To be Certain of Your Crop
be Sure of Your Fertilizer
N EXT in importance to thoroughbred seed and proper
cultivation, comes the fertilizer. The right fertilizer,
mixed in the right way, composed of the right constit
uents, under the right formula for your particular crop is abso
lutely essential to the largest possible crop production and
biggest profits.
ROYSTER FERTILIZERS
Founded on MERIT—Based on QUALITY are backed
by a reputation worth hundreds of thousands of dollars which
would be extensively damaged if a single lot of fertilizers of
inferior quality were put out under the Rqyster Brand. The
ract that more fanners use Royster Brands than any other
one independent brand and that eight large plants in six states
barely fill the demand, is pretty strong evidence that Royster
Fertilizers are right in every respect.

SEEDING OATS IN JANUARY
THE NATIONAL CORN SHOW
HELD IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Great Exposition Starts Jan,
27 and Lasts Until Feb, 8,
Many States Represented
L. D„ Fitzgerald, Ga., writes: I wish
to plant about fifty acres in oats. The
soil is a sandy loam with clay subsoil.
We wish to plant this winter and want
to know how they should be planted and
what kind of fertilizer to use. Would
it be ^profitable to use cotton seed as
fertilizer? Is it best to put the fertil
izer on when we Slant or Aait until
spring?
It is now very late to plant winter
oats where one expects to secure the
best results. Of course, this crop is
often planted later than this and with
success, but* much depends on seasonal
conditions which follow. Our experience
has, been that the early rooted oat
crop withstands the winter better and
yields a larger'return in the spring. If
vre were 1 situated &uch as you are no
effort would be spared to plant- these
oats at once. Use either the Appier
or Texas Rust Proof for seed. Use two
bushels per acre so as to provide plenty
of seed to insure a uniform stand. Apply
as a minimum 300 pounds of an 8-2-3
formula per acre. There is no reason
why cotton seed meal should not form
the basis of this mixture. We would
advise, however, against the use of cot
ton seed as a fertilizer under oats. Cot
ton seed at most will only fuVnish you
about $11 worth of plant food per ton,
and you can sell ’or exchange the seed
and secure a larger proportionate
amount of plant food in the meal than
will be obtained through using-the seed.
It is a simple matter- to provide a for
mula of the character suggested using-
cotton seed meal as the basis. In the
spring we would use 50 to 100 pounds
of nitrate of soda on the oats, depend
ing on the degree of vigor they show.
>.itrate of soda should be put on shortly
after growth starts. The land intended
for this crop will be in better condition
if it is broken with a turning plow to
a moderate depth and a good seed bed
prepared. In south Georgia where oats
are planted early, drilling them in may
often prove satisfactory,, but late in the
season we would .be inclined to put
them in the 1 open furrow, for then even
though the freeze may be of unusual
severity, the crop will Ordinarily go
through the winter unharmed and the
yield will certainly be as great, if not
greater, from the open furrow method
than where the crop is drilled.

SELECTING PHOSPHORUS FOR
GEORGIA SOILS.
S. L. T., Elberton, Ga., writes: I have
some goo-4 land which has been sown in
rye and turned under green, and also
well rotated in oats, wheat and peas. I\
think it contains a good store of vege
table matter. I have also Seen apply
ing barnyard manure. Do you think
ground phosphate rock Would pay me
better than acid phosphate, and what
is the best way to apply it? '
(Cornell Widow.)
"Well, did New York appeal to you?’
“Yes. It was ‘welcome’ when I came,
and ‘well done’ when I wtent.”
--
.Ground phosphate rock can be used
to the best advantage on land which
has been prepared and handled as you
have managed yours: that is, it is first
necessary to establish a rotation of
crops and turn into the soil consider
able quantities of vegetable matter, for
it has been shown by experiment that
where vegetable matter is present to
aid fermentation and encourage the
work of micro-organisms in the soil that
rock phosphate gives much better re
sults than on lands whiijh are low in
vegetable matter, a condition which you
know to be true of much of our Georgia
land. Our experience with ground phos
phate rock has not all been ehcour-
aging, though we have had some very
good results from its use under corn,
especially where cowpeas and other
legumes have been turned under and
some yard manure applied. We have
never used it in larger amounts than
1,000 pounds per acre, and we believe
this to be the minimum application
which you should make. We applied the
rock at about this season of the year
and scattered it over the surface of the
ground. It was worked in with a har
row later on, and then the cultivation
and preparation for planting and to de
stroy ^|eeds mixes it more thoroughly
and completely with the soil. We be
lieve this would be the best method of
application for you to pursue. We are
inclined to think that for immediate re
sults avid phosphatt will give the best
returns on land low in vegetable mat
ter, and- that you can count on a fair
profit from the use of the ground phos-
phafe rock on land that is fairly well
stored with vegetable matter. It Is
quite certain that the phosphorus con
tained in the ground rock will become
quite largely available in the course
of time even though you have to wait
for some years to get all of it, the
chances are that you will lose very
little of it, so you will not be making an
experiment which is likely to cause you
less. Of course, in those sections of
the country where they have secured
the best results from the ground phos
phate rock, their percentage^ of vege
table matter and nitrogen run consider
ably higher than* the average of Geor*
gia lands, and this Is a matter which
we should keep carefully in mind.
