USING GROUND PHOSPHATE ROCK IN THE SOUTH The demand for sulphuric acid in Ihe manuiacture of munitions has caused a decided line in the price of this male rial. Tins has tended to make the acid phosphate of commerce which has been -o extensively used for fertilising pur iK»ses in the south much higher in price ;han 11 has been tor a number of years pi'.st. On this account a decided e*fort has been made in tile last year or two to place on the market considerable quantities of ground phosphate rock which has not been treated with sul phuric aeici. Farmers using this mate rial seem to <<e under the impression ’hat it contairs from 20 to 32 per cent of available phosphoric acid; also that it will give them immediate results. As a matter of fact, but little of the phos phoric acid in floats wilt become avail .ible during the tirst year after its ap plication. and even then, the amount available will be determined by the sup ply- of organic matter in the land. As our soils are low In this material it lias not seemed wise or proper to ad vice the use of the ground rock under i existing conditions, and certainly it should not lie used by the farmer unless he fully understands its composition, its merits an<* the relative availability of the plant food it contains. To this end a short summary of a l>ainphlet on the use of ground phos phate rock by Trof. W. A. Worsham. Jr, professor of agricultural chemistry in the Georgia State College of Agri culture. has been prepared for the in formation and advice of our readers. These suggestions should be carefully kept in mind as tl|ey are of vital impor tance to our readers. Practically all the phosphate rock I *ol< in this state Tomes from the states ■ of South Carolina. Tennessee and Flori da. The material from these different sources vary somewhat in physical ap pearance and in the percentage of phos phoric acid, but the chemical coir bina tion of the phosphoric acid is the same in all cases, it being combined with lime, iron and alumina. Tn some cases it occurs mixed with clay and other worthless material. This contamination causes the variation in phosphoric acid ontent. the inorc impurities the lower the percentage of phosphoric acid. These impurities may be washed out in many cases, and a very high grade phosphate rock obtained. The rock that contains t cent of iron and alumina is less valuable than that with a low per cent of these constituents. The phos phoric acid combined with iron and alumina is far less soluble and will take la much longer time to become available, if It ever becomes available, than that combined with lime. * The phosphate rock from South Ca.ro . lina is found in river beds and deposits jon land. It is washed free from impu rities. has a low per cent of iron aifS alumina and is quite uniform in com position. containing from 26 to 28 per cent of phosphoric acid. The phosphate rock from Tennessee is obtained fairly free of impurities with only a small per cent of iron and alumina and con tains from 30 to 32 per cent of phos phoric acid. The percentoge of phosphoric acid is j more variable in Florida material, since it occurs in different physical forms, i It appears as pebbles in river beds # as I bowlders large and small, and as soft ■ rock which resembles clay, and is large iiy contaminated with it. It varies in percentage composition from 18 to 30 per cent of phosphoric acid. Having more clay mixed with it. makes it natu rally poorer in phosphoric acid. The |>erccntage of iron and alumina is also somewhat higher in this grade of rocK. Some of the ground phosphate roca may contain a small quantity of lime stone or carbonate of lime, but it is so small that it is of no practical value for the purpose for which limestone is i used, and should not be considered in I fixing the price of phosphate rock. The I claim is sometimes made that the phos- ■ phate rock contains lime and phosphoric j acid in combination, and that its appli cations serve the double purpose of sup plying both lime and phosphoric aetd, which most soils need. The lime com bined with phosphoric acid in rick phos phate is no more available than the phosphoric acid and it does not answer the purposes of improving the. physical condition of the soil and correcting acidity, as limestone, burnt lime or slaked lime does. Therefore, in determining the rela tive valuer of the different phosphate I rocks offered for sale under the name* •floats.” "phoslime' - and other trade I names and arriving at the price to be paid for same, bear in mind the follow : ing facts: 1. That in all cases unavail able phosphoric acid is being purchased. ' 2. That the phoephoric acid in the raw rock, regardless of its source, is tn the