R ECURRENT with the autumn
comes up again that ever old but
always new proposition of - how
the farmer can secure the largest return
from his cotton seed. There „ are a
certain number of persons in every com
munity who still believe that the seed
used as fertilizer will prove most profit
able to the owner. Some have said
that they have maintained the fertility
of their land by the use of cotton seed
which is no doubt true when the prac
tice they follow is taken into consider
ation, namely, that of returning all
the seed grown to the land. On the other
hand, it is equally true that many other
farmers have maintained the fertility
of their land as effectively and disposed
of theiv seed for one purpose or an
other. The seed have no special virtue
to build up the fertility of the land pro
vided an equal amount of fertilizing ma
terial in as easily assimilable and de
sirable forms to plants is furnished
from a dozen different sources or com
binations of commercial plant food.
The farmer must never lose sight of
the fact that he can not get out of
any product of his farm for fertilizing
purposes a larger benefit financially than
it:*, content of plant food would repre
sent in commercial forms and at pre
vailing market prices. If a man has
$100 in a well organized bank he can
draw it out, but it will seldom if ever
be possible for him m a legitimate
way to get out $105 because his total
capital is represented by $100. In the
same way if a ton of cotton seed con
tains a given percentage of phosphorus
that much phosphorus may become
available to plants if the seed is wise
ly and judiciously used for fertilizing
purposes, but no greater benefit will
accrue to the crop than would be gained
by the use of an equal amount of avail
able phosphorus derived from any other
source. It is along this particular
line that our farmers need enlighten
ment for there is an impression in the
minds of many that in some sort of an
inexplicable way cotton seed products
an effect in the soil greater than its
chemical analysis shows it capable of
rendering. This benefit has been charged
up by some to the amount of humus
which thirty or forty bushels of seed
will provide. Considering an acre of
land represented by 43,660 square feet
and by a weight of five to six million
pounds to a depth of one foot over
this area, it is clearly apparent to one
who gives the subject any extended con
sideration that the comparatively small
amount of cotton seed in question can
not affect the humus content of the
soil. Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen all
enter largely Into plant economy. For
tunately for the farmer he has never
been called on to supply these com
mercially. Nature has done that for
him, and as a rule in a most generous
and lavish manner. These constituents
are so abundantly present in the air,
and are so assimilable by the plants
directly or indirectly from the air that
their supply in an artificial* form has
never been found necesary, and to ar
gue that the use of seed with its large
content of carbyhydrates in the form of
oil is helpful to crop production is
therefore absurd and out of line with
all the information and knowledge which
agricultural chemists have been able to
accumulate since the day of the famous
savant, Liebig.
The facts of the situation are these:
A ton of cotton seed which has been
produced under fairly favorable condi
tions will contain, about 3.15 per cent of
nitrogen, 1.25 per cent of phosphoric
acid and 1.15 per cent of potash. These
are the only elements it contains which
will be of any service in promoting
the growth of the succeeding crop. This
has been demonstrated so conclusively
that argument seems worthless.
Translated into another form, these
figures show that a ton of cotton seed
may contain as nlueh as 63 pounds of
nitrogen, 24 pounds of phosphoric acid
and 23 pounds of potash. Should a
farmer go into the market to buy these
elements and pay 16 cents a pound for
nitrogen, 4 cents for phosphoric acid
and 5 cents for potash, it would cost
him $12.23 to replace the plant food
contained in a ton of cotton seed. If
he applies the seed to his land for fer
tilizing purposes, and this is the only
way in which he can hope to secure a
benefit from its use, he can only hope
for a maximum return of $12.23. Cotton
seed has no mysterious or special power
to benefit or build up the soil in excess
of the plant food it contains, and the
analysis quoted above represents the
fertilizer content of a sample above
rather than below the average of the
seed produced In most of our southern
states. In fact, there is lots of seed
sold which by reason of an excessive
content of moisture, bad handling at the
time of picking or other factors is
damaged.and “off” in value for fertiliz
ing or manufacturing purposes, so that
in this instance probably the maximum
i value of a ton of seed has been set
I forth.
Now, if a farmer can secure $20, $22
or $24 a ton for his seed, surely it is
not possible for him to reserve it and
utilize it for fertilizing purposes and
still feel that he has made a good trade
for himself. Supposing he desires to re
turn to his land the fertilizing value
of his seed, it would still be to his in
terest in most cases to sell the seed
and. replace it with meal. As a mat
ter of fact, 1,000 pounds of high grade
meal would contain between 60 and 70
pounds of nitrogen, 25 to 30 pounds of
phosphoric acid, and 15 to 17.5 pounds
of potash. He would thus be securing
practically the same amount of plant
food from 1,000 pounds of meal a's from
a ton of seed, and the fertilizing con
stituents in the meal would be as easily
and as readily available to his crops
as in the seed. Since the nitrogen would
in both instances be in an organic form
it could be used to advantage on fall-
sown crops and without material danger
of loss through leaching or too rapid
transformation into volatile forms.
All that the farmer can secure, there
fore, above 1,000 pounds of a good grade
of meal for a ton of seed is profit to
him, and certainly when he can make
the exchange on ton for ton basis, it
is impossible to see how he can be any
thing but the gainer, for he has ex
changed a raw product unsatisfactory
to feed directly to his live stock for
one of most desirable quality in this
respect, provided it is fed. with discre
tion and good judgment, and which is
certainly equal in value for fertilizing
purposes, and according to most of the
experiments made and recorded up to
this time, superior to seed as a source
of plant food: The farmer who Is doubt
ful about disposing of his seed should,
of course, satisfy himself relative to
this matter. With a pencil and a niece
of paper and the quotations on seed be
fore him and the price at which he can
purchase meal according to its guar
anteed composition, he can quickly de
termine for himself what would be the
most desirable practice for him to fol
low. The writer has studied this sub
ject very carefully, and has had years of
opportunity in which to examine at first
hand the results obtained with seed and
meal in field tests and as a source of
food for live stock, and is more than
convinced that the farmer who takes
advantage of his opportunity for ex
change or for direct sale will be the
gainer by several dollars per ton.

