want to mix my own fertilizer, and
want to use cotton seed and stable
manure. My land is a sandy loam with
l ed »pebbles. It grows a fine cotton
weed, but does not fruit well. I would
like to know what kind of materials
to use and how to mix. them.
If you have any considerable quan
tity of yard manure, it will be best
for you to apply it under tlte drill
row* at the time of planting your crop
.rather than attempt to compost it with
cotton seed and other materials. You
should use as a minimum at least two
tons of * yard manure under the drill
row. Of course, compost may be pre
pared in various ways. You may take,
for instance, 1,000 pounds of well-rot
ted yard manure, 500 pounds of cotton
seed, 300 pounds of high-grade acid
phosphate, and 200 pounds of cotton
seed meal. This formula thoroughly
mixed together and allowed to stand
for a few days where it ill be kept
moist so as to prevent fire-Tanging, but
not exposed to' the rain, where it will
be ashed or leached, may be used to
very good advantage. You should ap
ply it at the rate of about one ton
per acre. A half ton may give you
fairly good results, but we think this is
a light application unless your land
is very well supplied with vegetable
matter and in a higher state of culti
vation than the average farm land of
the state. Ordinarily the farmer can
dispose of his seed to the mill to bet
ter advantage than by using it as fer
tilizer. A ton of seed only contains
about $11 worth of plant food, while
a ton of high-grade cotton seed meal
contains at least $25 worth. If you pre
fer you may make a compost of the
seed as follow’s: 40 bushels of seed,
760 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 50
pounds of muriate of potash. Apply
at the rate of one-third to one-half of
this mixture per acre.

FERTILIZING WINTER-SOWN OATS.
R. K. -R.. Talbotton, Ga., writes: Last
spring a tw’o-acre patch of land was
about ruined from being plowed too
wet It is now planted in oats and
vetch, but the oats are inclined to turn
red and seem to be at a standstill. The
vech seems to be doing very well.
Would it help any to broadcast cotton
seed meal now? The seed cost me
$10.40 a ton and it, behooves me to
get something from it.
may not have been in an available form,
and favors the development of certain
forms of bacteria essential to the wel
fare of growing crops. It may also sup
ply calcium to lands in which this ele
ment is deficient. Calcium is especially
important to such crops as the legume«.
If we were applying lime to land in
tended for corn and cotton, our thought
would be to use one ton per acre of
the finely ground raw rock, scattering
it over the plowed ground as soon as
practicable. In the spring the land
should be disked, plowed and bedded
after one of several methods and then
the fertilizer should be applied under
neath the drill row at the time of plant
ing the corn and cotton. All of it
should not be applied at this time in
our judgment, but a part reserved for
use as a side application. By this meth
od of applying the fertilizer it is not
brought in contact with the lime and
no injury will be done the fertilizer
i through the transformation of the nitro
gen it might contain into a form likely
to escape into the air before plants can
utilize it. The analysis of fertilizer to
use under corn and cotton will vary
with the character of the soil. On sandy
land for corn we would be disppeed to
use 10 per cent of phosphorus, 3-5
per cent of nitrogen and 5 to 6 per cent
of potash, and for cotton, 9 per cent
of phosphorus, 3 per cent of nitrogen
and 4 per cent of potash .

