Feed lour Crops Available Potash S Insoluble plant foods are cheap in the beginning but may be dear in the end.. ’e feel good when we hear that the soil contains enough Potash to raise 5000 ops, but we feel tired when we discover that it will take 1000 years or so to make it available. We will be converted into plant food ourselves long before that. The acids derived from green manure may make insoluble phosphate of lime more avail able.

A little soil Potash becomes available yearly, but not enough to provide for profitable crops. Crops have two periods ot Potash hunger.

Rational fertilization giqujres ample available Potash at these periods and if you provide it you will find that Potash Pays* Send for our pamphlet on making fertilizers.

In this instance you would have to use 300 pounds of a filler or pursue the method of division indicated above. Of course, if desirable you may substitute 100 pounds of ni trate of soda for the blood mentioned in this formula. A third formula which will give you a 9-3-4 is 1,100 pounds of acid phosphate, 200 -pounds of 14 per cent blood, 200 pounds of cotton seed meal, and 500 pounds of kainit. A 10r3-4 may. be prepared by mixing 1.190 pounds of acid phosphate, 125 pounds of nitrate of soda, 125 pounds of blood, 400 pounds of cotton seecl meal and 160 pounds of muriate of pot ash. Of course,* in all instances the material should be of the highest grade. It would be very difficult to prepare a 10-3-4 formula and use as low a grade of material as kainit to supply as much potash as you desire in this formula. Of course, these figures are not accu rate to the ^decimal point, but they are sufficiently reliable to serve all practical purposes. • * * a Tobacco grower s problems. E. O. -F., Haleyville, Ala., writes: Will new ground make very good tobacco?

KING, Richmond, va. is dark sandy loam with red clay sub soil and a litle rolling-. What va rieties should I plant? There is no crop influenced so ex tensively by the character of , soil as tobacco. Heavy lands are used chiefly for the production of Burley and other dark heavy tobaccos. New ground of a dark sandy loamy character should be well adapted for the production of a wrapper tobacco of the type grown in some sections of Virginia and North Carolina. Tobacco requires heavy fer tilization. Suppose you mix 300 pounds acid phosphate, 50 pounds of nitrate of soda, 400 pounds of cotton seed meal and 150 pounds of high-grade sulphate of potash together and apply to each acre. The fertilizer should be put under tjie drill row and well mixed with the subsoil. Do not use either muriate of potash or kainit as these potash carriers contain so much chlorine that; they af fect, unfavorably the burning qualities and other properties of the tobacco. The nitrogen supply of tobacco should be derived chiefly from organic sources, through nitrate of soda in moderate amounts mqy be used, as has been sug- ; gested above. Tobacco requires a very friable and. clean soil. You should spare no effort, therefor, ine getting the seed bed in an ideal condition. The seeds of tobacco are so minute that about five million are required to make a pound. It is necessary to germinate and start the young plants in a specially prepared seed bed. Well-drained spots Sheltered on the north are usually best . The seed bed should be convenient to water. It is generally best established in a fairly open piece of woods where plenty of sunshine will he obtained. Spade up the soil and destroy any weeds or roots found therein. /Bake off the surface and secure a uniformly fine tilth. In many sections the seed bed is burned over, but this is not a desir able practice. About twenty pounds of nitrate of soda may be applied to each 100 square yards of surface. Some pot ash and phosphorus may also be used. A complete formula should he scattered over the .surface of the 'ground and cov ered lightly.

