AGRICULTUmf*® /X-s Education 1-® Successful Far.minq- SEW AG bl DISPOSAL ON THE FARM The matter of disposing of waste on the farm satisfactorily is of the utmost importance. Such structures as are now in use often become the source for the spread of typhoid fever, hook worm and a number of other troubles. -Flies are the most common carriers of these dis eases. especial 1 y where the privy is not properly constructed. The water supply of the home is often polluted from this source as well, hence anything which can be done to mitigate the conditions now existing is well worthy of the ear nest consideration and attention of every one living in the open country. To this end a short summary of a satisfactory method for sewage disposal on the average farm has been prepared from data published in a pamphlet by Prof. L- C. Hart and Prof’. Guy R. Jones of the agricultural engineering de partment of the State College of Agricul ture. The accompanying cut showa in detail how to. construct a efficient septic tank at a moderate cost. A septic tank is a water tight receiver in which bacteria will reduce the solid parts of sewerage. Anaerobic bacteria work only in the absence of air. They may be termed -rotting bacteria" The septic tank designed in this circular is for a cheap, simple disposal system. The materials are easily obtained and almost any workman can install the system. The first thing Eo determine in in stalling the tank, is the number of people to be cared for. For two to four people, omit two.of the large tanks, call- I I I . . I \ //U I OTr~H~ '&J JfEP to * I I " 1-- er.,.,, I ' Ti '• i' Oil'Hi L 111.

For five to seven people omit only the third tank using two tanks and the overflow tank. For seven to ten people install just as de , signed. All the materials u/ed in in stalling this tank can be -had from any manufacturer of terracotta pipe. The best method of disposing of the , effluent, under ordinary conditions, is to discharge it through purifying tile laid ’in the surface soil. Near the surface we have the “living earth" in which there are myriads of bacteria that rapidly re convert offensive material into harmless inorganic matter. For this reason we can convert the human excrement into the ' best of garden soil by the use of a prop erly installed septic tank. The inhabit ants of “living earth" are called.aerobes or purifying bacteria that thrive in the I presence of oxygen. They are plentiful near the down they are fewer and fewer till the soil becomes dead or sterile. Thus d’e see by' using I anaerobes to reduce sewerage to a liquid ) form and aerobes to purify that liquid, an offensive material is rendered not only | harmless but of value. • The length of tile in the disposal beds will depend entirely on the character of soil. These beds are made of three inch and four-inch drain tile. Ir the I soil is a stiff clay, the ditch should be dug three or four feet deep and four to six inches of sand or gravel put in the bottom. Not over two feet of fall 1 should be allowed to the hundred feet of tile.

Cover the joints with pieces of tile, tin or flat rock to prevent dirt irom getting easily into the tile. Fill iup a loot more with sand or gravel I and finish with top soil. In stiff clay, allow fifty feet or tile per person and in a light sandy loam soil, allow ten feet I per person. For soils ranging between these, make due allowance for porosity. In loose soil it will not be necessary to use sand or gravel beds aS in stiff clay. In loose loamy or sandy soil, make the ditch for tile the same/depth as for stiff clay, but it is not necessary to qse the grave). The next step is the digging of the tank pit. The top of the tank should be one foot under ground, thus the pit should be at least six feet deep, but the depth ‘depends entirely upon the inlet pipe leading from the residence. Make the bottom of the tank of con crete four inches thick. As shown in the design., leave a channel in the liottom six inches (jeep, six inches wide and long enough to connect all the large tanks used. Across this channel put brick as indicated in tho design. These brick should be placed in cement with •heir upper surfaces level with top of ■ tho channel. Next put down bottom ' row of terracotta pipe and plaster over I one-half inch thick with cement made by mixing two parts of sand with on< part cement. This makes an absolutely water-tight job. Before putting the up- per set of pipes in place, a hole should be cut, as indicated jn the design, fcr a fix-inch pipe. Cement the joints between op and bottom pipes. Give cement time o thoroughly set and tamp dirt back ound tanks Make covers for tanks, of oncrete, by placing four half-inch rods across top of tank and cover with metal lathe, plastering with cement mortar. T'hen put the eighteen-inch terracotta pipe for dosing tank in place and con nect as shown. A-fter selecting the loca tion for disposal beds run four-inch drain tile as indicated. It will not be neces sary to run beds straight as indicated, but the disposal beds may be put on a hillside and follow the contour. Several septic tanks of this type have been installed on the college farm and at homes of members of the facul ty. All have’ given efficient and satis factory service since being put in. They have been built at various points throughout the state and wherever di rections have been carefully "followed there has been no complaint. Some have put the disposal beds in gardens with satisfactory results, others put them under cultivated fields and sod.