FAILURE OF GRAIN ON PEAVINES.
C. B. C., Luthersvllle, Ga., writes: What
is the matter with land or what does It
need when peas will make a fine vine but
will bear no peas. It is red land and the
vines make a splendid growth, but bear
very little.
Whn peas make a fine growth of vine
one would naturally expect them to
fruit well unless there is a deficiency
of available phosphoric acid in the soil.
We find from the chemical analysis of
red lands, by which you probably mean
a cecil sandy loam, a great variation
in the amount of phosphoric acid, and
no doubt there is a very wide diver
gence in its availability as well. The
use on the peas of a formula containing
300 to 500 pounds of acid phosphate
would in such instances be advisable.
It will cost comparatively little to try
this treatment and we are inclined to
think you will get beneficial results
therefrom. We believe the acid phos
phate would probably be better than
the basic slag. We are inclined to think
that we would also try lime. In some
examinations made by the writer wnere
complaints of this character have been
previous made, it was found that the
peas seemed to form nodules all right,
but they decay very early in the stage
of growth, thus probably eliminating
the plant’s ability to assimilate suf
ficient nitrogen to mature a crop of
grain. Just what the cause of this de
day may be is unknown as yet, though
wa are making some investigations
along this line and hope to throw some
light on this subject at no distant date.
From our general observation and ex
perience with peas, however, we are in
clined to think that a liberal applica
tion of acid phosphate will be found
beneficial. On land of this character we
would also advise the use of one ton of
pulverized raw rock two weeks or so
before planting the peas. The lime may
be applied to oats in the fall if desira
ble, and will- benefit the pea crop the
next summer. We have secured a larger
initial response from the use of lime
under legumes, such as the cowpeo, than
on any other crop up to the present
time.

