FARMERS’ COLUMNS. GEORGIA EXPERIMENT STATION, EY I’KUI.MENT. GA. Green Manarlng With Cow Pen*. Press bulletin No. C, published in March, concluded with the intimation: “Green manuring with cow peas will be in good time next month.” This subject was deferred until now be cause its discussion would be most timely just before the season arrived for planting cow peas. The following is taken from bulletin No. 24: EXPERIMENT NO. 6. —GREEN MANURING WITH FIELD PEAS. The object of the experiment was to find out what disposition of a crop of cow pea vines would give the best economic results, In 1892 a two-acre section of land, from which a yield of 50 to 60 bushels of oats had just been harvested, was sown broadcast in speckled peas and fertil ized with 200 pounds of acid phosphate per acre. # When the vines had reached the proper stage for hay, or for turning under, the section was divided into six teen equal plots. On every Ist, sth, 9th and 13th plot the oeas were per mitted to ripen on the vines and were gathered and weighed. On the 2d, 6th. JOth and 14th plots, the vines were mown and left on the surface. On the 3d, 7th, 11th and loth plots the vines were turned under green: and on the 4th, Bth, 12th and 16th plots the vines were made into hay—the same day the vines on the preceding series were turned under—and the hay carefully cured and weighed. Table No. VI. gives a plain ssatement of ths renults, showing that it is de cidedly the most profitable disposition of the crop is to gather the ripe peas.

CONCLUSIONS. 1. That the best disposition of a crop of field peas is to convert the vines into hay. 2. The next best is to permit tlie peas to ripen and gather theta, or pasture them. 8. Mowing the vines and permitting them to lie on the surface and plowing under in November was decidedly better than turning the vines under in August. 4. Turning the vines under gave the poorest economic results. Note. —It would seem that turning under a crop of green pea vines in mid summer or early fall is not the proper thing to do. The vines probably added as much to the soil when tusned under green as when cut and left on the sur face, or as when the ripened peas were picked and the stubble turned under after frost. In both cases where the vines were cut and left on the surface and where the peas were gathered the soil was turned over early in No vember. But the turning under of the green vines before the hot weather was over seemed to result in some de leterious action on the soil. Possibly the above account of the ex periment is not perfectly clear and ex plicit in some of the details. Bear in mind the fact that it extended over the period of two years. In 1892 a large vield of oats was harvested from the land and the latter was then sown to cow peas and fertilizer with 200 pounds of acid phosphate per acre. The fer tilizer formula set forth in the table was applied and the land planted in cotton in 1893. The table combines and compares the results of the pea crop of 189*, and the cotton crop of 1893, but does not include the oat crop which was harvested just before the peas were planted. So far as one experiment can prove anything the conclusion drawn above can not be disputed, being unmistakably clear and pointed. Some of the results were rather unexpected. For instance the series of plot* on which the pea vines were mown and left on the sur face until November and then plowed under, produced twenty-four pounds less of cotton per acre the next year than the plots from which the peas were gathered when ripe and the vines and debris turned under in November. The amount, however, was small when the difference in the yield of cotton only is considered, but when the value of the peas is taken into account the difference in the yield is considerable. The value of the 24 pounds of seed cot ton was only 58 cents, but the 7.55 bushels of peas were worth $5.66, mak ing a total difference in favor of allow ing the peas to ripen and harvesting them, as compared with mowing the vines and permitting them to lie on the surface until November, of $6.24. The same results practically, would have have been realized had the peas been gathered by cattle or hogs, thus saving the expense of picking. Now compare each of the above se ries, Nos. 1 . and 2, with series 3, in which the Tines were turned unde* FAIR NOTICE. There is no possible chance for advertisements to get in this paper unless they are brought in by Tuesday, and that is all there is about it. This does not apply to local reading notices.—Eds. green, and the difference is strikingly against the plan of turning under tha green vines, amounting t 057.65 in favor of picking the ripe peas, and 81.41 in favor of mowing the vines and leaving them on the surface. Hut the most striking comparison— and it is the salient point of the whole experiment—is that of each of the first three series with series 4, in which the vines were mown and made into hay at the same time that those on series 2 were mown and left on the surface. The yield of cotton from series 4 (vines made into hay) was somewhat less than from either of the other series: but we have instead of the three to four dollars’ worth of cotton 1,913 pounds of well-cured hay, worth 514.35. The total yields of the series 4 for the year (not counting the oat crop) was go. 28 greater than that of series 1, §11.52 greater than that of series 2, and 512.93 greater than that of series 3. But there is still an other point of advantage in converting the vines into hay: If the manure— solids and liquids—resulting from feed ing one ton of hay to fattening or work animals, be returned