TANKAGE AS A NITROGEN CARRIER
C. S. B., Atlanta, Ga.. writes: I am
figuring on fertilizer for my 180-acre
farm. I am offered tankage as a sub
stitute for cotton seed meal on account
of the high price of the latter. The tank
age is guaranteed to contain 6.5 per cent
of ammonia which I figure to be 5.3
per cent of nitrogen, and also to contain
8 to 10 per cent of phosphoric acid. Is
there any objection to using tankage as
a base in place of cotton seed meal pro
vided the price is acceptable? The ni
trate of soda offered is guaranteed at
18 per cent ammonia, which I figure to
be 14.76 per cent nitrogen. Is not thi»s
low? Is not tankage very variable?
in late Irish potatoes, following an early
oat crop, and had in mind broadcast
ing before plowing the mixture of
Thomas phosphate and muriate of pot
ash, but not the nitrate of soda. What
do you think of my plan?
It would be impossible to determine
without a sample to examine at first
hand what the trouble with your oats
may be, but from your description it
would seem that they are rusting. This
would indicate that they are not of a
rust-proof type. In this section it is
only advisable to plant, say, the Texas
Rust Proof, the Appier or some other
of the. strains which have shown abil
ity to withstand this trouble. A light
application of nitrate of soda, say 50
pounds per acre, might be of benefit
to your oats. It is ordinarily not ood
practice to put nitrate of soda on in the
fall, but the condition of the crop
would indicate that something is wrong
and that it needs stimulation, and the
nitrate of soda will furnish a little ni
trogen to reinvigorate the crop and en
courage growth more quickly than any
other form of material j t ou can apply.
The cotton seed meal would be excel
lent to use under the oats, but as it
is an organic source of nitrogen, we
think it is best as a rule to incorporate
it with the soil, and it will not act so
readily as a crop stimulant as nitrate
of soda, which becomes available so
much more quickly.

METHODS OF APPLYING LIME.
F. R. JP., Moultrie, Ga., writes: Where
lime is being used on land prepared for
the cultivation of cotton and corn should
it be used alone or in connection with
other fertilizer? If fertilizens are used,
what analysis should they show?
Lime will not take the place of fertil
izer on the average Georgia soils. Lime,
as you probably know, is a soil amend
ment and corrective. It overcomes
acidity in the soil, helps to set free sup
plies of phosphorous and potash which
Tankage, as you no*doubt know, con
sists of the refuse from slaughter
houses and is a general mixture. Its
composition is very variable on that ac
count. It sometimes contains a consid
erable amount of bone, and is then often
called bone tankage. As a rule, the fat
and gelatine are removed from tankage
by treating with super-heated steam,
and after drying it is ground and put on
the market. Tankage contains ordinar
ily about 5 per cent of nitrogen, though
it may run as high as 10 per cent, and
from 6 to 15 per cent of phosphoric acid.
The material upon which you fyave
been quoted prices contains, as you have
suggested, 5.3 per cent of nitrogen, or
at the rate of 106 pounds per ton. A
grade of cotton seed meal running 6.18
per cent of nitrogen would contain 135.8
pounds of nitrogen, about 40 pounds of
phosphoric acid and about 30 pounds
of potash. While tankage will become
available somewhat more quickly than
cotton se.ed meal, there is not much dif
ference in this respect, and the choice
of these two materials as a source of
nitrogen would be based almost alto
gether on the relative price you Would
have to pay per ton for available nitro
gen, phosphoric acid and potash. We
would not hesitate to use either of these
materials as the basis of a formula for
ordinary farm crops in Georgia.
The nitrate of soda referred to con
tains about 14.8 per cent of nitrogen
as you have -figured out, and is rather
low in this element as a good grade runs
about 15.S per cent.

VALUE OF THOMAS PHOSPHATE.
A. G. J., Augusta, Ga., writes: I
would like to know what results you
have had in . the use of Thomas phos
phate. I am thinking of planting ten
or fifteen acres in cantaloupes and
had in mind a mixture of three-fourths
Thomas phosphate and one-fourth mu
riate of potash, broadcasting it on the
land this winter at the rate of 500 or
600 pounds per acre, and then at plant
ing time broadcasting 200 pounds of
nitrate of soda. I have also been
thinking of planting four or five acres
Peaches take more Potash
from the soil than any other fruit crop.
It has been conclusively proven that flavor and
shipping quality are not secured unless there is an
adequate supply of
POTASH
The best growers use from ioo to 200 pounds of Muriate of Potash
annually on their orchards in addition to the phosphate. The applica
tion of mineral fertilizers should begin when the trees are planted, so as
to insure strong wood and early bearing, continuous fruiting and
longer bearing period.
Most peach orchards starve to death at a time when they should
be giving their very best returns. Feed them a bal
anced ration and reap the profits.