“Pape’s Diapepsin” digests
foods when stomach can’t.
Cures indigestion
Do some foods you eat hit back
taste good, but work badly; ferment Into
stubborn lumps and can use a sick,
sour, gassy stomach? Now, Mr. or Mrs.
Dyspeptic, jot this down: Pape’s Dia
pepsin digests everything, leaving noth
ing to sour and upset you. There
never was anything so safely quick, so
certainly effective. No difference how
badly your stomach Is disordered you.
Will get happy relief In five minutes, but
what pleases you most is that it
strengthens and regulates your stomach
so you can eat your favorite foods
without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some
times—they are slow, but not sure.
“Pape’s Diapepsin” is quick, positive
and puts your stomach in a healthy con
dition so the misery won't come back.
You feel different as soon as “Pape’s
Diapepsin” comes in contact with the
stomach—distress just vanishes—your
stomach gets sweet, no gases, no belch
ing, no eructations of undigested food,
your head clears and you feel fine.
Go now. make the best investment
you ever made, by getting a large flfty-
cent case of Pape’s Diapepsin from any
drug store. You realize in five minutes
how needless it is to suffer from Indi
gestion, dyspepsia or any stomach dis
order.— (Advt.)
Composts may be prepared in a great
variety of ways, but if you desire to
use farm-yard manure as the base, we
would suggest that you proceed as fol
lows: First of all, pile the manure so
as to insure its breaking down thorough
ly until in a fine condition. Y r ou should
be certain to keep the pile wet enough
to prevent its fire-fanglng. When the
manure is properly broken down take
1.700 pounds of it and mix with 200
pounds of high-grade acid phosphate
and 100 pounds of kalnit, making 2,000
pounds in all. This formula would
contain about 6 per cent of nitrogen.
1.9 per cent of phosphoric acid and 1.13
per cent of potash. A compost of this
character if used at the rate of two
tons per acre would supply about 24.4
pounds of nitrogen, 76 pounds of phos
phoric acid and 45.4 pounds of potash
This is as much nitrogen, nearly half
as much phosphoric acid and more pot
ash than would be supplied by a ton
of 8-2-2. As this formula is likely to
prove deficient in nitrogen, you can
overcome this defect by side applica
tions of quickly available nitrogenous top
dressings, such as equal mixture of ni
trate of soda and cotton seed meal, oi
sulphate of ammonia and cotton seed
meal, or even blood. These mixtures
should be put on relatively early, and
where an organic source of nitrogen
is used, it is important SRfiat it be cov
ered into the soli. You will find this
formula very good for corn and cot
ton. Under Irish potatoes We would
advise the use of manure the year pre
vious to planting the crop If possible.
Cowpeas and other legumes may be
turned under as a source of vegetable
matter In the fall in preparation of the
land for a crop of Irish potatoes. You
may also use leaf mold and Utter from
the woods mixed with phosphoric acid
and potash in the pro-portione sug
gested above. This formula will prob
ably not be so rich or active in the
matter of stimulating bacterial (level
opment in the soil as where the manure
i3 used.
For Irish potatoes we would be dis
posed to recommend a formula contain
ing 800 pounds of high-grade acid
phosphate, 300 pounds of nitrate o£
seda, 600 pounds of cotton seed meal and
300 pounds of muriate of potash. This
will give you a formula containing ap
proximately 4.4 per cent of nitrogen, 7.1
per cent of phosphoric acid and 8.1 per
cent of cotton seed meal. When used
at the rate of 500 to 1,000 pounds per
acre it should be found satisfactory for
Irish potatoes.

ASHES A.S A SOURCE OF POTASH.
F. C. B., Sautee, Ga.. writes: What is
the value of ashes burnt from the trimmings
of a big sawmill? The wood is mostly pine.
Can I afford to haul them five miles and
spread on my oats, and how much should be
used per acre? The quantity is unlimited;
the hauling is the only expense. I would
not hesitate to use them, but I used a lot
one year under some late wheat, and it
grew well and looked promising, but the
stalk was weak and it all fell down, but
this may have been due to the late sowing.
Wood ashes contain potash in one of
its most desirable forms, and in the
early history of the country was the
chief source of supply of this particular
element. The supply, however, is so lim
ited as to constitute really a negligible
factor in furnishing the large amount
of potash deemed advisable for use in
agricultural operations in the United
States. Wood ashes vary materially in
composition. The softer woods are poor
er and the hard woods richer in this
element as a rule. Ashes also contain
some lime and phosphoric acid in small
quantites. Wood ashes when gathered
for market generally contain a consid
erable proportion of moisture and dirt
and this causes a variation in composi
tion. The analysis of commercial wood
ashes show them to contain 6 per cent
of potfash, 2 per cent of phosphoric acid
and 32 per cent of lime. This is a choice
quality of ashes, however, and the type
of material about which you inquire
is liable to run considerably lower in
these elements than the figures above
noted. We think it poor policy to haul
ashes of uncertain quality a distance
of five miles. About all you would get
out of the ashes is 30 cents’ worth of
potash and 8 cents’ worth of phosphor
ic acid. If one had land close to the
supply of ashes it would probably pay
to go to the trouble of scattering them
over it. The potash should not have
weakened the straw of the wheat about
which you inquire. The chances are this
was due to the assimilation of an un
due proportion of nitrogen.
* * *
PREPARING LAND FOR WHEAT.
J. A. J., Tucker, Ga., writes: I have one
acre of gray land planted last year in
wheat and after the wheat was cut was
planted in corn and peas. Am now dynamit
ing this land for wheat again. Please give
formula for mixing compost for this acre.
Our experience with dynamite up to
date has not justified the expense en
tailed in the operation. From this you
should not conclude that we take a
position that dynamite can never be
used with profit and satisfaction. We
think, however, in general agricultural
practice that one can prepare the soil
by the use of good sized horses or
mules and large plows as effectively
and at a lower cost than will often
be accomplished by the use of dyna
mite. On soils of the character you
mention and where you have added so
little to the supply of vegetable mat
ter by a crop rotation system, we would
suggest the advisability of top dress
ing well with yard manure or gathering
as much compost and litter from the
forest as possible and scattering it
over the ground. This litter should
be worked in with an eighteen to twen
ty-four-inch disk or may be plowed
down, whichever you find the most con
venient. We would then advise the
use on this land of a formula contain
ing 8 per cent of phosphoric acid, at
least 2 per cent of nitrogen and 4 per
cent of potash. Three hundred pounds
would be a minimum application, and
we would prefer to use 600 where
large yields are anticipated. We would
naturally expect to apply some nitrate
of soda or other quickly available
source of nitrogen as a stimulus to
the crop in the early spring. The
nitrogen used in the fall should be
supplied from organic sources so that
it would not become available before
the plants can take it up and utilize
it. We are sure you will find the ad
dition of vegetable matter most desira
ble in putting your soil in good con
dition for wheat, and our experience
indicates that the above fertilizer for
mula should prove desirable for this
crop.
* * *
GROWING VETCH AND CLOVER.
C. M. G., Cutkbert, Ga., writes: 1 would
like Instruction for growing vetch and the
different clovers for cover crops. Do you
think it is now too late to plant to ad
vantage?
It is not rather late to sow any of the
clovers though vetch may be planted
in your section of the state up to De
cember 1 with good prospects of suc
cess. We would advise, however, that
you use the hairy vetch at this late
date. This variety makes little growth
before the spring opens up and you will
probably be disappointed so far as its
value as a fall cover crop is concerned.
Crimson clover might be seeded now and
in a very favorable season do fairly
well. Our experience, however, IS
against the late seeding of this crop.
Where either vetch or clover is used
they should be inoculated. You can
probably secure the cultures free ot
cost on application to the bureau of
plant industry, United States depart
ment of agriculture, Washington. D. C.
We would advise the sowing of both of
these crops as soon as practicable. It
is best to prepare the land very care
fully and enrich It with yard manure
unless you have previously turned un
der cowpeas. An application of lime
at the rate of one ton of the raw rock
per acre will be found desirable. Tho
use of a formula containing a consid
erable percentage of phosphorus and
potash will also be found advantageous.
We’would say to use 300 pounds of a
10-4 under these crops.

