BUSH, Richland, Ga.^ LOOK TOR THE RED WHEN BUYING RIFLE OR PISTOL CARTRIDGES IT MEANS WNCHBSTBR Rifle and A i Pistol Cartridges. is plain to understand why Winchester cartridges, generally speaking, shoot better than other makes. It has to do with the reputation of Winchester rifles. You see, Winchester cartridges adapted to Winchester rifles are made to get the best possible results out of them. As the same equipment, organization and system , are employed in making all Winchester cartridges, it naturally follows that Winchester cartridges do the best shooting in* all firearms. Winchester cartridges are made for all calibers and makes of rifles, revolvers and pistols and are sold everywhere. They always satisfy. Be Sure To Ask Bor The Red Brand. Insurance In an old line company . You insure YOUR LIFE, you iinsure your house—why not insure your crop? ‘The best insurance against crop failure is liberal use of the fertilizer that ’HASN’T FAILED IN 27 YEARS (ESTABUSHED 1885) Apple trees are Severally sprayed for aphidea and all other lice, codling moth and San Jose scale. These trees are subject to such diseases as bitter root, fire light, crown gall, rust and scab. For aphidea spray with kerosene emulsion when the insects are discov ered. For codling moth spray with ar senate of lead when the petals fall and again seven weeks later. For San Jose scale spray with concentrated or bpiled lime sulphur. If badly infested make two applications, one in November and the other in February. Otherwise spray once a year as a preventive. Never apply while the trees are in leaf. For bitter rot use the self-boiled lime- sulphur of Bordeaux mixture. Apply before the buds open and frequently thereafter, until the fruit is almost ripe. For fire blight cut every canker. Keep the instrument used well disinfected. For crown gall avoid all diseased stock and burn all affected trees. For rust apply Bordeaux mixture and remove ce dar trees. Spray after the leaves come out, and make other applications as necessary. For scab spray with self- boiled lime-sulphur Just before t!,e blos soms open, as the petals fall and two weeks later. The self-boiled lime-sulphur wash is made as follows: Make a paste of twenty-four pounds of sulphur and a small amount of water. Dilute the paste to about five gallons and pour the whole over twenty-four pounds of unslaked lime and^ermit the mixture to boil from the heat produced by slaking the lime. When the mixture becomes well tinged with a yellowish red color, which will take from five to fifteen minutes, dilute to 150 gallons and strain. Bordeaux mixture is prepared as fol lows: Dissolve three pounds of copper sulphate in water. Slalte six pounds of lime by adding water slowly. Pour the sulphate solution into a barrel contain ing about thirty gallons of water. Add the slaked lime slowly with sufficient wat^r to make fifty gallons. If you follow these directions and prune and care for your orchard care fully there is no reason why it should not be productive. Spraying experi ments carried on by the college of ag- riculutre in north Georgia last year showed that where the orchard "was propperly cared for 95 per cent of the fruit was marketable, and that where it was not properly cared for only 5 per cent was marketable. . This means \the difference, therefore, between the profit able and unprofitable orchard. * * * ONE HUNDRED BUSHELS PER ACRE IN SOUTH GEORGIA. L. C. R., Adel, Ga„ writes: I wish to put one acre in corn and make 100 bushels on It. Please tell me how to fertilize, when to plant and how to cul tivate to secure this yield. The land is light sandy loam just a little peb bly. The same land made a bale of cot ton and an acre and a half last year with 300 pounds of guano to the acre. Sandy loam soil should be well fer tilized for corn where you desire to make as much as 100 bushels per acre. We would suggest that you break the land as soon as possible if this has not been done already. If you have a fairly loose subsoil the roots of the corn plant will make its way through this quite readily. On this land we think it would be well for you ’to ap ply a ton of the finely ground raw rock. Scatter it over the surface of the plowed ground and work in with a harrow. The lime had best be put on thirty days or so befpfe planting. We would advise you to secure all the yard manure pos sible. If you have as much as ten tons per acre, so much the better; if only five, use that much, as it will be very help ful in increasing the yield of corn. We would advise putting the manure un der the dr^l row. In the absence of yard manre