Resignation to State College of Agriculture-Goes With German Kali Works Prof. G. E. Rice, who has been con nected with the State College of Agri culture for the past year, has tendered his resignation to the institution and accepted a position with the German Kali works. Bast year Prof. Rice had charge of the boys corn club work in the Augusta district, and succeeded in es tablishing corn clubs and holding shows in virtually every county under his supervision, twenty-seven eastern coun ties being in his charge. The Augusta corn festival, which was created from the exhibits held in the Augusta dis trict, was pronounced tyy Mr. I. W. Hill, in charge of the boys corn club work in the United States, to be one of the finest ever held in the south. Prof J. Phil Campbell, who is in charge of the corn clubs and demonstration work in Georgia, is also lavish in his praise of Mr. Rice’s work, and expresses the hope that the next legislature will provide enough funds to keep men of his caliber in the field, and regain Mr. Rice’s serv ices. > Mr. Rice graduated from the state col lege in 1911, and won much distinction, obtaining many of the most valuable prizes offered by, the institution in va rious lines of work. In going with the German Kali works Mr. Rice will con tinue in extension work as the firm is doing considerable experimental work, and will make extensive efforts- to bet ter acquaint the farmers with the in telligent use of fertilizers, and Mr. Rice’s training fits him well for the work. In numerous counties in the state fertilizer tests plats will be establish ed under Mr. Rice’s supervisioh and there is no doubt but that he will prove exceptionally efficient in his new work. His headquarters will be in Atlanta. before the plants are set in the field in order to toughen them. Along the gulf coast seeds* may be sown in late Janu ary or early February, and further north from the middle of Fehruary to 1 the first of March. One two tablespoonfuls of seed for each 100 square yards of bed is about the right amount to use. The varieties to select will be de termined by the character of tobacco which you desire to grow. The Blue Pryor and Oronoke are good sorts for the production of fillers and strips and black wrappers. Improved Yellow Oro- noko is good for the production of yel low wrappers and smokers. Connecticut seed leaf is a stalky variety used for cigar fillers. Choice Havanna and Amer icanized Havana are used for cigar pur poses. * * * HOME MIXED FORMULAS FOR RED LAND. J. L., Lulu, Ga., writes: I have some stiff red clay land. Will it pay to use home-made guano? How much cotton seed meal should I use? What analysis of fertilizer would be best? There is no reason why you should not mix your fertilizer at home for use on such crops as corn and cotton. If you have a stiff red clay soil you will probably find about an 8-3-3 satisfactory for cotton and a 9-3-S-4 very good for corn. We believe that the minimum ap plication should be 300 pounds. The fertilizer in bur judgment should be used under the drill row and well mixed with the soil. If you.can secure some yard manure to mix with the subsoil and fertilizer before planting either corn or cotton, it will be greatly to your ad vantage to do so, for the amount of vegetable matter in the soil has much to do with determining the result se cured from the fertilizer formula. If you will mix together 1,000 pounds of IB per cent acid phosphate, 460, pounds of dried blood, 120 pounds of muriate of potash and 420 pounds of dry earth, you will secure an 8-3-3 formula. If you desire to use cotton seed meal in place of the blood you may do so. In that event you should mix together 1,000 pounds of acid phosphate, 900 pounds of high-grade cotton seed meal, and 100 pounds of. muriate of potash. To make a 9-3-4 you should substitute 50 to 100 pounds of nitrate of soda for 100 pounds of cotton seed meal, us ing the same amounts of acid phosphate and potash as suggested above. • * * ONE HUNDRED BUSHELS OF CORN PER ACRE. C. C. H., Odessadale, Ga., writes: I want to raise 100 bushels of corn per acre on red land. I have the* lime ma nure and guano, and wish to know how and when to use the same?

