INFLUENCE OF FERTILIZERS AND LIME ON COTTON Fertiliser test plats have now been maintained in several parts of the state for the past three years. The object of the tests conducted on these several soil areas has been to determine the in fluence of fertilizers and lime on cot ton production. The areas of soil on which the work has been conducted have been selected with care and the plats laid off accurately and a careful record of the work maintained. In order that the test might be as representative as possible, the test areas have been dis tributed as widely over the state as possible, some twenty-seven of them now being established. The same amount and kind of fertilizer has been Used in all instances and each acre of land has been divided into ten plats of uniform size and character as to soil drainage and general conditions in so far as the eye can judge. Careful analy ses were made of these soil areas and the gross amount of plant food they con tain determined. Later on other analy ses will be made, thereby affording an opportunity to see whether the store of plant food in the soil has been decreased or increased through the agency of the methods of management followed. The reader should understand in this connec tion that these test plats all covered three acres, and that when one acre is growing cotton, the next acre is devoted to corn, and the third acre to winter oats followed by cowpeas. In other words, a systematic three-year rotation is maintained on these areas with the idea of building them up through the us of fertilizers, lime and green crops. One rotation period has just been com pleted and the results obtained with cot ton on five areas of land in south Geor gia during the years 1912, 1913 and 1914 are presented for the information of the reader. The first of the test plats on each area is used as a check plat. To the second plat 100 pounds of muriate of potash was applied; to the third plat, 400 pounds of acid phosphate; to the fourth plat, 140 pounds of dried blood; to the fifth plat, 40 pounds of acid phos phate and 100 pounds of muriate of pot ash; to the sixth plate, 140 pounds of dried blood and 100 pounds of muriate of potash; to the seventh plat. 140 pounds of dried blood. 400 pounds of acid phosphate; to the eighth plat, 140 pounds of dried blood, 400 pounds of acid phosphate and 100 pounds of mu riate of potash; to the ninth plat, 3.000 pounds of finely ground rock phosphate and 400 pounds of acid phosphate; to the ninth plat. 3,000 pounds of finely ground rock phosphate, 40 pounds of acid phosphate and 100 pounds of mu riate of potash. The average of three years trials shows that the check plat produced 617 pounds of seed coton. The yield of seed cotton was increased by 30 pounds where 100 pounds of muriate of potash were applied. When 400 pounds of acid phosphate were applied the yield of seed cotton was increased by 64 pounds. When 140 pounds of dried blood were used the yield of seed cotton over the check plate was raised to 98 pounds. The use of acid phosphate and potash to gether raised the yield over the check plat by 159 pounds. When nitrogen and phosphoric acid were used together the yield of seed cotton over the check plat wax raised to 203 pounds. When a complete fertilizer, consisting of the three elements in the quantities shown above was applied, the yield of seed cotton over the check plat was raised to 303 pounds. In the case of rock phosphate combined with acid phos phate. the increase over the check plat was 95 pounds: and with rock phos phate, acid phosphate and potash com bined, the increase over the check plat amounted to 155 pounds. When lime was added to the soil at the rate of 1,500 pounds of caustic lime and 3.000 pounds of raw ground rock, the check plat show an increase over the area where no lime was used of 32 COW PEAS FOR SALE MIXED BRABHAMS IRONS WHIPPOORWILLS CLAYS UNKNOWNS WHITE TABLE PEAS 10 OTHER VARIETIES.

