M. Lutes, Bardis, Ga., relative to tho component elements of commercial fertilizers suitably adapted to the growth of yellow tobacco, thereby giving its readers tho benefit of the desired information. The component elements of fer tilizers for tobacco should be special ly adapted to the requirements of tlio plant, the character of tlm soil and the class or typo nf tobacco to he produced; that is, they should he such as to promote the growth and development of tho desired typo and to meet tlm deficiency nf the soil in supplementing that which best eon- tributes to tlm production oi tlm greatest quantity of tlm finest quali ty, It becomes more apparent every year that wiecessful and profitable tobacco growing of any type or class is based more on the intensive rather than extensive system. The elements most needed in to bacco fertilizers arc soluble phosphor ic acid, nitrogen and potash, nnd if tlm planters knew the composition and needs of their soil they might tlmn compound their own fertilizers supplementing the requisite elc incuts to produce tlm best results. Hut not knowing wliat. their boIIh most need and liow to compound fertilizers to supply the needed ele ments and their relative combination to prctfllice tlic best results. There fore, only general rules can he given in selecting or making a fertilizer for the tobacco crop. 'I'lie following formula* are highly recommended for bright yellow types: ' Very poor land, for each acre, mix well together! acid phosphate (So. Car. rock,) 200 lbs.; nitrate of soda, J 7o Mis.; sulphate of potash, lbs.) total per acre, 500 lbs. For fresh cleared land, acid plmss- phate (So. Car. rock,) 100 His.; ui Irate of soda, 140 llm.; sulphate of potash, 100 His.; total, pur acre, 401 lbs, ’ A composition highly reeommeded for any quality of land—acid phos phate (So. Car. rock,) 600 lbs.; cot ton seed motif 400 lbs.; kuinil, 100 total, per acre, 1,000 lbs’, If a less quantity be needed fol low proportion as uliovu given. It is a conceded fact, that North Carolina nnd Virginia farmers, in tho bright tobacco belt, use far too little fertili zers per acre, not exceeding in many eases 150 pounds. Then, is it. atiy wonder (hat the planter withholding his hand and contributing so sparing ly the requisite element absolutely necessary to produce profitable re turns should sit down at harvest and unjustly complain of his so-called providential misfortunes? lie that sowoth sparingly may expuut to reap sparingly. It is not uncommon up north for planters on “soil superior to ours” to apply 00ft to 1,00(1 ponllda per acre, and harvest from 1,000 to 2,000 pounds per aero, while Virginia and North Carolina farmers harvest only from 1100 to '7000 pounds per nr The conclusion must naturally follow that the difference is in favor of tlio bountiful supply of fertilizer as tlm cost, aside from the fertilizer, is the same in one crop ns the other, The planters in South Cnrolhi i are using oven heavier applications than arc railed for by the above formulas with decided beneficial results, ami they arc getting ahead of the plant ers in the Old districts from Ilia fact they more generally grow improved varieties ii.nl now use improved methods of growing', curing, etc. So far as e.nnmeroiat fertilizers are concerned these analyzing highest ill phosphoric acid, nitrogen tuul pot ash are tho cheapest even at a higher price, for the cost,of trmisjioning and applying a cheap fertihaer lathe same as for the best. A soluble, quick aeliug nitrate, U decide llv better for blight yellow tobacco than the slow acting one, because this type muss bn pushed vigorously tv early maturity, ripening it yellow, and at a time when the weather Is most fav orable to the earing process. Sul phide of pota.dt is better than chlor ine for any ulww of tobacuc from tlm fact that el 4o' ine 'unpurts u gucimr color to the plants, causing them <q cure a darker color and also destroys the baling quality. The so-called “muriate of potash” U unsuited to any class of tobacco and planters should beware .of it; as it is clioapcr than the sulphate it is largely used by fertilizer manufacturers. Wood ashes either caustic or leached, arc unsujted to lljc yellow types hut (nay bo used successfully in tho culture of cigar tobacco. The constituent agricultural value of wood ashes arc carbonates and phos phates of potash,-tnagnesja and lime. Cotton liqll ashes Is also nit excellent fertilizer for cigar tobacco- Shooting ut Cyelonetn. News readied Tifton early yester day morning of a shooting tlmt took place at Cycloneta the night before. A young Sir. Irby, cousin to tho furm superintendent, was staying at Mr. Anderson’s store. Ho was in the store between 10 nnd 11 o’clock post ing hooks, the front door Ht slight ly ujar. The scoundrel who did tho shooting crept up to the front door and steadied his pistol against the facing. The ball struck young Irby hack of the head andglauced around the skull nearly to the right ear. Suspicion rests upon one of a quar tette of durkies who were there Hie curly part of the evening waiting for to heat a ride to the through freight Valdosta. After the shooting they could not ho found. Mrs. {.. It.
