A good many inquiries have been re ceived of late concerning the fertiliza tion of onions. Presuming that most of those who are interested in this matter either contemplate putting out sets or have already sown the seed and are now ready to transplant, the data in this article deals chiefly with the prep aration of the seed bed and the fertili zation . of the crop. Onions grown Irom seed are ready to transplant when they are about the size of a small lead pen cil, and in most instances will do much better if grown in a seed bed and trans planted in the open field rather than where sown directly in the drill and thinned down after a stand is* .obtained. Of course, in the small garden where the onion is simply grown for home use, planting in the drill row is not an objectionable practice, as Ihe very- young and tender onions can be used tor flavoring and where ground is scarce a saving is effected by planting where the crop is expected to mature. As a rule, either the sets or the young plants should be put from four to six inches apart in the drill row, and if the crop has been planted where it is to mature, thinning down to the distance indicated is important. A good many varieties of onions may he grown with satisfaction, but climatic condi tions will determine to some extent which variety can be grown to the best advantage, though often the one chosen is more a matter of fancy than any thing else. There are two general types of onions, the globe and the multiplier or the potato onion. In the first group may be classed some of the better known strains as the white and yellow Bermuda, Red Wethersfield, Yellow Danvers, Italian Queen and Giant Rocca. The physical condition of the soil in tended for the growth of onions is as important as any other factor^ in the production of this crop. The soil must be deep and friable and still retentive of moisture. A poorly drained soil, on the other hand, is badly suited to the crop. A fairly deep soil and one free from clods, lumps and stones is very impor tant. A rich loam containing enough sand to insure goed drainage provides a suitable soil. The soil should be en riched with vegetable matter, though it is desirable that this should be done Whenever 'possible previous to the plant ing of the onion crop. For instance, cowpeas or other legumes turned under will tend to put the soil in lirstclass condition for onions. Yard manure is mvaiuable in the growth of this crop, out it is desirable whenever practicable to apply the manure to the previous crop. Of course, fine, well-rotted manure may be incorporated with the surface soil* by thoroughly cultivating and har rowing before the crop is planted, and it is important to use anywhere from five to twenty tons per acre, the amount depending on the cost and character of the supply available and the condition of the land to be planted. Success in the growth of onions de pends on an intensive practice. This means that the land must be rich and well supplied with those fertilizing ele ments on which the crop makes the .leaviest demand. The onion in order to grow quickly, have a desirable flavor, and be tender and Juicy, should be lib erally fertilizer! with nitrogen. A formu la containing 5 per cent of this elment and supplied largely from organic sources will be found very desirable. Phosphorus is also an important ele ment in the production of onions, and a formula containing about 6 per cent of phosphoric acid will answer very well for this crop. Onions require a large amount of pot ash; more in fact of this element than any other constituent which the gar dener is called on to supply and even though the crop b© grown on Ians above the average, in fertility and which are regarded as exceedingly rich garden soils, the liberal application of potash will bo found profitable with onions.