use compost. Fertilize the corn at the time of planting by putting 400. to 500 pounds of about a 9-3-4 un der the drill row. A part of the nitro gen should be in an organic form and a part in a rather quickly available form. We would suggest a combination of nitrate of soda and cotton seed meal as very desirable. After the corn is up and growing nicely put on a side ap plication of 200 pounds of the above mixture. You may possibly find a sec ond appliaction of the samp formula desirable, though we doubt this, but we do believe you will find it beneficial to use 100 pounds of nitrate of soda as a top dressing, putting it on alongside the drill row two weeks before the corn bunches to tassel. A later application of the nitrate than this is liable to re sult in the growth of stem and a leaf at the expense of grain. Give thor ough surface cultivation. Plant the corn in rows about four feet apart and fairly thick in the drill row, say leav ing the stalks one foot apart. Use a prolific type of corn and see that you secure a superior strain of seed. We be lieve these are the best suggestions we can offer you relative to his mat ter. * * * CONTROLLING* BLACK ROOT IN COTTON, a H. L. W„ Columbus. Ga., writes: I have been troubled for a number of years with block root in my cotton field. A friend told me if I wouljl use fer tile lime I would not be troubled with black root. He recommended 1,000 pounds per acre once in three years. The field is level and nearly always wet. Another party claims that he increased his yield of corn fifteen to twenty bushels by the use of fertile lime alone. Would like to* have your opinion of it as a fertilizer. plants which have resisted the disease, and in this way you may intensify their ability ao withstand injury from the fun gus in question. This is the only way in which you will make progress on the growing of cotton on the land in ques tion. There is no such thing as fertile lime according to our understanding of this word. Lime is valuable in the soil for sweetening it, for its ability to set free plant food and aid in desirable fer mentation in the soil, and supply a de ficiency which may exist in the 61ernena calcium. High grade lime rock contains only traces of phokphorus or potash or dinarily, and therefore, an application of only one ton of raw rock of the choic est quality to your land will not supply anything except he element calcium and benefit It in the ways indicated. It is a mistake for people to claim that lime is fertile. We have no doubt that an application of lime to your land will prove beneficial, especially if It is strongly acid, and this may be deter mined through testing with litmus pa per. We have secured on the college farm an increase of ten bushels or more of corn per acre from an application of caustic lime at the rate of one ton. We believe the raw ground rock will prove efficient on many Georgia soils and we would advise its use. It should be put on thirty days or more before the fertilizer is applied to the land and the cron planted. Apply it broadcast, on the surface of the ground. * * * PLANTING CANE FOR SYRUP PRO DUCTION. S. S. B., Royston, Ga.. writes: Am thinking of planting ten or fifteen acres in syrup cane. The soil is gray and lias been in cultivation about five years. About how much syrup should I expect per acre, and what kind of seed should be lAed? How should it be fertilized? this by mixing together 1.000 pounds of acid phosphate. 160 pounds of dried blood. 160 pounds of muriate of potash, and 380 pounds of dry earth. The dried blood should be rich grade and contain not less than 13 per cent of nitrogen. If you prefer to use cotton seed meal and nitrate of soda as a source of ni trogen. all good arvl well. Y'ou can easily make the substitution required to secure the percentages indicated. For sweet potatoes on sandy land we would advise th© use of a 9-3.5-9. This I is a very high grade mixture, but you | will find the potato crops require lib- i eral fertilization with phosphoric acid | and potash. To secure a high-grade ! formula of this character it is neces- \ sary for you t° select materials con- j taining the highest percentages of avail able plant food. There is no reason why you should ndt mix any of these ingre dients on yotfr own farm provided you do the work ' thoroughly. . * * * £ DYNAMITLING LAND FOR CORN. J. C. G.. Rome. Ga., writes: I have an acre of ground which I am thinking of dynamiting for corn, and wish to know if you think it will pay? How much will it cost and\hbw far apart should the sticks be placed and how deep should the holes be dug?