* * *
STORING HUMUS THROUGH
LEAVES.
G. G. S 1 ., Macon, Ga., writes: I have
recently c taken .charge of some land
which is badly in need of humus. I
consider it too late to plant rye to
turn under, but can secure an unlimited
amount of stra\^, le'aves and litter to
spread on the land, and would like to
know if it is too late to apply this
very thickly and turn under with a
two-horse plow. On some of the
fields I can put this material two to
four Inches de£p, but I fear it will not
rot enough to allow 7 proper cultivation
by spring. Th e land is sandy loam,
more or less rolling. I would appre
ciate your suggestions in the matter.
By all means secure and apply as
muc.h vegetable matter to your land as
possible. It would not be wise to cover
it to the depth you have ‘suggested, but
you need not be afraid to put a good
coating of leaves and litter over the
top of the soil and then plow the whole
mass under. The sooner this can be
done the better. Plow down to a goo^l
depth and then before planting work
well by cross disking so as to com
pact the top soil and set in motion the
capillary water from the subsoil to the
surface. The only objection to using
coarse litter lies In the fact that the
top and bottom soil may not be‘suf
ficiently compacted after it is plowed
to restore the capillary movement re
ferred to. Rolling the land and then
disking it well will insure this taking
place. Plow this material under as
soon as possible, because there is liable
to be a considerable amount of rain
from this date forward, which helps to
disintegrate the vegetable matter, es
pecially when it is thoroughly incor
porated with the soil. The character
of plow used in turning under litter is
important. It should be so adjusted
that it will completely invert the soil
and bury and mix the material with it.

FERTILIZING FOR TWO BALES PER
ACRE.
II. J., Hilltonia, Ga., writes: I have
an acre of^land with a dark sandy soil
and a yellow clay subsoil on which I
wish to make two bales of cotton this
year. Ttife * land was planted to corn
last year and fertilized with two and
a half or three tons of stable manure,
1.000 pounds of 9-3-4 guano, and 200
pounds of nitrate of soda. I made sixty
bushels of corn in a bad season. * I am
going to prepare the land well and fer
tilize with five tons of stable manure
and 1,000 pounds of guano. Do you
think I can make two bales with the
fertilizer suggeste.d? What varieties
would you suggest?
By all means make a special effort
to prepare a good seed bed on the land
you expect to devote to cotton. There
is much more to be gained by thorough
preparation than most of us realize.
Plowing and stirring the soil helps to
aerate it and to insure its friability.
Of course, sandy land should not oe
plowed so deeply as a rule as clay
soils, because they are naturally more
open and porous. This land will be
greatly benefited and your chances of
raising a large crop of potton enhanced
just in proportion as you are able to
add vegetable matter and yard manure.
Five tons of well -rotted manure per
acre would be a/ fair application, of
course, if it has dried out or has fire-
fanged, it will not provide nearly so
much plant food nor will its effect in
the soil be so satisfactory as where It
has been well cared for and does not
contain an excess of litter. For soil of
the character you have described a
9-3-4 formula should answer very well
for cotton. We think you could afford
to use 1,009 pounds ^>er acre in con
junction with yard manure. We are
sure you would get excellent results
from this combination if it had been
possible for you to plow under cow-
peas. Of course, th<^ fact that yo\i
planted cowpeas in your corn w%s a
considerable advantage, but still they do
not make anything like the growth or
accumulate as much nitrogen as where
grown by themselves. Any litter turned
under, however, would be helpful. In
a favorable season arfd with good cul
tivation and skillful selection of seed,
we believe it is possible to crow two
bales of cotton per acre with the fer
tilizers and preparation suggested. Of
course, the yield obtained depends very
much on seasonal conditions and the
management of the crop. There is no
one best variety of cotton, as you no
doubt have found out long ago. We
have tested quite a few varieties 'on
the college farm in the past few years,
and among those which have made a
good record the past year are Culpepper,
Harly’s Prolific, Langford’s Improved,
Stone’s Improved, Rowde, Mortgage
Lifter, Smith’s Improved and Sunbeam.