to the soil it will be as effective on the succeeding crop as an application of $7 of commercial fertilizer. In other words the elements of plant food that result from one ton of cow pea hay fed to such animals, in the form of manure, would cost, if bought in market, not less than §7. This is shown by the analysis of cow pea hay, which is as follows: fine ton of cow pea hay contains: — Nitrogen 39 lbs at 10c £6 24 Phosphoric acid 10 lbs at 5c 50 Potash 29 lbs at 5c 1 45 Total manure value $8 T 9 Farmers generally are well aware of the fertilizing value of a crop of pea vines. It has been a well known fact for more then a generation. Because of the similarity of uses the cow pea has been aptly called the clover of the south. No argument is needed to con vince the southern farmer of a fact al ready so well known. But the value of the pea vine hay and *the proper aud most economic disposition of the pea crop is not so well understood. The idea of green manuring came into the south from the practice of northern farmers, who, in turn, received it from England. But an erroneous notion prevails that the crop should be turned under, and this idea is doubtless based on the assumption that in old clover growing countries the full growth of clover is turned under for manure. This, however, is not the general prac tice. On the contrary the intelligent northern farmer converts the first, and often the second, cutting of each of two years into hay, and finally turns under the aftermath, or the clover sod, as a preparation for a crop of grass, wheat or other grain. It is little less than folly to produce a crop of pea vine vines ready to mow and to be cured into a most nutritious hay and then turn it over and re-con verting it into soil. It is not denied that such a course will build up the soil more rapidly than if the vines be removed and not rest/ r and to that par ticular soil. So also would a crop of wheat or cotton, or any other crop, im prove and enrich the soil when turned under at an advanced or mature stage of growth. Wheat bran makes an ex cellent manure, buf no one would think of using it directly for such a purpose so long as he can find an animal to con sume it. The true policy is to use nothing for manure that can be fed to live stock. This rule would forbid the use cotton seed meal directly as a manure. So be it. It is unwise to use this valuable foodstuff as a fertilizer excepting the surplus over and above what may be judiciously fed to live stock. It is the purpose of this bulletin to urge Georgia farmers to give more at tention to the cow pea as a source of food and soil fertility. It draws largely on the atmosphere for its supply of ni trogen and on the deep subsoil for much of the phosphoric acid, potash, lime, etc., required for its development. The stubble, including the roots and fallen leaves, is rich in plant food and is necessarily left in the soil. The hay crop removed and fed to stock yields beef, milk and butter, enery and strength to labor, and finally, in the form of manure, from 80 to 90 per cent of the plant food that the hay con tained may be returned to the soil. It -would be easy to compile the re sults of experiments with cow peas at other experiment stations, north as well as south. They all agree: 1. That cow pea hay is a most valua ble food. 2. That the cow pea is a very effect ive soil improver. 3. That the most judicious plan is to convert the vines into hay and turn under the stubble only. IIOW TO FERTILIZE THE COW PEA. Many farmers may be surprised at the suggestion to fertilize at all, or the idea that it will grow on the poorest land. But it pays as well, and many think better, to fertilize the cow pea than any other crop. It responds read ily to fertilizers. And, best of all, it does not require an expensive fertilizer. Asa rule no nitrogen is required, ex cept on the poorest worn-out soils. Acid phosphate and potash, principally the first named, are all that is required. Two hundred pounds of acid phosphate and 100 pounds of kanit (or 25 pounds of muriate) per acre will generally be sufficient to produce a good crop when sown after small grain. On piney woods, sandy soils, more potash might be added. Broadcasting after small grain is the usual way, sowing one to one and a quarter bushels per acre and plowing the seed in with turn shovels or first breaking the stubble with a large two horse turnplow, and then harrow in the seed with a cutaway harrow. But some incomplete experiment-; indicate that more vines as well as more peas— a much better development every way —will result from planting the peas in drills 2 1-2 to 3 feet wide, and culti vating once or twice. Every corn field should he sown in cow peas at the last plowing, for which purpose one-half bushel of seed per acre will do very well. Yarieties will not be discussed at this time, as the experiments on that line are not conclusive. But the Unknown, Red, Tory, Black. Clay and Whippoor will —all well known varieties, may be planted with success. ROTATION. On every farm there should be adopted a systematic rotation of crops. Of course, conditions may be such that it will sometimes be expedient to change the rotation somewhat, but the genera] features should he constantly kept in view. On the Station farm the rotation adopted four years ago and since fol lowed with little variation is as follows, beginning with small grain: First y*ear, small grain,, principally oats, well fer tilized with nitrogenous fertilizers.sueb as stable manure, cotton seed (or cotton meal), nitrate of soda, dried blood, etc., and followed immediately with, com CONTRACTORS NOTICE.

