houses, etc., but always after t-lia goods
have left the bauds of the maaufactur
ers and are on sale. By (his method
the entire state is carefully covered, and
it is an extremely difficult matter to sell
spurious goods iu Oeorgia. But for this
careful arid thorough inspection the
state would be flooded with worthless
fertilizers and the farmers sulfur in con
sequence.
4. Another reform inaugurated by th
present commissioner was the reduction
of the annual pay of fertilizer inspec
tors from $1,500 to .SI,OOO each, and in
stead of keeping a large force on duty
all the time, only four are appointed foi
the full time, the others are employed
during the busy season, and when the
pressure is removed they are discharged.
Thus, though the salo of fertilizers and
the consequent work cf the inspectors
have botli increased tremendously, the
cost, is about the same, aud until t.t>
unprecedented sales of fertilizer.* the
past season, the cost of inspecting was
actually less than formally.
6. Under the present administration
of the department, the pay of the oil in-
Itopectors has been so reduced that
whereas formerly the state did Hot re-
Bive one cent from this source the pres-
Bt commissioner has been able to put
into the treasury after all ex-
have been paid.

Question. Will you please answoi
the following questions?
1. Have you ever tosfed subsoiling
land? What was the result?
2. Would you advise subsoiling land
with a line sandy sou about 10 inches
deep? runs together and gets hard ill a
dry time. Subsoil is solid red clay.
8. Would you advise subsoil ng dark
gray and red clay lands (solid red clay
subsoils) 12 to 16 inches deep?
4 When is the best time to subsoil,
and how often ?
o. Are you sure that it pays to use
acid phosphate ami kaiuitou light sandy
lands for corn, cotton, oats and peas?
6. Do you advise the use of acid phos
phate and kainit with cottonseed on
such land for oats to be sowed in Octo
ber ? There is a fair crop of pea vinos
o:i the Lind
7. When acid phosphate and kainit.'
are applied broadcast at the time peas
are planted and all covered at, once, is
the fertilize immediately available?
8. Where peas follow oats would a
liberal application of phosphate an i
kainit-to the oac crop pay ns weil as to
divide application between outs and
peas?
9. Where cotton is plant?.! after peas
would a liberal application of pin somite
and kainit to peas furnish phospnoric
acid and potash enough for cotton?
Answer. —1. I have tested subsoiling ;
land in southwest Georgia for corn and
doubled the yield. I have a friend in
J< If arson count}' who, th.s past winter, 1
turned his land with a large 4 horse ,
plow and followed in the same furrow
with a subsoiler pu leu by live horses, |
breaking the stiff subsoil to a depth of
18 to 20 inches. He writes that he is
well pleased with the result, the cotton
planted on that land being ahead of
everything in that section.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. Now is a good time to subsoil (O’t.
1), and any time will do through the
fall and winter when flm ground is not
wot. When thoroughly done the effects
will be visible for three or four years,
and frequently longer, according tothe
character of the subsoil.
5. I am sure that it pays to fertility
all crops, if done judicious y, and nitre
go iis usually needed as well as phos
phoric acid and potash.
6. While the pea vines will furnish
some nitrogen for the oar crop, I would
advise the use of a o< innlero fertilize!
for thorn, particularly as you are desir
ous of building up your laud while you
are making crops.
7. Most of the fertiliser is immedi
ately available, and the rest becomes sc
gradually. The potash i:i the kainit is
all available (of course in the presence
of moisture) at once, and so of what is
termed the “available phosphoric ac;d”
in a ertidzer. Ttiere is usually soma
phosphoric acid termed unavailable,
which gradually becomes available by
the action of certain properties in the
soil.
8. If you wish to bring up your land
rapidly you sliould fertilize each croc
y. Uf course a portion o i tun piiotpno*
ric acid and kainit would remain in tin; i
Boil to be taken up by the enttf u crop,!
bur. as I have said before, if you wish to j
bring your land to a high state of fer
tility each crop that you plant should |
be well fertilized.—State Agricultural'
Department.
Plan For ' I’o'atoflK,
Question’. —P.ease publish in yom
monthly answers t questions a good,
cheap, practical plan lor keeping sweet
potatoes?