Room fc,Cincinnati, Ohio. would suggest a formula containing 10 per cent of this element, and while it may be derived from several sources, probably the muriate should bo given preference because of the high percent age required and its general effect on the crop. A good formula, therefore, frr onions would probably be recog nized by the average gardener as a 6-5-10. This formula should be used ordinarily at the rate of 1,000 pounds per acre, as few crops require more lib eral feeding or respond more freely to better treatment. The fertilizer should be applied before the crop is planted anu well mixed into the soil. It may be used under the drills which should not be over fourteen to eighteen inches arart or it may be broadcasted and thoroughly worked into the soil. Con centrating the fertilizer under the drill row is probably the preferable practice, and especially is this true where the land is not in the best physical condi- lion or as well supplied as is desirable with vegetable matter. •' The oninion is a crop which must he pushed forward rapidly from the date of planting, and therefore the use of side applications of quickly available nitrogenous fertilizers will be found de- siaable. Three weeks after planting a light application of nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia will be beneficial. This application should be repeated in about three weeks. Probably from three to four light applications of nitrogen ous top dressings will prove profitable. Of course, much depends on the natural fertility of the soil and some on sea sonal conditions as well, but ordinarily ironi 75 to 100 pounds of nitrate of soda can bo used to good effect or from 60 to 75 pounds of sulphate of ammonia. Those contemplating the transplant ing of onions at this season of the year or the planting of sets or who may al ready have established the crop on lim ited areas in their garden or under field conditions will do well to consider these suggestions very seriously, and if they have not provided a sufficient amount of commercial plant food to properly stimulate and promote rapid growth of the crop, they should take steps to do sc at the earliest possible date, for these figures are based, not only on personal observation and experience, but are subscribed to and followed extensively by the most successful growers of this crop in the southeastern states. V * !> CKOOSTXCt land for alfalfa. W. D. s., Commerce. Oa., writes- I vx- Vr , T ? T nv ? 0,n< > aJfalfa this fall and have uw> kinils of soil—one stick ml soil with ittl clay giibsoU. and the other sandy loam with red clay subsoil. Which of these anile would yon consider best for alfalfa? Both are of nixrat the same fertility and have a pea crop on them this year. While alfalfa can probably be grown with considerable success on both the types of soil mentioned in your letter, we would be inclined to favor the sandy loam-as being easier to handle and put in condition for the reception of this crop. No doubt you have prepared the land already, and if so, the recent rains have settled It thoroughly, and you should now harrow it and then apply a ton of pulverised rock and harrow It into the surface. If you can secure any well rotted yard manure top dress the land with this. Leaf , mold and com post material which is in a finely divid ed condition makes a fair substitute for the manure. From five to ten tons per acre Will be about the right amount to use Apply a relatively high grade of ertilizer 10 tlie land, using say a mix ture composed of 200 to 300 pounds of cotton seed meal. 400 to 500 pounds of acid phosphate, and 200 pounds of kainit or 100 pounds of muriate of pot ash. This fertilizer should be well worked Into the - surface soil, and *n two or three days sow the alfalfa. Get the alfalfa Into the ground as soon as practicable now. Early seeding wifh this crop is likely to give you the best re sults, provided you do not sow so early as to encourage the growth of weeds We would advise the use of at least 30 pounds of recleaned American-grown sceo. We would cross seed the land. ” distribute it broadcast, but this is difficult to do satisfactorily, n is ■ uUti distribute with a seeder and cover with a weeder or a light smooth ing harrow. Do not cover the seed to a depth of more than half an inch Be sure to inoculate the seed. You can se cure artificial cultures for this purpose from the bureau of plant industry, department of agriculture, with full directions how to use them. • * * . REMOVING STUMPS a’stmnp ■ HI.!!, .

