FERTILIZING CORN IN FLORIDA
I have some oats that were sown about
November 1, and want to run some
kind of a harrow over them as a culti
vator. When should this be done and
what kind of harrow should be used?
Could I make one out of a wooden frame
with wooden pegs for teeth? When
should one plant German millet to get
it as early as possible?
There is nothing better to run over
oats than an ordinary smoothing har
row. The teeth should be set back
at an angle of about 45 degrees so they
will not tear the ground but run over
it. This will cultivate the oats suffi
ciently. It Is better In our experience
to run the rarrow with the oats rather
than across the same. Cultivating the
oats in the spring with a harrow is
often good practice, especially If the
work is done after danger of hard freez
ing is past. The winter has been so
mild and the growth of the oats so un
usually early that It is difficult to say
just when the harrowing should be
done. We would be disposed to do it
in the southern part of the state al
most any time this month, and in the
northern part of the state about March
1. Seasonal conditions will of course
determine the best time to do the har
rowing. It is important that the work
be done before the crop m&kes too much
top. You will find an iron frame peg
tooth harrow more desirable than the
wooden one about which you write.
German millet may be planted as soon
ab danger of frost is past and as soon
as the ground is warm enough to in
sure the rapid germination of the seed.
There will be a variation of two weeks
as to time of planting according to sea
sonal conditoins. We hardly think It
practicable to plant this crop in the
southern part of the state before April
1, and in this part of the state about
April 16.

Select a prolific variety of corn from
any of the following: Whatley’s, Marl
boro, Batts and Hastings. Plow your
land thoroughly as soon as possible and
to a good depth. Prepare a fine seed
bed with cultivators and harrows. Lay
off your rows about four feet apart and
put any yard manure you can obtain
under the drill row. If no yard manure
is available use compost and litter from
the woods. Work the litter well into the
subsoil by means of a bull tongue. Ten
.days before planting the corn apply 600
pounds of 10-3-5 formula. Mix it also
well with the subsoil. Draw the fur
rows together and plant on the level or
in a slight water furrow. Sow the corn
so as to leave the stalks about twelve
inches apart in the drill row. Thirty
days to six weeks after the corn is up
put on a side application of 200 pounds
of the same formula. Top dress with
nitrate of soda two weeks before the
corn branches to tassel at the rate of
100 pounds per acre. Persistent shal
low surface cultivation should be prac
ticed as late into the season as possible.

TREATMENT FOR LAMENESS.
E. L. B. t Wallace, Ala., writes: I have

CHICAGO.
*)
ill both hind feet. After she works q.
short time she does not limp at all. I
turn her loose in the lot and she wants
to lie dows a good deal. I would like
to know what to do for her.
We would suggest that you examine
the mule about which you inquire with
great care and try and locate the exact
seat of the trouble about which you
make inquiry. It is impossible to say
from a description such as you have offer
ed in your letter just wheje the trouble
may be. A careful examination In
handling the limb will no doubt reveal
where the soreness exists. The trou
ble may be due to a rheumatic condi
tion or to a strain or to some injury to
the foot. The fact that the mule prefers
to lie down all the time when at rest
wquld indicate that the feet are in some
way involved. We think you will find
the use of a red blister prepared as fol
lows of some service: Gum camphor,
one-half ounce; Beniodide of mercury,
two drams; lard, two ounces. Pulverize
and mix all together and rub in well for
four to eight minutes. A good ointment
to use where there seems to be any en
largement or swelling ,1$l as follows:
Crystals of iodide, one-half dram, iodide
of potash, one-half dram; lard, one
ounce. Mix thoroughly and rub in well
once daily until the part becomes sore
and then withhold for a few days and
repeat. You should see that your mule
is fed on wholesome food and given a
well balanced ration. If her digestion
is in first-class condition she is much
more , likely to recover than otherwise.”