Second year, cotton, liber ally fertilized and planted with the most prolific and select variety of seed. Third year, corn, moderately* fertilized with co mercial manures, or liberally with home composts of stable manure, cotton seed meal and phosphate, and sown with cow peas at laying-by. This makes what is called a three year rotation, but it may not include the land devoted to potatoes, truck patches, forage, peanuts, etc. R. J. Redding. Director De-Horning Cattle. In the early spring of last year the station herd of twelve cows were suc cessfully de-liorned. and the results were in every respect satisfactory*. There was no fever, or prolonged sore ness and no loss of milk: but a great gain in the improved temper and harm less condition of the animals, some ol whom were before vicious and danger ous. The details of the operation and the results on the station cattle were published in Bulletin 21, of which a copy will be sent to any farmer who will write for it. Since the work of de-homing the station herd was done J many farmers and dairy*men have de- j horned, and on several occasions Mr. ! 11. J. Wing, dairyman qf the station, I has performed the operation and in 1 different places in the state. In Janu- i ary* last a farmer living near Jones- I boro, had the horns removed from thir- j ty-six of his cattle, Mr. Wing doing the work. In reply* to a letter as to liow . h's cattle were doing, he writes as fol- I lows: Regarding the de-horned cattle I will say I do not care to have others de-horned while exposed without shel ter to bad weather, as mine were. All are doing well and I have lost none. Several took cold and the flies have given some trouble lately, but tar and turpentine was used. After this experiment under many and sadvant ages I am quite sure it pays to de-horn large herds of cattle. I do not think you would risk much if you were to in sure their lives. With proper attention not one in a thousand would be lost, It is a great advantage to the poor and sickly ones, and the fat and strong are much better by not being gored. If I were going to keep a strong herd of cattle not longer than three months I would de-horn them. F. C. Betts, Jonesboro, Ga., March 14. 1894. Mr. Betts is not a dairyman, but a cattle feeder, buying up herds of cattle and fattening for beef. ANSWERS ro INQUIRIES.

Ga.. writes: Wheu our native potatoes crack and grow in ugly* shapes, what is lacking in the sril iu your opinion? Answer by 11. N. Starnes, horticul turist: Abortive and cracked growth in po tatoes probably due to the suspension of growth during dry weather, fol lowed by a sudden resumption of growth under the impulse of restored moisture. Generally, the richer the soil espe cially* in nitrogen, or the more heavy the application of nitrogenous fertil izer. especially when concentrated or not thoroughly incorporated in the soil the worse will be the cracking when the ferti.izer becomes suddenly availa ble by* i-estored moisture following a drouth. W. E. C.. Cordele. Ga.: I have planted a field of corn, manured with green cotton seed. Now I am thinking of adding 75 or 100 pounds of acid phos phate when l plow it. Would it be a good idea and how much? I have planted the remainder of my crop and manured heavily with cotton seed, sta ble manure and compost. If it is best 1 want to muiture it e\ ery' time I plow it. Answered by Director Redding: If you will read bulletins 10, 11. 16, 20 and 23, you will find that the results of experiments in “intercultural” fer tilizing of corn were not favorable, es pecially when cotton seed meal or acid phosphate was used. Nitrate of soda may often be profitably applied as late as May 15. but not later, except to make a good after crop of grass. It is better as a rule, to apply all ertilizers for summer crops before or at the time of planting. B. B. G., Fayetteville. Ga., says: Please inform me if you have any re port or bulletin on the proper time of the moon to plant corn and other crops. It is generally claimed in this section that the moon governs the yield of all crops. Ido not believe it. Answered by Director Redding: tSo far as I know none of the experi ment stations have made any experi ments to determine whether the moon exerts such an influence on vegeta tion. Among educated and intelligent men, especially scientific men, the the ory finds no advocates, and is consid ered as one of those old superstitions that have been handed down from father to son for generations past. I have supposed that the belief might have originally been based on a misun derstanding of the last clause of Gene sis, Ist chapter and 14tli verse, where it says, in referring to the creation of the “lights in the firmament of the heaven,” “and let them he for signs and for seasons and for days and for years.” The station publishes a bulletin of res\ilts once a quarter and sometimes oftener.