I ersonally, I would be inclined to trv blowing out the stumps In question with dynamite or giant powder rather than Investing in a stump puller. We think this would be more economical con sidering t.he area of land you have to clear. Light sandy land should not be broken deeply. Soils of this kind seldom pack because the particles of which they are composed are relatively large, and therefore there is a tendency to porosity rathr than to compactness. If the land has a stiff heavy subsoil, and there is danger of forming a hard pan, breaking it up to a considerable depth once in a while is no doubt advisable, but or dinarily we do not think this soil should be plowed over six inches deep in the spring or summer, though possibly it might be plowed as deep as eight inches m the fall, especially -if it i s to be left exposed to the wltner freezes. • Ov A STUDENT FARMER’S VIEWS. s *» Robinson, Ga., writes- I am thinking of buying a pair of Tamwortb pigs. I would like to take a short course u agriculture as I feel it would be of great benefit to me. About what would it cost me. I am making some money farming by common sense methods and the aid of farm journals. I will make plenty of corn to run my farm and twelve or thirteen bales of cotton to the plow using two or three- quarters ton of guano to the plow. I want some advice in regard to mixing fertilizer using cotton seed meal, acid phosphate and muriate of potash as I do not know how to proportion the various ingredients. I want to plant fewer acres to cotton and more to grain and com. You will make no mistake in pur chasing a pair of Tamworth pigs. This breed is well adapted to Georgia and has madd good record throughout the state. By air means take a course of in struction with us if you can possibly do so. A ten-day course should not cost you more than $10 besides the rail road fare, which we think will not ex ceed $5 in your case. Surely you can afford to be away from home for ten days and to make the small expenditure indicated for the purpose of informing yourself relative to the large number of subjects discussed by 0 ur professors during the short course. The very fact that you need information about fertil izers w r ill make this course a most profitable investment to you. You did not state what kind of land i you desire to fertilize, but for clay lands we think an 8-3-3 will answ'er very well • for cotton and a 9-3-4 for corn. On I sandy lands we suggest the use of 9-3^4 for cotton and a 10-3-4 for corn. We think these formulas had best be used at the rate of 500 pounds per aeje. At least 300 pounds should be used on cotton as a minimum with 200 pounds as a side application. For corn one can af- j ford to use a little more fertilizer than for cotton. If you desire to prepare a formula from cotton seed meal and acid j phosphate and muriate of potash, we would suggest that you mix togeth er 1,000 pounds of cotton seed meal containing hot less than 6.18 pounds of nitrogen, 900 pounds of acid phosphate and 100 pounds of muriate of potash. This formula would contain approxi mately 61.8 pounds of nitrogen, 169 pounds of acid phosphate and 68 pounds of potash per ton. You will see, there fore, that it approximates an 8-3-3. With this standard as a basis you can add or take from the several elements in the formula according to the needs of the various soil types. * * # COTTON CULTURE IN ALABAMA. G. V. V., Salter, Ala., writes: My cotton sbeds about half its forms, and I am in clined to think it is the land and not the cotton which is the cause. I have five acres of sage land that was turned Inst winter, planted in corn this year, that I want to plant in cotton next year. The land is grav gravelly wi ll a northern ex posure. Will you please tell me how to plant, fertilize and cultivate? PITTSBURGH Open STearSls Steel Wire Pare Zinc Galvanizing There is some variation in the de gree of shedding with different varieties of cotton. As a rule, however, most va rieties shed in proportion to the soil’s ability to sustain a given crop. In other words, if the land is rich, retentive of moisture and contains a sufficient amount of readily available plant food a crop of cotton will mature in an aver age season with a relatively small per centage of “shedding.” One of the rea sons why cotton sheds is due to a de ficiency of vegetable matter in our soils. During a drought period which occurs at some time of the growing season in practically every year, the plant is un able to sustain the amount of fruit it is carrying and hence the trouble re ferred to in your letter. The first thing for you to do is to enrich your soil with vegetable matter. This can not be done all at once, but you should rotate your crops with this end in view. Next use compost or yard manure at the rate of two to five tons per acre. Fertilize land o£ the character mentioned in your letter with a formula containing 4 per cent of organic nitrogen, 10 per cent of phosphorus and 5 per cent of pot ash. Use at least 300 pounds under the drill row at the time of planting and 200 pounds as a side application. Possi bly the use of 50 pounds of nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia about the first of July will also be found profit able. The variety of cotton mentioned by you has made a fairly good record on our test plats at the college. + * * NOTES ON ALFALFA. V. 1). I..

