V \ 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. hough the of;!-e work of tho ■runout lias dou -ied and trebled HH the lip'sent commissioner to ik tli-s office c:;:i nates are s -vcr.il dollars less o ich \v. n -\v than ■ Tho increased worn is done by number of clerks, three, and 1 salari-s have iie-'ii re uf s7S’l 111 clerK hire.

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 Ver.v best Syool Cotton at ‘2 cents a spool.

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.