BROWING ONIONS 'FROM SEED.
V. T-, Waverly Hall, Ga., writes: I
wish information in regard to the grow
ing of onions from seed. I have the
Prizetaker variety of seed. I wish to
know how to prepare the seed bed, and
how to prepare the land for transplant
ing. I wish to cultivate by hand so
that I can get more onions on the land.
What fertilizer should I use on them?
Where one desires to grow extraord
inary large onions it is best to sow the
seed in a cold frame at once and trans^
plant later into the ground. The best
soil for onions is a sandy loam or a
black loam. It should have excellent
natural drainage and should be
composted before applied to the land
made very rich with yard manure. Fif
teen or twenty tons per acre will not be
too much. Scatter the manure broad-
caast on the land and work in well with
a disk. Several workings will often
be necessary to get the ground In the
best condition for onions. One objection
to the use of manure Is the fact that
it tends to encourage the growth of
weeds. On this account it should be
composeted before applied to the land.
If It is allowed to heat and the* fer
mentation controlled by the application
of water to the heap at the right time
the seeds will be practically all de
stroyed by the fermentation engendered
without the loss of any considerable
amount of nitrogen or other available
plant food from the manure.
A good fertilizer formula to use is
from 500 to 1,000 pounds per acre of
a mixtiire containing 4.5 per cent of ni
trogen, 7 per cent of phosphoric acid
and 7 to 8 per cent of potash. As soon
as the onions have obtained the size
of a small lead pencil they should be
transplanted* from the cold frame or hot
bed into the open ground. When , trans
planting is done the tops of the onions
should be cut off one-third of the way
down. Keep the sets free of weeds and
employ hand cultivation and hoeing.
Constant stirring and cultivation of the
soil is very desirable with this crop.
Do not leave too much of the onion, ex
posed. The bulbs should be left in the
ground until the tops fail down and
die. They should then be pulled and
the tops cut off and placed irt piles,
and kept in a cool shed or other suit
able storage place. -

manure in addition to the fertilizer. Mix
it well with the subsoil and fertilizer
before the corn is planted. Three to five
tons of yard manure will exert a won
derful influence on the yield of corn.
The varieties you have selected for up

with which we have had experience. If
you have secured a good strain of seed

GROWING ALFALFA AFTER WHEAT.
W. M. T., Hiram, Ga., writes: I have
a piece of land now in wheat which I
want to put in alfalfa next October, and
I have bought ground limestone to put
on it. Would you put part of lime on
now or wait and put all under peas?
When should lime be applied for corn
and cotton, and how much should be
used?
The land now in wheat which you ex
pect to put in alfalfa in October should
be devoted to peas as soon as the wheat
can be harvested. Fertilize them at the
rate of 500 pounds per aci^e with a 10-4
mixture. Reserve the application of
lime until the ground has been plowed
and the seed bed prepared for alfalfa.
Then put it on at the rate of two tons
per acre if it is the finely ground raw
rock and not in the caustic form. Work
it into the surface with a harrow and
let it stand for two weeks. Then put
on a fertilizer formula at the rate of 800
to 1,000 pounds per acre, using about
a 10-3-5. Sow the alfalfa at the rate
of twenty pounds per acre, using select
ed American grown seed. The finely
ground rock may be applied to any crop
this spring, such as wheat or oats, but
if we desired to devote the land to al
falfa we would withhold the applica
tion, as suggested above. If lime is
used on cotton and corn, it is best ap
plied after the ground is plowed and
worked into the soil with a harrow.
Use at the rate of one ton per acre and
put on at least two weeks before the
fertilizer is added to the land or the
seed placed therein.
• • •
COMPOSTING COW MANURE.
J. E. V., Dunbar, Ga., writes: I am
feeding fifty head of cows on cotton
seed meal and want to compost the ma
nure. What can I use with it to add to
its value and prevent it from burning?
Am using straw foe bedding. Can I
afford to use nitrate of soda at present
prices on my grain which was not fer
tilized when planted? Please give me
a formula for mixing guano for corn
and cotton where I use compost.
You may prepare a good compost with
manure by taking 1,700 pounds of this
product and mixing 200 pounds of high-
grade acid phosphate and 100 pounds ot
kainit with it. A ton of this material
will contain about 10 to 12 per cent of
nitrogen, 38 to 40 per cent of phos
phoric acid and 24 to 26 per cent of
potash. The use of these commercial
plant food carriers with the manure
will not prevent it firing or burning.
Your manure is evidently too dry if you
experience this trouble with it, and you
can only overcome this difficulty by
wetting the manure and keeping it well
packed. You should attend to this mat
ter at once, for wherever the manure is
burning or flrefanging the nitrogen is
being transformed into ammonia and
lost into the air.
Nitrate of soda is an excellent mate
rial for top dressing oats. We think
you can afford to use it on this crop
with advantage even at a rather high
price. In our experience it has proven
profitable to apply 100 pounds of nitrate
of soda as a top dressing relatively
early in the season. It is not good
practice to apply the nitrate after the
oats are bunching to head. It should
be put on two or three weeks before
this time. Seasonal* conditions will
change the date of application one 'to
two weeks.
A good fertilizer for you to use in
combination with the compost which
you propose to make may be prepared
as follows: Mix together 1,000 pounds
of high-grade acid phosphate, 900
pounds of muriate of potash. This
formula should be used at the rate of
about 500 pounds per acre, applying it
under the drill row at the time of
planting the crop. Run the compost
into the drill row and mix the manure
and fertilizer together. We would sug
gest the use of not less than one ton
of the compost per acre.