same chemical combination being com bined with lime. Iron and alumina, and ’ the less iron and alumina the better, j 3. That the fineness to which it is j ground determines the rate at which it becomes available when mixed with th< soil. If the fineness is the same and the percent of iron and alumina is low then the per cent of total phosphoric acid alone should determine the price. In some cases ground phosphate rock is being offered for sale at prices con siderably too high, claims being made that it possesses some peculiar property : of chemical combination which makes the phosphoric acid more valuable. Oft en this material is of low grade and can not be sold for the manufacture of acid phosphate. Therefore, it is put on th< market in the raw state writh claims that ••an not be substantiated, and in order to give weight to these claims the high price is asked. Most of the ground rock put on the market contains from 28 to ”2 per cent of total phosphoric acid and is ground so that 90 per cent will pass through a 100 mesh screen. At the present time phosphate rod finely ground with a guarantee of 29 3-t per cent of phosphoric acid, is quotes laid down in Athens from sources it Tennessee at $6.69 per ton in bulk in paper-lined cars. From another source a finely ground rock containing 32 per cent total phos phoric acid is offered at $4.25 f. o. h at plant in bulk in paper-lined ears There are no conditions due to the pres ent war which should affect the prh* of the raw phosphate rock, and the*< prices should be fairly stable. Ascertain in each ease the analysis o' the products being purchased, on ac count of the wide variation in the coni , position of the different rock. It would be well to have a guaranteed analyst* of each car. This might increase the ,-ost a few cents per ton but it Is better to know just w'hat is purchased. The followerg analysis will show the; THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, MARCH 13, 1917. variation in composition of different phosphate rocks; Hampie 1. Per Cent.

Ga, writes: I would rike some Information about Wil liams' early big boll cotton seed. Do you tbiuk it is a better variety than tbe Cleve land big l>oU? Williams stood nineteenth, in so far as yield is concerned, of thirty-nine va rieties of cotton grown in the demon stration field of the Georgia State Col lege of Agriculture in 1916. Some of the varieties which made larger yields are: College No. 1. Cook's. Texas Bur, Sun beam 6', Hooper’s, Sunbeam 80, Trice, Dixie. Piedmont. Caldwell’s. Christopher, Vandivers. Culpepper’s, Meadow's, Wil let’s Ideal. Lone Star, Cleveland. Williams did not prove to be as early a strain as some of the other sorts. It made a yield from the first picking of 444 pounds, of seed cotton, whereas Col lege No. 1 made a yield of 1.190 pounds. Cook’s. 494; Texas Bur, 495; Sunbeam 64, 516; Hooper's, 602; Trice, 903; Meadow’s, 602. It took fifty-eight bolls to make a pound of seed cotton, the lint being approximately one inch in length. The yield of lint was at the rate of 33.3 ;»er cent. WHEM AMD HOW TO SUBSOIL LAND J. A. H.. Greenville. Ga.. writes. I have- bought some subsoil plows. I expect to use them to break my land when It gets dry. What do you think of thia plan? I did not aet any of my land broken last fall. Will it reduce tbe yield of cotton any to ,»lant velvet beans in it? Will It make a good feed for stock to pull the corn off, and then cut tbe corn stalks, vines and bean* and have them ground up in meal without the car corn? Should they be cut before or after frost? Which would be best—blood and bone and tankage o fish scrap? Ordinarily we would not advise sub soiling in the spring of the year for the reason that at this season there is likely to be more water in the soil than in the autumn. While the top layer of soil may dry out and crust over the subsoil may FERTILIZER FACTS No. 38 ’ The Corn Belt I s Reaching Down Ik" South to Dixie The Country’s biggest Com Yields are being made in Dixie with the aid of » Fertilizers. Nearly 50,000 Com Club Boys in the South are producing more than 50 bushels of corn per acre with an average application of 500 pounds of fertilizer. The Country’s Poorest Com Yields are also made in Dixie without the use of fertilizer. \ Uncle Sam’s records show an ad vance in average yields in the South each year —each advance tallying closely with increased use of fertilizer. It is a plain argument for Plant Food. Biggest yields of com can’t be made unless the hungry Plants are sufficiently fed. Dixie will establish a clear title to be included in the Corn Belt when it supplies its soil what it needs with proper fertilization and practices the best cultural methods.

