DErAUTHKNT OF AaAlCULTLTlR,
Do you beltsve that th* general use of
fertilizers has resulted in any perma
nent improvement of our lands?
H. O. M.
W* regret to reply ta your inquiry
that a careful study of th* yield per
acre of staple crops doe* not show any
general improvement resulting from the
use of commercial fertilizers. That we
have simply been temporizing is a
source of much regret, for the secret of
successful agriculture im addition to di
versification and the self sustaining
farm rest is increased yield year by
year. That this increased yield can ad
vantageously bo accomplished by the
use of chemical fertilizers only is seri
ously to be questioned unless supplied
in compost, which at the same time
supplies organic matter absolutely es
sential to permanent improvement of
land. In reply to an inquiry relative to
improving worn sandy laud, wc give in
this report a method adopted by a suc
cessful farmer. Clay soils yield much
more readily to reuovating methods and
rapid improvement takes place where
leguminous plants, the cowpea in par
ticular, is used. This, however, is some
what of a digression from your original
question, as to yield iu the state per
acre being increased by the us* of fer
tilizers it is through the principal lessou
we learn from the fact that notwith
standing large expenditures, no im
provement has taken place.
VALUATION OF FERTILIZERS.
In the Fertilizer Bulletin issued by
the department of agriculture, how do
you arrive at the commercial value of
the fertilizer ? H O L., Cuthbert.
The commercial value of a fertilizer,
as it appears iu The Bulletin, is obtain
ed iu the following way The depart
ment inquires into the wholesale value
of fertilizer material at the ports, from
this the vain* per pound of the three
elements of a fertilizer, i. *.. phos
phoric acid, ammonia and potash,
are calculated Then for the sake of
convenience the value for each unit,
that is, for each per cent. To this is
added $‘2.60 for sacking. To find the
wholesale value of any fertilizer, there
fore you multiply the value of each
unit by the per cent of that Ingredient,
add the results together, add to this
for sacking. For example, to obtain
the value of a plain aeid phosphate
running 10 per cent available, you
would multiply the 10 by 80, which
would give koo, and to this add $2.60 for
sacking.
SANDY LAND.
Pleas* give m« a method of improving
satidy laud. 9. L. B..
Dawson.
Bandy laud suffer* mor* from leach
ing than clay soil. It is. therefore,
mor* essential on this class of soils than
any others that it be supplied with an
abundance of humus. The humus also
has the power of absorbing gases and
retaining moisture, a quality in which
such soils are deficient. How then is
organic matter to be supplied, and
what i9 the cheapest method of supply
ing this requisite to its fertility and fu
ture fertilization? Humus can !>* sup.
plied from the stable, but compared
with the rest, rotation of crops into
which the grasses and small grains issue
is more expensive. The planting of
special crops, such as peas, which add
direct contributions to the plant- food of
the soil, is also an excellent method. In
the application of chemical manures
it is much better on such soils to apply
in the form of compost, thus avoiding
leaching and retaining moisture.
To practically apply these suggestions,
we give you the form adopted by a sue
oestful farmer whose farm is nearly en-
m- v m :x satiny cnnracter: “If you
Ciii spare the land let it rest one year,
then in September seed it down to rye,
im.nui'-* it with anything you can get
,r • —cottonseed muck, ash ele
iiien • •• phosphates Let the rye ma
Mi ' s •*! and then plow in, sowing
>i ulciisf before plowing. After
the; ,<d:o another crop of rye will
aonie lip spontaneously, and the same
prooe lure cau be continued ns long as
desirable. Let the peas mature s::cii
and gather enough to resow the follow
ing year if you desire to further manure
the land. You could also turn iu your
hogs and let them eat some of the pea
and rye without retarding the improve
ment. On the sarnly lauds of Michigai
spurry is used as a renovator. It re
seeds itself; but in our opinion, it }•
not the advantages of the oowpoa r-.s .
renovator in our section.”
FURMAN’S FOKNITLA.
Will you kindly give me Parish Fur
man’s formula for compost and his
manner of applying the same?
I. C. P., Bremen, Ga.

of applying the. *£.-ne than as given bj

breaking cotton land.
Will it improve cotton land where a
great deal of compost has been used and
peas plant*:, in tne middle to break it
deep every two or three years wita a
two horse plow? W. I„ Irwinton.
R.
The land would bo improved by the
plowing you suggest, but it would bo
better to increase the depth of the plow
ing gradually, going a little deeper each
year, plowin : to the depth of the sur
face soil th*' tirst. year a ml turning up a
little of the subsoil the second. Another
matter wliicn should govern you is the
character of your subsoil, and we an
swer on th* supposition that you have a
clay sub oil. Bringing up a portion of
sue!: sul >1 * ach year to where disinte
gration vuui.i take place would add to
the supply of potash and phosphoric acid
in your surface soil. Another advan
tage of deep plowing is that it aids the
crops to withstand drouth.