L * *\ * I TANKAGE as a source of plant , FOOD. t ! A. B. N., Jefferson, Ga., writes: I have , some tankage that is guaranteed to con- Wtaiu 5 per cent of nitrogen and 13 per cent s of total'phosphoric acid, and some cotton | seed meal that is guaranteed to contain 36 per cent proteia, 5.5 per eent of fat, 14 ’ I per cent of fiber, and 27 per cent of car -1 umiyd rates. Which is best and cheaper to mix with acid phosphate when I can buy them both at the same price? ' We presume that the total phos phoric acid contained in the tankage is ’ available and if that is so a ton of this material contains 100 pounds of avail able nitrogen and 260 pounds of avail ; able phosphoric acid. « 1 A ton of cotton seed feed meal of the grade mentioned would contain roughly, ’ 120 pounds nitrogen, 50 pounds of phos phoric acid and 35 pounds of potash. We 5 thiijk the value of the plant food con ‘ stituents in the two would be about the same. Os course you know the pot -5 ash cannot be obtained except through ' cotton seed meal. Hence, this material ' «has some advantages in the respect that % I it contains some of this important ele ment, and we would be disposed to use the cotton seed meal if it can be pur chased at the same price per ton as the other material. A mixture of equal parts of acid phosphate and the meal in question would give you a fairly good formula. It would contain approx- I imately 3 per cent of nitrogen. 9.2 per I cent of phosphoric acid and -9 per cent . of potash. The formula you propose making would contain approximately 52 1 pounds of nitrogen, 217 pounds of phos phoric acid and 1.8 pounds of potash per ton. This formula would contain, therefore, on a percentage basis, approx ! imately 2.6 per cent of nitrogen, 10.8 i per cent of phosphoric acid and Just a trace of potash. 4 • • • USING NITRATE <4f SODA AT PLANTING TIME. 0. B. G„ Rocky Ford. Ga., writes: Please let me know what you think of putting about twenty pound* of nitrate of soda to the acre in the planter with the seed as a means of diatrlbuting it? Would the ■oda damage the seed In any way? We would never mix nitrate of soda with the seed before planting them. It is best to put nitrate of soda under the drill row together with whatever other nitrogenous material you may be using for fertilizing purposes. You un i derstand, of course, that the young plant ! has a store of seed within it upon j which ft primarily draws until it estab lishes Itself in the soli, and as soon as ' germination has taken place and the j plant makes Its way to the light and the 4 young, tender. fibrous roots, by which it principally feeds, come In direct touch and relation with an abundant supply of quickly available and easily assimi lated food, the crop will grow off vigorously. ■ • • DEPTH AT WHICH TO APPLY FER TILIZER. G. M. R.. Forsyth, Ga.. writes: I have an acre that wus in cotton last year that T have bad broken nn with a two-horse disk plow from 8 to 10 inches deep. T have ’ 1,000 pounds of 10-12 guano to nut on it. I have been thinking of broadcasting same end tnrnfng nnder with the same disk nlow. Would this put flic guano too deep? Would J it be best to apply ROO pounds this way and' 200 pounds with the seed? What va riety of seed would you suggest to get ahead of the weevil? Found some in som" late cotton last year. Situated n.s you are we would'broad cast a part of the fertilizer over the land and work it in with a disc. This should not be done until a few days be fore you are readv to plant the crop. 1 The rest of the fertilizer mav be put ; under the drill row. Our thought would i be to broadcast about two-thirds of the j fertilizer and use about one-third under I the drill just at the time of planting the i seed. It is desirable that a part of the fertilizer be where the roots of the i plants can quickly get in touch with it and start the assimilation of the plant' food early in the growing season. It is • desirable that the roots of the plants be encouraged to spread through the soil as widely as possible, as they will thus gather a greater amount of plant food and moisture than if they grow in a re stricted area. > Broadcasting fertilizer is a question which should be largely determined by the condition of the land. When it has been thoroughly prepared and is loose and mellow to a good depth broadcast- ’ ing is all right. On poorly prepared land we would be inclined to concen trate more of thee fertilizer under the drill row. believing that plants will take more, of it up under such circum stances. It is desirable that you plant cotton to get ahead of the weevil ju?t as soon as seasonal conditions will permit. Not a day is to be lost. Thoroughly delint ing the seed will help to get it out of the' ground a few days earlier than when you’ plant the undelinted seed. We would also select a variety which will seed early in the season and con tinue to grow until the late fall. Some of the varieties •we suggest for your consideration are as follows: Cleve land’s Big 8011, College No. 1. Sunbeam. Poulnot, Hooper's, Hite’s, Willet’s Ideal, Covington-Toole, Cook's, Webber’s 4t>, Culpepper, Trice and Dixie. SOWING OATS IN THE SPRING. B. M. C., Eastman. Ga., writes: What kind of spring oats would you advise to sow non? All the oats have been killed down here. It is probably all right to plant some of the rust-proof varieties of oats as late as March 1. After that date it would likely be better to plant some of, the taring oats such as the so-called Burt or ninety-day oat. It is rather important to get either the rust-prool or the soring oats in early. Our ex-1 perience with spring seeding has not been satisfactory. Once in a while when > we have a late, cool spring with a well j distributed rainfall spring sown oats do fairly well. We have not, however, secured the yields from