THE ATLANTA SEMI WEEKLY JOURN-XL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 1, 1916. pounds The largest increase from the use of lime seemed to be in association with potash, and amounted to 170 pounds of seed cotton per acre. Where nitrogen and potash were used together, the in crease due to lime was apparently 144 pounds. When lime was used with rock phosphate there was a decrease of 11 pounds; and where lime was used with rock phosphate, phosphoric acid and pot ash, there was an increase of only 33 pounds. It appears from these results, therefore, that lime was not used with profit on cotton. In this connection, the increase due to fertilizers on the limed area was 243 pounds where 140 pounds of dried blood and 100 pounds of potash were applied; 206 pounds where 140 pounds of dried blood and 400 pounds of acid phosphate were used; and 308 pounds where a complete fertilizer, consisting of 140 pounds of dried blood, 400 pounds of acid phosphate and 100 pounds of pot ash, was used. It appears, therefore, that nitrogen is a limiting factor in cotton produc tion in south Georgia, and that this should be increased in the soil very ma terially through the use of green crops plowed under, yard manures, compost and supplemental commercial fertilizers. Naturally, the farmer can not expect to buy nearly all the nitrogen which will be required to produce profitable crops of cotton. Therefore, he must depend on using means of supplying this ele ment which are at once economical and practical. Since there is an abundance of nitrogen in the air, he must so ad just his business as to make legumes gather a considerable quantity of this element and store it in his soil. By em phasizing live stock production and ro tating his crops he can also increase the quantity of manure and thus add to the store of nitrogen. Phosphoric acid and potash when com bined gave a considerable increase, but it appears from the results that the single elements when used alone did not in crease the yield to anything like tne extent pertaining where a complete fer tilizer was applied. For instance, an increased yield of 308 pounds of seed cotton would be equivalent to at least 108 pounds of lint, which at 10 cents a pound would amount to SIO.BO, or at 12 cents a pound to $12.96. The ferti lizer used should not cost under normal conditions over $5.00, leaving a very good profit, therefore, from its use. The foregoing facts should be careful ly considered and digested by every farmer who is attempting to grow cot ton under soil and climatic conditions similar to those prevailing in south Georgia. In north Georgia where the same ex periments were conducted on five area of land during the three years in question, results of similar import were obtained. Where no lime was applied, the largest increase in seed cotton o'er the check plat was 311 pounds obtained with a complete fertilizer. The next largest in crease was 270 pounds obtained from a combination of phosphoric acid and pot ash. The next largest increase was 239 pounds obtained from the combination of nitrogen and phosphoric acid. As in other instances, the rock phosphate in combination with phosphoric acid and potash did not show large increases; at least not large enough to make its use practically or profitable under the condi tions pertaining in the tests in question. Where lime was used in combination with the fertilizer formulas set forth at the beginning of this article, the largest increase over the check plat was 179 pounds of seed cotton obtained with an application of phosphoric acid and pot ash. Nitrogen and potash gave an in creased yield over the check plat of Li pounds of seed cotton, and a complete fertilizer, 112 pounds. As In the case where no lime was used, the plats fer tilized with rock phosphate and acid phosphate and rock phosphate and potash did not give a sufficient large increase over the check plat to justify the use of these materials. The increase due to fertilizers on north Georgia soils when these materials were used on limed areas were as fol lows; The largest yield over the cheek plat of 350 pounds of seed cotton was obtained with a complete fertilizer; the next largest yield of 276 pounds was ob tained with a combination of acid phos phate and potash: the third largest yield of 233 pounds was obtained with a com bination of blood and potash: and the fourth largest yield of 215 pounds was obtained with a combination of blood and acid phosphate. These results show a substantial profit from the use of a complete fertilizer, though there was not enough increase on the lined areas as compared with the uniimed to justify the use of lime in as sociation with the productio”n of cotton on north Georgia soils. These results, ot course, are subject to modification and change in the future. The tests will be continued through a series of years, each year adding to their value and enabling more definite and valuable deductions to be made for the information and guid ance of Georgia farmers. • • • RESULTS OF APPLYING FLOATS ’ J. 8. K., Cave Spring. Ga., writes: 1 would like to know the results of your ex periments with r«w phosphate, or floats. How should the price compare with acid phoephat?? Which is the be»t fertilizer one made from acid phosphate and cotton seed meal or acid phosphate, tankage and blood ? The returns obtained from the use of raw ground phosphate rock or floats on our test plats in various parts of Geor gia have been disappinting up to the present time. These soils as you undei stand are not well supplied with