AGRICULTURAL Wi fgs Education , uyfe Successful Fakminq- t & A NWEW m. Thia department will cheerfully endeavor to furniah any information. Lettera ahould be addreaaed to Dr. Andrew M. Soule, preaident State Agricultural College, Athene, Go, , 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.

Above state meet true. the state, it is generally wise to in crease the percentages of all the avail able plant food materials applied. It would appear from this review of the situation that cotton seed meal may be used as the basis or source of organic nitrogen with entire satisfac tion on all the leading and pronounc ed soil areas of the state. .. 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. • e e 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. THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA. GA., TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1912. 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. • • • PURCHASING A CANNING OUTFIT. • J. D. F., Cornelia, Ga., writes: I am thinking of buying a canning outfit. I Would like to know what kind to buy. . I want to can beans and tomatoes for the market. You can secure a small canning outfit from one of several companies. There is one manufacturer at Union City, Ga., and another at Hickory, N. C. These firms put out the various sizes and styles of canners. The cost will vary from 36 to 315. A medium sized outfit will cost you from $8 to 110 and will answer your purpose very well where you only desire to can a limited supply of beans and to matoes. If you will communicate With the Home Cannery Co., Hickory, N. C., and with Mr. George L. Eubanks, Union catalogues with prices and full infor mation concerning the same. City, Ga., they will be glad to send you DARING GIRL IN BLACK AUTO HELPS PRISONERS TO ESCAPE BUT FAILS TO SAVE HERSELF (By Aisooiated Press.) CHICAGO. June 14—Mrs. Della Law rence, a seamstress, 25 years old, aided in the escape last night from the guard house at Fort Sheridan of Frank Carr, Frank Newlin, Fred Meyer, Harold Smith and Charles C. Underwood, mem bers of troop A, Fourth cavalry. During the afternoon a woman was seen driving a black ■ automobile near the fort. Shortly after dark the five men named broke down a door, slipped past a guard, boarded a black automo bile and started toward Chicago. PART OF EYEBALL IS TRANSFERRED FROM ONE MAN’S HEAD TO ANOTHER (By Aaaoeiated Frets.) PHILADELPHIA. June 14—Blind for several years, his case given up as hopeless by physicians and surgeons. Owen Harris, a machinist, is at the Medlco-Chirurgical hospital today with his sight restored by one of the most daring operations ever attempted—the removal of the tissues from the eye of another man, and grafting them on the eye of Harris. Harris lost the sight of both, eyes in a “flareback” from the furnace in the shop in which he was working. Dr. L. Webster Fox, eye specialist of the hospital, believed there was some hope for him. “TENNESSEE WHISKY” IS MADE IN KENTUCKY (By Aisociated Preu.) , LOUISVILLE, Hy., June 14.-” Tenne ssee whisky" is now made in Kentucky: but it is still “Tennessee whisky,” not “Kentucky whisky.” The difference is in the process. Since Tennessee bos gone dry distillers of that state have let con tracts with Kentucky concerns to make their liquor according to a local dis tiller as there is a continued demand for what is known to the trade as “Ten nessee whisky.” The process is the same as in making Kentucky whisky until the materials go to the cistern room, where ■they are run through charcoal made from the maple tree, the purpose being to elim inate the heavier oils and give it its characteristic flavor. CLAIMS MAN’S GUNS DELAYED U. S. MAIL (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) VALDOSTA, Ga., June 15.-A. £ Swift, an aged citizen of Barretts, was given a commitment hearing before United States Commissioner Franklin on Friday and was bound over to answer before Judge Speer to obstructing the passage of the mail. It is said that some time ago things did not go to suit Mr. Swift at Barretts, so he got out his gun and started to regulating them. The postmaster claims that Swift fol lowed him from the train, where he had been after the mail, and that re raised such a disturbance in the postoffice that he could not put up the mail. The de fendant’s side of the story will come out in the trial before Judge Speer. SOLICITOR J. W. WISE IN CONGRESS RACE (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) THOMASTON, Ga..

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. aaa oo White Star Buggy VV V Now Sold Direct to Consumer At V A Very Important Announcement —Read !