We do not think you would make a
mistake in selecting seed of improved
strains of Culpepper, Cleveland, Cook,
and other standard varieties.
* * *
USING NITRATE IN A COMPLETE
FERTILIZER.
J. c/w., Molena, Ga., writes: Would
it DU all right to add 100 pounds of ni
trate of soda to a complete fertilizer?
I have about-ten acres of very thin land
in oats that I wish to build up. After
the oats are off I am going to sow to
cowpeas for hay, and put to oats again
in the fall, and then in the spring
plant velvet beans in every other row
and turn under in the fall. What do
you think of this plan? What is a good
fertiliser for cane and sweet pota
toes?
It is all right to use 100 pounds of
nitrate of soda in a complete fertilizer
mixture to be used under ordinary farm
crops. It is best not to use too much
nitrate of soda in a complete fertilizer,
but we think the amount you have de
cided on is about right. It is best for
long season crops, such as corn and
cotton, to use a formula in which a
large part Df the nitrogen is derived
from organic sources. Cotton seed meal
and fish scrap furnish nitrogen in a
form sufficiently quickly available to
meet the conditions of the crops men
tioned, and' these two materials are con
sidered good sources of organic nitro
gen. ~ f
By all means gj'ow peas on the land
after your oats, and fertilize them, say
800 'to 400 pounds of a 10-1-4 mixture.
We hardly think you will find it prac
ticable to grow peas, velvet beans and
oats together. You would be much more
likely to succed if you cut the oats
for hay or grain and then plant the peas
by themselves. While they are a long
season crop and do not* mature grain
readily in most parts of Georgia, they
will make a surprising growth and fur
nish an abundance of green matter to
turn under on most soils unless the
season is extremely unfavorable and a
very severe drought should prevail.
!
Every farmer in the ^outh ought to
be laying his plans to visit Columbia
C., during the National Corn exposi
tion, which will open its doors on the
27th of January and last until the 8th
of February. It is not only the biggest
thing of the sort which has ever been
held in this state or the south, but in
some respects it will be ahea£ of any
thing the country hasaever seen.
In a sense it is a misnomer to speak
of it as a corn show. Of course, it is
a corn show, and pre-eminently so, but
it does not stop there by any means.
Step by step it has grown in the last
half dozdn years until ;rs scope has
been broadened to include practically
every important problem of agricultur
al progress.
The exposition this year promises to
be by odds the best that has been held
since the project was first conceived.
More time has been allowed for prep
aration and those who are in charge of
it have been at work now for nearly
two years making all the needful ar
rangements and thoroughly advertising
the event throughout the entire coun
try. It i^ expected that at least thir
ty-five states will be represented; be
tween twenty-five and thirty agricultur
al colleges and experiment stations
will have exhibits; more individual
competitors have been entered than
ever before, and congress haying at
last given the exposition officia? recog
nition, the federal deportment of agri
culture is Installing “the most compre
hensive and elaborate exhibit ever put
up at any exposition.’
Too obvious to require stressing are
the benefits which the south should
reap from the bringing to tips section
of hundreds of the most prosperous and
Intelligent agriculturalists of other
parts of America. They will be here
from the farthest confines o? the nation
and a considerable percentage of them
will be men who have learned in the
school of experience how to estimate
the value of undeveloped opportunities.
It will pay the farmers of oou-th Caro
lina handsomely to get in touch with
them when they come here. They are
readj 7 to teach and they are a*so ready
to be taught. We can learn of them
and they should learn of us.
This is the first time the National
Corn exposition has been held in the
south. Its standing before the country
is already established. Farmers of
every southern state, and all others
who are interested in the advancement
of the people have ahead of them a
great educational pit vi lege. They
should wake up to the fact before it is
too late. They should cfe-eermine with
out further delay that tn*y will neft
miss visiting the exposition for at least
a day. and they will make every effort
to prolong their.stay. It w?jt be too big
an event to take in on ,the # run.
Beans should be fertilized about as
for cowpeas. A good formula to use unJ
der cane and sweet potatoes on thin
salidy land should cabry about 10 per
cent of phosphorus, 3 to 4 per cent of
nitrogen, and 8 to 9 per cent of pot
ash.

PREPARATION OF LAND FOR
SWEET A1S(D IRISH POTATOES.
H. B. R. ! , Roanoke, Ala., writes: I will
be glad for information regarding prep
aration of soil and fertilization for
sweet and Irish potatoes. The soil has
deep clay foundation ahd has beert plant
ed consecutively in cotton for years. I
want to plant an acre in each. I have
very litle stable manure, but cati prob
ably secure more, but am afraid of it
on account of objectionable grass seeds.