spring sown oats obtained from 'those planted in the not advocate,, planting spring oats' on anything like the same scale followed with fall oats. In an emergency, such ; as appears to have arisen now, it would ( be good practice no doubt" to put in a moderate area. We are inclined to think that all of the oats have not been Icilled. ,If to one-half should come through the freeze all right and the ground is in good condition, we' are inclined to think they will stool freely and make a fairly respectable crop. In other words, we feel that by leaving the oats, where anything like the stand indicated has come through all right, you will probably secure as large a re turn of grain and straw per acre as from spring seeding. Our plan is to wait a few days until we are more certain as to just what has happened to our oats and then if we have as much as one-half a stand left apply nitrate of soda. I BUILDING UP A BERMUDA GRASS SOD. E. B. L.. Montezuma, Ga., writes; I I have come into possession of a Bermuda I grass stock farm. The grass is thin and I not closely matted together. It has been | grazed for a long time and I doubt if very niuH) fertilizer lias been nsed or it has boon i Ployed at all. The land is a hard red sand with a clny subsoil. What shall I do to make this grass vigorous? Possibly the Bermuda grass about, which you write has never had a chance to establish itself. Sometimes people) allow their lands to be grazed while they are too wet or they overstock them. In that everfc, the grass is likely to be eaten down, as we say technically, into the ground. It takes a long time, on some hard galled red lands to establish a good Bermuda sod. We know of nothing better to increase its growth than to cover these thin spots with some yard manure or compost. In the event this is done we would disc , the soil when it is in a good condition | to work, thereby incorporating the fer-. I tilizer in the land. ft does not seem I to us that liming Bermuda sod is par-, i ticularly beneficial. Os course, we be lieve that this grass, just as any other ! crop, would be benefited by soil enrich ment by the use of commercial plant food. On the other hand, we think you I can most quickly restore it in the man ner indicated and by keeping stock off ! of it until it gets a chance to establish itself. Harrowing and working the sur face of the ground a few times during the summer, so as to keep it in good physical condition, should also help the: grass to spread. We have established excellent stands of Bermuda on thin, poor, galled spots by following the meth ods indicated. WILL POTASH PAY AT PRESENT PRICES? 1 P. FI. Fl.. Loganville, Ga.. writes: I would like to know whether not potash in our commercial fertilizers would [«ay to use urtiier cotton on 4?ra yor red lands at the price of $5 per unit. ’ Under north Georgia conditions and on the character of land mentioned in your letter we doubt the advisability of paying $5 per unit for potash. In all of our experience In dealing with soils of this type ft seems to be quite clear that the first essential need is a liberal supply of nitrogen, next comes the need of phosphoric acid, and last the need of notash. The need of potash is less evidenced In north Georgia soils than in those of the coastal plains region. Moreover, the crop you mention does not make as heavy a draught on potash as some of the truck crops. For this reason we are inclined to think that if situated as yon are we would use a formula containing 3 to 4 per cent of nitrogen, 10 per cent of phosphoric acid vnder cotton and corn. FOOD RATIONS FOR ASPARAGUS. . S. FT., Cairo, Ga.. writes: We hare an acre nt asparagus that we have so far been unable to work ont and fertilize, and I find a few plants starting to come up. What do yotl think about fertilizing with cotton seed meal and tankage now? Would nitrate of soda inlnre the quality of the asparagus? This patch was neglected last year and grow np In largo weeds, but there is a fair ly good stand left. Situated as you are we would fertll- ( Ize the asparagus bed in question as quicklv and completely as possible. The fertilizer can he scattered over the sur face of tho ground and worked into the surface very lightly and a considerable part of the plant food content should soon become available to a gross feed ing 'crop such as asparagus. There Is no objection to using nitrate of soda on your asparagus bed. Two hundred lbs. per acre would not be too much to apply. This could be mixed with an equal amount of cotton seed meal and 60b lbs. of acid. There Is no objection to using the tankage In question except that the formula suggestetl above will become available to the crop mote quickly than the tankage material, especially that part of it carrying the phosphoric acid. If the above formula Is used say at the rate of I,(U>O pounds per acre, scattered over the land and worked lightly Into the soil it should aid the growth of your asparagus very materially. In order to secure the white bleach ed stalks you should draw the earth to gether over the rows to a depth of about seven inches.

Where the 801 l Weevil will do its worst, there the peanut can be induced to do its best. The peanut can be produced cheaper than cotton. It responds well to fertilizers and good cultivation. Cotton seed yield about 42 gallons of oil per ton of seed. Peanuts yield about .70 gallons’of oil per ton of seed. Both oils bring about the same price. There is a growing demand for peanut oft. Shall your yield of peanuts be 30, 50 cy 100 bushels to the acre? z That depends on* how well you fertilize them and treat them. Give peanuts a chance. Plant a few acres of .the White Spanish variety and . put it in the rotation with cotton, corn and oats. Well fertilized and cultivated as much as 75 bushels to the acre may be obtained.