A. still be wet. Breaking it up, therefore, unless it is in a good and fairly friable condition, may tend to slick the lower soil areas over, as it were, and make it i dilllcult when a. drought period comes | for the moisture to move upward by ca pillarity and the roots of the plants to spread freely through the soil. If sub soiling were done when the land is wet it would naturally prove more injurious than beneficial. We have made it a prac tice as a rule, therefore, to subsoil in the fall of the year, when there is less moisture in the soil as a rule. Os course, we have had a wet February and the land in most cases now contains a sup erabundance of moisture. Therefore, we would hesitate to subsoil under exisitlng circumstances. • Subsoiling is a good thing when done under normal condition and at the right season of the year. I desire to empha size this fact for fear you may conclude that I do not think subsoiling is a desir able practice. T am very much in favor • of ft, but of course it must be done with I discretion. i We would not hesitate to plant velvet beans in corn. Sow them when the corn is about 12 inches high, hiant alongside the drill row. Use about ». peck of beans per acre. When planted in this way they will have a chance to run the stalks of the corn. The corn stalks, beans and all may be cut. the corn snapped off and the beans picked and the two ground to gther. The long fodder should be re ' served, run through a cutting box and ' used for the roughage ration in winter j feeding. It is always best to cut ; a legume before frost if possible and, of course, corn should be harvested when the lower leaves begin to dry up If one desires to secure the largest possible amount of animal nutriments per acre. We would not think there would be any difference in the value of the mate rials you mentioned for fertilizing pur poses if they can all be bought at the same cost per pound of available plant food. a a a USING POTASH UNDER PRESENT CONDITIONS. B. F. S., Duluth, Ga., writes: I am writ ing fur advice with reference to tbe uae of potash this season. We mix our own fertilizer which runs about a 12-4. Our land is sray soil. For several years we hare follo-ved the two-year rotation of cot ton, fall oats followed with peas and then cotton next year. Under lhe eircuuist’.uices do you think it advisable to use pitash? Situated as you are and in your sec tion of the state we hardly think we would advise you to use potash at pre vailing prices, which we understand vary from $6 to $7.50 a unit. While the use of potash is very essential on some Georgia soils, particularly on the sandy soils of the southern part of the state and even in some instances on our north Georgia soils, we believe it the least essential of the three elements in which our lands are generally pri marily deficient. We think a formula containing 4 per cent of nitrogen and 12 per cent of phosphoric acid a good one to u>-e on lands such as you describe. We believe if this material were ap plied at the Tate of 300 pounds and up wards per acre it should prove quite satisfactory. Os course, where one de sires to raise a large crop and has the land in fairly good condition the more liberal use of fertilizers is de sirable. In that event 500 pounds can often be used to advantage. a a a A GOOD RATION FOB A DIABY COW. W. A. W., Thomasville, Ga.. writes: The freeze killed the oat* and vetch pastures, and I would like to know how to make a good ration for a dairy cow from ground velvet bean*, peavine hay and cracked corn. Would you use any eotton seed meal nn<l bran in addition to the above? These W<• items are rather expensive to lyiy and I have the other feed*. Is corn fodder a good roughage for a cow? If situated as you are with regard to "the maintenance of your cow, we would proceed along the following lines: Grind the velvet beans and the corn together in equal parts and feed 10 to 12 pounds of this mixture per head per day. The amount suggested is based on a cow weighing 1,000 pounds. Some might re quire more, but the average cow would probably do with considerably less. The amount of food to feed depends on the flow of milk the cow is giving. The grain ration above suggested should satisfy the needs of a cow giving as much as two and one-half to three gal- lons of milk per day. Cows which pro duce less should not be fed so much. So much for the grain part of the ra tion. Next take the peavine hay and if you have any corn stover, sorghum hay or other coarse fodder mix these together in equal proportions and run through a cutting box. Then take a bucket of water in which a handful of salt has been added and sprinkle over the chopped up fodder, allow to stand over night and the next day take a portion of this feed and mix ‘with one-third or one half of your grain ration. This will serve as the morning meal. In the middle of the day you can feed a little of the peavine hay or