H06, CHICAQO 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. * * * SUGGESTIONS ABOUT COMPOSTS. J. Q., Hazleliurst, Ga., writes: I would like to know how to make compost for corn, Irish potates and cotton.

FAIR VIEW FARM Palmetto, Ga. “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. Pancakes and no unpleasant “con sequences” when made with Cottolene Make your pancakes as you always do, using a tablespoonful of Cottolene (instead of butter) and an extra pinch of salt—or. try this: -PERFECT PANCAKES. 1 1-4 cups flour; 1-3 teaspoon salt; 1 tablespoon sugar; 1 cup sour milk! 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.

Lay it upon the shelves and the ants will disappear. It is not poisonous if a child should get hold of it. » Green pennyroyal strewed thickly through the house will expel flies. It leaves no unpleasant odor and has the recommendation of harmlessness. 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 horses and mules. The currency question with most of us is mainly the matter of getting some of it. Obviously elastic currency is the thing. Enough so at least to permit our income to stretch sufficiently to cover our living expenses. 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 want to know? i Market all the old or undesirable ewes and retain nothing but the choicest lambs for breeding purposes. The best you can develop will be none too good, remember that. In spite of all that is said against the heavy boned hogs, we know an Iowa farmer who- has become rich from many years of raising and fattening the big-boned Berkshires. One way to keep young and attrac tive in mind and body, not to mention 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 the w r agon is an unpleasant job. Three 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 feed that produces heat instead of bone and muscle. When proper care is exercised the life of a peach tree is from 12 to 16 yeafs. A handful of shelled grain is always more effective than a club in inducing a pig to travel where you want it. First class fruit in first class shape will probably develop an inquiry for more of the same kind. Getting the best out of life is a big job, but it is worth a mighty effort.