3-4 teaspoon soda; 1 egg. Sift flour, salt and sugar together; dissolve
soda in sour milk and add gradually to the flour, beating smooth. Add
well beaten egg. Bake on a hot, iron griddle, slightly greased with
Cottolene. Let the cakes spread on griddle until quite thin.
Cottolene makes all foods palatable and easily digested. It goes much farther
than butter, lard or any other cooking fat and is more economical.

Many farmers are disgusted with
horse raising, but it is mainly because
they pay too little attention to breed
and conrormation of sire or aam. There
never has been a much better demand
for well shaped, active, fair sized

The currency question with most of

thing. Enough so at least to permit
our income to stretch sufficiently to

Well directed curiosity is a good
thing. All around us are men who are
curious about things and the world is
a better place to live in as a result of
their efforts. Isn’t there something you

remember that.
In spite of all that is said against

One way to keep young and attrac

beauty and general attractiveness, is
to take a vacation away from home and
business once in a while.
Lifting live hogs from the ground to

dollars will build a crate which will do
the work better and easily.
• Watch the litter carefully during the
first few dayB and if the short, needle
like teeth pierce the sow’s teats clip
off the teeth with a pair of pinchers.
We do not believe in self-feeders for
the hogs, because a great deal of feed
is wasted in this way, besides the feed
troughs cannot be kept clean.
, It is a pig's business to speedily
make a hog of himself. This is all
right for the pig but a pretty poor oc
cupation for people.
Respect your wife’s feelings. Get a
new suit of clothes for your town trips
with her. And it might be a good idea
to also get something new for her.
The beauty of hog raising is that
with good management they are always
au good as cash in the bank because
there is always a sale for them.
Too many farmers have not learned
that it is all wrong to feed a sow on

When proper care is exercised the

CLARKESVILLE, Ga„ Nov. 17.—With
a most remarkable enthusiasm the
Clarkesville board of trade has taken up
the Idea of Georgia Products day,
though they have decided to go the
state chamber of commerce one better
by confining the banquet to be held here
next Tuesday to Habersham county
products. It is planned to have no
less than 200 different dishes, prepared
from more than 100 separate and dis
tinct meats and vegetables, all grown In
this county. One of the most novel fea
tures will be “Habersham coffee,” a
fine substitute for the popular beverage,
prepared by 1 one of Clarkesville’s citi
zens.