fodder. This can be placed in a feed rack in the open. The long fodder should, of course, be protected from the rain. In the even ing feed as indicated above, using the remainder of the grain. Give the cow all of the chopped, moistened coarse fodder she will eat. We believe by thia arrangement you will not find it neces sary to buy cotton seed meal or bran and that you will secure a very satis factory ration. LEADING VARIETIES OF PRO LIFIC CORN. C. C., Oglethorpe, Ga., writes: Please advise me what would be tbe best prolific i-orn to plant in this county. Do you know of one tliat is weevil resistant? What do you think of Whatley’s Prolific for this section ? —f We have tested a great many varie ties of corn for a number of years past and we find that the prolific varie ties are better adapted for general growth in Georgia than other strains. Os course, some of the big-eared sorts can be planted to advantage on bottom lands. For your section of the state, however, we are inclined to think that Whatley’s, Marlborough’s or Hastings Prolific are as good sorts as you could select. We think you should have no difficulty in securing standard strains of seed of these varieties. We do not think there is any weevil resistant strain of corn. Cox’s Prolific, of course, is more flinty than some strains and it is a good prolific sort, but it probably requires a little richer soil to give the best results than some of the other strains. Whatley’s corn Is not especially hard, but it is an excel lent strain and has been widely tested throughout the state and has made good yields wherever grown. Under a ra tional system of planting, fertilizing and management, any of the above strains should make a good yield. USING VELVET BEANS FOR SI LAGE. M. 1.. W., Salem. Ohio, writes: Can you give us any information on tbe velvet bean as a silage crop? Do you know of any reason why it should not he used for this purpose? Should it be combined with any other crop for best results? There is no reason why velvet beans should not be grown with corn for si lage purposes. We* have grown this combination crop for a number of years past. It is desirable of course as you go north, that extra early maturing va rieties of beans be used and it is rath er difficult to get these yet. Many claims have been advanced with refer ence to early maturing sorts but our experience indicates that most of them take from 30 to 60 days longer to real ly mature than some of the breeders have said they would take. Os course where you plant silage crops close to gether and shade the land effectively and use such combination crops as sorghum and kafir corn, the velvet beans often do not make a vigorous growth. Probably they will do better with corn than any other cron with v hich they can be combined. Our ex perience in this section of the country is that corn for silage purposes should te planted in wider row distances for instance than sorghum or kafir corn.

DSTATE. | i ... « for silage purposes we think it desir able that the beans be put in the ground at the same time the corn is put in, or very shortly thereafter. Planting alongside the drill row at the rate of 1 peck per acre is the best method to follow. The beans grow vigorously under favorable conditions as to mois ture and warmth ami climb readily up the corn stalk. There is one objection to their use in that they make the corn tangle. We have never found this such a serious objection, however, as to make their use detremental. At the same time, we have never been able to secure a yield of velvet beans amount ing to more than 5 to 10 per cent of the gross weight in the silage crop. TOPDBESSING WITH ACID AND COTTON MEAI. W. L. T., Byron, Ga., writes. Is it too late to top dress oats with acid and cotton seed meal? I find that my oats were not killed by the freeze. We do not think it desirable to top dress oats in the spring of the year with a mixture such as you suggest, certainly not unless you harrow it into the soil. We prefer to put on such acid phosphate and organic nitrogen as we expect to apply in the fall of the year. In the spring of the year the best thing to use, in our judgment, is a quickly available carrier of nitrogen, such as ni trate of soda or sulphate of ammonia would constitute. One hundred pounds of this material applied immediately should prove of some considerable merit. If you have 50. to 75 per cent of a stand of oats we thing you can afford to use the equivalent of the nitrogen contained in 100 pounds of nitrate soda. Our experience indicates that it is de sirable to put this material on early in the season. We think most farmers are inclined to wait too late to make the application. It should be put on when the oats are dry and should be scattered over the surface of the ground, but not harrowed in. The nitrogen in nitrate of soda Is already in a very quickly available form. 298,826 IMMIGRANTS ARRIVE IN SIX MONTHS WASHINGTON.
