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 ed for in the plans, using only the first
I and the overflow tank. 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. On top of the sand or gravel

put the tile, titling the joints very close
together. 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.

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.

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

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.