veg etable matter. In order to secure good results from floats it is essential that large amounts of vegetable matter be supplied to the soil in the form of yard manures of green leguminous crops turn ed under. In north Georgia where 3.000 pounds of floats was applied per acre the increased yield of corn and oats was practically nothing. With cotton the in crease amounted to 19.5 pounds of seed cotton per acre. You will thus see that it did not pay to use floats. Possibly a smaller amount of this material might have given practically the same results and thus lessened' the cost of the appli cation. Floats cost us about $8 per ton. Pre sumably you can buy it for somewhat near the same price. The freight will of course influence the amount asked for it to some extent. We do not think you will And a better formula to use under existing conditions than a combination of cotton seed ineal, tankage or blood and acid phosphate. Cotton seed meal, as you know, contains about 2 per cent of this element. Acid phosphate is probably the most satis- i factory carrier of phosphoric acid which we can utilize at the present time. The] nitrogen in blood and tankage becomes; readily available and it is a very good i source from which to obtain this mate-' rial. STIMULATING SEED AND LINT PRO DUCTION. G. A. L., Powersville, Ga., writes: I am preparing to plant fresb ground in cotton the coining season, and 1 believe fresh ground lias a tendency to produce stalk with little fruit. Could I overcome this tendency by planting any particular kind of seed: What varieties would you suggest for fresh sandy loam ground? What formula would you recommend under the circumstances? Where land tends to produce an abund ance of stalk, it would ordinarily not ap pear to be benefited by heavy applica tions of nitrogen. Under conditions such as you describe we would be inclined, however, to emphasize the use of acid phosphate as this is the element con cerned in the production of seed and the hastening of maturity. We believe that you can afford to use as much as 300 pounds of this material per acre and that you would find it of advantage to do so as the soils in Georgia as a rule are not well supplied with this element. You would probably also find it good practice under ordinary circumstances to use some potash, but under existing conditions this would not be practicable for reasons with which you are familiar. The seed is influenced by its natural in herent qualities, and also by the char acter of soil on which it is planted. Land which tends to produce a large stalk of cotton will produce relatively large stalks from seed that on average soil will only produce a medium sized plant. The earlier maturing varieties of cotton as a rule do not produce as large stalks as the later maturing sorts. We believe vou will find Covington's Toole, Trice and Cleveland’s Big 801 l very good sorts to plant in your section of the slate. • a a MERITS OF SLACKED LIME C. 8.. Babcock. Ga.. writes: I am ad vised to use slaked lime as a fertilizer. Please advise me whether It would pay aud in what way should it be used to get the | best results? Lime is valuable in Georgia soils fori correcting acidity, for improving the me chanical condition, for destroying objec tionable insects and fungi and for pro moting the welfare of the bacteria which is essential to the proper production of legumes. On soils well supplied with vegetable matter ground raw rock can be used at the rate of 1,000 pounds and upward per acre. We think it best to use a ton broadcasted over the surface of the ground after the land has been plowed. Harrow over the top of the soil but do not mix with Well slaked lime can be used but we think the raw ground rock will be found quite satisfactory and it is somewhat easier to handle. This material should of course be ground rather finely. Lime rock will be of greatest benefit if used before legumes are planted. At least this has been our experience. It may be at times an advantage to use it on corn and cotton, probably being more benefi cial under cotton than corn upon the whole. Lime of course is a corrective of certain conditions in the soil but will not take the place of commercial fer tilizers. We have found it to increase the yield of legumes grown for hay by one-half to three-fourths of a ton per acre. • • • SAWDUST AS A SOURCE OF FERTIL IZER J. L. H.. Gastonia. N. C., writes: We have a lot of oak and hickory sawdust that has been sawed about two years and is well rotted. Is it worth anything as a fertilizer. If so, how would be the best way to use it on red land? Sawdust contains comparatively little plant food. A fair average analysis shows a ton of it to contain about two pounds of nitrogen, four pounds of phos phoric acid and eight pounds of potash. We do not think it can be used to much advantage for fertilizing purposes; cer tainly not if you had to haul it any considerable distance. It is true that it contains some potash, and that is an item to be reckoned with. We would not use sawdust under the drill row or concentrate it in the field, but if ap plied at all. would broadcast it. Some times it can be used with fair results as afi absorbent in stables. We judge, however, that the sawdust about which you write would not be very satisfactory for this purpose, especially as it has been exposed to the weather for two years. We think that dried leaves, for est litter and woods earth would be found more satisfactory for the enrich ment of the soil, for absorbents in sta bles and or compost purposes than saw dust. GIRLS!

