QUESTIONSANSWERED The Commissioner Gives Infor mation on Many Subjects. MUOH ABOUT OUR FERTILIZERS. The Vela# of Fertlliz-ra Outside of the Three Principal Elements ef Plant Food Discussed—Warts on Horses Only Eye sores—The Turning Under of I’earinee or Letting Them Kot on Top. Department of Agriculture, Atlanta, Sept. 1, 1894. Gan you give me a remedy for re moving warts on a horse? W. B. McD., Gandu. W arts are generally only to be con sidered as eyesores unless they appear on certain parts of the horse. They are very unsightly, and for this reason it is often desirable to remove them. This may be done by first cut ing off the rough outer surface so as to make them bleed and then rubbing in yellow orpiment, wetted with a little water. Do this with a stiff brush. It will at first create considerable inflam mation, but in a few days the wart will drop off, leaving a healthy spre, which will soon head. It sometimes happens that the whole wart does not come away with the first application, in which event a second application must be made. A common remedy often ef fective is to tie the wart with a horse hair, which will, in many instances, cut through and cause the wart to drop off. GRASS. What kind of grass will come nearest lasting all the year on gray land? A. Y. H.. Boling. You will not be able to find a grass that will last all the year. You can get one that will answer for summer pas turage or for winter pasturage, but not for both. Bermuda would come nearer answering your purpose, though it is for summer pasture and dies down in the winter. For winter pasturage mead ow, oat grass,'orchard, and wild rye grass are the best. to turn peavines. I have sown 10 acres of bottom land in peas as early as my rye was cut. What will give the best result to enrich the land—cut the vines and turn the roots, “turn vine and all,” or leave the vines and let them rot on top of the ground? S. M. D., Johnstown. By turning the entire vines under, or allowing them to remain on the ground, better results are obtained than by cut ting the vines for hay. If, however, you are in need of a forage crop, would advise you to cut the vines and turn the stubble under, as the value of the hay would more than compensate for the loss to the land. When the whole vine is turned under it is our practice to turn them just as they come to maturity. In experiments conducted at the state experiment farm, no difference in re sults were obtained where the fines were turned under and where they were allowed to remain on the su.face until ysu wished to use the laud. wheat. Please give me a good formula for a fertilizer for wheat? S. J. L., Fairmount. Wheat is a plant requiring a great deal of nitrogen and this should be the dominant of the fertilizer used unless the land has been sown in clover or peas. If this has been done the fertilizer need not be so high in ammonia, as this will have been supplied by these plants. In the first instance, where the clover and peas have not been used, the following formula will answer: Acid phosphate, 670. Nitrate of soda, 600. Kainit, 730. When the peas or clover have been used, reduced the nitrate of soda 400 pounds, and in its stead put 400 pounds of acid phosphate, and while outside of the scope of your question we take this Opportunity to call attehtion to the ne cessity of thorough preparation of the soil if a good yield is expected. As we have before stated in these reports it is too often the case that the grain orops that we sow are regarded entirely as side issues and little thought or care be stowed upon them. This should not be the case with any crop and especially one of so much value to the farmer. Relative to the use of fertilizers we should say as we have repeatedly men tioned that for grasses and grain crops there is nothing better than ground bone. This supplies phosphoric acid and ammonia, and will be complete as A fertilizer on much of our land, especial ly our red lands. On lands which evince the fact that they contain but little pot ash an application of kainit also will be found advantageous. FERTILIZERS. Outside of the three principal ele ments of plant food, does the ordinary fertilizer contain any ingredient or ma terial of value to land? C. W. F., Calhoun. Besides phosphoric acid, ammonia and potash, which constitute the three prin cipal elements of plant food, the ordinary commercial fertilizer contains other ma terial which is not recognized or com puted by the law, because it is not to be compared in effectiveness to the three materials flatbed, and because they can be supplied so cheaply. How far and to what extent they are a part of the ordin ary commercial fertilizer depends upon What material the fertilizer is made of. THE DISCOVERY BA.VED HIS LIFE. Mr. O, Oatflouette, druggist, Beavers, ville, 111., says: “To Dr King’s New Discovery I owe ray lift. Was