Curious Japanese Fowls It is desirable that land intended for alfalia be prepared as quickly as possi ble, as it should be allowed to stand for some time before planting; In order that a firm seed bed. may be obtained. Tf your land grew peas this summer wc would advise that you cut them off and turn the refus'd under as .quickly as possible. Then roll the land to break the clods and lump? and firm it. Cross harrow it thoroughly^ Next apply at least one ton of pulverized lime rock the largest particles’of which are about the size of wheat grains. You should not get the lime in the form of an im palpable powder as it is liable to form in small concretions and not be of as much service in the soil as wnen m a slightly coarser form. Two weeks after the lime has been applied harrow the land thoroughly. Broadcast manure over it at the rate of live to ten tons per acre. Apply a formula containing 4 per cent of nitrogen, 10 per cent of phosphoric acid and, 4 per cent of pot ash. Five hundred to one thousand pounds per acre will not be too much to use. Harrow and work the * fer tilizer thoroughly into the soil, and a couple of days later sow recleaned American alfalfa seed which has been properly inoculated at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre.

It should, be Covered to a depth of about a half inch with a brush or light smoothing harrow or a stiff tooth or Wheeled weeder.

M., Manchester, Ga., writes;: We wish to plant a pasture of about twenty acres with burr clover, and wOuitl like all the Information you can give us concerning the planting and cultivation of this crop, and also the inoculation of the seed. Among the most wonderful of rare fowls are the Phoenix, the males among which have tails five feet long. It is the custom to keep these birds in houses, the only windows in which arc near the roof, and with perches in front of the windows so high that the tail feathers will not drag on the ground. Each day the birds are taken for a walk while an attendant carefully holds up the tail so that the feathers will not become broken or soiled. Mounted specimens of the cock ancl hen of this breed were obtained in Tokio by H. D. Baker, vice consul general to Australia. The tail of the rooster is eleven feet long. The hen is very plain. These cocks are very vain of .their beau ty. Rape in the Corn Field As a feeding proposition there is none that affords better profits, considering the amount of capital invested, than fat tening sheep in the corn field whefe rape has been sowed at the* last cultivation of corn. The rape should be sowed at the last time the corn is cultivated. The sheep may be bought early and pastured or fed earlier soiling crops until the rape is ready for them to be turned into the corn field. The Dwarf Essex rape is the variety best adapted for sheep pasture. About five or six pounds of seed will afford an excellent stand if sowed broadcast after the final cultivation of the corn field, providing that the moisture conditions are favor able for an early germination of the seed. Practically no damage will result to the corn crop, the sheep will consume a large percentage of the lower leaves and lodged stalks. Old breeding ewes that have passed their maternity useful ness can always bo bought at prices which make them profitable to turn into a rape and corn field. Yearling wethers may be fattened in the same way. No grain foods will be required. Rape alone will produce a sufficient increase in weight to insure a good profit. By growing rape in the corn field and pasturing it with sheep an intelligent flock owner may greatly increase his income from his corn fields alone. Notes of the Ho.{ Lot Mistakes In pig- feeding 1 are costly. In the short life of the pig there is little time to correct mistakes. Because the hog- has the ability to utilize grain foods so efficiently and economically is a poor excuse for feed ing grain exclusively and neglecting to reduce the cost of pork growing by the use of supplemental forage and pas ture crops. The object of sanitation in the hog 1 Fall Seeding of Closer Some farmers think that fall is the •best tirte in which to sow clover seed, while others are equally as sure that spring is the best. If the right kind of seed is provided and the seed bed properly prepared, the seeding may be successfully done either in th^ spring qr in the fall. If, however, poor seed is sown and the ground is not prop-' eriy prepared, there is liable to be a failure, no matter when the work is done. I have had success in sowing both in the fall and in the spring. I cannot see much difference. Fall sowing is generally preferable, because it can be done at a time when there is not so much rush work on the farm. This be ing- true, a better job can be done, and, consequently, a better stand will be the result. When I intend to sow clover in the fall, I plow the ground about the middle ! of August. About ten days after be- ! ing plowed it is harrowed thoroughly I and leveled with a long float. This float I is made similar to a road drag and, In I passing over the field, it levels the | ground very smoothly. Either in the spring or fall seeding this, float should be used. In about a week after the ground has been harrowed and leveled with the float, it is worked again with a harrow, followed by a light planker. Then I sow the plat to rye, placing on about j three pecks to the acre, and harrow I the ground twice, once each way. After ‘ this is done. I sow the clover seed at the rate of fifteen pounds to the acre*, and give the ground one light harrow ing.— H. U. . yards and houses is to secure the ; greatest degrees of bodily health and I vigor, because the animal will develop | better and be less susceptible to dis- i ease. SEE HIM FIRST! Burr clover should be planted imme diately. Ag a rule it should be seeded in the month of September. In favorable seasons some planting may often be done in August, and, of course, where a mild open winter follows seeding tip to October 15 is practicable, especially in the southern part of the state. In plant ing burr clover in a Bermuda pasture we believe it will pay you to open fur rows four or five feet apart with a small scooter plow and drop or scat ter the burrs in these at the rate of one to two bushels per acre. Of course, if you desire to secure a thick stand in the shortest possible time, the rows had best be only half the distance apart indicated and at least twice as much seed used. We would suggest that the burrs be covered by means of a brush or drag harrow run across the LAXATIVE FOR OLD ‘ PEOPLE—“CASKARETS” Salts, calomel, pills, act on bowels like pepper acts in nostrils Get a 10-cent box now.

As thin seeding as this will not furnish much grazing the first year, but should enable you to establish a stand.

Liming land intended for burr clover is good prac tice. You can apply it. to the surface of the soil any time from now on, the sooner the better. Use at least one ton of pulverized lime rock which contains from 90 to 95 per cent, of carbonate of lime. Harrow the lime into the sod as thoroughly as possible. Some consider able trouble is often experienced in get ting a stand of burr clover, but if you secure only a partial ‘stand and allow the crop to go to seed, you should have no trouble in getting it well set in the Bermuda pasture in the course of a few ! years. Some fertilizer, especially a top j dressing with yard manure, will be ! found very helpful in improving the ! stand.

All the buildings have been re painted and altogether ihe grounds pre sent as attractive an appearance as *ny fair association could wish. The greatest attraction of the fair last year was the horse racing and the races will be more interesting this year than last. Some of the racers have already arrived and others will come in every day until the opening race of next Mon day. Handsome purses have been of fered and no fair in the south will have a finer string of horses for its racing program than the Griffin fair. The races will be run daily and one o the most dar ing aviatofs of the country will make a flight in his air machine each day. The midway will be unusually good as only high class attractions have been granted concessions. The officers have closed a deal with Gentry's dog and pony show for the last day of the fair, which will doubtless prove a good drawing card. While this section of the state has been liberally advertised for several weeks past, the officers have decided to wind up this week with a whirlwind of advertising. On early Wednesday morn ing about twelve automobiles will leave Griffin loaded with boosters and adver tising matter showing the attractions of- j fered by the fair. These cars Will visit j Concord, Woodbury, Greenville, Newnan and DaGrange, and all intermediate towns j and at each place will be left advertrs- lng matter and a cordial invitation to the people to visit Griffin during the fair. ' President A. P. Patterson is very enthu- ! siastic and optimistic over the outlook for I the fair and says that the only thing that can prevent its being a grand success is a week of rain. With fair weather Grif fin will be crowded to its utmost capacity next week with visitors.