Only fair results were obtained from
our experiments in the use of Thomas
phosphate. The season in which we
applied this to our corn was exceed
ingly dry and the yields were not as
good as they would have been in a
more favorable season as to* rainfall.
Judging from our experience on the
farm, we would probably be ’forced
to favor the use of the acid phos
phate at the present time. We are in
clined to think thq Thomas phosphate
will give better results on soils con
taining more vegetable matter than the
average farm lands of Georgia. We are
disposed to think that It would be bet
ter for you to use acid phosphate and
muriate of potash rather than Thomas
phosphate and muriate of potash for
cantaloupes. We offer this suggestion
On the theory that the phosphorus in
acid phosphate will become more quick
ly available in the soil than that in
Thomas phosphate, and especially will
this be true in our judgment on lands
suitable for the production of truck
crops, such as cantaloupes. Of course,
you understand that carriers of phos
phorus and potassium may be applied
to the soil some time in advance of the
crop without serious danger of the
available food being leached out of the
land. It would not be good practice,
however, to make this application too
far ahead, especially on lands which
do not contain any considerable amount
of vegetable matter. Your idea of us
ing 600 pounds of phosphoric acid and
muriate of potash in the proportions
mentioned in your letter under canta
loupes we think is a good one. We are
inclined to think that you would find
it good practice to apply some organic
nitrogen under the drill row derived
from the blood,' or cotton seed meal,
and then use the nitrate of soda as a
top dressing in one or two applications
as the exigencies of the season would
seem to render advisable.
We believe you will find the formula
advised for cantaloupes quite as satis
factory for Irish potatoes, if not more
so, than the one your propose using.

FERTILIZING GEORGIA TYPE SOILS.
W. A. D., Tennille, Ga., writes: I in
tend to plant a field of thirty acres or
more in corn and fcotton. This field has
to the natural eye two distinct characters
of soil. Kindly inform me as to the cost
of having soil analyzed, and let me
know how to proceed in order to have
the analysis made. I wish to make good
crcps on this land and would like to
know the best method of cultivation nd
fertilization.
VALUE OF DAIRY FARMING
TO THE SOIL FERTILITY
The Dairy Is One of the Best
Methods of Preserving
the Soil
The cost of having a sample of soil
analyzed will probably vary from $10
to $15, depending on the completeness
of the analysis which you desire to have
made. Ordinarily we hardly think it
is necessary to more than determine the
nitrogen, phosphorus, potash and lime
in the soil. The degree of acidity should
also be determined. It is not expensive
to have an analysis of this kind made.
The colleeg can not undertake to make
analysis of this type, however, as we
are required by the appropriations given
us through the state to undertake a
general survey of the state and 9 study
of the soils of Georgia. We have studied
the qualities of a number of the type
soils and have test plats now estab
lished on some fourteen or fifteen acres
throughout the state from which we
are securing data destined to be of
the greatest possible value to the farm
ers of Georgia. We hope to secure an
Increased appropriation from the next
legislature for this Important work and
extend the scope of our survey very
materially. You understand that we are
In the closest personal sympathy with
your desire for information, and would
be glad to serve you Jn any possible
way, but I feel that you will appreciate
at once the situation in which we are
placed with reference to making analy
ses for individual citizens. If you care
to send us two samples of the soil on
your farm with a description of the
physical characteristics of both, I think
we can give you advice with reference
to the management and fertilization of
these lands which will be helpful.