taken with La Grippe and tried all the physi cians for miles about, but to no avail, and was given up and told I could not live. Having Dr. King’s New Discovery m my store, I sent for a bottle and began its useand from the first dose began to gat better, and after using three bottles was up and about again. It is worth its weight in gold. We wont keep store or house without it” Get a free trial ad R. O. Aryans’ drug store- These minor constituents in some in stances afe of ftaffleient worth to be con sidered py the farmer in the purchase of his fertilizer. Acid phosphate, which is the ordinary material with which phosphoric acid is supplied, in addition to the phosphoric acid, contains a large per cent of phos phate of lime which, to some land, is very beneficial. Kanit, the most common material with which potash is supplied, contains a large per cent of chloride of sodium or common salt. This is effect ive as a conservator of moisture, and is recognized for its value to land. Cotton seed meal, which is largely used as an ammoniate, contains a con siderable quantity of organic matter. In fact, outside of the three principal ele ments of plant food which it contains, is almost entirely so constituted. The farmer, in the purchase of his fertili zers, ought to consider out of what ma terial it is made, and whether or not his land demands any of these miner con stituents. Of course, in fertilization it is more important to consider the exaot demands of the crop under which the fertilizer is to be used. For example, in manuring for potatoes, it becomes important to consider in what form potash is supplied, as neither muriate of potash or kainit will give the same result as sulphate of potash. The intelli gent farmer will consider the necessity of the plant he wishes to grow, the plant food necessary to its perfection, and the cheapest form in Which it can be supplied. OATS. Last year I had a very fine field of oats in which the heads failed to fill out. I manured the patch with droppings from cows fed on cotton seed meal. Can you tell me the cause of this? D. R. U., Canton, Ga. In the ordinary grain crops such as wheat and oats phosphoric acid is the principal element of the grain. Potash gives strength to the straw, while nitro gen growth to the plant. Cotton seed meal is constituted principally of am monia, while in feediug cattle the food properties are taken up—more of the ammonia is utilized, it is therefore ap parent that your oats were abundantly supplied with nitrogen, while the con stituents that make up the grain were lacking. cabbage. Please tell me what would be a good fertilizer for cabbages? Ham. The dominant of the cabbage plant is nitrogen and, therefore, a highly nitro genous manure is required. Tim fol lowing formula on the ordinary lands in Georgia sufficiently supplied with humus would be a proper fertilizer to use: Blood, 800 pounds. t.cid phosphate, 800 pounds, ulphate of potash, 300 pounds. GENERAL REMARKS. The Cotton and Corn Yield Will Not Be as Great as Was at Once Expected. We regret to report that since our last issue throughout the state as a whole the condition of our staple crops has de teriorated rather than improved. This is due to eiOessive rain in some sections, and in others rather to ovetestinlates in the last report than to Unfavorable con ditions siiice. The efetim|tes at this time teiflg much ifiore accufqte on aS codht of the advanced condition of the crbjs?. COTTON. This crop shows a falling off since our last issue of nearly 2 per cent. At the beginning of the season the stand and prospect throughout North Georgia was the poorest reported to the department for a qumber of years under favorable seasons. Rapid recuperation aud de velopment has taken place, and now in this section tke crop is in better condi tion than in any portioii of the state. Southwest Georgia, on the contrary, gave promise of a good yield early in the search, whereas how, with the ex ception o l East Georgia, the poorest con dition and prospect is reported than in any other seotion of the state. The falling off through Southern and Middle Georgia is due to a development of weed under the influence of copious rains withont the plants properly fruiting. CORN. In the August report we were grati fied to be able to show a magnificent promise of a large yield of corn, and we regret that at this them are not quite so favorable, showing a falling off of about £ per Cent. Notwithstanding this, the pfospect may be regarded as fine, es pecially ih North Georgia,whichhasnot fallen off. Our farmers are to be congratulated on thjs, especially in view of the fact that at one timp during the season the crop was very unpromising. OTHER MATTERS. There are ijther matters to which the present report is related, but which, for lack of room, are omitted in this report. commissioner’s taLk.