Our experience in the dynamiting land for corn was not satisfactory. An acre very carefully treated with dyna mite only produced 4.96 bushels more corn than an acre deeply plowed. These experiments were made on the red clay land characteristic of the Piedmont sec tion. It cost us between $40 and $60 to dynamite the acre in question. Of course, the work was done with great thoroughness, the holes being put down four feet In each direction to a depth of four feet. ■ A half stick of dynamite was used in each hole. It did not throw the subsoil on top of the ground but simply broke it up and loosened the whole area of ground to a depth of four feet. Cowpeas grown on this area of ! land this year failed to show any dif ference as to yield and quality. There fore, we can not conclude that there was any after additional effect from the dynamite. The experience we have had to date would not indicate that dynamite was cither practical or proft- able. Of course, it is claimed that by machinery dynamiting can be done ; at a much lower cost. We are open J to conviction on this point but can only j report the exact experiences we have had with reference to this matter. Hurls Dynamite At His Wife and Mother-in-Law (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) VALDOSTA,* Ga.. Feb. 4.—J. G.

FARMERS OF DODGE / TO HOLD MEETINGS If you desire to plant sugar cane, you will no doubt prefer to try the Japanese or the purple. The Japanese is quite distinct from other kinds cul tivated jn th c United States, being somewhat slender, but it is hardier further north than the other varieties. Sugar cane should be very liberally fertilized on most lands, though yard manure or a superabundance of vege table matter should not be applied to the soil, we think you will find &n application prepared by mixing to gether ],000 pounds of high-grade acid phosphate, 100 pounds of nitrate of soda and 100 pounds of muriate of pot ash a very good one to use. This, formula amounts ot about 1,200 pounds per acre, and would have an analysis of 11.5 per cent of phosphoric acid, 1.5 per cfent of nitrogen and 4 per cent of potash. On soils that are low In Vegetable matter we would advise in creasing the nitrogen by applying 30o to 400 pounds of cotton seed meal In addition to the above. The average yield of syrup on tile alluvial lands of Louisiana is from 500 to 600 gallons per acre. * * * MIXING A GIVEN FORMULA AT HOME. G. E. A., Louisville. Ga., writes: I want to mix my own guano and use mi*riate of potash to secure the potash from, so I 'will not have so much to haul. Part of my soil has a clay sub soil and the other part a gray sand subsoil. What fertilizer would you sug gest for corn and cotton on this land?) I also want a formula for sweet pota- ! toes? ffror the corn land we believe you will ! find a formula prepared as folows quite ! satisfactory: Mix together 1,000 pounds * of 16 per cent acid phosphate, 600 pounds of tankage containing not less than 8 per cent of nitrogen and 11 per cent of phosphoric acid, 200 pounds of i muriate of potash and 200 pounds of j dried earth. This mixture will analyze approximately 9.5 per cent of available : phosphoric acid, 2.4 per cent of nitro gen, and 5 per cent of potash. It should j be used at the rate of 500 pounds per i ecre under the drill rohv at the time of ! planting the corn. If you can add any vegetable matter or yard manure to the j soil so much the better. Three to five ! tons used under the drill row will be of i great benefit to the corn crop on land [ of the character described in your let ter. We would also advise that you use at least 100 pounds of nitrate,of soda as a top dressing, applying it at least two weeks before the corn bunches to tassel. For cotton w e would suggest that you use about an 8-3-4. You may prepare EASTMAN, Ga., Feb. 4.—A two days’ farmers’ meeting or extension agricul ture school j will be held under the au spices of the State College' of Agricul ture, Athens, Ga., in this city on Feb ruary 7 and 8.