They Act Quick and Relief Is Almost Immediate. There are some things so exactly i ight that to mention them brings calm and repose. And to use Stuart’s Dys- pepsia Tabiets gives the stomach just that kind of lift that makes you check up one hundred per 6ent to the* good. Pa! ticularly is this true with those who suffer with sour stomach. You feel so mean that you actually hate yourself. And yet in a few minutes these tablets sweeten the stomach, ar rest unnatural fermentation, start a powerful digestive action and prevent the formation of gas. They are composed of only such dl- gestartts as are approved by the very best physicians. Real, live, progressive people want to be around where the activities of life embrace whatever circumstances dictate. If a house party serves a Welsh rarebit go to it. It isn’t the easiest thing in the world to digest, ’tis true, but what of it? Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will take care of you, keep your stomach in. control and your dreams won’t see an army of hobgoblins playing hobs with your nerves. Many physicians regularly prescribe Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets for the stomach disorders of patients who are ill with some constitutional malady. They do so for the reason that these tablets are not a patent medicine and their composition is known and recognized as the most approved and most powerful of all di- gestants. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are ^old and recommended by all druggists at 50c a box.— (Advt.) broken turn it as soon as it is in proper physical condition to plow. Turning It when it is wet would of course be sui cidal at this season of the year, and after such a heavy fall of rain we would not advise subsoiling. After the land has been broken scatter lime over the surface a£ the rate, of one ton per acre*. Use the ground raw rock. That, offered by the company referred to in your.letter is a very good grade accord ing * > the analysis they have furnished us. .We would suggest that you buy it under a guarantee, however. You should seek to secure a high per cent of car bonate and a low per cent of magnesid*. Apply the lime say, thirty days befoi^ planting the corn and harrow it into the surface of the ground. Disk the land and prepare a very fine friable seed bed. Open your furrows about four feet apart and put the manure in the bottom at the rate of not less than five tons per acre. Mix with this as a mini mum 500 pounds of a formula contain ing 9 per cent of phosphorus, 3 per cent of nitrogen derived chiefly from organ ic sources, and 5 per cent of potash. Mix the manure and the fertilizer and the subsoil thoroughly together, draw the furrows together and plant on the level. Aim to secure a stand where the stalks will be about twelve inches apart; Select the choicest type of well selected and proljfic.seed corn you can find. We can iHeccommend Marlboro, Whatley and Hastings. After the corn is up give frequent shallow cultiva tion. The first two or three cultivations may be with a w.eeder. The idea is to destrop weeds and keep the crust brok en. Six weeks after planting use a side application underneath the drill row. The fertilizer in this instance had best be scattered broadcast ahead of the cultivator and worked into the soil. Two weeks . before the corn bunches to tassel apply 100 pounds of nitrate of soda.as a top dressing. With anything like a favorable sea son and careful and persistent cultiva tion and the use of good seed, you should be able to make 100 bushels of corn by following these directions. Of course, there is no guarantee that you will do this, but' we have made as much corn as this on land of similar character by the plan outlined above. * * * PLANTING CORN AND SORGHUM FOR SILAGE. Hi M., Summerville, Ga., writes: 'When planting corn and sorghum for .silage would you plant in the same ^ow? If not, how long after corn should sorghum be planted? How mature should sorg-' hum be when cut for silage? On the college farm we plant corn and sorghum in separate rows, ordi- najrily two rows of corn are planted and then two rows of sorghum. It has been our practice to plant the sorghum be fore the corn. Of course, early plant ing for this ’crop is desirable. If* not, relatively late planting 'should be pur sued, for "the reason that in our expe rience the early crop matures suffi ciently to not be affected seriously by a dry spell which often comes in the spring, and the late crop is generally benefited by the rains of the early sum mer. Our silage corn is not planted as a rule until some thirty days after the field crop. We put the sorghiim in the ground as soon as it warms up suffi- Saving and Investing The lload to Financial Success. BY JOHN S. OSKISON. N. W. Harris retired from the banking business the other day after spending fifty years in building up one of the biggest and soundest investment bank ing houses in the country.-- His suc cess was possible only because he help ed to develop the saving and investing instinct of the people. On the day he retired, a reporter got from Mr. Harris a number of simple maxims which are the outgrowth of h|is fifty years of experience: “A young man must learn to save money as well as to make it. “There is an old proverb, ‘Any fool can make /money; it takes a wise man to save it.* “One way to save money is to lay out a line of policy that is safe, and then stick to it through thick and thin. “Another way ,to save mQney—if a young man c&n’t do it himself—is to marry and let one’s wife handle the pay envelope. “It is as important for a young man to learn to save money as. it is for him to learn books. ‘.‘Money is not everything—real suc cess means more than money—but one must have money to gain success.” I have noticed that the longer men work in the financial field the simpler become their ideas; they cast off the wrappings of financial forms—the in finite details of security issues, the be wildering vocabulary* of the experts— and talk in plain, homely language. B“L fere the Pujo committee of congress the clearest and the most understanda ble testimony was that given by those powerful veterans in the business. Mor gan, Baker, and Schiff. They made it clear that their trade was to handle credit, and they spoke as men who saw their function through no veil of tech nique. To Mr. Harris and men of similar ex- perierfte national prosperity means thrift on the part of everybody—not merely the few with big wages and in herited property. And saving is the basis of all thrift. Any man can find out how to get a made-to-measure tailored suit of lat est style free by writing to Reliable Tailoring Co., 356 S. Peoria St., Chi cago.—(Advt.) STATE BANKERS WILL STRESS AGRICULTURE ATHENS, Feb. 24.—How to promote agriculture in Georgia will be stressed at the annual meeting of the Georgia Bankers’ association, which is to be held at Macon May 16-17. President Andrew M. Soule, of the Georgia State College of Agriculture, has been invited by President Hunt and Secretary Mc- Fadden to strike the keynote of the discussion. This Dr. Soule has consent ed to do and will address the bankers 9n "How Bankers Can Help in the Pro motion of Agriculture in Georgia.” In this connection it is of interest, to re call that Dr. Soule accepted an invita tion to discuss agriculture before 1 the American Bankers' association at 3£>e- troit last year. The welfare of the banking interests in Georgia being almost identical with the agricultural welfare of the state, and the exigencies arising on account of the boll weevil now threatening both, afford a timely opportunity for outlin ing a definite program by which the bankers can enter into the work of ad vancing progressive agriculture. The diversification of crops with intelligent rotation and the advancement of the interests of animal industry, it is stated, will be among the subjocts dis cussed as offering the only practical means of meeting the weevil and for promoting general agricultural prosper ity in the state.