FERTILIZER FACTS No. 2
IT IS UP TO YOU
The time to make money on your crop is when you
are producing it.
The way to make money on your crop Is to keep
down the costs.
The means by which you can keep down the costs
are, 1st: deep plowing and thorough cultivation, 2nd:
a proper fertilization, by which an increased yield
per acre will be obtained.
For several years now, the price of cotton has been
good. Just how much each planter made or lost de
pends on his cost of producing a bale of cotton.
The South has no monopoly In producing cotton.
Forty per cent of the world’s supply is produced
abroad.. The increased acreage being planted
abroad, annually, is more than the increase in the
South. England is now preparing to spend $15,-
000,000 to aid and assist cotton growing In the Su
dan. The only way the South can keep ahead is by
keeping the cost of production lower here than
abroad; BY SECURING THE MAXIMUM YIELD AT
THE MINIMUM COST. In Egypt, blessed by a nat
ural fertilizer, the production per acre is increasing.
In this country it is decreasing.
Farm labor is a great factor in keeping the pro
duction down and the cost up. The only solution is
to secure a greater yield per acre, on fewer acres, by
the use of carefully chosen fertilizer, to fit the needs
of the land, and by the intelligent cultivation of the
reduced acreage.
A farmer who can raise one bale of cotton to the
acre, and only ralfets r»ne bale to three acres Is los
ing money. At a bale to the acre his cost would be
about five cents per pour.d. At a bale to three acres
his cost would not he less than nine cents per
pound, and he has undoubtedly lost the profit repre
sented by the difference between these costs.
It has been demonstrated that the use of fertilizer
Is an Investment and not an expense. It not only
pays for itself, but in addition, pays a handsome
profit on the Investment.
It costs no more to cultivate an acre with 200
pounds of fertilizer on it that produces one-third of
a bale of cotton,Nthan to cultivate an acre with 600
pounds of fertilizer on it, which produces a bale to
the acre. With the extra expense for 400 pounds of
fertilizer, the cost of production Is reduced from nine
cents to five cents per pound.
In addition to his cotton he should plant an acreage
in food crops that will enable him to live at home
and by so doing keep at home the millions of dollars
that annually have been going out of the State.
Plow deep and get your land In condition to hold
moisture. Prepare It carefully and get it in fine
tilth to receive your crop.
The planter who can tell his banker or supply man
that he produces a bale to an acre has three times
the credit rating of the one-thlrd-of-a-bale-to-the-acre-
man.
Your profits begin with your planting, so IT IS UP
TO YOU.

A WORKMAN in an I H C
wagon factory was explaining
the various stages of wagon
construction to an interested visitor. He
picked up two pieces of long leaf yellow
pine, which to all appearances were sawed
from the same board, and asked the visitor
to notice the difference in the weight of the
two pieces. The lighter piece, he explained,
was kiln-dried. The heavier piece was air-
dried and more thoroughly seasoned. It
had retained the resinous sap which adds
strength and toughness, while in the kiln-dried piece of
lumber this sap had been drawn out by the too rapid
application of heat.
Every Stick of Lumber Used in
IHC Wagons Is Carefully Selected,
Air-Dried Stock
Here was something to think about. The visitor
asked for a test as to the relative strength of the two
pieces of wood. The air-dried piece held up
under nearly double fhe weight under which
the kiln-dried piece of lumber broke. The
workman explained how the comparative life
of air-dried and kiln-dried lumber has about
s great a difference.
To the eye there was no difference between
these two pieces of lumber, but when put to the test there
was a vast difference. So it is throughout the construc
tion of I H C wagons—Weber, Columbus, New Betten
dorf, Steel King. They are built for real strength, light
draft, and satisfactory service.
After seeing the care used in the construction of every
part of an IHC wagon, the visitor asked: “Why
don’t you let people know of the great care used in
selecting material and in constructing IHC wagons?”
This is what we have been trying to do, but we can
not tell it all in one short advertisement.
Weber and Columbus wagons have wood gears. Steel
King and New Bettendorf have steel gears. IHC
local dealers handle the wagons best suited to your work.

On gray sandy land with a red clay
subsoil 600 pounds of a 10-3-4 formula
should answer very well for corn. We
would prefer, however, to put 400
pounds under the drill row at the time
of planting and use 200 pounds a« a
side application. The second applica
tion should be made about six weeks
after planting the corn, and the ni
trate of soda should be used as a top
dressing at least two weeks before the
corn bunches to tassel. Putting the ni
trate on when the corn is shooting into
tassel or after it has tasseled tends
in most instances, we think, to produce
stalk at the expense of grain. In plant