SUGGESTIONS ON CULTIVATING
SUGAR CANE.
S. J. M., Manor, Ga., writes: I am
planning to raise some sugar cane, and
would like to know the best fertilizer
for the crop in question. I think there
is a fair supply of humus in the soil, as
in October I turned under a heavy
crop of grass, cornstalks and beggar
weeds. I also have a large pile of turf
and straw. Which would you advise me
to use, lime or potash, to rot the litter?
Which is the best for cane, cottoh seed
meal or nitrate of soda?
No doubt the land on which you desire
to grow sugar cane is quite sandy,
though you do not say so. If this is the
case, it is not likely to be very well
supplied with vegetable matter, and if
you have incorporated the litter in the
soil to a goqd depth by proper plowing,
-it will decay in sufficient time to put
the ground in good condition for the
planting of the cane. We would not
advise the use of the lime on this land
for the purpose of reducing the litter.
We think you will find an application
of 9-bout 600 pounds of high grade acid
phosphate, 100 pounds of cotton seed
meal containing not less than 6.18 per
cent of nitrogen, 300 pounds of nitrate
of soda and 100 pounds of sulphate of
potash a desirable formula to use on
sugar cane. This, you will observe,
makes an application of 1,100 pounds
per acre and the mixture would analyze
sometehing like 8 per cenete of avail
able phosphorus, 4.5 per ceneet of
nitrogen, and 4.5 per cent of potash. It
would supply to each acre 86 pounds of
available phosphoric acid, 50 pounds of
nitrogen and 50 pounds of potash. Ex
periments made in your section of the
state indicate that this would not be
too large an amount of fertilizer to ap
ply to a crop which makes such a heavy
draft on the soil fertility as sugar cane.
We think about half of the formula
should be put under the drill row at
the time of planting and the balance
as a side application some time in late
May or early June.
It is interesting to note the difference
various kinds of farming have upon the
fertility of the soil. Just now I am
thinking of a farm that was one of the
richest of any in this part of the coun
try. Located where once oak and hard
woods of various*' kinds grew, after it
was cleared off, it produced everything
man could ask for in the line of
grains, fruits and vegetables. For a
number of years the owner kept cows
and followed general farming. The
prices butter brought during the days
of the Civil war made th e farmer rich,
as farmers go.
But he had a great liking for fruit.
Fruit did well on his land, and he set
out two orchards, both of which yielded
well. Then he sold off most of the cows
and devoted himself mainly to fruit
growing. That was the beginning of
the downfall of his land. The soil be
gan to fun down nad today ;s one of the
poorest farms anywhere around. This
last season very little in the way Of
hay or grain was produced, and as the
orchard has been neglected of late years
even that brings in very little money.
Now, if th e owner of that farm had
kept his cows and his dairy business,
his farm would still be a good one. In
fact, if somebody would get hold of the
place and do a careful dairy business
on it again, it would not be many
years before the soil fertility would
come back and the farm would be a
source of good income. The very next
farm to this is today so poor in conse
quence of bad management that, as
the owner once told me, "it would not
in phosphorus and it is desired to se
cure quick results, we would De inclined
to recommend the use of the acid pnos-
phate. Where trie soil contains a con
siderable quantity of vegetable matter,
we are disposed to thin* the ground