Answer —The following plan i-- cheap
and practical, and if followed you wnl
have no trouble to keep y.ur potatoes
through the winter: Dig your potatoes
the first bright sunny day after the
vines have been touched by frost. Han
dle them earefu.ly, rejecting all that
are cut or bruise i. Don’t throw them
in piles while digging, as is customary,
for by tliis plan many are bruised, but
Eimpiy place them by the side <>:' t.u
l'urr >w as they arc plowed up. Ii tiie
evening gather them up. pla-ing care
fully in baskets holding fromoue to two
bushels, and h.nil t> the p >mt where
you wish to bank them Make ahei of
dry pine straw 10 or I'J inches rhick,
and oil this plac? from 20 c ■> 25 bushels
of potatoes in us steep a pile iis possible.
Then cover the pile 5 or 6 inches deep
with pine straw, and do no more to
them until the weather gets colder.
Build a low shed over the banks snffic
iont to keep the rains entirely off. Be
fore cold weather cover the entire b in*
with 7or 8 inches of earth, aud your
potatoes will keep until -spring. Tho
imp irraut points are these: Bank no
bruised or cur. potatoes; keep tiie banks
perfectly dry; pu; on enough earth to
prevent the cold penetrating, but not
until thv? potatoes have gone through a
sweat aud dried off.—State Agricultural
Fall Flowing For I-itflu Ltndi
Question. —You have written u go ml
de>*l about fall plowing of our Ckjorgiu
lauds and I want to know if it t ill do
to plow our light lands in the fail and
let them lie all winter? Won’t they
wash worse than if let alone?
Answer. —Although fall plowing on
light lands may not be as beneficial ns
on those of heavier quality, we wouid
prefer plowing to leaving them alone,
much of the water from winter rains
will sink into the subsoil aud if p . >pr
arrangements by terracing and dittoing
have been made to carry off the surplus
water, little damage will result from
washing. A better plan, however, is to
cover these bare lambs with some win
ter crop, as crimson clover, (peeu iar y
suited to light lands) rye, vetch, etc.
These crops assimilate tiie clement* of
plant food already in the soil, prevent
the lands from washing and tiie neces
sary preparation lor them aerates the
soil and helps it to conserve moisture.
During tho winter our reams should
never be allowed to s'.and idie when the
land is in right condition to be deop'y
broken. Two reasons that farmers are
unsuccessful with crimson clover are
that the seed are pur ii too late aid the
preparation is imperfect. Some times
poor seeds are planted and some times
they are not covered deep enough. If
nut sufficiently covered they will either

F*rMlljßor For Wheat.
Question. —Please give me a good fer
tii z*r for wheat, to be sowed on laud
from which I have cut a heavy growth
of j>a vinos?
A nswer. Some farmers contend than
a pea crop will furnish enough nitrogen
for <i wheat crop, but my experience dif
fers from this, and I wouid advise you
to use a fertiliser containing b per cent
phosphoric acid, 3 per cent ammonia
aud 8 per cent potash. In the spring
when the wheat begins to grow * ff you
will get good results by giving it a top
dressing of 50 to 100 pounds nitrate of
soda. Be sure to prepare a good seed
bed for the wheat by thorough breaking
and harrowing of the soil before plann
ing. Much of our small grain crop is
planted in u careless, slipshod manner,
resulting in unsatisfactory crops. We
may as well expect ~fo gather figs from
thistles'* ws to hope for a bountiful crop
l of wheat from poorly prepared land.
Even if rlie soil is rich, the yield will
not be what it should be unless tho
ground is properly prepared before
planting the seed. —Stat-o Agricultural
Department.
Ca'iiiua ed
Question.—Can you tell me some
thing of the cultivation and habits of
the Canada pea? I have heard that
i they will grow through tiie winter and
be ready to cue for hay by the middle of
spring. Are they considered good food
for stock?
Answer —Wa hare ns yet had at the
Bouth very lew experiments with the
Canada pea. The hay is known to he
k very fine fecsd for cows and sheep, as
it is rich in proteine. It lias been svt£-
pested that the crop be sown in October
on land of average ferrilny. Plow and
work fine, then sow the peas at the rate
of two bushels fo the acre. They should
be coveted deep, at lea-t 1 or 5 inches.
If the peas are kiiied down by severe
cold they win noma up attain and be
ready for cutting abiut May. A sued
plan is to sow these peas anti oats on
the same land. First plow in the peas
to the depth of 4 or 5 inches, about a
bushel to the acre, then harrow iu the
oats, about the same quantity of seed.
The crops will mature together and the
hay be much finer than oats alone, the
proteine iu the peas making a well bal
anced ration and a good substitute for
oottonseed me.ti or bran.—State Agri
cultural Department.
