixture of 1,500
pounds of acid phosphate. 240 pounds of
muriate of potash and 260 pounds of sul- ,
phate of ammonia.

SPARTANBURG, S. C„ June 14—The
directors of the Greenville, Anderson
and Spartanburg Railway company, the
electric line projected by J. B. Duke,
decided today to follow the Greer route,
which parallels the Southern railway,
in building between Spartanburg and
Greenville. There was intense compe
tition between the people of Greer and
the people of Reidsville to obtain the
line, and both offered rights of way and
other inducements. Reideville is six
miles from the nearest railway. The
Greer route was chosen because it is
three miles shorter, has less engineer
ing difficulties and offers more business.