Black root is caused by a specific fungus which lives over in th e soil from year to year and through abrasions of the roots of the plants finds its way into the water ducts or vessels and chokes the plant to death. This trouble is carried from one field to another in the drainage water, by the use of seed which contains pores on the outside or by using, implements on fields free from the pest which have previously been used on fields where the trouble exists. This trouble can not in our judgment be overcome by applications of lime or fertilizer, but only through the use of strains of cotton resident to this dis ease. Among the varieties which have proven well adapted for this purpose are the Dixie and Dillon. Jackson’s Limbless has also shown strong resis tance to black root.

Send a postal TODAY for this FARMERS’ HANDBOOK No. 38 6 DU PONT POWDER WILMINGTON, DEL. CO. "Commercial Fertilizer”—well named since the commerce of this section is based upon it—is the sub ject commanding the closest attention of the agricul tural South today. There are two parties vitally concerned in this all- absorbing subject, as In all great contributions which go to hasten agricultural development—the consumer and the manufacturer. Their interest is identical—the ultimate success of the crop. The in terest of the consumer lies ili his desire to secure value received in the plant food which he. is buying in commercial fertilizer. The Interest of the manu facturer is to see that the consumer gets the plant food, in the right proportion. But, beyond this, the manufacturer is concerned that the buyer does not waste his money in getting fertilizers out of pro portion to the needs of his soil and his crops. By this is meant that the consumer does not buy goods with more potash than the plant can use and less ammonia, 6r vice versa. The only way to insure crop success is by co-op eration, for after all, the consumer and manufacturer are partners. The consumer must study carefully what each Ingredient does for his crop; study the nature of the soil in which ea’ch crop is planted; consider what was planted and what the analysis of the fertilizer was that was used last year; also what were the results. y The materials mixed in commercial fertilizer are: Which gives the stalk, or body, of the growing plant, life, strength and vigor. Which gives vitality, growth and health to the fruit of l the plant. ( Which gives body, tone and ( strength • to each. Study these foods and determine in what propor tion they should be used this year on your crops. In order that the consumer may have these all-es sential elements of plant food, be6t found in com mercial fertilizers, the manufacturers make a loan of AMMONIATES Termed Nitrogen j PHOSPHORIC ACIdJ POTASH OVER ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS AN NUALLY to the consumers of the South. (This loan stimulates and assists the growth of a BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF CROPS in the South an nually.) This loan is advanced in the spring on the faith that repayment is assured in the fall, through increased production per acre. Assistance in upbuilding Southern Agricul ture must, of necessity, bring prosperity to the ma ker, as well as the user, of fertilizers. / Hence, they have contributed thousands of dollars, annually, to Boys’ Corn Clubs, Girls' Canning Clubs, Educational Trains and every other earnest endeavor in the in terest of better farming. Bigger production per acre must be the aim and object of the South. Labor is scarce and unsatisfactory, at best. To cultivate more land will cost more money. The solu tion of our problem is to CULTIVATE BETTER the land now being tilled. To do this satisfactorily and economically, use the RIGHT KIND of fertilizer and plenty of it. ‘ ^ / FERTILIZER COSTS LESS THAN LABOR. The manufacturers have invested their capital In their factories, have faith in their goods, faith in the consumer, faith in the growing South, and are here to stay. The partnership is formed but the manu facturer has more to lose than the consbmer. A crop failure Is only a temporary set-back to the planter—a failure on the part of the manufacturer to deliver THE BEST GOODS TO BE HAD means loss of customers and business bankruptcy. This is the first of a series of articles which will be published by the Soil Improvement Committee named by the fertilizer manufacturers of the South. Others of interest will follow. The committee/has printed, ready for distribution, articles of splendid advice from the leading authori ties in the South, showing how the best crop results may be obtained through the use of commercial fer tilizers, intelligently selected and generously applied.