We plant two rows of sorghum, using'' a special plate in the two-horse corn planter. The corn is planted with the same ma chine two weeks to thirty days later. Of course, you understand the sorghum will grow for a longer period and re main green much later in the season than corn.i and especially is this true if the weather should prove dry in the early summer. The great advantage of planting corn and sorghum together is found in the fact that the sorghum retains its juices, and even though the corn be somewhat dry and overripe, the two when run into the silo together form an ideal combination and keep excellently^ mucli better than either one alone. We do not cut the sorghum for silage until it is headed out and the seeds are near ly ripe. If put in the silo too soon a sour product is obtained. * * * A FERTILIZING'FORMULA FOR COTTON. N A. J.

This would give you a formula analyz ing approximately 8.6 per cent of phos- j phorus, 3.1 pfer cent of nitrogen’and -6 ! per cent of potash. We think this for- ! mula would be very good With the ex- 1 ception that it contains too much pot ash.

Unleached wood ashes contain from 4 to 8 per cent of potash, 1 to 2 per cent of phosphoric acid, and 30 to 35 per cent of lime. The potash is contained' in the form of carbonate and is readily available to plants. If one could secure an abundance of wood ashes from hard woods, the potash problem would be solved on many of our farms. There is such a limited amount of this ma*- terial available, however, that it has no appreciable effect on the supply of pot ash. Of course, the ashes should be saved and used as you are proposing to do. Personally, we would be dis posed to apply these separately instead of mixing them with any other form of fertilizer material. You will’fin^i it all right'to use ashes under the drill row for corn at the rate of 100 to 200 pounds per acre. They may be scat tered over the soil broadcast and worked in with a harrow, or placed in- the bottom of the furrow and mixed with the subsoil by tpeans of a bull tongue. They should be applied a few ’days before the seed is put in the ground and it is important that they be well mixed with the soil. Of course, they may be broadcasted over wheat, but we hardly think they would be of any material benefit to wheat at this season of the year, and we would prefer to reserve and use them pn some of the cereals planted this spring.