GROWING IRISH AND SWEET PO
TATOES .
R. B. S., Sylvania, Ga., writes: I
wish to experiment with Irish and sweet
potatoes, and would aprpeciate very
much any information you can give me
as to the kind to plant, land best suit
ed, fertilizer and amount and method
of cultivation.
* * *
ACID VERSUS ROCK PHOSPHATE.
W. A. C., Jacksonville, Ga., writes: I
mix my own fertilizer and have been
using acid phosphate, but am thinking
of using raw rock phosphate, and would
like your opinion as to which is the best
to use. ’
The advisability of using raw ground
phosphate rock in the place of acid phos
phate depends very much on the nature
of the crop you desire to fertilize and
the condition of your soil. We are in
clined to think you will secure the best
results from acid phosphate if the soil
is low in available plant food and you
desire to use this material under what
may be termed a rather short seasoned
crop. If you are in position to apply
the raw phosphate to land containing
large amount of vegetable matter which
has been incorporated therewith
through the plowing under of green
crops or liberal applications of yard
manure, you may anticipate fair results
from its use. Of course, you understand
that the raw rock contains very consid
erable quantities of lime which it is
thought to exert a wholesome influence
in the soil. Acid phosphate on the oth
er hand contains about 1,000 pounds of
gypsum per ton, arid this Is no doubt
of some benefit to n\uch of our land.
Where land ie quite markedly deficient
Select for Irish potatoes a good clay
loam which contains a fair proportion
of sand. The crop revels in a soil well
supplied with vegetable matter, but gives
its best results on land open enough
to drain fairly well. Too sandy soils
are likely to suffer from drought caus
ing the size and yield of potatoes to
be unsatisfactory. Get all the leaves,
litter and rich woods earth you can
and spread on the land intended for
the crop. Plow it under as deeply as pos
sible. Of course, if you have a heavy
clay subsoil, it wifi not be good prac
tice to bring too much of this to the
surface. Shallower plowing would be
preferable, therefore, on land which has
not ’been deeply broken in the past.
Leave the land in as rough condition
as possible so it will absorb moisture
and be pulverized by the freezes lof
winter. Just as early in the spring as
practicable disk and work down a fine
seed bed, open up furrows eight inches
deep and about three feet apart, and
mix any compost available with the
subsoil. If you can secure two tons of
this material per acre so much the
better, and larger quantities will prove
still more satisfactory. Put about 500
pounds of a fertilizer under the drill
row containing 9 per cent of phospheric
acid, 4 per cent of organic nitrogen de
rived from cotton seed meal and sul
phate of ammonia, and 9 per cent of
potash derived from sulphate of pot
ash. Mix the compost and fertilizer well
together by means of a bull tongue.
Run through the furrow once or twice,
and cut the potatoes two eyes to the
piece, and plant about sixteen inches
to two feet apart in the drill row. Cover
to a depth of several inches by means
of a plow. As the potatoes begin to
spread rake off the top of the furrow,
and later on in the season throw the
earth toward the potatoes keeping them
well banked wtih soil. Spray so as to
protect from infestation with bugs. Se
lect the Red Bliss or Irish Cobbler as
these are two standard sorts for culti
vation in Georgia and are early matur
ing varieties and find ready sale on
the market. We have had excellent suc
cess in raising Irish potatoes by this
method.
Sweet potatoes should be planted on
sandy soil. We have often planted this
crop after- an early crop of Irish po
tatoes have been taken off the ground.
The best quality of sweet potatoes are
developed on a sandier type of soil than
that best adapted for Irish potatoes.
Sweet potatoes should, of course, be
bedded out and the slips set in rows
about three feet wide and twenty-four
inches apart in the drill. Fertilize as
for Irish potatoes, only use about 700
pounds per acre. A little vegetable mat
ter under the drill row for sweet pota
toes will be found very helpful. Culti
vate both crops frequently and keep
free from weeds. Later in the season
when the tops spread and develop suffi
ciently lay by until harvest.

grow white beans any more. I don’t
know what I would do if it were not
for the white daisies. My cows would
go hungry!”
But the next farm beyond that is be
ing brought up every year by an ener
getic young farmer who has recently
come into possession of it, and who be
gan barehanded and without much ex
perience, by using wise business meth
ods. The fact of it is, dairy farming
is the best way to back up the soil
that any man has so far devised, for it
is nature’s own method.
Some soils can stand to be robbed
longer than others. Farms last for
years and year their owners plow and
harrow and reap and gather into their
barns year after year recklessly, seem
ing never to stop to think that there
must come a time when the bank will
be overdrawn. And failure will follow
the robbery. If we would stop to think
that our farm lands are not like the
current of a river, flowing on just so
forever ana forever, but rathe like
geat reservoirs that can be pumped dry
if the engines are kept going long
^enough, we would pay some attention
to this great fact of nature and see to
it that something is put back to main
tain the goodness of our places.
What do cows do for soil fertility?
They take hay, grain and other stuff
produced on the farm and turn it back
into the kind of material it was at
first, with very little deducted from it.
If we need potash, we find it in the
manure; and so, too, with phosphorus
to a lesser degree. And these are the
things most farms need, and many of
them need sorely. By feeding differ
ent kinds of feed we may make
value of the manure our cows produce
richer. Careful computations show
that every day a cow gives back to
the farm from 8 to '10 cents’ worth of,
fe 'tility.
Not only do do the cows help the farm
directly, but they make it possible for
us to grow hogs and to keep poultry
to better advantage. Today the man
who grows a good cow is r puolic ben
efactor. Cows are scarce all over the
country. In many places they are not
to be had at any price. Poor cows
there always will be on any market.
Dairy ’farming gives us a chance to
raise calves and make them into cows.
The farm which keeps cows ought
not to have a foot of waste land. If
it can be used for notning else, it