TICK EMDIHTION WORK GOES FORWARD RIPIDLY Dairymen and Farmers Are Closely Following Work of Experts (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) SANDERSVILLE, Ga., .lan. 31. —The tick eradication work being carried on in Washington county under the super vision of a government expert is being closely followed by dairymen and farm ers, generally. Concrete dipping vats have been built In every section of the county and during the month of April and May every head of cattle in the county will be required to be dipped. Already the cattle raising industry has taken on more interest by our farmers and planters and It is safe to predict the coming year will find these people shipping annually a hundred or more cars of fine beef cattle. Monday morning quite a number of people closely scrutinized a glass jar at the office of the Sandersville Geor gian that contained a weevil closely re sembling the Mexican boll weevil, but, •strange to say, none could tell positively if it was this dreaded pest of the farm ers, though every one was almost sure it was the real thing. Some suggested the bug be sent to the state entomolo gist, but it was decided to await the return of the county farm demonstrator Tuesday and abide by his decision. The bug was caught by a negro hand on a farm a few miles south of this city. About thirty carloads of cotton seed meal was shipped from the local oil mill last week to various points in the state. Meal is now selling for $35 a ton and each car was valued from SI,OOO to $1,200. The total sale aggregated ap proximately $30,000 and was a record for the local mill. warn TarmerTagaTnst “LYE POTASH” FAKIRS Department of Agriculture Sends Out Important Cir cular Exposing Swindle ATHENS, Jan. 31. —Information has come to the College of Agriculture that parties are selling in certain sections of the state so-called “potash balls” or other caustic lye preparations to be used In mixed fertilizers in place of the pot ash salts which cannot now be obtained from German mines. The “potash balls” and other forms of caustic lye prepara tions contain no potash whatver, accord ing to a circular just issued by the de partment of agricultural chemistry of the College of Agriculture, but are sim ply sodium hydroxide, or soda lye. These lyes are put on the market for soap mak ing, the soda being quite as good as the potash and, of course, far cheaper. The circular states that soda cannot take the place of potash as a plant food, and that while the farmer may be fooled the plant will not be. All that the soda lye will do in the soil will be burn up the humus, the one thing in which southern soils are most deficient, "The offer of these substances cannot be too strongly condemned and the farmers of Georgia are warned against their use,” concludes the circular. Man Kills Baby By Forcing Acid Down Its Throat (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—Four-weeks old Julius Clemens died today from the effects of a quantity of acid forced down his throat by an unidentified man while the child was sitting in a go-cart out side of a candy shop in the Bronx yes terday. Mrs. Charles Clemens, the baby's mother, had stepped into the shop, leav ing her four-year-old daughter, Ixonia, to watch Julius. When the mother rushed to the street in response to the girl's screams she found that the baby's mouth, chin and neck had been burned by a strong acid, and the child was crying. ”A man did it.” said Leonia. "He gave baby something.” The police have been unable to obtain a clue to the identity of the poisoner and are also at a loss as to his mo tive. s3o,oooHotel Bill Run Up by Peace Pilgrims on Ford STOCKHOLM, Jan. 29.. —A hotel bill of $30,000. that's what Henry Ford had to pay for putting up his peace party at the Grand hotel here.

Jan. 28. —At a meet ing of the directors of the Dodge County Fair association, held in the offices of the chamber of commerce, a deal was closed for a permanent location. Grounds consisting of twenty-seven seres in the southwestern part of the city were purchased from AV. H. Clem ents for SIOO per acre. The property is an ideal site for fair purposes be cause of its proximity to the center of the city and the topography of the land. The Dodge county tair will be held October 17 to 21. Work on the build ings will begin as soon as contracts can. be let and the material assembled. z \n excellent half-mile race track will be one of the features of the fair. Ample funds have been subscribed with which to finance the project and the fair will no doubt be one of the largest and most successful to be held in the state. The ease with which the subscriptions ha\e been obtained and the great enthusiasm manifested in the movement is but another evidence ot the general prosperity now being ex perienced in this section.

With the Potash in the soil a heavy application of acid and ammonia will round out a plant food for cotton, corn, truck, etc., that will make the 1916 crop a success. Here are some vital suggestions that, if followed, will guar' antee the next crop, despite the lack of Potash. With two bales of cotton per acre you get 40,000 pounds of stalk to plow under and help enrich the soil. \>7ith a third of a bale per acre you get only about 4,000 pounds—or one-tenth the amount of vegetable matter. This estimate is based on actual weight. How to get two bales per acre. Use barnyard manure in drill rows. Use a thousand pounds of good fertilizer to the acre. A heavy application of fertilizer pays better than a light application if the soil is well tilled. Intensive farming alway* pays, and is accumulative in its effect. Intensive farming requires good farming implements and plenty of plant food.