Land which has been cultivated in
cotton for a number of years is likely
to be quite devoid of vegetable matter,
and in growing Irish potatoes in par
ticular, it As important to suply a con
siderable ’quantity of this important
and essential material. This may be
accomplished through applications -of
yard manure at the rate of about five
tons per acre and upwards. Where only
a limited amount of manure is avail
able, it ‘majr be put under the drill row
before the potatoes are planted. It is
very important that it be mixed thor
oughly with the subsoil, and that a
light layer of earth be provided be
tween it and the potatoes. For Irish
potatoes we think an application of 800
pounds of iicid phosphate, 300 pounds
of cotton seed meal and 300 pounds of
muriate of potash will answer very well.
This formula should be used at theVate
of 500 to 600 pounds per acre. This fer
tilizer will analyze about 7 per cent of
phosphorus, 4.4 per cent of nitrogen and
8 per cent of potash. For sweet po
tatoes the use of organic matter is not
so essential, though some compost and
little will be found helpful. The for
mula suggested for I^ish potatoes will
answer very well for sweet potatoes.

character of lime which you can secure
at $3 or $4 per ton. The chances are
that you and your friend were discuss
ing the finely ground raw rock and
not air-slaked lime. Finely ground rock
can be purchased at a number of places
at a cost of about $1 to $1.25 f. o. b/
the cars. If it is a high grade lock,
that is, carries a high per cent of car
bonate of lime and a low per cent of
magnesia, this is probably a fair price
for it. To this you must add the freight
charges, and, of course, these will vary
according to the distance to be shipped.
We think the finely ground rock is ad
visable to use at the rate of one ton
per a^re on any land which shows a
considerable degree of acidity. Last year
lime g*ave us an increase of about ten
.bushels of corn per acre. The lime
should be put on top of the land after
it is plowed and later on in the season
may be worked in with a harrow. It
should not.be mixed with the fertilizer,
but should be applied from thirty to
sixty days before the fertilizer is used.
The raw ground roefc is not so active
as the caustic lime, but it is less ex
pensive and much more pleasant to
handle, and we think will prove effective,
especially if you use it on land where
a green cro phas been ployed under dur
ing the early fall or the previous Rum
mer. We would suggest that you lime
a limited acreage of your land. Re
member that lime should only be applied
once in three to five years, and that
a minimum application for most soils
would (probably ' be one ton per acre.
It is important that the lime be ground
fairly line, but still not so fine as to
b e in the form of an impalpable powder
which tends to make the lime form in
little balls, and it is not so effective
as When in a somewhat coarsefr condi

M. O. J., Alley, Ga., writes: How
many Irish potatpt® will it take fo
plant an acre pf land putting the rows
three feet apart, Will a top dressing
composed of' nitrate of soda and muri
ate of potash be advisable to use? My
land is second year new ground, was
in velvet beans last year. How much
fertilizer would you advise, as I have
not any manure?
It will take from ten to fifteen bush
els of Irish potatoes to pldnt an acre
of land. The quantity required will de
pend considerably on the distance apart
of ^ planting, and also on the number
of *eyes to the potato, and the size of
the cuttings used. We think it well
to have one to. two good eyes to the
piece, and to cut the potatoes fairly
small. Planting in rows three feet
apart and about 12 to 18 inches in the
drill is good practice. Potatoes will
often come out when the tops have been
cut hack by frost. Of course, the
freezing off of the tops is a serious
setback and lessens the vitality of me
young plants materially, and if sea
sonal conditions are unfavorable some
of the plants may die. It is best, there
fore, to avoid planting so early as to
run the chances of the crop being cut
back by a frost. The potato crop is
best fertilized underneath the drill row
though some top dressing or side ap
plications may often be used to advan
tage. The formula you propose to use
would not be at all satisfactory for this
crop on land of the type described in
your letter. We would suggest that
you usC from 600 to 600 pounds per
acre of a mixture composed of 800
pounds of acid phosphate, 300 pounds
ot nitrate of soda, 600 pounds of cot
ton seed meal and 300 pounds of muri
ate of potash. This mixture will anal
yze about 7 per cent of phosphoric
acid, 4.4 per cent of nitrogen and 8
per cent of potash. A part of the ni
trate of soda in the aboxe mixture may
be reserved and used as a side applica
tion, say thirty days after the crop is
up and well started. If some of the
nitrate is reserved for use as a side
application, the phosphoric acid iri the
mixture may be increased by 100 to 2(ffi
pounds. This formula we think will
answer well on land of the type y*>u
